The Time-Limited Love and Marriage

CHAPTER 514: CHAPTER 514
On the other side, Jiang Moxi arrived at the Chinese Medicine College already late.
Professor Wang Zhongjin was quite dissatisfied with Jiang Moxi’s tardiness, "Even on the first day of school, you can be late. If your mind is not on studies, you might as well start working in a factory early!"
Today, Jiang Moxi was wearing overalls and a simple T-shirt, her hair casually tied into a bun. Except for her excessively beautiful face, she looked no different from the girl next door.
Such appearance of hers hardly hinted that she was the same princess who dazzled everyone at the charity dinner livestream, wearing a gown worth several hundred million.
Jiang Moxi did not take Professor Wang Zhongjin’s scoldings to heart because she indeed did not come to learn voluntarily, she was forced by Old Master Feng.
Seeing that Jiang Moxi did not argue back, Professor Wang Zhongjin added, "Today, Professor Fu Wangning from Yan City is giving a lecture in the auditorium. While there’s still some time, hurry over and listen."
Jiang Moxi was somewhat surprised, "Fu Wangning?"
Really, Jiang Moxi had never expected that Fu Wangning would come to the Chinese Medicine College for an academic exchange.
Is this what they call a small world?
But seeing Jiang Moxi’s puzzled expression, Professor Wang Zhongjin thought she didn’t recognize Fu Wangning and couldn’t help but criticize, "Yes, Professor Fu Wangning, currently the youngest female doctor in the field of traditional Chinese medicine!"
Professor Wang Zhongjin continued, "Look, she’s only a few years older than you and has already achieved so much. Now look at you... all you know is how to have fun; you don’t even recognize Professor Fu."
Jiang Moxi didn’t really care about what Professor Wang Zhongjin said. After all, she didn’t plan to establish herself in the field of traditional Chinese medicine; she was just there to pass the time and report back to Old Master Feng.
Jiang Moxi carried her textbook and walked out as if she was annoyed. Seeing this, Professor Wang Zhongjin was displeased and simply followed her, complaining,
"You, nothing sticks in your head, and if you learn nothing, you will regret it when you reach your forties or fifties without achieving anything..."
Under Professor Wang Zhongjin’s nagging, Jiang Moxi had no choice but to enter the auditorium to listen to Fu Wangning’s lecture.
Then, Jiang Moxi found that Fu Wangning standing on the podium didn’t seem so unpleasant.
Moreover, because of her relatively young age, she had more common language with the students. Throughout the lecture, numerous students actively participated in interactions...
After the lecture, Jiang Moxi actually absorbed some information.
When the lecture ended, Jiang Moxi picked up her backpack and was about to leave the auditorium.
At that moment, Fu Wangning was being surrounded by several students discussing questions. Jiang Moxi didn’t expect that Fu Wangning, in such a situation, would still notice her passing by.
But just as she walked past Fu Wangning, Fu Wangning’s voice came from behind, "Moxi?"
Jiang Moxi turned around and saw Fu Wangning frowning slightly at her.
"Are you here looking for me?" Asked Fu Wangning.
"No, my grandfather sent me here to learn."
Jiang Moxi actually felt it was unnecessary, as she never thought about making a career in medicine.
However, Jiang Moxi’s indifferent attitude made Fu Wangning feel that she was looking down on traditional Chinese medicine.
Thus, Fu Wangning said to Jiang Moxi, "Moxi, I know many socialites work hard to add labels to themselves to make themselves appear more valuable. Design might still be okay, but I suggest there’s no need in the field of traditional Chinese medicine."
Jiang Moxi pondered Fu Wangning’s words and realized that Fu Wangning thought she had no knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and was just sent by the Feng family to add a label.
Moreover, it’s not just about Chinese medicine, even her sudden public acknowledgment as designer X is seen by Fu Wangning as a label affixed by the Feng Family to boost her prestige.
However, Jiang Moxi couldn’t be bothered to explain these to Fu Wangning, merely stating, "If you can get the school to expel me, I’d be quite happy about it."
Fu Wangning felt that Jiang Moxi did care about these matters, but was only saying this to avoid embarrassment in front of her.
Hence, Fu Wangning continued persuading, "Actually, as long as Brother Han likes you enough, whether you’re immensely talented or utterly incompetent, he will always stay by your side."
Jiang Moxi instantly understood that Fu Wangning was mocking her, relying on her youth and beauty to gain Fu Youhan’s favor, fearing that her brain was too empty to keep Fu Youhan around, thus she tried hard to label herself, fearing ridicule.
Jiang Moxi actually quite disliked Fu Wangning’s presumptuous and condescending attitude.
Since she had already left Yan City and completely severed ties with the Jiang Family, Jiang Moxi didn’t think she would have any more interactions with Fu Wangning.
Therefore, regarding all those points Fu Wangning jabbed at, Jiang Moxi didn’t argue back, but targeted her vulnerabilities and stepped harder.
"I also think he must quite like me, otherwise he wouldn’t have left behind so many matters in Yan City just to stay with me in Emperor City."
As expected, at the mention of Fu Youhan liking Jiang Moxi, the humble smile on Fu Wangning’s face instantly disappeared without a trace.
She opened her mouth to say something more, but Jiang Moxi directly said, "It’s time for lunch, I’m going to the cafeteria first."
After speaking, Jiang Moxi walked out of the auditorium, and while passing by two students, she asked them for directions to the cafeteria, as if she really came to the school just to eat.
Fu Wangning watched Jiang Moxi’s receding figure, fuming inside.
Consequently, she made a trip to the Dean’s office of the Chinese Medicine College.
"Professor Fu, why do you look so upset? Did some students not show manners and offend you?"
The Dean, as usual, greeted Fu Wangning enthusiastically.
"Yes, there is indeed one such person. And I think someone like her, who joined halfway, would only waste time and resources even if she stayed at school," she said.
Wasn’t Jiang Moxi ranting about having her, Fu Wangning, expel her? Fu Wangning now planned to grant her wish.
Upon hearing Fu Wangning’s meaning, the Dean also knew what she wanted to do.
Actually, Fu Wangning’s achievements were quite impressive, and recently her research focus had shifted to tackling the cancer problem, reported to have made good progress.
Thus, many prestigious domestic institutions had invited Fu Wangning either to teach, engage in academic exchanges, or collaborate on research.
Yet among many offers from these schools, Fu Wangning chose their Chinese Medicine College, which the College felt honored by.
The Dean was even planning to retain the talent of Fu Wangning for the school.
Following Fu Wangning’s lead, the Dean said, "Which student is so blind? Professor Fu, give me her name, and I will immediately issue a school-wide reprimand and expel her."
If expelling a worthless student could retain a valuable resource like Professor Fu for the school, the Dean felt it was well worth it.
Fu Wangning, satisfied with the Dean’s attitude, directly stated, "Jiang Moxi, that’s the student’s name."
"Jiang Moxi?" The Dean was stunned for quite a while before asking Fu Wangning, "She has reported to the school? My God, where is she? Where?"
After his initial shock, the Dean was overjoyed, as if he was about to meet a long-admired idol, becoming somewhat incoherent with excitement.
Fu Wangning, watching the Dean’s reaction, couldn’t help but frown.
