"Sounds good. Having a good night's sleep is an absolute must after having your fill!" Li Meng stood up as well.
After they walked out of the dining room, Mu Huan peeked inside it through the window.
Li Meng asked, "What are you looking at?"
"See if the person sitting behind us has left."
"Why, what's up with him?"
"I feel like he's been eavesdropping on our conversation." Those last sentences Mu Huan had spoken inside were for the benefit of the person behind her.
"What?!" Li Meng was shocked.
Just as she was about to look through the window, Mu Huan grabbed her shoulder and said, "Let's go back to the dormitory!"
"Xiao Huan... could he be a bad person?" Li Meng asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm worse than anyone else!" Mu Huan sneered.
After the analysis she'd done earlier, she'd been increasingly feeling that everything that had happened last night was meticulously planned. It was all done to make her sad and upset, to get her to make a scene with Bo Junyan, and to destroy their relationship. Ling Wei wanted to let her know that she was back and that Mu Huan had better make her retreat.
But to back out of a difficult situation? What a joke! Her husband was hers! Why would she want to back out?! She already had it in her possession, so why would keeping it be so difficult?! No matter who tried to snatch it from her, she, Mu Huan, would play along!
Very quickly, Mu Huan's conversation with Li Meng at the canteen reached the Imperial Capital.
"She's pretty smart, " the old man said with his eyes closed.
...
Even though she was initially angry, after thinking the matter through, Mu Huan had managed to figure out that someone had deliberately caused this situation to turn out this way. Hence, Mu Huan could calm down completely and then fall asleep.
Her nap that afternoon was still very blissful.
After she woke up, she and Li Meng went to the school's auditorium. For this afternoon, the medical department had invited a well-known expert to be a guest professor and give a lecture.
Everyone from the pharmaceutical faculty had to be present.
When they arrived, the auditorium was almost full. She and Li Meng sat near the farthest row. Seeing that there was still some time before it started, Mu Huan took out her phone and called Bo Junyan again. Unsurprisingly, her phone was switched off. She put her phone away and picked up the booklet on her seat to read.
"I heard that the professor is really young! And that she's a beauty!"
"I've never heard that she's a beauty. I've heard only that she's a very capable person. She's got three doctoral degrees, and I even heard that she comes from a good family. Her family business is on par with the Bo Corporation!"
"Really? She's so good! She comes from such a good background and yet she's studying so hard?"
"It's not hard work, it's talent! She's talented! Three doctoral degrees! A normal person would be older than 30 by the time they get one Ph. D. I heard that she's not even 30 yet! Someone who's not even 30 has not just one Ph. D. degree but three. If it's not because she's talented, do you think that'd be possible?"
"That's true!"
"Sigh, ever since I saw Big Boss Qian's autobiographies, I've felt that talent is the most important thing in this world. Some people are born with the ability to learn everything fast, unlike us who study hard and go almost bald with the effort. And we still have to worry about failing."
"That's right. She received three doctoral degrees before she reached 30, and one of those is the most difficult, which is a doctorate in medicine. Meanwhile, even with our hard work, we might not be able to even get into graduate school..."
"Stop it. If we continue thinking about this, we'd end up not wanting to live anymore!"
"Oh, right, this rumor is highly confidential, but I heard that the professor at this lecture is one of the experts invited by our school to do that medical research project!"
