Su Jin was speechless when she heard this. The teacher was trying to trick her! It’s pointless trying to tutor these students. They weren’t smart to begin with. Everything would go in one ear and out the other. It was impossible for them to learn, so there was no way they’d be overnight sensations!
Su Jin frowned and said, “Teacher, I can’t lend them my brain!”
The teacher ignored Su Jin’s protestation. These students might pay more attention if Su Jin tutored them because of the money. Even if they couldn’t retain everything, they would still remember something. That would still translate to some improvement in their grades.
The teacher patted Su Jin on the shoulder and said, “This teacher has run out of ideas. You are their teacher now, so you must think of a way to improve their grades!”
When Su Jin heard this, she knew that her teacher was going to be completely hands-off. However, these brats were all welchers, swindlers who refused to repay their wager. Although some of them had paid Su Jin, they did so reluctantly because they still disapproved of her. How could Su Jin make them listen to her? Was she supposed to use her fists?
The teacher didn’t give Su Jin any chance to refute. In any case, it was best of these students’ grades improved. He could turn a blind eye to how it’s done. Su Jin couldn’t really do anything to them anyway.
The teacher said solemnly to the class, “Students, there’s going to be an exam soon. I really hope to see a miracle. Learn from Miss Su and study hard!”
Except for Pang Lili and Zhang De, all the students glared angrily at Su Jin when they heard this. They didn’t need to study hard at all, and Su Jin wasn’t going to make them pass the exam.
The teacher didn’t seem to notice the displeasure and disapproval the students felt towards Su Jin. Instead, he turned his head and said to Su Jin, “The matter is settled then. Su Jin, have a good think after school today about how you’d improve their grades!”
Everyone was speechless. Obviously, no one agreed, but the teacher forced them to settle? Su Jin looked for Zhang De when school ended. Her main goal tonight was to go to Zhang De’s house and find out about her mother. She also wanted to see what was going on with her mother.
Su Jin said to Zhang De, “Zhang De, do you still remember what we talked about today?”
Zhang De lowered his head to calm his emotions. Every time he faced Su Jin, he felt guilty and felt like crying. Fortunately, Su Jin didn’t know that, and he had no plans to say anything. He would tell Su Jin everything when things settled down.
After calming himself, Zhang De replied plainly, “I do!”
Zhang De realized that Su Jin looked like their mother while he didn’t. He probably looked more like their father. He must treat Su Jin to a good meal when she followed him home tonight, to make up for the way he had treated her.
Zhang De stood up and said, “The chauffeur is already waiting outside. Let’s go!”
Zhang De then grabbed Su Jin’s wrist to walk out. Su Jin did not have time to react and let him hold her wrist while they walked out together. The moment they walked out of the school date, Su Jin felt a sharp gaze on her. Su Jin looked up and saw Xi Chenxiao’s cold face.
Su Jin instinctively waved at Xi Chenxiao with her other hand as she called out, “Boss Xi!”
Su Jin was also confused. Had the devil been less busy lately? He often picked her from school. Could he have settled everything at work? Xi Chenxiao’s cold gaze was like a sharp dagger as he looked at Zhang De’s hand holding Su Jin’s wrist. Zhang De also felt the coldness. When he looked up, he saw the devil-like Xi Chenxiao and quickly let go of Su Jin’s wrist.
“You were walking so slowly just now, and I had to pull you along!”
The corners of Su Jin’s mouth twitched when she heard this. What’s Zhang De talking about? What did he mean by her walking so slowly? He did not give her a chance to walk at all when he just grabbed her wrist and led her out. Moreover, she was not walking slowly at all.
Su Jin looked at Zhang De unhappily and said, “What do you mean I walked so slowly? How tall are you? And how tall am I? How can my short legs walk so fast?”
