Chapter 5 Juice with Added Spices
Lin Beibei looked through Ning Yuxuan's wrong answers and found something amiss.
It doesn't feel like they're infallible; it feels like they're deliberately making mistakes, especially on very simple questions.
Those difficult problems were actually solved correctly; if you were to say that the difficult problems were solved by guessing, it's impossible to guess so many correctly.
Just as she was about to speak, footsteps came from the doorway. The little girl's eyes darted around, and then she pinched her arm hard, falling backward in fear.
Seeing that she was about to fall, Lin Beibei quickly reached out to help her.
Gu Tingyun just happened to push the door open and come in at that moment.
In his eyes, it was as if Lin Beibei had pushed the little girl.
The little girl sat on the ground, covering her arm and sobbing, "Uncle, she hit me as soon as you left, and said that a stupid child like me is not worthy of her teaching. Uncle, please send her away."
Gu Tingyun's face instantly darkened.
"Teacher Lin, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
The little girl was immediately unhappy. In previous incidents like this, her uncle would not listen to those people's explanations and would simply chase them away. Why was she being asked to listen to this teacher's explanation this time?
Fearing that Lin Beibei might say something, the little girl burst into tears, trying to get Gu Tingyun to get rid of the teacher immediately.
Gu Tingyun simply looked at Lin Beibei, seemingly waiting for her explanation.
Lin Beibei stood up, took her phone from the table, and turned off the camera. "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, because it was my first time being a tutor, I found it very interesting and wanted to record the process. So, without your permission, I took a video. The video is right here. Mr. Gu can see for himself whether I made it or not."
Fortunately, Sister Xiangbei had asked her to record a video beforehand. Otherwise, without any evidence, everyone would have their own version of events, and even if the girl was at fault, people would naturally side with their niece.
Mr. Gu might be unhappy with her being the tutor and fire her, but she didn't want to be fired with such a reputation. It wouldn't sound good if a tutor were to be accused of abusing students; other tutors, though their salaries were lower, at least provided her with some income.
Lin Beibei's phone is very old; it was a second-hand phone, and it sometimes lags a lot.
However, recording a video is still no problem.
She held up her phone and handed it to Gu Tingyun.
This might mean losing the job, but it's better to leave with a bad reputation anyway.
During the few minutes Gu Tingyun was away, she was intently looking at the little girl's English test paper. It was Ning Yuxuan who pinched her own arm and then fell to the ground, slandering her.
They even recorded the little girl's harsh words.
Ning Yuxuan was surprised that Lin Beibei would record a video.
“You’re so despicable,” Ning Yuxuan said, pointing at Lin Beibei.
"I'm really sorry, I'll delete the video. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Lin Beibei picked up her things and prepared to leave.
"Where are you going?" Gu Tingyun asked.
“Go back to school,” Lin Beibei said.
Sister Xiangbei is right. You have to leave a trace of what you do, otherwise you won't be able to explain yourself when someone falsely accuses you.
Lin Beibei felt that she had to do this from now on.
She felt grateful to Xiang Bei in her heart.
Xiang Bei also sighed, realizing that she had also thought it was unnecessary; she had only learned her lesson after suffering a few losses.
She keeps all the evidence of her work and the handover of tasks with her colleagues, and saves it in a separate folder, just so that they won't shift the blame onto her.
It's all a story of blood and tears.
"Teacher Lin, your class isn't finished yet, are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"But……"
"Xuanxuan does have a bad temper, and Teacher Lin will have to take good care of her. Please don't use your phone to take pictures anymore, as I don't want to expose Xuanxuan's privacy."
Seeing Ning Yuxuan's smug look, Gu Tingyun added, "I will install surveillance cameras in her study, and I will watch them myself when I have time."
Ning Yuxuan still couldn't believe what she had just heard.
But she also knew that her uncle was a man of his word.
After he finished speaking, he had already instructed his assistant, Fang, to prepare to install surveillance cameras in her study.
Ning Yuxuan glared at Lin Beibei, not expecting this teacher to be so scheming and difficult to deal with.
Gu Tingyun went out again, and Lin Beibei had already finished reviewing the wrong questions.
Even though Ning Yuxuan disliked her, Lin Beibei still patiently asked her questions.
"No, I can't learn it no matter how you teach me. If you're so good, go ahead and complain to my uncle."
Lin Beibei looked at her, and a line of words appeared in front of her. She looked at the words and laughed, "Why do I need to complain? Your uncle will install surveillance cameras later, and he will see what you look like."
"Are you threatening me?"
“I’m just your tutor, how could I threaten you? But don’t forget, if your uncle sees the surveillance footage, and I taught you diligently but you didn’t, then it’s not my fault.”
Ning Yuxuan frowned and remained silent.
Lin Beibei pressed on, "Since you hate me so much, then hurry up and learn these questions. Once you've mastered them, I won't need to come over, and you won't need to see me."
Ning Yuxuan struggled with her thoughts for a moment, looked at the wrong answers, and muttered to herself, "I know how to do all of these questions."
"You're really amazing."
After being praised, Ning Yuxuan smirked, but when she saw that the person next to her was Lin Beibei, she changed to a sullen expression.
She did listen to some of what was said, at least she stopped crying and saying that Lin Beibei hit her.
Lin Beibei patiently explained some things to Ning Yuxuan, but the little girl spoke very rudely, "You're the teacher, why are you asking me questions? I already know everything, why would I need you to teach me? You're such an incompetent teacher."
"But if you don't tell me what I don't understand, I have to teach you from scratch."
