Chapter 346: Chapter 164: An Unexpected United Front

The students of the Big Data class disbanded across the campus, and by the time they did, it had already been the evening of the 5th.

"All right, everyone go back to your homes, see you at the start of school!"

Su Huai clapped her hands, instructing Gao and Er Gao to take her luggage back to the dormitory, then turned and headed towards the residential area.

Wang and Professor Cheng were both at home and had already been informed.

But Su Huai still planned to make a personal visit to explain the situation.

A person with a sense of responsibility never neglects the details, and the first thing Su Huai said when she visited was an apology.

"I’m sorry, Professor Cheng, I didn’t take good care of Gugu..."

"What are you talking about, child? How could this be blamed on you?"

Professor Cheng, despite his concern, was still extremely composed and rational.

"We were prepared for Yueyue to possibly get a bit sick and suffer a little when we let her out. It’s an unpredictable matter with her frailness and weak constitution, and we don’t blame anyone."

In comparison, Wang was not quite the same, puffing out his beard and glaring with his eyes.

However, he was just sulking silently on the side, without uttering a word.

Even so, Professor Cheng still occasionally looked at him with cold eyes, warning him to keep quiet.

"Su..."

Professor Cheng chatted with her amiably, "Did Yueyue have fun?"

"Very much, she laughed a lot."

Su Huai replied realistically, "But it’s also possible that she was too happy, and the extreme joy and sorrow exacerbated her physical exhaustion. I was vigilant in other aspects, yet I hadn’t considered this factor. The responsibility is mine."

"Not at all!"

Professor Cheng grabbed Su Huai’s hand, gently patted it twice, and kept comforting.

"Don’t take it to heart. Her happiness is better than anything. We understand that you can’t have the best of both worlds. When we agreed to let her go, granny was already psychologically prepared for problems.

Child, having a sense of responsibility is good, but don’t blame yourself for things beyond your control. It’s not your fault, what do you have to feel guilty about?"

Su Huai was moved.

Professor Cheng might have had her own motives, but she indeed displayed a kind of profound character and broad-mindedness.

It sounds simple, yet not every parent can do this.

The higher the position of the parent, the easier it is to vent downward, because blaming others is always simpler than self-digestion and it releases emotions more effectively.

Gu Tongshu certainly wouldn’t be so understanding.

As Su Huai thought this, she became even more eager to know the current state of Gu Jiuyue.

"How is Gugu doing? I’ve just finished settling everyone else and haven’t had the chance to communicate with Wu."

"It’s nothing serious, some inflammation in her respiratory system, irregular heartbeat, she might need to properly rest for a few days, but it’s not a severe case."

Su Huai was astonished: Still not severe after having lost consciousness?

Cheng LiHua explained softly, "We, as elders, know Yueyue’s physical condition best. We restricted her outings before because it truly wasn’t safe.

But now, she’s 18 years old, and her own opinions are increasingly firm. We can’t keep her caged forever.

So essentially, this is a matter of choice.

Staying at home and not going anywhere is the safest, but long-term psychological oppression isn’t necessarily good either. Lin Daiyu is a clear example.

Going out frequently indeed carries various risks, but she might gradually adapt and slowly increase the resilience of her life.

You don’t need to overthink it. Although your views and Uncle Gu’s may differ, ultimately, the way she chooses to live her life is up to Yueyue herself.

She wants freedom and happiness and is willing to take risks. All we can do is support her and at most make various preparations.

Wu and I have been informed of your efforts to protect and restrict Yueyue. Regardless of what others think, I believe you’ve done well and have lived up to granny’s initial expectations.

There’s no need for a special apology. On the contrary, granny is thankful to you, Su. You are a trustworthy and good child, and you can still freely decide when and where you want to go and play in the future."

There’s another ’good child’ card...

Although Su Huai had been a seasoned social operative in her 30s, having tasted all kinds of life’s hard knocks, she was still moved by Professor Cheng’s attitude, her emotions stirring.

In human interactions, sincerity is the ultimate trump card, and she had achieved that.

Upon hearing her words, Old Scratcher also awkwardly expressed his stance, "Su, an accident is an accident, and attitude is attitude. Since your merits outweigh your faults, I am very satisfied... Come on, have some tea and sit down!"

Old Scratcher took out his prized tea cake and urged Su Huai to stay a while longer, asking her about what they did in Sanya.

Su Huai sat for half an hour before taking her leave.

Before she left, Wang Yuqing, a distinguished professor, took advantage of a moment when Cheng LiHua was away, patted Su Huai on the shoulder with a sly look, and asked, "Su, I heard you got into a fight with a nouveau riche to protect Yueyue there?"

"Yes."

Su Huai didn’t understand his attitude and responded cautiously.

Then, Wang Yuqing followed up, "I saw that you seemed to have gotten the worse end of it. You lost out, didn’t you?"

"Not really, the other person ended up more injured than I did."

Hearing this, Old Scratcher suddenly bared his teeth in amusement, his eyes brimming with laughter.

"Whoa, I didn’t realize you had it in you, huh? Hahaha... *cough cough* Fighting is not good. Don’t be so impulsive next time!"

Su Huai looked at Old Scratcher with disdain: You should gather up your big teeth before talking to me.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t be contained!

"Hahaha!"
