“Shuhui.” The middle-aged woman’s tone was warm with a trace of surprise.
“What a coincidence. Why did you co back to the academy?”
Lin Shuhui stopped in her tracks and sized up the middle-aged lady. “So it’s you, Yufeng. What a coincidence.”
Chen Yufeng nodded. “I’m here to accompany Rong Rong to sign up for the competition. Rong Rong, this is your Aunt Lin. Greet her.”
“Hello, Aunt Lin,” Ling Rong greeted, but she didn’t know Lin Shuhui.
Lin Shuhui’s gaze focused on her for a mont before slowly retracting. “Rong Rong has really grown up.”
“She’s already in her 20s. She’s a grown woman now. It’s rare for you to be back. Why don’t you co to our place for dinner?” Chen Yufeng invited. “We haven’t seen each other for so many years. We can have a good chat.”
“No, I still have sothing to do. I’ll visit next ti.” Lin Shuhui politely refused.
“Alright, let’s contact each other when the ti cos,” Chen Yufeng said. “I heard that you’re here to tutor Lu Ke and Xu Wangzhi?”
When Fan Dinghao and Ling Rong heard that she was here to tutor Lu Ke and Xu Wangzhi, they couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Lin Shuhui. Lin Shuhui was wearing a modified cheongsam and had a virtuous temperant. They could not tell anything else. She was not a teacher they knew nor rembered.
From the looks of it, Lin Shuhui seed to just be a nobody.
No wonder when Chen Yufeng ntioned her previously, she said that she was not important.
“I’m thankful that the academy extended an invitation to . I’m here to give the students so pointers.” Lin Shuhui nodded.
Chen Yufeng smiled and shook her head. “Thank you for coming all the way from the countryside. We’ve really disturbed you. I wonder what you’re planting in the fields now? Will this affect your daily life?”
Hearing this, Fan Dinghao and Ling Rong looked at each other.
Ling Rong rembered that there was a distant relative in her family who was from the countryside called Lin Shuhui. She had occasionally heard her parents ntion her na.
However, she had never seen her in person before. Besides, when her parents ntioned her na, they would occasionally quarrel behind her back. Hence, Ling Rong did not like this na and even felt a little disgusted.
In that case, Lin Shuhui probably wouldn’t be able to give Lu Ke and Xu Wangzhi any valuable guidance this ti, right?
“There’s nothing to be busy about in the countryside. It doesn’t matter if I co
back occasionally,” Lin Shuhui said calmly.
“But I’m really embarrassed. Originally, Brother Fan Yushu was the one tutoring Lu Ke and Xu Wangzhi. But I invited Brother Fan to tutor Rong Rong, which made him not have ti to tutor those two students. Won’t that cause you trouble?” Chen Yufeng said apologetically.
However, the aning behind her words was very rich. One could understand the different anings after thinking about it a few tis.
Lin Shuhui only listened to the superficial aning and said, “Rong Rong is also participating in the competition? That’s good.”
When she looked at Ling Rong, there was a hint of love in her eyes. Ling Rong felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, but she didn’t say anything.
“Rong Rong has won many awards in the country over the years and has a certain reputation in the industry. Now, she just lacks an international award. This ti, Rong Rong wants to win an award, so she asked Brother Fan to guide her,” Chen Yufeng explained. “I’m looking forward to her reaching a higher level.”
“Rong Rong can definitely do it,” Lin Shuhui said kindly.
“Yes, my daughter takes after .”
Although Ling Rong and Fan Dinghao did not know what was going on between the two of them, the sharpness of their words still made people feel like swords were flashing.
Lin Shuhui obviously didn’t want to talk anymore and said, “I still have sothing to do, so I’ll excuse myself first. See you next ti. Goodbye, Rong
Rong.”
She specially greeted Ling Rong, who waved at her gently. “Goodbye, Aunt Lin.”
When Qiao Weiyang walked over, she saw Lin Shuhui walking over.
“Aunt Lin!” Qiao Weiyang quickly walked forward.
“Weiyang, you’re here? Have you confird the information?” Lin Shuhui smiled.
“I’ve confird everything. I had so work to deal with just now and just got done with it. Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
The two of them walked forward together. Qiao Weiyang held Lin Shuhui’s arm.
Ling Rong, who was a distance away, said to her mother, “Mom, who’s Aunt
Lin? Why do I feel that she treats quite well…”
“She’s just an old friend from a long ti ago. She only carried you for a while when you were young. She doesn’t have a child herself, so it’s inevitable for her to show so love for other people’s children.”
“Oh. Then who’s that woman?” Ling Rong rembered hearing the staff mber call her Qiao Weiyang.
Chen Yufeng’s eyes flickered. “I think it’s Qiao Weiyang, the goddaughter she raised.”
“So it’s really Qiao Weiyang,” Ling Rong said in surprise. “Qiao Weiyang was raised by her?”
“Yes, Qiao Weiyang isn’t valued in the Qiao family. Years ago, she was sent to Lin Shuhui to raise. Lin Shuhui didn’t have a child herself, and he spent all her effort on Qiao Weiyang. But I don’t think she had that much love for Qiao
Weiyang. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to live in the countryside with Qiao Weiyang. What good children can you raise in the countryside?” Chen Yufeng’s tone was a little impolite.
Ling Rong thought so too.
Fan Yushu said, “I haven’t seen Shuhui for so many years. This ti, she ca back with the sa elegance.
“Life in the countryside is leisurely, so she hasn’t been tainted by the traces of ti.
“It’s a pity that the countryside has been separated from society and the tis for too long. It’s inevitable for her to be abandoned by the tis if she stays in that kind of place all year round. What was the principal thinking? He asked her to co back and guide Lu Ke and Xu Wangzhi?” Fan Yushu said while shaking his head.
Chen Yufeng did not say anything, but she agreed with Fan Yushu in her heart.
She had other concerns in her heart. If Lin Shuhui really interfered in her life now that she was back, it would be a little difficult.
Qiao Weiyang asked Lin Shuhui, “Aunt Lin, do you know the two contestants from just now?”
“Are you talking about Rong Rong and Fan Dinghao? I barely know them.”
“Rong Rong?” Qiao Weiyang accurately captured the intimate way she addressed Ling Rong.
In her impression, Lin Shuhui was very indifferent and had always maintained a good distance from others.
How could she call a woman she barely knew by her nickna?
Facing Qiao Weiyang’s doubts, she didn’t hide the truth. “She’s my friend’s daughter. I carried her when she was young and took care of her for a while. I do have so attachnt to her..”
