Chapter 1382 Unrequited Love 36
Zhou Jinxu noticed that something was wrong with Xu Yanzhen, and he turned to look at her, asking, "What's wrong?"

Xu Yanzhen covered her face: "You've been photographed, and now your colleagues are all talking about you."

Zhou Jinxu casually suggested, "Do you need me to clarify this?"

“No need,” Xu Yanzhen said, enunciating each word clearly. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to.”

Zhou Jinxu chuckled twice, and the car quickly headed towards the restaurant.

Xu Yanzhen only had two classes in the morning today, but she still had to go to school in the afternoon. She originally thought her colleagues would keep asking her all sorts of questions, but strangely enough, when she returned to the office, everyone treated her very normally, as if the noisy group chat at noon had never happened.

Little did she know that her colleagues had created a new group chat. Now, without Xu Yanzhen in the group, her colleagues were chatting away enthusiastically.

Xu Yanzhen didn't understand, but she was happy to have some peace and quiet.

After preparing for next week's lessons, Xu Yanzhen was about to leave work when she saw the head of the teaching department coming over with his hands behind his back: "Teacher Xu, come to my office."

Xu Yanzhen was a little confused, but remembering that she had originally needed to see the dean of students, she agreed and followed him out of the office. The teachers who had been in the office immediately and in unison lowered their heads to their phones after the two left.

"Ahem," a soft cough sounded outside the window. The head of the teaching department opened the window and swept his stern gaze around the office. The teachers immediately stood up, some to pour water, and some to pour water, their previous gossipy enthusiasm completely gone.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yanzhen understood and guessed that the dean of students and Zhou Jinxu had a good personal relationship.

The dean of students now regards Xu Yanzhen almost like a god of wealth. Zhou Jinxu donated a library to the school, so of course he can't let Xu Yanzhen have a bad experience at school.

"Teacher Xu, let's go to the office to talk."

Inside the office, the head of the teaching department personally poured tea for Xu Yanzhen, then sat down opposite her: "Ms. Xu, have you had any troubles at work lately?"

Xu Yanzhen shook her head: "No, everyone is very friendly, and the students are very well-behaved and obedient."

The head of teaching nodded: "Teacher Xu, if you have any problems at work, just come to me. I'll do my best to help you."

Xu Yanzhen could only nod: "Thank you for your concern, Director."

She hesitated for a moment; "I happen to have something I need to ask the director for his opinion on."

She pulled out the list of impoverished students that Tan You had given her from her bag: "I've been learning about financial management lately, and I have some extra money. Money is meant to be spent; keeping it in an account is just a string of numbers."

“I have five students in my class who are struggling financially, but their circumstances don’t meet the criteria for receiving aid. I’m planning to provide them with private financial assistance. Does the school have any regulations regarding this?”

The head of teaching affairs didn't expect Xu Yanzhen to bring this up. He glanced at her and asked, "Ms. Xu, what are your personal thoughts? Setting up a small foundation?"

Xu Yanzhen said without hesitation: "I plan to set up a small foundation. There's no need to publicize it. As long as the recipients know about it, that's fine. I'm not doing this for fame."

"Moreover, I don't have much money on hand right now, so I can only sponsor this batch at the moment."

The head of teaching thought for a moment and said, "That's simple. We've done this kind of targeted assistance before. It's just that, Ms. Xu, you can't help everyone by yourself. We teachers only have so much money."

Xu Yanzhen chuckled: "I understand. I wasn't trying to be brave. How could I possibly protect so many people by myself?"

Seeing that Xu Yanzhen was open-minded, the head of the teaching department was relieved. He took the list and said, "I'll take care of these procedures for you. This matter will be completed by Friday at the latest."

Xu Yanzhen left the dean's office. The dean hesitated for a moment, then made a phone call: "President Zhou, it's me, Xiao Qi." "Teacher Xu just spoke to me about the paired assistance program for her class..."

"Yes, yes, yes... I will definitely handle this matter well."

After ending the call, the dean of students wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. This President Zhou, though seemingly gentle, was actually extremely difficult to deal with; talking to him was nerve-wracking.

It's tough on a beauty like Ms. Xu; she'll have to face President Zhou's cold face from now on.

How pitiful.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Wen Che had taken the afternoon off. Jin He, Wen Huizhen, and Wen Che waited at the hospital for the paternity test results.

Actually, without any testing, Jin He knew that Wen Che was definitely his son. He was simply waiting here to obtain legal evidence.

Around five o'clock, the results came out. Jin He glanced at the data charts and only looked at the final conclusion. Sure enough, the test results showed that he and Wen Che were father and son.

Jin He stood frozen in place for a long time before finally folding the report and looking at Wen Huizhen and Wen Che beside him: "Let's talk."

Wen Hui remained calm and composed: "Fine, let's talk."

She had originally planned to rekindle her relationship with Kim Hyuk, and the three of them would live happily together. But if Kim Hyuk didn't want to be with her, then she would demand money.

Wen Hui knew better than anyone how much it cost to raise a child. Although her parents were somewhat wealthy, why should the Wen family have to pay for everything?

Jin He found a coffee shop, which happened to be Yu Ning's. When the coffee was brought up, Yu Ning recognized Wen Huizhen. His hand immediately trembled: "Huizhen? You're back? When did you get back?"

He glanced again at Wen Che, who was standing next to Wen Huizhen, and almost dropped his coffee.

Jinhe glanced at him and said, "Go do your thing. I have something to say to her."

Yu Ning hurriedly carried the tray back to the bar, but this time he handed over the task of serving guests to the waiters, while he himself frantically sent messages in the group chat.

Yu Ning: [Damn it, Wen Huizhen is back, and she brought a son with her, probably Jin He's.]

Shi Cheng appeared quickly: [Really? Are you sure you saw it clearly?]

Yu Ning glanced towards the window: [I saw it clearly. That kid is definitely Jin He's son; he looks so much like Jin He, especially his eyes.]

Chu Qian: [So what does Jin He plan to do? Will he really marry Wen Hui?]

Yu Ning: [How could he be content with that? He likes Teacher Xu!]

Chu Qian frowned, typed a message, and sent it: 【Don't ruin Teacher Xu's reputation. Teacher Xu doesn't like Jin He at all.】

Yu Ning sighed regretfully, thinking of Zhou Jinxu whom she had seen at the stadium that day: "I don't know what Jin He is going to do. There was already little hope, and now this kid has suddenly appeared."

What good woman would willingly become a stepmother for no reason? Especially when his biological mother is still alive.

Shi Cheng: [It's been a long time since we had a get-together with Teacher Xu. How about we all get together sometime?]

Chu Qian: [Didn't you all just see each other at the stadium last week?]
