The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Nalan Chunbo was amazed by how jealous he could get, but he couldn’t help it. Wen Shan had been saying that she was doing it for If and ‘If Only Time Froze When We First Met’, but the truth was that they were both him.

Nalan Chunbo soon realized that he was just being silly, and Wen Shan would soon notice that something was fishy if he kept overreacting like this.

“You said you contacted a few seniors and none of them were willing to report the professor. Why did they refuse to help?” Nalan Chunbo took a deep breath and asked.

“Most of them are working with state-owned enterprises or big companies. None of them are willing to help because getting involved in a scandal like this would probably get them fired,” said Wen Shan helplessly, crossing her legs on the sofa.

“What about the rest?” Nalan Chunbo leaned back against the sofa and asked while holding Wen Shan’s hand.

“I can’t think of any other way. Yin Zhengdao has been in this university for too long and I really don’t think the university would go against him for a nobody, more so when a scandal like this is only going to damage the university’s reputation. Why did you think they postponed If’s inauguration right after they learned about this?” Wen Shan scoffed, “when the accusation is without evidence, the students will always be at a disadvantage.”

The truth was that Nalan Chunbo suggested to postpone the inauguration himself.

“Don’t worry, there must be a way,” Nalan Chunbo comforted Wen Shan, “there must be traces if he copied your work.”

Wen Shan nodded and hugged her bolster with one hand while wondering if there was anyone else who could help her out.

“And what about my thesis? He published it one day before I did, and that is a very strong point for him,” Wen Shan said unhappily.

“Let’s talk to Mao Cang,” Nalan Chunbo suggested.

“He is Yin Zhengdao’s minion, why would he admit that he stole my thesis?” She knew her senior well enough to know that he would not admit that he had done it.

Nalan Chunbo’s brows furrowed deeply. He did not expect the culture in academia to be like this in this country, and hadn’t foreseen something like this happening.

Though he wouldn’t be Nalan Chunbo if he gave up now.

“Let’s visit your seniors then, regardless of what they said about helping us,” Nalan Chunbo suggested.

Wen Shan nodded at Nalan Chunbo, still looking upset.

Nalan Chunbo’s eyes brightened suddenly as an idea crossed his mind. They must go to Wen Shan’s seniors, but there was something that he had to do before seeing them.

Wen Tao had called Wen Shan the moment he learned about the incident, and he had not been happy. Wen Shan felt that her brother would have gone to her university to talk to Yin Zhengdao if Nalan Chunbo hadn’t talked him out of it.

And how Nalan Chunbo talked Wen Tao out of it made Wen Shan blush, because his exact words were: “her problems are my problems from now on, and I do not wish to trouble you as her brother anymore.”

What Nalan Chunbo said was something that even Wen Tao wouldn’t have imagined hearing.

For a brief moment, Wen Tao actually felt emotional about the fact that his baby sister had grown up.

He had watched when his sister was carried out of the delivery room, and he had watched as his sister turned older each year. All this while, he had been by her side no matter if she was being bullied or when she was bullying someone.

So how could he accept it when a man appeared out of nowhere and told him that his sister’s problems were his problems now?

“Hey, what are you thinking?” asked Xiao Yaojing. She was only two months pregnant but she felt like her tummy was bulging. She was wearing her work attire with her baby bump showing.
