Old Madam Ye heaved a sigh.
The professor asked, "What relation do you have with the man you inquire about?"
Old Madam Ye remained silent for a long time, not knowing what to say. But recalling her husband's instructions, she gestured and said, "I am a distant relative of his."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the professor nod his head.
She suddenly asked, "Did my son… did Ye Qijun have a romantic relationship in college!"
Upon hearing this, the professor furrowed his brow, "Well, about that…"
Old Madam Ye got excited.
"He indeed had. At that time, he was the university 'heartthrob.' Everyone joked about him ending up with the 'university belle.' But I didn't see it happening. Moreover, Qijun was a commoner while the belle belonged to a prominent family in S city. It was impossible for them to end up together."
Back then, their relationship was kept a secret from everyone.
It was just like the professor's, a mismatch of status.
