Chapter 219 Learning Progress
Wang Yimo smiled as she spoke. Originally, when Lin Yilan had suggested taking a break, she had wanted to trick her into letting her stay overnight, but Lin Yilan hadn't considered that at all. Now, she had no choice but to do it herself.
Although it did seem a bit abrupt to say this to Lin Yilan suddenly, she felt that based on Lin Yilan's innocent feelings, she would definitely not think too much about it, and that was indeed the case.
When Lin Yilan heard Wang Yimo's proposal, she didn't think too much about it and agreed directly.
At dinner time, because Grandma Huo was feeling unwell, she went to bed early, so only Huo Juncheng, Lin Yilan and Wang Yimo were dining in the restaurant. When Huo Juncheng came back, he was not surprised to see Wang Yimo still there. His expression was still calm, and he drank the soup in his bowl quietly.
"How are your classes going lately?"
Lin Yilan thought Huo Juncheng would ask Wang Yimo why she was still here, but she heard Huo Juncheng asking about her course progress, and the soup that had just been put into her mouth suddenly sprayed out.
"What's wrong? Is the soup not tasty or very hot? Is it necessary to react so excessively?" Huo Juncheng still had a calm expression as he watched Lin Yilan's every move.
"Why are you asking about my classes for no reason? Don't you know you should just eat your meal properly and not talk nonsense? You're really ruining my mood for dinner."
"You're noisy at the table now, don't tell me, I'm not used to you being so quiet today. Is it because there are other people here, so you're a little reserved?"
Wang Yimo drank her porridge quietly. When she heard Huo Juncheng refer to her as "other people", her expression darkened slightly. However, when she thought about it carefully, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it. After all, she was just a tutor hired by Huo Juncheng.
However, it is hard to say who this other person is in the future... Wang Yimo thought so and glanced at Lin Yilan.
At this moment, Lin Yilan felt a little embarrassed facing Huo Juncheng's teasing. She glared at Huo Juncheng fiercely and said nothing more. However, she drank the soup much more roughly, making a clinking sound on purpose.
"You don't like that bowl? Why are you being so rude? If you want to change tableware, you can ask Sister Xiu to help you change it. There's no need to torture the bowl you're using now."
"Thank you, I don't need it." Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng and felt that Huo Juncheng was definitely doing it on purpose. Normally, when she shared her daily life with him, he was never so talkative, but today he was so abnormal.
"Huo Juncheng, tell me the truth, did you encounter any difficulties while working in the company today?"
"Hmm?" Huo Juncheng really couldn't understand Lin Yilan's train of thought. When he heard Lin Yilan asking about the company, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and glance at Lin Yilan, "No, why are you suddenly asking about my company?"
"Since you have nothing on your mind today, why do you come here to insult me?"
"I just want to ask how you've been doing in the past two days, and if you've gained anything from your lessons. If you're not satisfied, I can help you find another tutor."
Huo Juncheng glanced at Wang Yimo, not giving her any respect at all, and directly asked Lin Yilan if she needed a new tutor. Wang Yimo, sitting nearby, lost control of her expression when she heard Huo Juncheng's words. She laughed dryly and wanted to say something, but she felt that nothing she said would be right. She had no choice but to focus her attention on Lin Yilan.
"She's pretty good. Why change tutors? I think Yimo is great, and she's really amazing. She's the one with a PhD from MIT. I really admire her."
When Wang Yimo heard Lin Yilan praising herself, she covered her lips and smiled modestly at Huo Juncheng, "Mrs. Huo is a bit exaggerated. Actually, it's okay, not as bad as she said."
Huo Juncheng glanced at Wang Yimo calmly without saying anything. Wang Yimo became anxious, thinking Huo Juncheng was really going to fire her. She had finally met Huo Juncheng today, and now he was leaving? How could she possibly accept that?
"Mr. Huo, I've been getting along really well with Madam Huo these past two days. We can chat in our free time, and I've been teaching Madam Huo very seriously. If she has any questions, she can ask me online. Although I can't compare to those experienced teachers who have been teaching professionally for decades..."
Wang Yimo paused deliberately as he spoke. "But the young lady and I are of similar age, so there's no generation gap and we're easy to get along with. And just as the young lady said, my academic performance is also good, so I hope Mr. Huo will give me this opportunity to continue, okay?"
As Wang Yimo spoke, the area around her eyes unconsciously turned red. Anyone who saw her like that would have the urge to hug her and comfort her.
But before Huo Juncheng could say anything, Lin Yilan spoke first, "I think Yimo is pretty good, why do you want to replace her? I don't agree with replacing her."
"It's not class time now, so why is Miss Wang still at the Huo family? When my assistant discussed the contract with you, I don't think he told you that the Huo family would also cover your evening meals, right?"
"No, no..." When Wang Yimo heard Huo Juncheng say this, she finally understood why Huo Juncheng suddenly wanted to replace her.
"Yi Mo is here because I want to keep her. This afternoon I was too lazy to study, so I pulled Yi Mo along to chat. As a result, I didn't finish learning a lot of things. I thought I'd let Yi Mo teach me after dinner, and catch up on what I haven't digested in the past two days."
Huo Juncheng glanced at Wang Yimo, then at Lin Yilan. "That's nice to say, but you didn't study well all afternoon. Do you think you can study well in the evening? I want to replace her because you don't study well every day. Instead of that, I'd better find you a professional and strict teacher."
"How do you know I haven't been studying hard? You don't believe me."
"This is the Huo family. Do you think there's something I don't know?"
Lin Yilan was speechless when Huo Juncheng asked her a question. Normally, when she was in class, Huo Juncheng was at work, so there was no way he could know what she was doing in class. If he really wanted to know, he would definitely ask someone else, so...
Lin Yilan thought about this and felt that Huo Juncheng must have known all this because he had asked Sister Xiu. Alas, she had never intended to learn this systematically in the first place. She had only mentioned it briefly, but Huo Juncheng had directly hired a tutor for her.
She is now in a difficult situation and has brought trouble upon herself.