When speaking to the little girl, Lin Beibei spoke in a very gentle tone.
She herself is very patient; even though Ning Yuxuan is obviously a naughty child, she can still greet her with a smile.
Xiang Bei was already impatient, lamenting that she had only ever met well-behaved children before, and never someone like this.
If she encountered a child like that when she was a tutor, she would rather not teach him; just watching him would make her extremely irritable.
So this money is really hard to come by. It's right that Lin Beibei gets a high salary for tutoring, and anything extra should be called compensation for emotional distress.
The girl is just too much of a troublemaker.
During the visit, the nanny also brought them some fruit.
Ning Yuxuan ran downstairs immediately, saying, "I don't want to drink this, I want to drink kiwi juice."
The nanny had no choice but to make her some kiwi juice.
After pouring two glasses, the little girl sent the nanny away, rummaged through the refrigerator, squeezed mustard into the glasses, and took the juice upstairs.
The little girl behaved very well, placing the kiwi juice in front of Lin Beibei. "Teacher, I've thought about it. I was wrong just now. I specially prepared this kiwi juice for you. Please forgive me. It's delicious, you should try it."
Lin Beibei looked at her, or more accurately, at the comments section in front of her.
Don't drink it, she added wasabi to the juice.
Lin Beibei didn't touch the juice, but looked at Ning Yuxuan instead, "Didn't you just say you wanted to drink kiwi juice? This cup of mine has more juice than yours, how about we switch?"
"don't want!"
Ning Yuxuan quickly said, "Teacher, I've already drunk from this cup, how can I let you drink my saliva?"
Lin Beibei smiled but didn't touch the glass of kiwi juice.
"Alright, we've eaten the fruit and drunk the juice, let's continue studying."
"But teacher, you haven't had your juice yet."
"The teacher is not thirsty."
Ning Yuxuan was a little unwilling, and after studying for two minutes, she asked Lin Beibei if she was thirsty.
The reply I received was that I wasn't thirsty.
After the course ended, Lin Beibei felt a sense of relief.
The child was uncooperative, making teaching quite difficult, but she successfully completed her task today; at least the child learned a lot.
Gu Tingyun came over when it was almost over.
"How's your learning going?"
He came over to check the exam paper, and suddenly they were very close.
The sudden envelopment of an unfamiliar male presence made Lin Beibei very uneasy.
And it was in such an ambiguous position, with her held in his arms.
Gu Tingyun, however, seemed oblivious, nodding as he looked at Ning Yuxuan's notes. "You did well today, Teacher Lin. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work," Lin Beibei said with a somewhat forced smile.
Gu Tingyun seemed completely unaware.
[Just give him the spiked kiwi juice; being handsome means he has no boundaries whatsoever.]
Without hesitation, Lin Beibei grabbed the kiwi juice from the table and handed it over, saying, "Mr. Gu, Xuanxuan poured this juice for me, but I'm not very thirsty. It would be a waste if I didn't drink it, so why don't you drink it?"
Gu Tingyun looked at Lin Beibei with a half-smile.
Ning Yuxuan, however, stared wide-eyed and said, "Uncle, you can't drink it."
Seeing that Gu Tingyun was about to pick her up, Ning Yuxuan quickly shouted, "Uncle, she's lying to you. She drank it. She's trying to trick you into drinking her saliva."
"Really? Then I'm honored." When Gu Tingyun took the cup, his fingers touched Lin Beibei's hand.
Lin Beibei saw him take the cup and quickly withdrew her hand.
It was my first time doing something wrong, and I was a little nervous.
Gu Tingyun looked at Lin Beibei, then picked up the cup and drank it.
As soon as he swallowed the first mouthful, Gu Tingyun's expression changed, and he spat out the kiwi juice in his mouth.
What's in here?
Lin Beibei looked helpless. She whispered, "I don't know what's inside?"
Gu Tingyun looked at Ning Yuxuan, his brows furrowed.
It was Lin Beibei's first day here, and besides, it was impossible for her to make the juice herself; she wouldn't have a chance to put anything in it.
Not wanting to suspect his niece, he called over the family's nanny.
"It's just kiwi, juiced like before. Xuanxuan told me to go ahead and do my work, saying she would bring the juice to Teacher Lin."
Ning Yuxuan never expected to be defeated by Teacher Lin one after another today.
She gets scared when her uncle is angry.
"Uncle, I didn't mean it. I just wanted to mess with her, but she didn't even drink it. Tell me, did you already know I put wasabi in it? Otherwise, why didn't you drink it?" Ning Yuxuan questioned Lin Beibei anxiously.
"I don't like drinking this, and I didn't know there was something in it. I just didn't want to waste it. I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, it's all my fault. I think I'll just not come tomorrow," Lin Beibei said, her head down.
Gu Tingyun put down the cup in his hand.
"Aunt Chen, clean this place up."
"Yes, Mr. Gu." Chen Ma hurriedly went to get the things to clean.
Gu Tingyun still had the taste of wasabi in his mouth, but he softened his tone when speaking to Lin Beibei, "No need, Teacher Lin, just come over at this time tomorrow, and I'll have Assistant Fang pick you up."
Lin Beibei looked at the words in front of her and read them aloud, "But if the child is too averse to me as her teacher, it will be very detrimental to her learning."
"It's alright. We were too lenient with her before. Please continue to teach her, Teacher Lin. I'm truly sorry about what happened today. I'll pay three times the tuition fee as an apology to Teacher Lin."
