At this time, a murmur of discussion also came from the crowd who were watching Zhao Tian's introduction.
"Wow, so he's Professor Qian?"
"What? You know Professor Qian?"
"I don't know him, but I've heard of him."
"Do you know the latest air combat fighter launched by the country two years ago? Professor Qian is the developer of the engine for that fighter and was awarded a first-class merit citation by the state!"
"My god, this is so fierce."
"Right, right, I heard he retired two years ago, but was later specially rehired by Q University. It seems that they are all students of Q University."
"That girl just said that Professor Qian is their instructor, this is also too formidable!"
"What a formidable scientist, and that girl casually said he kept his own students as mistresses? Tsk tsk, this idea is too disgusting."
"Isn't that right? A first-class national merit award winner, who has made such a great contribution to the country, is now being humiliated like this."
"I said he didn't look like the type to keep a young mistress, but clearly being a refined and dignified person, that little girl kept pouring bucket after bucket of dirty water on him."
"Alas, the world is in decline."
It's like this again! It's like this again!! Su Lian clenched her fists, her fingernails digging deep into her flesh, leaving deep marks. Every time she had some free time, she could turn other people's views around, making her lose face completely!
Enduring the accusations of the onlookers, Su Lian tearfully said: "I'm sorry, Professor Qian. I didn't know your identity. I was just too worried about my sister and got anxious, so I misunderstood your relationship with her."
"Xiao Lian, what are you apologizing for? What's wrong with the professor? There are many unscrupulous professors these days!"
"Mom, please don't say anything else!"
This time Su Lian really and sincerely stopped her mother from continuing to talk nonsense. She was a student of Q University, and she knew Professor Qian's reputation all too well.
When the fighter was announced, Professor Qian was a big hit, and all sorts of news media carried reports on it. After he retired, he was rehired by the university at a high salary to continue teaching, and the university put up many banners and posters to welcome him back with great fanfare.
All these happened two years ago when she was a freshman and didn't know much, but also heard from her seniors.
She was a big-mouthed student, in front of many people, she spoke recklessly and slandered the school's specially appointed professor for keeping her own students. If the school found out about this, she would no longer be able to stay in school. With Professor Qian's reputation, not to mention Q University, famous schools at home and abroad wouldn't want her either.
But her mother did not know the severity of the matter and could not explain it now, she could only firmly stop her from speaking again.
"It's not me who should apologize, but rather you, Idle." Professor Qian said coldly.
Su Lian's expression stiffened for a moment, but quickly recovered, only to clench her fists even tighter. Being forced to apologize to Xian Yu in front of everyone again, this humiliation, she would not forget!
"I'm sorry, sister."
"Who is your sister, always chattering nonstop." Zhao Tian said disdainfully.
Su Lian's tears flowed even more fiercely, "Sorry, Xian Yu." After saying that, she didn't wait for their reaction and pulled Xian Mu out of the crowd.
After walking far away, her mother finally pitied and wiped away tears for her, saying: "Xiao Lian, why did you just stop me from speaking? Those few female students and their instructor appearing together at the airport, who knows what kind of relationship they have? They dare to do it but don't allow others to suspect?"
Although she is also very annoyed now, she has to endure her mother-in-law's foolish patience in explaining the reasons to her. No wonder Dad doesn't like her, not a single brain cell, if it were her, she wouldn't like such a woman either.
At this moment, she forgot her mother's care and love for her, and in her heart there was only resentment and hypocrisy. If her mother knew what she was thinking, she would probably sigh that the heavens are fair and just.
The original owner had been craving for motherly love, but her mother was stingy and didn't give her any. Now that she needs emotional support, she pours all her motherly love into her own biological daughter, only to find that this daughter doesn't cherish or appreciate it, making her a true ungrateful wolf.
After everyone dispersed, a few people finally had breakfast. Zhou Mei suddenly asked Zhao Tian: "Zhao Tian, how did you just reveal Professor Qian's identity?"
Zhao Tian was drinking porridge and was confused, why couldn't she say it?
She still didn't understand, so Zhou Mei's expression turned serious: "Can't you think about it? If someone else spreads this thing out and even takes a video to post online, those people who don't know the truth will exaggerate and distort it, how much impact will it have on Professor Qian's reputation?"
Zhao Tian finally understood and realized how reckless her behavior had been earlier, and she hastily apologized to Professor Qian.
"It's all right, I can walk upright and sit properly, I'm not afraid of what others say." Professor Qian comforted with a smile.
Despite this, Zhao Tian still couldn't help but blame herself. Fortunately, public opinion was on their side at the time, or else who knows what kind of big trouble would have ensued.
"I'll definitely change this habit of mine that has no filter from now on, I swear!" Zhao Tian said solemnly, holding up four fingers.
Zhou Mei just reminded her and let it go after seeing that she realized the severity of the matter.
Delayed by Su Lian for so long, several people sped up, quickly finished eating and went to pick up their boarding passes and luggage.
After checking in their luggage, they ran into Su Lian and Xian Mu at the security checkpoint. It was indeed a narrow road for enemies to meet. Apparently, Su Lian had also seen them, her face changed as she pulled Xian Mu to change to a security checkpoint far away from them, leaving Zhao Tianle unable to bear watching.
Fortunately, they didn't have such a strong fate that they were stuck together at the gate, and I could finally breathe a sigh of relief without having to see someone I don't like.
From B city to Australia, a dozen hours flight, they departed at 11:30 and arrived at 2 or 3 in the morning.
After arriving on Earth, the first time sitting on a plane was just a novel experience. Although they sat on the plane for a long time, everyone didn't feel particularly tired, and since everyone's family background was quite good, Zhou Mei had booked first class, so they slept soundly on the plane.
The sudden drop in temperature after getting off the plane caught them off guard. They hastily took off their down jackets, fortunately they had prepared beforehand and were wearing short sleeves underneath.
Qian Xuanxuan also took off his little yellow man down jacket with the help of Xian Yu, revealing a little yellow man T-shirt inside. Xian Yu smiled and raised an eyebrow, joking: "Xuanxuan, is this little yellow man from inside to outside?"
Qian Xuan was teased by her and became somewhat shy, directly covering his face with his hand and not looking at her.
Just then Zhou Mei's booked driver arrived, and several people got in the car and rushed to the hotel under the cover of night.
After arriving at the hotel, Zhao Tian finally couldn't help but ask Zhou Mei: "Have you been to Australia before? How did you arrange everything so thoroughly?"
Zhou Wei gave her a glance and retorted, "Do you think I'm like you, traveling abroad without any preparation? This was arranged by my mom's secretary for us. Moreover, the owner of this hotel is my mom's friend, so we're all getting a 20% discount on our stay."
Zhao Tian ignored her cold stare and sarcastic tone, saying: "Then you ask your mom another day if she's lacking a daughter or not, money isn't the issue, it's mainly about liking this kind of mom."
Zhou Mei was too lazy to bother with her, so she went ahead and checked in. Since Qian Xuanxuan was still young, it wasn't safe for him to sleep alone, so she didn't book a room for Qian Xuanxuan and instead had him share a room with Professor Qian.
It's getting late, so everyone went back to their rooms to continue sleeping and recharge for tomorrow's outing.
