Chapter 1042: It Takes So Long to Pick Someone Up? Slim Waist Control followed behind her and was still nagging. “What is it? You still want me to see someone? Can’t you just tell me directly?”

He rambled on, but his movements were very agile as he followed behind the girl and entered the teahouse on the first floor.

…

In the teahouse.

Tian Jing had already finished a cup of coffee and was standing up uneasily. She crossed her arms and said coldly, “Principal, why isn’t that freshman back yet?”

She had never called Qiao Nian by her name, mainly because she disdained to remember it.

Liang Conglin couldn’t be bothered by her hostile attitude. He kept looking in the direction of the door and frowned slightly. “Wait a little longer.”

Tian Jing raised her wrist and looked at her watch. Her expression became even uglier. “It’s been 20 minutes. She’s just going to pick someone up, not look for someone. Why would she take so long?”

Liang Conglin did not say anything.

It was mainly because Tian Jing’s hostile attitude was too obvious. He didn’t want to be too direct in front of the other three professors and embarrass her.

Logically speaking, Qiao Nian was the King Freshman. As a professor of Qing University, Tian Jing could be considered her teacher, regardless of whether she taught at the Chinese Medicine Faculty or not.

What kind of teacher would treat their students like enemies?

Seeing that Liang Conglin was no longer willing to pay attention to Tian Jing, a professor from the Physics Department stood up to smooth things over. “Alright, Professor Tian. Didn’t Qiao Nian only go out for about 10 minutes? It’s not too long. She’s probably waiting for her friend to come down. Don’t be anxious. Wait a little longer. If she’s not back yet, we’ll go out and look for her.”

minutes was indeed not too long.

But now, every minute and second was extremely important to them.

Tian Jing waved her hand in frustration and snorted. “I knew it. Bringing a new student will only cause us trouble! It’s bad enough that she can’t help, but we still have to send someone to look for her later… I knew she wouldn’t have any friends who can help us send the information!”

Liang Conglin did not look good. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was clearly forbearing. His upbringing and manners allowed him to restrain himself from arguing with others.

However, if Tian Jing continued to make sarcastic remarks, it would be hard to say.

The professor from the Physics Department who was trying to mediate things could also see that his patience was reaching its limit. He quickly pulled the unforgiving Tian Jing aside and said helplessly, “Professor Tian, enough. I also want to help us. My intentions are good.”

Tian Jing still wanted to say something.

The other party tugged at her again, indicating for her to have a look at the principal’s expression.

Tian Jing was focused on research and was direct in the ways of the world. Her personality had always been strange and difficult to get along with, but it did not mean that she was a fool.

Her companion had already hinted at her so clearly. Although she still had a stomach full of complaints about Qiao Nian, she could only endure it. However, there was still anger in her that she could not vent. She pulled a long face and turned her head away. She crossed her arms and remained silent.

She wasn’t wrong!

If she couldn’t help, then so be it. There were so many professors here, and no one wanted her to help. She volunteered herself and insisted that she had a friend. In the end, she went out to pick someone up for a long time and didn’t come back herself. She even troubled everyone to look for her…

Who could stand such a thing?

Wasn’t this adding to the chaos?!

She felt frustrated. She waved her hand and stood rooted to the ground, thinking. Then, she picked up her cell phone and put it down again. She wanted to call her friend, but she felt that asking Liang Lu and Jiang Xianrou for help at this time was equivalent to helping Qiao Nian out. She hesitated for a moment before putting her cell phone back.
