Since it's his bad luck with women, let him deal with it himself!

Aunt Rong and her daughter were taken aback.

After Gui Xiang left, a short while later, Shen Zhi Yan walked in with Duan Wu.

Ye Hongying looked at Shen Zhiyan, who was as graceful and handsome as an orchid, and her heart pounded. She was instantly captivated and her eyes were glued to him, unable to look away.

This was the only man in her entire life who had ever made her heart flutter.

He was even more handsome and charming than the young master of the Chen family and the young master of the Bai family.

Ye Caiping raised an eyebrow: "They're here."

When Shen Zhiyan saw her, his eyes lit up with a smile. But when he saw that there were two other strangers in the room, he nodded slightly.

Ye Caiping glanced at Aunt Rong and her daughter: "The furniture is all ready, shall we go and pick it up now?"

"Then let's go."

The two were about to leave.

Aunt Rong looked at Shen Zhiyan, her lips pressed tightly together, feeling that this was a good opportunity.

But Ye Caiping had already seen through their intentions, so why was she still willing to call Shen Zhiyan over?

There must be a conspiracy!

Therefore, Aunt Rong dared not make a move.

But Ye Hongying couldn't hold back. What Ye Caiping had just said was an insult to her. All she wanted to do was go to class, but Ye Caiping couldn't stand her being ambitious and making up. That was wrong!

As a teacher, Mr. Shen must have taught without discrimination!

Feeling like she was being bullied, Ye Hongying blushed and said urgently, "Mr. Chen!"

Shen Zhiyan paused in his steps.

Aunt Rong felt something was amiss and wanted to stop her, but Ye Hongying continued speaking:

"I... my name is Hongying... I heard that Jin'er and Huan'er are taking classes at your house... I want to go too... I also want to study hard, learn how to be a good person, learn a skill, and acquire a expertise..."

"That's why I came here today specifically to ask Aunt Ping for help, hoping she can help me and let me study at the Shen family."

"But Aunt Ping disagrees. Could it be... that I'm really not good enough for her?"

As she spoke, Ye Hongying looked at Shen Zhiyan with eager eyes.

As a teacher, who doesn't like ambitious and studious students?

Moreover, she is a delicate and beautiful woman.

Seeing that her daughter had already said so much, Aunt Rong decided to go all out and wiped away non-existent tears:

"My daughter Hongying is simply ambitious and studious, yet some people say she doesn't deserve it..."

Ye Caiping rubbed her arms. Ouch! They actually started complaining about her!

Shen Zhiyan raised an eyebrow, his expression turning cold: "So, are you worthy?"

Ye Hongying and her daughter froze. What did he mean by that?

Faced with a studious and ambitious girl who is being bullied, shouldn't a highly respected teacher appreciate her, feel angry about her plight, and see through Ye Caiping's ugly face?

Oh right, that's...

Thinking it over, Ye Hongying looked up at Shen Zhiyan, her eyes full of courage and confidence:

"I deserve it! No matter what others say about me, I deserve it! No matter how vicious the words, they cannot defeat me!"

At this moment, he should look at her with admiration, as if to say, "What a confident and brave girl!"

But in reality—Shen Zhiyan: "No, you are not worthy."

Aunt Rong: "......"

Ye Hongying: "......"

Shen Zhiyan said, "Where did you come from? Do I know you? Why should I let you come to my house for lessons?"

Ye Hongying and her daughter's faces stiffened. Ye Hongying stammered, "Jin'er and Huan'er also have classes at your house..."

"so what?"

So what? Ye Hongying's face turned ashen, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment: "I...I want to go too..."

"Why should I let you go?" Shen Zhiyan's gaze was cold. "Although I am a teacher, my family does not run a school and does not accept students from outside."

"Also, young lady, you really need to study hard, at least learn some manners. Staring at unfamiliar men is extremely rude."

Ye Hongying's mind went blank for a second, and her face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

He... figured it out! And he even looked down on her!

Shen Zhiyan turned to look at Ye Caiping, the coldness in his eyes softening slightly: "Madam Ye, let's go."

"Mm." Ye Caiping suppressed her smile and walked out one after the other.

As the last of the Dragon Boat Festivals approached, he muttered to himself in a voice that everyone could hear:

"Tsk tsk, someone reported yesterday that a mother and daughter were using Madam Ye's name to request an audience. I don't know how many women with impure motives, who just want to get on top of my master, I encounter all year round! So many that I can tell what they're thinking at a glance!"

"They dare to use such paltry tricks. My master only speaks to them because of Madam Ye."

"What's ridiculous is that, with impure motives and no way to get in, they come here to beg for help. When others kindly advise them, they don't appreciate it and even try to smear Madam Ye by filing a complaint."

"A person who is full of bad intentions and cunning is not worthy! Don't let him offend my master's eyes."

Duanwu walked out while talking, and soon disappeared at the second gate.

Ye Hongying and her daughter felt another thunderous roar, their minds exploding, as if the sky was about to collapse.

Good heavens, what did they do? They only showed up yesterday, they have no idea about their conversation with Ye Caiping!

How could this lowly servant have guessed everything and uncovered all their little schemes after just a couple of glances?

The mother and daughter were too ashamed to stay there, so they turned around and ran away as if fleeing.
