SYLM Chapter 47
by VolareChapter 47 “I’ll wait for you to come back and teach me English questions.”
Chapter 47 “I’ll wait for you to come back and teach me English questions.”
Don’t you dare wrong me.
Every word was forceful and resounding.
As soon as she finished speaking, as if realizing something, everyone’s gaze, along with Fu Yi Wen’s direct stare, landed on Sun Li Xia.
Seeing everyone staring at her, a hint of panic that was difficult for others to detect flashed in Sun Li Xia’s eyes. She looked down at her lambskin shoes, cleared her throat twice, and changed the subject:
“I’ll go back to the office to get her a test paper.”
“Wait a minute.”
Tang Ying stopped Sun Li Xia, who was about to turn around and leave, her gaze cold:
“It’s okay to do the test paper, and it’s okay to check the surveillance, but there’s a condition: I demand that Sun Li Xia apologize to Fu Yi Wen in front of everyone afterward.”
Tang Ying’s voice fell in her ears, cold and piercing. Eyeing each other, Sun Li Xia forced a calm look:
“The surveillance hasn’t been watched yet, the test paper hasn’t been done yet, and the matter hasn’t been investigated clearly. Teacher Tang is saying these things too early. What if it’s really found out to be plagiarism—”
“There’s no such ‘what if.’ Fu Yi Wen could never plagiarize.”
Tang Ying stared fixedly at Sun Li Xia, her deep black eyes engraved with horrifying coldness and sharpness:
“I only have this one request. Are you saying you agree or disagree?”
“…”
Perhaps feeling that Tang Ying’s request was excessive, or perhaps not confident in her so-called “plagiarism” viewpoint, Sun Li Xia didn’t respond immediately.
The office fell into a deathly silence.
The matter seemed to be at an impasse.
Thinking that Sun Li Xia’s husband worked in the Education Bureau, Fu Yi Wen was worried that Tang Ying would offend some bigwigs above because of her and end up losing her job. As the person involved, she was just about to open her mouth to compromise, but was noticed by Gu Wan Jun next to her, who directly held her shoulder to stop her.
Gu Wan Jun and Tang Ying were in agreement on the point of Tang Ying demanding an apology from Sun Li Xia.
Even if the sky falls, the two of them, as teachers, will bear it. In short, no matter what, they will never compromise on this issue.
…
Seeing that Sun Li Xia was like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water and just wouldn’t speak, Tang Ying, whose patience was zero, directly turned her impatient gaze to Xu Rong Feng in the office chair and said coldly:
“I remember that our school is going to build a stepped classroom recently, and we’ll also need to lay a plastic runway and renovate the desks, chairs, and surveillance equipment in three teaching buildings. It seems like this money isn’t coming from the school, right?”
“…”
Tang Ying got straight to the point with one sentence.
Sun Li Xia, who was facing Tang Ying, had disdain as her first reaction after hearing these words.
There has to be a limit to boasting. Those projects that Tang Ying just mentioned cost at least ten million. Even the richest person in this small county of Ningcheng doesn’t have that much money. Even if Tang Ying is really the “rich second generation” that other teachers talk about, at most she just has a little money to play around with and can’t possibly take out that much money.
After all, if Tang Ying really had such a background, why would she come to this broken school to be a teacher?
A rich girl experiencing life?
Thinking she’s filming a movie? How funny.
Sun Li Xia confirmed her guess that Tang Ying was putting on an act and talking big in her heart.
She didn’t take Tang Ying’s determined look seriously.
Even more, she didn’t notice that behind her, whether it was Lv Jiang Hong or Xu Rong Feng, their faces changed again and again after hearing Tang Ying’s words, which were either a “reminder” or a “warning.”
Until a few seconds later, Xu Rong Feng’s heavy voice suddenly sounded in the office—
“Teacher Sun, Teacher Tang’s request isn’t excessive. If we teachers really misunderstood the student, it’s only right to apologize to the student.”
“…”
The calm expression instantly froze on her face. Sun Li Xia turned her head in disbelief, just in time to meet Xu Rong Feng’s serious and dignified gaze.
“Principal Xu, you—”
“There’s no need to say anything else. If you’re really wrong, admit your mistake and correct it. Set an example for the students and lead by virtue. I’m willing to do this, Teacher Sun. I hope you can do the same.”
