Gu Jingxing returned to the Li family villa.
The Li family's maids had cleaned the room, which had been in a mess, spotless. However, the broken vases and the old lady's favorite plants had been replaced with other substitutes.
He raised an eyebrow with a smile in his eyes and walked over to the potted plant that had been replaced with a violet. "Why does this thing look different?"
Butler Li was stunned for a few seconds. "Young Master, it was broken today by a clumsy maid!"
Butler Li dared not tell the truth, thinking that the young master was unaware that his robot had gone out of control.
Gu Jingxing didn't expose him. After having his fun, he prepared to take the elevator upstairs.
"Young Master..." Butler Li called out to him, "Your tutor has arrived and has been waiting in the study for quite some time. Just now, Miss Gu Shanshan was looking for you everywhere!"
Gu Jingxing frowned. It seemed that Li Zixiao was not attending kindergarten because of poor health, and Li Zhanting had specially hired a tutor to come to their home for lessons.
"Alright, I understand!" Gu Jingxing waved to Butler Li as he stepped into the elevator.
Although he hated reading and disliked being lectured, given Li Zixiao's easygoing and easygoing old-fashioned mentality, he probably never rebelled.
Now that you've changed your identity, you have to act convincingly.
So, after he got out of the elevator, he went to the study.
As luck would have it, he bumped into Gu Shanshan, who had been searching for him everywhere, right there in the corridor.
During this time, Gu Shanshan had completely become a servant at the Li family villa, and all the dirty and tiring work was assigned to her.
Upon seeing Gu Jingxing, she quickly pretended to be anxious and came to greet him, "Zixiao, where have you been? Auntie couldn't find you anywhere, and your tutor has been waiting for you for a long time."
Gu Jingxing glanced at her sideways, but didn't linger, and went straight into the study.
Gu Shanshan's ingratiating smile instantly froze on her lips. Fortunately, no one was around, and the servants didn't see the humiliation of being ignored.
Although she had successfully entered the Li family, she would need to put in even more effort to win over the two children and become Li Zhanting's woman.
In order to gain Li Zixiao and Li Qingling's approval as soon as possible, Gu Shanshan quickly composed herself and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the two children and Li Zhanting.
As Gu Jingxing entered the study, his tutor stood up with a smile to greet him. "Young Master, you've arrived? Are you alone today?"
He glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him. He had dark skin, a pointed mouth and monkey-like face, and eyes like a fox, looking both cunning and worldly.
Where did Li Zhanting find such an ugly man to be Li Zixiao's tutor?
Gu Jingxing didn't give the ugly man a single extra response. He climbed onto the chair on the desk and sat down properly.
However, the problems that followed quickly made Gu Jingxing realize that this tutor was not as simple as he thought.
"Young Master, I saw your calligraphy the day before yesterday. The brushstrokes weren't strong enough, and the strokes weren't elegant enough. Here are two hundred sheets of white paper and excerpts from the Classical Chinese Records. Copy them 50 times." The tutor took out a copy of the Records of the Grand Historian from his briefcase and threw it in front of Gu Jingxing.
The tutor gets angry whenever she sees this short-lived guy!
He was the president of the Kyoto Calligraphy Society, and his reputation in Kyoto was already well-known when he was young. If it weren't for the high price offered by Li Zhanting, would he be here teaching this dying man?
So what if his family is rich? He's still a short-lived bastard who's about to die!
Gu Jingxing was completely shocked by this two-faced tutor.
Copying from the Records of the Grand Historian? Or using a calligraphy brush?
Although he didn't like these literary things, he knew how difficult it was to write them.
Looking through the previous records, he discovered that Li Zixiao had never resisted once and had obediently copied them all down.
Is this guy out of his mind?
He frowned at the tutor, his words revealing a hint of dissatisfaction, "My dad paid you specifically to teach me, and this is how you teach me?"
The tutor was sitting on a soft chair, eating sunflower seeds, when the tutor angrily threw a piece of sunflower seed shell at her.
As luck would have it, it landed right on the white paper in front of Li Jingxing.
"Teach you? Do you think you're worthy? Every student I've taught is a top scholar. Your family just has a little money, but you really think you're something special? Besides, even if I were capable of teaching you, do you even have the life to learn?"
A master of Chinese studies of such high caliber should be teaching disciples who will be remembered in history, not short-lived ghosts like him!
Gu Jingxing's handsome face flushed with anger. "You're saying I don't have the life to learn?"
Seeing that Gu Jingxing dared to resist, the tutor became even more arrogant.
He poked Gu Jingxing on the forehead with a melon seed, his mouth full of stench, "Yeah, I was just talking about you, you short-lived wretch! No wonder your mother didn't want you, who would want a short-lived wretch like you? Living a few more years would just be a waste of the Li family's money. Asking me to teach you is a complete waste of my energy!"
Gu Jingxing's face turned extremely ugly. Judging from how skilled the tutor was, it was clearly not the first time.
Does Li Zixiao just let him bully him like this on a regular basis?
A sly glint flashed in his delicate eyes, and he smiled sweetly, "I know, teacher."
His obedient appearance surprised his tutor. Was it just his imagination?
Why did he just see the shadow of a little devil in this brat's eyes?
But thinking of Li Zixiao's previous forbearance, he immediately realized he was overthinking things, so he said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and copy it! Otherwise, when your dad comes back, I'll tell on you!"
