Rong Qi held her phone slightly away from her ear, her lips twitching slightly as she responded. She thought, âNo wonder Han Ning was often quick to curse and fight. Could this be genetic?â
After a moment, Rong Qi heard banging on the door from the other end of the call, followed by Mr. Han yelling angrily.
A while later, Mr. Han said, âIâm sorry for bothering you, Miss. That brat indeed skipped class. Iâll bring him to the university right away. Please, donât give him any demerits. Itâs all my fault. We had an argument yesterday, and we havenât made up yet. Heâs still in a bad mood. Please rest assured, Iâll bring him over right now. Please donât give him any demerits.â
Rong Qi replied, âI wonât. If Han Ning is in a bad mood, 1 can approve leave for him today so he can rest.â
âOh, you donât have to, really. No student should get such treatment. Heâs here to study, not to be pampered. Miss, please rest assured, Iâll bring him over now. It wonât disrupt your teaching.â
âAlright then.â Rong Qi hung up the phone, feeling somewhat amazed. She knew a bit about Han Ningâs family background, but she hadnât expected this kind of patriarch to be so reasonable.
Of course, what surprised Rong Qi even more was that Han Ning had really given her his fatherâs number.
Twenty minutes later, Rong Qi received another call from Mr. Han. She happened to be near the university gate, receiving the red jujube and goji berry drink sent over by Ye Nanshen.
As Rong Qi turned around, she saw a middle-aged man dragging Han Ning into the university. Their eyes met, and Han Ning instantly looked embarrassed.
Rong Qi felt a bit awkward too. She was supposed to introduce herself as Miss Seven to them.
Mr. Han smiled first, releasing Han Ning, and said, âIs she a classmate of yours?â
Han Ning nodded coldly, his brows furrowing when he noticed the bandage on Rong Qiâs hand.
âThatâs good. Young lady, could you please supervise him and take him to the classroom? 1 still have matters to attend to and need to leave now.â
After saying that, Mr. Han warned Han Ning with a glare before turning to leave.
Judging by his pace, Mr. Han seemed to have important matters to attend to, not even having time for more words. Still, despite that, he had personally escorted Han Ning to university.
âAre you and Lu Qi alright?â Han Ning spoke up, his expression slightly complicated.
Rong Qi smiled lightly and said, âWeâre fine. But what about you? How did you know about what happened to me and Lu Qi?â
Han Ning pursed his lips, his face somewhat pale. After a moment of hesitation, he cautiously said, âIâm sorry. The people who kidnapped you and Lu Qi yesterday are from my dadâs men.â
âWhat?â Rong Qi was dumbfounded. She asked, âAre you serious?â
âYeah,â Han Ning nodded irritably. âBecause of that, I had a fight with my dad. Now his men are all under Mr. Yeâs control. Since Mr. Ye isnât letting them go, my dad probably went to see Mr. Ye.â
âThatâs⦠What does this have to do with you? Me and Lu Qi are both fine. You donât need to blame yourself. Since your dad is handling it, you donât have to worry. Iâm sure Mr. Ye isnât unreasonable.â
Han Ning fell silent, clearly not convinced. His frustration came from two sources: first, he didnât know how to face his classmates after this incident, and second, he was worried about his father.
Han Ning had told them not to get involved in this kind of business anymore, but they didnât listen. Now they were caught up with someone influential. He hoped they could settle it soon.
Watching Han Ningâs conflicted agony, Rong Qi sighed and said, âDonât worry, Iâll call Mr. Ye and ask him to release your friends. Letâs just consider this a misunderstanding.â
âRong Qi, what aboutâ¦â
âIâll be fine..â
