Chapter 285: Bump Into

This man had a frightening stare, so, in the end, she decided to hang her head low and avoid his look.
Amid the suffocating anxiety, the elevator doors slowly parted open with a ding.
She looked up with great relief, as if she had just received amnesty, but once she saw the woman standing outside the elevator, her breath hitched as her heart sank. Subconsciously, she pushed the man away and awkwardly called out from the corner of her lips, “Aunt…”
Yun Shishi was somewhat embarrassed and felt unsettled as she wondered how much action her aunt had seen.
With fingers entangling from trepidation, she uneasily walked out of the elevator and reflexively looked up at Mu Yazhe for help. The man, though, simply rubbed his lips raffishly, gave her a penetrating look, and whispered to her ear, “I’ll wait for you over there.”
The man then turned around and strode off while checking his hand phone for the missed call earlier.
She was stunned.
What!
Did that man just walk away and leave her to deal with the mess alone?
As she was fumbling for an excuse in her head, she noticed her aunt watching the man’s leaving back. Shocked, Yun Lingru asked her niece, “Shishi, what were the two of you doing just then?!”
She could not possibly be mistaken!
In the instant when the elevator doors parted open, she caught sight of her niece, who was usually well-behaved, in an intimate embrace with that man!
Is he her boyfriend?
The man looked to be accomplished, and this led her to wonder if her niece was in an illicit affair with him!
Yun Shishi did not know what to tell her aunt. She bowed her head as her face flushed terribly. When Yun Lingru saw her guilty look, she became more suspicious.
“Shishi, do you have a boyfriend now?!”
“No!”
She firmly denied, yet her aunt would not let up and probed further, “Then, who is that man? What were you two doing inside the elevator just then?”
“He… I-I…” biting her lower lip, she stammered along for an explanation. Unable to tell the truth in the end, she eventually sipped her lips and spurted, “He… He is a professor from my university!”
“A professor from your university?”
Would a professor lock arms with his student in an elevator?!
She looked puzzled; her niece had always been a good girl and a bad liar. She stared her niece straight in the eyes and saw her panicky look, so she knew right away and without a doubt that the latter was lying!
“Shishi, I can’t believe you’ve learned to lie after you step into society to work! He’s your teacher? You may be able to fool your father but not me! Is he really your university professor? Don’t lie to your aunt!”
She did not know how to handle the bombardment from her aunt. Clenching her teeth, she maintained her story, “He… He is really a professor from my university; he is here in the hospital to visit Youyou today!”
“Are you still not going to tell me the truth?” Her aunt’s voice sank with apparent rage. She seemed to recall something and went on to ask coolly, “I’ve heard from your father that you did not return home in the past few days. Where did you go?” Quizzically pausing for a bit, she continued, “Are you out gallivanting with that man? Shishi, be honest with your aunt; are you under bad influence and up to no good?!”
Her face turned hotter with shame and anxiety at her aunt’s words. She held tightly on her lower lip flap and hurriedly found an excuse to get away, “Aunt, I have something on, so I must go now! I’ll explain this matter to you in the future!”
