Chapter 16 – To untie the bell, one must find the person who tied it

Lin Feng looked at the number on the note, feeling inexplicably complex.

After hesitating for a moment, he took the note and walked out of the private room.

"Lin Feng, we're about to start. Where are you going?" Yun Jingchu, who had been keeping an eye on Lin Feng, immediately called out loudly.

If Lin Feng left, who would he show off to tonight?

But Lin Feng seemed not to hear him, directly ignoring him and walking out of the private room!

Damn it!!!

Yun Jingchu clenched his fists.

The anger in his heart made him want to immediately gather a group of people to stomp Lin Feng underfoot!

A parasite of society, an ant!

What the hell makes you so arrogant?

Daring to ignore me again and again?

"Director Yun, he's just a nobody, no need to mind him!" A school administrator, noticing the situation, quickly spoke up.

"Jingchu, you and Lin Feng are from two different worlds... he's not worth your attention," Zhao Shuang'er also gently advised.

"Hehe... you misunderstand! I'm just worried I didn't host well enough. Lin Feng might not be in a good mindset, but I value relationships. He's an old classmate of mine; I can't let him lose face."

Yun Jingchu's face returned to a smile, but a cold glint flickered deep in his eyes.

Lin Feng had repeatedly embarrassed him, thoroughly offending him!

Without any hesitation, he took out his phone and sent a message.

...

After leaving the private room, Lin Feng found a secluded corner, took out his phone, and dialed the number from the note.

At this point, he had no choice but to face it.

He had made up his mind!

If Chen Yinuo was really not doing well, he would win her back!!

To love someone is to accept everything about them!

Moreover, it was he, Lin Feng, who had wronged her.

The call connected quickly.

"Hello?"

Chen Yinuo's hoarse voice came from the other end.

The voice didn't sound like that of a thirty-year-old woman; it was more like that of a woman who had endured much hardship!

"It's me!"

Lin Feng's voice trembled slightly.

"Yinuo, it's Lin Feng! I'm back..."

There was a long silence on the other end, then the call was abruptly disconnected.

Unwilling to give up, Lin Feng called again, but this time, the call wasn't even answered.

"Yinuo..."

Lin Feng clenched his fist, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

...

Meanwhile.

In a dim, narrow basement,

Chen Yinuo sat dazedly on the bed, holding an old phone, tears silently streaming down her face.

If it were before,

Upon hearing Lin Feng's call, she would have cursed him out, asking where he had been all these years.

Why did he disappear back then?

But after seeing Lin Feng hugging two young girls during the day, her heart had completely died.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Lin Feng,

But what reason did she have now to believe?

Chen Yinuo walked to the mirror, looking at her reflection.

Her face was slightly sickly,

She appeared very despondent and melancholic!

Thinking of the hardships endured over the past ten years, she felt she was truly a fool!

Clearly a rich and beautiful woman, once hailed as a campus beauty...

Why did she let herself become like this?

Life was a mess, like a pile of dog shit!

All for a so-called and laughable love?

"Mama... Mama."

At this moment, a little girl in a pink dress suddenly woke up from a dream.

The little girl had big eyes, long eyelashes, and delicate features like a doll, but she seemed very dull and wooden.

"Mama's here, Mama's here."

Chen Yinuo quickly comforted her, and once the little girl calmed down, she took out her phone and made a call.

Once the call connected, she hoarsely said:

"Mom, I was wrong. I want to come home tomorrow."

"Yinuo, you finally came to your senses! Don't blame your dad, he saw your suffering and felt it deeply! If he hadn't frozen your card, you'd never have given up!"

A woman's voice comforted from the other end.

Then, the woman added:

"Yinuo, do you remember the Jiang family?"

"I remember!"

"Well, your brother will be going to Jinling City in a few days. If you're struggling, you can seek help from the Jiang family, and then return with your brother, okay?"

Chen Yinuo was silent for a moment upon hearing this.

The Jiang family was a prestigious family in Jinling City.

The fiancé her mother had introduced before was also a member of the Jiang family.

So she naturally understood what her mother meant!

