Chapter 912: Chapter 912: Here Comes a Wave of Divine Assistance

"My godfather is the best man in the world, besides my dad, my grandpa, and my grandad!"

Speaking of her beloved godfather, Luoluo perked up.

"When I grow up, I want to marry him! But my mom disagrees; she says godfather is a friend of our family, and that I’m too naughty, I can’t bite the hand that feeds me... ah."

When it came to this matter, the little one was actually distressed.

"Pfft." The senior sister laughed at her adorable manner.

Thinking of Su Zhe’s expressionless face and then seeing the twins’ adoration for him that knew no bounds, senior sister felt uncle Su seemed a lot more approachable.

After all, a man who likes children and is willing to spend time winning their hearts, couldn’t be that scary, right?

"Hey, aren’t these the Yu Family’s ’Age’ and ’Gege’?" A sharp voice came from the side.

The senior sister looked over and saw several aunties sitting on low stools picking vegetables, looking at the twins with acidic eyes.

The twins, seeing them, huffed— one turned their head to the left, and the other to the right, their disdain clear, and even the senior sister could see it.

"They’re here to see Professor Su, aren’t they? And they brought a girl with them?"

The eyes of the aunties circled around the senior sister, full of gossip.

They were the ones who last time had gossiped about Su Zhe, and it was because of them that the twins ended up carrying cabbages.

Because of this incident, Suizi held a grudge and pressured the Dean, resulting in the aunties’ bonuses being docked as punishment, which of course left them bearing a grudge as well.

Not daring to say anything in front of Suizi’s husband and wife and Su Zhe, but upon seeing the two kids, thinking the kids were easy to handle and wouldn’t pass on the message, they started with their barbed comments.

"This maiden looks quite attractive. What, is your Imperial Mother still not giving up, still fancying herself matching Professor Su with someone?"

These aunties had given the twins nicknames, Gege and Age, which were quite sarcastic but not exaggerated.

If Suizi’s family’s circumstances were placed in the past, these two kids would indeed be a Gege and an Age.

"I’m not—" The senior sister, unaware of these grudges, felt somewhat embarrassed by what was being said and was about to retort when Luoluo made a face at the auntie who was talking.

"Yes! Auntie Xiaolan is my godfather’s girlfriend!"

"???" The senior sister was astonished. When had this happened, and why didn’t she know about it?

In fact, last time during dinner, Wang Cuihua and her mother-in-law discussed introducing the senior sister to Su Zhe, and the twins had heard it all at the table.

Although it seemed that arrangement didn’t end up happening, it was still gratifying to use it to annoy the aunties.

"Professor Su’s girlfriend?!" The cafeteria aunties, upon hearing this, forgot about choosing vegetables, stood up, and surrounded the senior sister and the twins.

Luoluo, fearing her bluff would be exposed, held the senior sister’s hand and looked at her pleadingly.

Bobo was also shaking the senior sister’s hand continuously. Although the children didn’t speak, the senior sister could feel their attitude.

She didn’t understand why the kids were saying this, and before she could ask, the cafeteria aunties launched their "attack."

"Look here, little Gege, no need to boast, isn’t this girl from Tsinghua University? A brilliant student from Tsinghua, how could she possibly be with Professor Su?"

The senior sister was carrying an unremarkable cloth bag, but it bore the Tsinghua University logo, clearly revealing her background; a brilliant student attracts extra attention wherever she goes.

"Exactly! Your Imperial Mother really should discipline you properly. Last time stealing cabbages, now lying. Tsk, tsk, tsk, at such a young age and already full of tall tales? A brilliant Tsinghua student, could she be Professor Su’s girlfriend?"

The aunties covered their mouths and chuckled, but the senior sister’s brows furrowed.

Bowing her head, she glanced at the puffed-up boy and girl twins and finally understood why the twins would say such things.

The people’s words were really harsh to the ears, and their eyes were full of scorn.

Not to mention the little ones, even someone like her who had barely met Uncle Su twice found it uncomfortable to listen to.

"Auntie, show some respect. Professor Su is a pillar of the nation, and his contributions are something us mortals will look up to for a whole lifetime," the senior sister retorted.

The twins nodded vigorously, thinking that yes, that’s what their parents had said.

"Us, not respect Professor Su?" the aunties said mockingly, resentment clear in their tone as if they’d found a place to vent after their salaries were docked. "It’s not us who said Professor Su’s leg was crippled. Little miss, you keep saying ’respect,’ but we don’t see you dating him."

"I—" The senior sister’s face turned red, at a loss for words. How could an unmarried young woman talk about dating in front of so many people?

In the eyes of the aunties, her reaction just confirmed that the twins were bluffing.

"Don’t bother pretending! You scholars are always mouthing off about morality and justice, preaching about principles, but who knows what you truly think. Let’s not mock each other! Professor Su’s contributions are indeed significant, but the fact that young ladies look down on him because of his leg, that’s also a reality!"

After speaking, one auntie mumbled under her breath.

"Which family would be willing to marry their daughter off to a cripple?"

They said the word ’cripple’ in a very low voice, scared of their wages being docked again.

Convinced the twins wouldn’t repeat what they said and seeing the senior sister as young and unlikely to cause trouble, they felt bold and without fear.

A surge of heat rose from the senior sister’s core to her forehead, and pointing at that auntie, she scolded:

"Low-life! Open your eyes and look! Not only am I dating Professor Su, but I was also the one who pursued him. I like people with such talent; my parents value his talent and character. Pigs can’t appreciate fine grains, and you have no idea what affection and respect mean!"

The twins cried out in unison, their four small hands clapping vigorously. For that speech alone, Auntie Xiaolan was now their friend.

Fueled by anger, the senior sister had blurted out those words, thinking she might lose the argument but not the momentum, as she tried to project the feeling of a thousand troops charging into battle.

Indeed, after her outburst, the aunties went silent, a look of fear simultaneously crossing their faces.

The senior sister stood with her hands on her hips, pleased. Scared, huh!

"Dean—?" The aunties’ gaze moved past the senior sister, settling on someone behind her.

A sense of dread washed over the senior sister. She turned around and became petrified.

A middle-aged man she hadn’t seen before stood behind her, his eyes behind his glasses misty...??

But what made the senior sister feel even more mortified was the presence of a clearly embarrassed Su Zhe beside the middle-aged man.

"Godfather~" The twins saw Su Zhe and happily plunged into his embrace.

"We’ve got other things to do... We’ll be leaving now..." The aunties saw things were turning sour and made a collective exit.

The senior sister wanted to flee too—no, right now, she wanted to die even more.

Heat flushed her face, turning it red enough to drip blood; her gaze accidentally met Su Zhe’s, and both the equally embarrassed man and woman turned away, making her face even hotter.

"Very good, very good!" The dean took off his glasses, wiped the tears of emotion, and looked at the senior sister with satisfaction. "We need talents like you right now. With you taking care of Professor Su, I’m at ease."

"I, um, that’s not what I meant—" the senior sister sputtered, unable to defend herself. She had not meant it that way at all.
