The Substitute Bride: Indulged by the Obsessive CEO

The provost was in his fifties. His health deteriorated as he got older, and Professor Chen was his TCM physician who helped him regulate his body.
His health improved after drinking a few sachets of the medicine Professor Chen prescribed for him. Therefore, other than his academic admiration for Professor Chen, the provost also respected Professor Chen as his life savior.
When he heard Professor Chen say that he had something to tell him in a not very good tone, his expression became serious.
âWhat is it, Professor Chen?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI would like you to investigate something. My student has been reported for copying during exams because she got first place.â
The provost frowned. âIâve heard second-place students who copied during exams. Who can the first-place student copy from?â
Ms. Wanâs face turned red.
Ji Man still wanted to prove that she was right. She tried her luck by saying, âTang Beibei copied from books.â
The provost glared at Ji Man. âShe copied from books, but we didnât have any open-book exams. Ji Man, are you questioning the invigilators or the way the school is conducting exams?â
The provostâs face darkened as he looked outside the room and warned in a low voice, âTang Beibei almost always got first place and kept her scholarship since she enrolled here. Why havenât anyone reported her for cheating in the past?â âDid you open your heavenly eye and see her cheat? Or is there something wrong with your brain and you have delusions?â
Ji Manâs face turned red after being scolded by the provost. She wanted to say more but didnât dare to. She hung head in grievance.
Seeing her guilty look, the provost knew that she was not in the right.
Ji Man was pretending to be wronged because she could no longer defend her accusation.
âProfessor Chen, this must be a small conflict between students. Please donât be angry.â
âThis matter is no longer between students. Ms. Wan has been alerted, and she has even specially asked my student here to humiliate her!â Professor Chen snitched openly.
The provost looked at Ms. Wan and was so angry that his head hurt.
Ms. Wan had been restless when she was in the School of Management. She often had âmishapsâ and even received complaints from the students. He had transferred her to the TCM faculty on account of her connections. He did not expect her to be in trouble again in just a few days.
âMs. Wan, youâve been too muddle-headed!â
âYes, I was confused.â
Ms. Wan knew how to read the situation. She already realized that the provost was on Professor Chenâs side and quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake.
âWere you just confused? No, youâve been a b*stard, an idiot!â Professor Chen didnât give any face when he scolded people.
The provostâs expression was unsightly but he didnât dare to refute and stood there to be scolded together with Ms. Wan.
âI despise this kind of teacher even if she taught primary school! How can she be a teacher at a university? The first thing a university teacher must teach their students is how to be a good person. How can she do that when she herself is a terrible person?â
âProvost, is her idiocy contagious?â
âOr are you having an affair with her? You kept here at the university and support her with school money?â
âNo, no, Professor Chen. Please donât say that. How can I go home if word gets out?â
The provost was so anxious that he about to lift his leg and stomp Ms. Wan to death.
She was one bad apple that spoiled the bunch!
âTeacher Wan has indeed been a poor role model and bad teacher. Iâll give you two choices. Become a librarian and read more books to cultivate your character or resign. Iâll give you a monthâs severance pay.â
âProvost, Iâ¦â
âShut up. Nothing you say will make up for your stupid behavior. Professor Chen is here but he doesnât even have a cup of hot tea and thereâs broken glass all over the floor!â
âYou canât afford the compensation if this old man is hurt!â
Ms. Wan couldnât explain her pain. The broken glass all over the floor was caused by Professor Chen himself.
The provost looked at her, and the more he looked at her, the more disgusted he became. âHurry up and bring in some tea. You donât respect your elders at all. Professor Chen has already said so much. He must be thirsty now.â
Ms. Wan wanted to say something but held back. When she met the provostâs warning eyes, she admitted defeat and went out to get tea.
She walked out of the meeting room and saw a few strangers standing in the open office. She didnât think much about them and went to the pantry to get tea.
After sending his eyesore away, the provost smiled and comforted Professor Chen. âProfessor Chen, Iâm here to tell you good news.â
âGood news?â
âYeah, someone came to the university with a silk pennant.â
âHuh? Whatâs so good about another silk pennant?â
Professor Chen had been a doctor for years, and had received at least six hundred, if not eight hundred, silk pennants. He did not find the news interesting at all.
The provost shook his head and smiled. âThis pennant is not for you. Itâs for your student, Tang Beibei.â
Only then did Professor Chen look up at the provost. âFor Tang Beibei?â
âYes, Tang Beibei saved a certain Madam Wu in a mall. Madam Wu wanted to thank her savior and approached Jingdu TV to find her. She finally found Tang Beibei. Sheâs in better health now and wanted to thank Tang Beibei with this silk pennant.â
âReally?â Professor Chen looked at Tang Beibei.
It was indeed good news that his student had saved someone. He was also proud of his student.
Tang Beibei was dumbfounded.
She had saved Madam Wu, but she thought that it was just talk when the TV station said that Madam Wu wanted to give her a silk pennant. She did not expect her to actually send one to her university.
âOf course, itâs true. Madam Wu even specially left the hospital to visit Tang Beibei.â The provost said with a smile as he walked to the door.
âMadam Wu, please come in. Thereâs also a reporter here whoâs reporting on this matter.â
Madam Wu walked into the meeting room and saw Tang Beibei. She quickly walked up to her and said, âHello young miss, Iâve finally found you. Thank you for saving my life.â
âMadam Wu, are you feeling better?â
âYes. I feel much better now. Iâve been thinking about you all this while. I feel like youâre the little fairy I asked Guanyin for. So pretty.â
The first thing Madam Wu heard from Tang Beibei was Tang Beibei asking about her health. She was a kind and cute little girl and Madam Wu liked her from the bottom of her heart.
Tang Beibei was embarrassed by her words and smiled politely. She wasnât very good at socializing and didnât know how to talk to friendly people.
âLittle fairy, your name is Tang Beibei, right?â
Madam Wu repeated her name. âBeibei, you are indeed a precious treasure. You said you donât want money, so I got you a silk pennant. Hope you donât mind.â
âNo, no, Iâm very touched that you are here in person. You should be resting in the hospital.â
âMy heart problem has been going on for years. Coming out for a walk makes me feel better.â Madam Wu sighed and smiled as she took the silk pennant and gave it to Tang Beibei.
âMy mood has improved since I saw you here.â
The reporter immediately said, âStand closer together. Let me take a photo you together.â
Madam Wu hugged Tang Beibei for the photo. Tang Beibei was a little embarrassed and smiled unnaturally at the camera.
Her expression was very stiff.
When Tang Beibei lowered her head to look at the silk pennant, her stiff expression turned into one of laughter and tears.
The pennant said that she was Hua Tuo reincarnated, with magical healing hands!
She wouldnât dare to accept such a commendation.
However, it was difficult for her to reject even if she wanted to as Madam Wu forced the pennant into her hands. She could only awkwardly accept it.
Ji Man, who was still standing in the meeting room, heard that Tang Beibei had saved someoneâs life in a mall. She was only a sophomore who hadnât even done an internship at a hospital. She was clearly capable.
This was undoubtedly another few slaps in her face. Ji Man was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.
She turned to leave, but she heard the voice of a demon.
âJi Man, you made a false accusation and didnât apologize. If you want to drop out from school, the provost is here to approve your application!â Professor Chen had a bad temper, but he was extremely protective of the bullied.
How dare Ji Man bully his students? This was akin to bullying his children. Did she have no respect at all for their parent, i.e.. him?
