Chapter 55

The gossip post regarding Qiao Mu and Han Su was taken down by the network administrator not long after.

Han Su gave Qiao Mu a call to apologise, and told her that he would handle this matter without causing her any trouble.

Qiao Mu was not particularly perturbed about the entire event. She just felt that something had gone wrong with Yao Shu since that night. But she also did not think too much about it.

However, on the next day, Qiao Mu was called to the office by the department head.

The department head was a middle-aged woman with old-fashioned glasses. Judging by her appearance, she was not someone to be trifled with.

Qiao Mu asked respectfully, “Madam, why did you call me here?”

The department head had a serious expression on her face, “Qiao Mu, you have had quite a lot of after class entertainment recently. Don’t forget that studying is your main task. Don’t be influenced by the society’s climate! It’s very easy for you to go astray when you look past your duties as a student now!”

Qiao Mu was confused, “Madam, I don’t understand. Did I make any mistakes?”

She only got exposure from attending a banquet. It was unlikely for her to be called to the office because of that, right?

“This about your recent behaviors. Do you really not know what you did wrong? Have you ever thought about what would happen when the school finds out that you were spotted at nightclubs? Young people your age don’t focus on your studies, but rely on your good looks to reap without sowing. I heard that you were extremely tight on cash recently, so you kept going to those indecent places. Don’t be so vain as a young woman. Does that look like the right place to earn money?” The department head stared regretfully at Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu was stunned, “Madam, who told you that?”

“You still have the nerves to ask? You were not exactly discreet, weren’t you? A student’s parent saw you at the nightclub and reported you to the university. The parent said that our university’s morals are corrupted, and demanded that we deal with students like you in order to make an example for the other students! You’re really in deep trouble this time!”

How was this possible? Qiao Mu only went to Shades of Darkness once, and not many people could have spotted her, let alone some students’ parents?

Qiao Mu furrowed her brows pitifully, “Madam, you can’t just go by conjecture and hearsay. I deny going to any nightclubs whatsoever. Besides, how can any random student’s parent recognize me? It is either a case of mistaken identity, I am being set up! Madam, you can’t simply jump to conclusions!”

The department head pushed her glasses and said with a cold expression, “You don’t have to quibble anymore. Ask your parents to come tomorrow, I would like to have a word with them!”

Qiao Mu instantly felt a chill in her heart. She wanted to continue her pleas, but the department head did not give her any chance to do so at all.

Calling her parents over? It would be the end of her if her father knew about her wrongdoings! Her father did not have the time to come to the university, so her stepmother would come instead. It was obvious that the consequences would be even worse!

This single tip-off would open a barrel of worms! All her secrets and clandestine activities would be out in the open! If Yu Tingyun had the mind to find out, with a little investigation, she would discover that Qiao Mu was in contact with her birth mother.

Qiao Mu definitely could not let such things happen!

Right at that moment,Li Yan was the first person Qiao Mu could think of to ask for help. She hung her head dejectedly as she stared at her cell phone. She did not know Li Yan’s phone number at all.

She had no means of contacting him even if she truly wanted to!

Li Yan never contacted her again ever since that night when he had furiously sent her out of his car. Obviously, it was very unlikely to ask him for help now.

Qiao Mu was extremely puzzled. Who was the person who reported her? Not many people knew about that. She did offend someone in Shades of Darkness, but it seemed like President Chen was very terrified of Li Yan. If he wanted to take revenge on her, he could straightaway do that to her. He did not need to use such a roundabout method.