“…”
——
Two minutes later, Sun Li Xia agreed to Tang Ying’s request.
Sun Li Xia went back to the Arts and Sciences office to get a set of political science test papers. 80% of the questions in it were from the content of this monthly exam, and the remaining 20% were questions that she had re-written herself after reporting the plagiarism problem to Lv Jiang Hong yesterday.
Tang Ying noticed that there were new questions and immediately shot a glare at her.
Sun Li Xia, who was about to be gouged into a sieve, said that if Fu Yi Wen really had the ability to answer the monthly exam questions well, then these few questions would definitely not be a problem either.
After all, if they were all old questions, there might be a situation where she memorized the answers. Only if she could answer the new questions well could it prove that Fu Yi Wen’s ability had really improved, and not that she had plagiarized.
Hearing this, Tang Ying’s anger rose immediately. She was just about to open her mouth to satirize her when she was suddenly tugged at the sleeve and shaken.
Turning her head to look, Fu Yi Wen, whose nose was red from crying, looked at her with a firm gaze and said, word by word, “Teacher, I can do it.”
——
In the following time, Fu Yi Wen was alone at the windowsill answering the political science test paper.
The other five people used the computer to pull up the surveillance video of the exam room where Fu Yi Wen was on the day of the political science exam, and carefully checked it frame by frame.
Sun Li Xia pulled the progress bar back from time to time, repeatedly checking some pictures that had no problems at all. Tang Ying, who was also seriously watching the surveillance video, couldn’t bear it at all, and the sarcastic words came out of her mouth:
“Anyone with eyes can tell that there’s no problem after looking at it once. If Teacher Sun has something wrong with her eyes, she should go get it treated earlier, so it doesn’t delay things.”
“…”
If it weren’t for Gu Wan Jun pulling her aside, wanting to resolve the matter as soon as possible so that Fu Yi Wen could return to class, Tang Ying would have been able to say even more unpleasant things.
——
An hour later, Fu Yi Wen finished the test paper.
——
Another hour passed, and even though they had pulled the progress bar back many times, Fu Yi Wen in the surveillance video had been seriously answering the questions from beginning to end, and no abnormalities were found.
The surveillance video ended, and Tang Ying’s glare flew to Sun Li Xia at the first moment:
“What do you say now?”
“I haven’t seen the answers yet.”
Sun Li Xia avoided eye contact, saying this while reaching out to take the answer sheet from Fu Yi Wen’s hand. But the next second, she saw Fu Yi Wen directly send the answer sheet filled with her writing into Tang Ying’s hands.
The answer sheet was very light in weight, but very heavy in meaning.
At the moment of receiving the answer sheet, a clear shock flashed in Tang Ying’s eyes, but when she saw Fu Yi Wen’s serious expression, she immediately understood and turned to look at Sun Li Xia, whose hand had fallen empty, and raised her eyebrows triumphantly:
“There’s more than one political science teacher in this office. I’ll grade my student’s test paper myself. You guys watch. If there’s a problem, say something and bring the matter to the table. Don’t do those shady things underneath.”
“…”
…
A test paper with a high accuracy rate is extremely easy to grade.
All the multiple-choice questions were correct, and 60 points were in hand.
Looking at the essay questions, 80% of them were points to be scored. As the red pen crossed the paper, Tang Ying hadn’t finished sighing in her heart that the little chubby girl’s cockroach-crawling writing had greatly improved, and the calligraphy practice hadn’t been in vain.
Tang Ying’s grading process was witnessed by everyone. Five minutes later, the number 93 was written largely in the score column of the answer sheet.
Tang Ying capped the pen and turned her head to scan the people around her at the first moment:
“Everyone saw it, right? How is it? Any objections?”
The line of sight symbolically turned around twice, and finally accurately fixed on Sun Li Xia’s face. Tang Ying ground her back teeth and opened her mouth with ice:
“Apologize.”
“…”
——
The whole thing ended with Sun Li Xia apologizing to Fu Yi Wen.
Originally, according to Tang Ying’s personality, she would have made Sun Li Xia apologize to Fu Yi Wen in front of all the teachers and students before this matter could be considered over.
