Qin Chuan’s gloomy eyes looked into the car again. When he saw Luo Xiuen’s resolute attitude, he knew that there was no possibility for any further discussion.

After Qin Chuan confirmed her attitude, he took a step back.

Although Qin Chuan was puzzled about Jian Yiling’s appearance, he knew that he was only a tutor that the Jian family had paid for.

Jian Yiling had no obligation to tell him about the relationship she had with the Huiling Medical Research Institution. He knew that he had no right to ask her any questions and ask her to help him with his mother’s situation.

After Luo Xiuen saw that Qin Chuan was no longer blocking her path, she stepped down on the accelerator. Once the car entered the gates of the institution, she didn’t have to deal with other people anymore. It didn’t matter what outsiders thought.

Once Luo Xiuen stopped the car, she got down first. She walked around to wait by the door of the passenger seat.

She was worried that Jian Yiling couldn’t get out.

However, she didn’t want to hurt Jian Yiling’s pride either.

Due to this reason, Luo Xiuen stood by the side of the vehicle to watch Jian Yiling. If Jian Yiling experienced any difficulties, she would carry her down.

However, Jian Yiling didn’t give Luo Xiuen the chance to carry her. She jumped off the car and landed firmly on the ground.

Although getting in the car was a little difficult, getting out wasn’t a big problem. She could just jump down.

When Cheng Yi heard voices outside, he knew that Luo Xiuen and Jian Yiling were back. He ran to the door to greet them.

There were also several old professors that came along with him. Professor Xu had also joined him.

Originally, most of them would be holed up in their own labs. They didn’t have a habit of hanging out together.

However, this morning, they had heard that Jian Yiling was coming to their institution. As a result, they stopped concentrating on their research for today. Together, they began to wait for Jian Yiling’s arrival.

As soon as Jian Yiling arrived, the old professors were all incredibly excited. It was as if they had just made a huge breakthrough in their research.

When Cheng Yi saw Luo Xiuen, he withdrew the words that he was about to say.

At first, he was meant to go and pick up Jian Yiling… However, Luo Xiuen had snatched the task away from him! She had thrown him over her shoulder…

As they entered the institution, the group of old professors surrounded Jian Yiling. They kept asking her questions.

The questions mainly focused on the scientific paper that Jian Yiling had just submitted for review.

Cheng Yi and Luo Xiuen had both gotten pushed aside.

The other young researchers in the institution could only watch from a distance.

Cheng Yi turned around and asked Luo Xiuen, “Sister En, there’s obviously an excess of the male gender in our institution. Now that we have a girl, shouldn’t you give us the opportunity to talk to her? Why are you fighting over her as well?”

Luo Xiuen didn’t like listening to Cheng Yi’s words. “What do you mean? I’ve always wanted a younger sister. However, my mother never gave birth to one. Every day at work, I have to face a group of old male professors. I want that to change.”

When Cheng Yi heard Luo Xiuen’s reply, he became quite curious. “Why did your mother decide not to have another child?”

“My mother said that I had already caused enough trouble. If she gave birth to another child like me, she would be worried that we’d break the roof over our heads. She didn’t want to sleep on the streets.”

“…” Ah… Luo Xiuen’s mother was smart…

It took an entire two hours for the crowd around Jian Yiling to disperse.

After the long wait, Cheng Yi brought Jian Yiling over to her office.

Every researcher in the institution had their own office.

Cheng Yi introduced the place to Jian Yiling, “This is your office. Your exclusive laboratory is currently empty. You need to fill in a list of equipment that you need. The institution will purchase and install them for you.”

Jian Yiling was very familiar with the current environment. It was no different from the institution that she had previously been in.