If it were before, she would never agree, but now it didn't matter anymore.

"Okay!"

Chen Yinuo replied.

After hanging up the phone,

Her haggard face instantly turned cold.

She vowed that from now on, she would never let anyone bully her or her daughter again!

Never!!!

...

On the other side.

Lin Feng quietly returned to the private room.

"Brother... are you okay?" Lin Yun Yao noticed something was off and asked worriedly.

"I'm fine!"

Lin Feng shook his head.

Actually, Chen Yinuo's reaction was within his expectations.

After seven years of knowing each other, he understood Chen Yinuo's character too well!

Chen Yinuo was someone who took relationships very seriously.

Since she had already married and had a daughter, no matter how bad her life was, she wouldn't entertain him again.

What puzzled him was why Chen Yinuo left her number with the teacher.

"What did she say?"

At this moment, Ouyang Xiu asked from the side.

"She said 'hello' and then hung up."

Lin Feng chuckled bitterly.

"This... can't be! She left her number specifically for you to call her."

Ouyang Xiu frowned.

"Maybe something happened in between that I don't know about!"

Lin Feng shook his head and sighed:

"Sigh... at this point, saying more is useless! Some things, some people, once past, are truly past. Forcing it would only be bad for both sides."

Ouyang Xiu nodded.

As their teacher, there was only so much he could do.

He understood that matters of the heart couldn't be helped by outsiders.

Only the one who tied the knot can untie it!

...

As time passed,

Several more people arrived in the private room.

All were school administrators and some responsible for the new campus construction.

Every one of them greeted Yun Jingchu with nods and bows, showing great enthusiasm.

"Seeing is believing, Director Yun is indeed a talented person!"

"Haha... Director Yun, this matter is in your hands now!"

"Director Yun, if there's a chance, let me treat you to a meal, please do me the honor."

"You're all too kind! It's my honor to contribute to my alma mater."

Yun Jingchu held his head high, thoroughly enjoying the admiration.

Especially since these people were leaders from his alma mater, giving him a sense of achievement.

At this moment,

Wang Tiangao looked at Lin Feng and said indifferently:

"Director Yun is magnanimous, unlike some people who are petty and have no skills, yet put on airs."

With these words,

Everyone in the room looked at Lin Feng with strange expressions.

Some newcomers didn't understand why Vice Principal Wang was targeting Lin Feng, but after an explanation from those nearby, they understood.

Got it!

Another person with ambitions as high as the sky but a fate as cheap as paper.

They had seen many such people.

So after a glance, they withdrew their gaze.

Today's occasion was for them to build connections with Yun Jingchu, not to waste time on a self-important nobody.

"What gives you the right to talk about my brother like that?"

Lin Yun Yao couldn't stand anyone talking about her brother like that, so she immediately asked angrily.

"Little Yao, don't speak rashly."

Li Xiaoke quickly pulled Lin Yun Yao aside.

Wang Tiangao was the vice principal of Jinling University, and they were students there.

Little Yao's words were practically putting herself on the fire!

"Are you a student at our school?"

Wang Tiangao looked at Lin Yun Yao, his face dark.

Before Lin Yun Yao could reply,

Li Xiaoke quickly stood up, smiling apologetically:

"Principal Wang, Little Yao is young and ignorant, please don't take it to heart."

"Hmph! Young people should act their age, don't think that just because you're full of youthful vigor, you can be fearless! The price you'll pay isn't something you can afford!"

"So young, yet so indiscreet! If you don't want to study, I can make that happen."

Wang Tiangao snorted coldly.

Lin Yun Yao's face turned pale upon hearing this.

She hadn't expected the other party to be so unreasonable, directly threatening her academic status.

Seeing this,

Yun Jingchu stood by with arms crossed, as if watching a show.

He knew Wang Tiangao was trying to curry favor with him, but he still felt secretly pleased.

Beside him,

Zhao Shuang'er shook her head slightly, finding it laughable.

She hadn't expected Lin Feng to be ignorant, but his sister was just as foolish!

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

Truly, birds of a feather flock together.

What right does a powerless, ordinary student have to question a school leader?