Xu Rong Feng and Lv Jiang Hong took turns trying to persuade her, but no one could persuade her.
Until Gu Wan Jun leaned close to Tang Ying’s ear and seriously analyzed with her that she had already vented her anger, so it was almost enough. Making a big fuss would not be conducive to Fu Yi Wen getting along with other teachers and students.
Hearing that, Tang Ying thought it made sense. Now that things had reached this point, Sun Li Xia should understand what she should do in the future if she had any self-awareness. Continuing to argue would only hurt Fu Yi Wen.
Forget it, it wasn’t like she had to make things difficult for anyone. The truth was revealed, and she had vented her anger. This trip to the school wasn’t in vain.
——
After the matter was resolved, the third class was almost over.
Tang Ying was the first to come out of the office. Looking at the time, she turned on her phone while saying goodbye to Gu Wan Jun, who came out behind her.
“I’m leaving. Text me if anything happens.”
“Okay, be careful on the road.”
“Always saying useless things, nagging.”
Tang Ying had a disgusted expression on her face, but she was very happy in her heart.
Seeing this, Gu Wan Jun smiled and followed the other party’s words:
“Okay, okay, I’m nagging, I’m nagging, okay? Then let me nag you again, thank you for today.”
“Thank you for what? Don’t put on a show with me.”
Tang Ying frowned slightly. As soon as the phone in her hand was turned on, it rang non-stop. She hung up without even looking.
Seeing that this person was about to leave, Gu Wan Jun seized the opportunity to ask a question:
“By the way, how did you know?”
“What’s wrong? If you don’t tell me, I can’t know? I have connections.”
Tang Ying raised her eyebrows. The next second, the phone in her hand rang inappropriately for the nth time.
Impatience was written on her face, and Tang Ying hung up again with a cold face.
“I’ll talk about things later. I’m leaving.”
“Okay.”
Gu Wan Jun watched Tang Ying go downstairs. The matter was resolved, and the big stone that had been weighing on Gu Wan Jun’s heart since last night was finally put down.
It’s just that after what happened just now, she had many more question marks about this new friend, and she didn’t know if there would be a chance to figure them out later.
Fu Yi Wen, who came out behind Gu Wan Jun, heard the conversation between the two, but she still hadn’t figured out how to word it.
Until she saw Tang Ying go downstairs directly after saying a few words, Fu Yi Wen, who still hadn’t figured out what to say, was really anxious.
“Teacher, can I… can I…”
Fu Yi Wen stuttered. This sentence was obviously asking Gu Wan Jun, but her eyes had been fixed on the stairs Tang Ying had left.
She previously thought that Fu Yi Wen might not want to talk to anyone because she was too sad, but looking at her longing look…
“Anyway, the third class can’t be held anymore. There are still five minutes before class is over. If you have something to do, go quickly. Don’t delay the fourth class.”
“Okay! Thank you, teacher!”
Fu Yi Wen nodded frantically, almost kowtowing to Gu Wan Jun on the spot. After saying that, she ran downstairs!
——
After Fu Yi Wen left, Gu Wan Jun went upstairs back to the office.
As soon as she left, Sun Li Xia and Lv Jiang Hong came out of the principal’s office.
Completely different from the state when they said they were going to find the principal during morning self-study, Sun Li Xia, who came out of the office, could no longer put on that calm look.
After coming out, Sun Li Xia asked the question that had been suffocating in her heart at the first moment:
“Principal Lv, what do that Teacher Tang’s parents do?”
“I’m not very clear about this either. It’s not written in her information, but I heard that her father is in business and is a director of a large group.” Lv Jiang Hong recalled carefully.
“So those projects she just mentioned are really donated by her family?”
“Yes, that’s true, but it’s still in the initial stages, so I don’t know much about it.”
Lv Jiang Hong adjusted his reading glasses and looked around before daring to lower his voice and say:
“Actually, it’s not scary to have money, the main thing is to be afraid of having power. I heard that Teacher Tang’s mother seems to be in politics, but I don’t know the specific position, but it seems to be at the deputy department level.”
“…”
Lv Jiang Hong’s words stunned Sun Li Xia.
A family that occupies both politics and business, who can afford to provoke them?
No wonder Tang Ying is so arrogant.
But why would someone with this kind of background come to a school in a small county to be a teacher?
