Chapter 776: Chapter 724
Ye Xiu just couldn’t take that step herself; after all, the school was built single-handedly by her. It’s perfectly normal for her to want to return.
Of course, Bai Ye wasn’t saying that it was right for Ye Xiu to have agreed to give Bai Zhi that thing. He simply thought that Ye Xiu belonged on that stage.
Being a good teacher doesn’t necessarily an being a good mother; the sa logic applies, her not being a good mother doesn’t negate her being a good teacher.
“I…” Ye Xiu was still hesitant, fearful of others’ sighs or inquisitive gazes.
“Give it a try, without regrets. You are indeed in the wrong, but it’s Xingxing you owe, not them.”
Bai Ye’s words encouraged Ye Xiu, who was already tempted, to get ready and give it a try.
Indeed, the school was her gradual creation, her hard work. How could she possibly give it up?
In an instant, Ye Xiu’s mind beca clear, and she decided not to lose her nerve anymore; she needed to prepare for what ca next.
Ye Xiu even sent him back to his room directly; she needed to start preparing.
Bai Ye could only smile helplessly, not quite knowing what to say.
…
A new day dawned, and Bai Ye was busy. He had to carry food for Bai Da and then return to the school.
Bai Da, looking at the steaming food, didn’t know what to say.
“You don’t need to wear yourself out like this, Bai Ye. Don’t bring food for anymore, you’d better hurry to school.”
“It’s fine, Dad. I’ll go now and co back at noon to pick up so stuff.”
Bai Ye left swiftly; Bai Da’s gaze then turned to Ye Xiu at the door.
He never imagined that Ye Xiu would actually co to see him. He had thought that Ye Xiu might deny their relationship, or even claim that they didn’t know each other at all.
“Why are you here?”
Bai Da frowned, puzzled.
“I’m here to find Xingxing. Where is she?”
Ye Xiu’s expression grew urgent, looking at Bai Da with a sense of haste.
“She hasn’t woken up yet. What do you need?”
Bai Da didn’t think for a second that this was her usual outfit.
“I’m just concerned about her, Bai Da. Can we talk properly?”
Bai Da scowled, “Everything has been clearly settled; there’s no need to speak further.”
Ye Xiu thought she didn’t need any help but didn’t expect this ti things to go awry.
Because no one paid attention, no one watched.
Only now did Ye Xiu realize when she took matters into her own hands, that there were too many miscellaneous things. So she decided to hire soone.
Better to hire soone she knew than a stranger, certainly easier to manage.
“What’s your top salary? I’ll give you a raise.”
Ye Xiu was taken aback, montarily at a loss for words.
“Um, Ye Xiu, are you confused?”
Bai Da found her words sowhat off.
But Ye Xiu had no such notion.
“I’m not confused; I really want to try hard,”
She wanted to try again, to see if she could return to the school, to work hard for her dreams.
“Then work hard.”
Bai Da answered nonchalantly, to which she exploded as if set off.
“What do you an by that? Are you saying I’m too old?”
“No, you’re not wrong; it’s my fault.”
Bai Da didn’t want to say more; after all, admitting fault was his long-standing habit. But what did it have to do with being old?
“As long as you know. Are you leaving?”
Ye Xiu was already eager to leave.
She wanted to rush to the school. She’d even prepared a speech for it.
People at the school were surprised to see Ye Xiu. To them, it seed the sa as being detained or locked up.
“Ye Xiu, what are you doing here?”
They certainly didn’t have ti and hoped Ye Xiu could quickly finish what she had to say and leave.
“I’m here to teach students. I am still a teacher at our school, after all.”
Ye Xiu hadn’t co for a long ti and found that there were many new faces she didn’t recognize.
“Isn’t that inappropriate? We agreed that you’d just stay at ho, didn’t we?”
One of them spoke up, one of the current school directors.
Now, Ye Xiu seriously doubted their capabilities.
“Agreed? Did I make that agreent with you?”
Ye Xiu looked at the person she was partnering with. They used to collaborate, just the two of them, but now there seed to be several people involved.
“You said before that I could handle everything at the school. You were still in the detention center then,” the partner said aggressively.
“Can you please not be so rash and think about the reputation of our school? It’s been tough getting to where we are today. Do you really want to ruin it?”
“How am I ruining it? I’m here to help out at work,” said Ye Xiu, feeling a coldness in her heart…
Because they used to say we were like family, but now…
“And who are they?”
Even though they had hired teachers, they definitely hadn’t hired this many, and the previous teachers were nowhere to be seen.
“They are teachers, and they’re also the current directors of our school.”
The partner spoke as though it was the most natural thing, but Ye Xiu couldn’t understand, “By what right did you make these changes?”
“You said I could make the decisions.”
The partner was unafraid, as those had indeed been Ye Xiu’s words. But was that her original intention?
“Fine. Then tell , how much money did they put in? They couldn’t have contributed nothing…”
The partner fell silent, and Ye Xiu felt a cold chill, at a loss for words.
“Heh, expecting to earn money without contributing a cent, what a dream.”
“Ye Xiu, you can’t say that. They’ve been a big help.”
“Did you pay them a salary, then?”
“Of course, we did. Otherwise, who would co to work?”
The partner gave Ye Xiu a disdainful look, as if she were stupid.
Ye Xiu was furious. Luckily, this situation could still be discussed to determine the next steps.
“If you paid them, they’re employees. Why should they get a share? What have you actually done? I really shouldn’t have trusted you,” Ye Xiu exclaid with evident anger.
“No, no, let’s talk this out nicely.”
The partner had been in touch with Ye Xiu all along, and finally, she could start teaching again. But whether people would still appreciate her classes was another question.
Soone had leaked the news of her detention. Everyone ca rushing over, saying they wanted refunds because they wouldn’t let a reford criminal teach them.
Ye Xiu kept apologizing, and those who wanted to leave could do so. The large space was left with hardly any students.
There had been so many before, but now…
“Are you satisfied now?”
The partner ca over directly, accompanied by people and went straight to the school.
“Satisfied with what?” Ye Xiu was already in a bad mood.
“Look, there’s no one in the school because of you. Can’t you see that?”
Ye Xiu’s mouth twitched. Was this ant to deceive or cajole children?
“Mm, I see it.”
How could Ye Xiu not have noticed?
“Don’t you have anything to say? It’s all because of you. We have no students left now.”
Ye Xiu might have felt sorry at the beginning, but now, facing their accusatory gazes, she suddenly didn’t feel sorry at all.