——
Second-year teaching building.
The phone call that had been made countless times was finally connected.
However, before the person on the other end of the phone could speak, Tang Ying, who had just put the phone to her ear, suddenly heard a noise behind her. Turning around, she saw that it was Fu Yi Wen who had chased her out. The phone call that had just been connected was instantly hung up.
Tang Ying stopped, looking at Fu Yi Wen running in front of her with a slight frown:
“You’re not going back to class. What are you doing following me?”
“…”
The person who chased after her was breathing fast. Meeting those sharp and beautiful eyes, a word of thanks couldn’t express Fu Yi Wen’s current mood, but she didn’t know what to say either. In the end, she only squeezed out a sentence:
“Are you coming back tomorrow?”
“Nonsense, where else would I go if I didn’t come back.”
Tang Ying responded subconsciously, but soon, realizing that she and this little chubby girl seemed to have not made up after their last fight, Tang Ying crossed her arms in front of her chest, her gaze sharp:
“Who told you to mind my business? What does it matter to you whether I come back or not?”
“I’m waiting for you to come back and teach me English questions.”
“…”
The sudden straight ball caught Tang Ying off guard. She avoided Fu Yi Wen’s direct gaze, not leaving any room for her words:
“Who wants to teach you? Do you think you’re a treasure?”
“You’re a treasure, and I want you to teach me.”
“…”
Although this could be considered a compliment, Tang Ying still felt choked. She rolled her eyes and said unkindly:
“People like me who are narrow-minded, others get annoyed just looking at me. Isn’t that what you said?”
“I was wrong, terribly wrong. If it weren’t for you tutoring me, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to get over seventy on this English exam. You’re a big person who doesn’t remember the faults of a small person. Forgive me, I’ll never say anything nonsense again, I’m sorry!”
Fu Yi Wen bowed to Tang Ying frantically as she spoke, making Tang Ying move backward silently with a cold face.
The person who had always been against her suddenly became well-behaved and soft.
Between accepting and not accepting, Tang Ying chose to doubt.
She suspected that this little chubby girl had been stimulated by that old green tea Sun Li Xia and had become dizzy.
Tang Ying prided herself on not being a soft-hearted person. If it were normal times, she would have satirized Fu Yi Wen properly to relieve her anger.
But it had to be said that this little chubby girl was indeed a little miserable this time, and she could only “reluctantly” give her a break.
“Okay, okay, stop bowing, your brains are going to be shaken up.”
Tang Ying had a disgusted expression, but she was very honest in following the topic and continuing:
“You did a passable job on this English exam, but it’s far from what I asked for. I’ve never seen such a slow learner as you.”
“Huh? How could that be? Actually, it’s not bad, I feel like I’m pretty—”
Fu Yi Wen was just about to defend herself when Tang Ying suddenly shot a glare at her, and she immediately shut her mouth and stopped talking.
“Okay, hurry up and go back to class. I’m coming back tomorrow to check five readings on you. If you don’t finish them, you’re dead.”
“…”
——
School gate.
The black Bentley had been waiting for a long time. Tang Ying, who came out of the school, opened the door and got into the car.
“Why did you drive this car here? Are you afraid that people won’t gossip about me?”
Tang Ying’s tone was cold. As soon as she finished speaking, the driver in the driver’s seat immediately apologized:
“I’m sorry, Miss. Madam said this morning to let me come pick you up directly, so—”
“Okay, stop dawdling and drive.”
“By the way, Mr. Jiang called you many times, Miss, but you didn’t answer. Later, Madam called me and asked about your situation…” The driver secretly observed Tang Ying’s face in the back seat, his voice gradually becoming smaller.
“Tell him to wait. I already said that I have something to deal with first, but he keeps calling like he’s trying to kill me, as if he doesn’t understand human language.”
“…Okay, then what did Miss come to school to deal with? Is the matter resolved?”
The driver’s expression was tense. He was obviously asking this question with a stiff upper lip.
As soon as he finished speaking, impatience was written on Tang Ying’s face, and she said directly:
“If my mom wants to know anything, let her ask me herself. Drive.”
“…”
The words that had been instructed to ask were asked, and his life was also saved.
The burly driver secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fastened his seat belt, and started the Bentley.
