Chapter 220: Bad Intentions
In the end, there was no other way, so Lin Yilan had to promise Huo Juncheng that she would study hard, and finally made Huo Juncheng give up the idea of replacing Wang Yimo.
Normally, Huo Juncheng would have let her change. She felt no one was interested in learning these things, so it didn't matter. But today was different. Wang Yimo had just said she wanted to be friends with Lin Yilan, and now Huo Juncheng was replacing her. It felt a bit unfair no matter how you looked at it.
In fact, what Huo Juncheng said was right. Lin Yilan did not plan to stay up late to study tonight. She stayed up so late yesterday that she and Xu Ziwen did not attend their opera class properly. If she stayed up late today, she probably would not be able to get up tomorrow.
Although Xu Ziwen was not angry with her for being absent today, she couldn't keep doing this. Otherwise, even if Xu Ziwen had a good temper, he would definitely lecture her.
Lin Yilan wanted to go to her room and sleep early, but when she saw Wang Yimo in her room, she didn't know what to do. Wang Yimo noticed Lin Yilan's gaze and tilted her head.
"What's wrong, Sister Yilan, why are you looking at me like that?"
Lin Yilan scratched her head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Yimo, I slept too late last night, so I wanted to go to bed early today, so I may not be able to chat with you for too long."
Hearing Lin Yilan's words, Wang Yimo smiled sweetly, "What was I doing at that time? It doesn't matter. Since Sister Yilan wants to sleep, I won't disturb you anymore. I'll go back to the guest room."
"I'm so sorry, Yimo, can I chat with you tomorrow night? I really want to go to bed early today, but if that's the case, won't your teaching load be a bit heavy tomorrow?"
"It's okay. Sister Yilan actually thought of me. I'm really touched. My teaching load won't be too heavy, but Sister Yilan needs to be more alert and listen carefully tomorrow."
Wang Yimo said with a playful smile, "But can I really stay at the Huo family tomorrow?"
Seeing Wang Yimo's expectant gaze, Lin Yilan nodded. She really couldn't understand why Wang Yimo wanted to stay in the Huo family so much. Was it really that they hit it off right away? But why didn't she feel that way...
Wang Yimo exudes the demeanor of a great person, and she is so knowledgeable, while Lin Yilan is just a child who grew up in the mountains. Apart from having powerful martial arts skills, she seems to have no advantages.
The two of them don't seem like a pair that could become good friends...
Lin Yilan couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it, took a quick shower, and fell asleep early.
After Wang Yimo came out of Lin Yilan's room, she didn't return to the guest room, but went straight to the study. She remembered that Huo Juncheng seemed to have gone straight to the study after dinner. As for whether Huo Juncheng was still in the study, Wang Yimo was not sure.
But how would you know if you don’t go and take a look?
"I'm sorry, Miss Wang, Mr. Huo is working inside and can't see any visitors right now."
Wang Yimo had just reached the door of the study when she was stopped by the Huo family's housekeeper. Wang Yimo stood there in a daze, glanced at the housekeeper who stopped her, and then looked at the door of the study.
I thought to myself: "It really is the Huo family. I knew it wouldn't be so easy to get close to Huo Juncheng."
Wang Yimo smiled sweetly and said to the housekeeper, "I hope the housekeeper can help me inform him. I want to talk to Mr. Huo about what happened with Mrs. Huo these days. Sorry for the inconvenience."
When the housekeeper heard Wang Yimo say this and looked at her harmless smile, his tense face relaxed. "Okay, I'll go ask for you."
"Sorry for the trouble." Wang Yimo bowed politely to the housekeeper, and her every gesture showed the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.
…
After a while, the housekeeper came out of the study. "Miss Wang, please go in. Mr. Huo has just finished dealing with some business. He has a video conference in half an hour. Normally, they don't see guests at this time. Miss Wang, please keep your conversation short."
When Wang Yimo heard what the housekeeper said, he nodded and walked in with small steps.
"Mr. Huo." Wang Yimo looked at the man sitting in the main seat and nodded.
"Miss Wang, what do you want to tell me? Is it because Yilan is not in good condition recently?"
Huo Juncheng had a stern face just now, but when he talked about Lin Yilan, his expression unconsciously revealed concern. Wang Yimo could see that Lin Yilan seemed to be quite important to Huo Juncheng.
"Mrs. Huo is very serious about her studies, but she occasionally slacks off. I think it's normal for her to feel bored since she's never been exposed to these things before, so I don't remind her too much sometimes."
"She feels bored and doesn't listen to the class seriously. Are you just going to let her go on like this? What's the use of me having you?" Huo Juncheng looked at Wang Yimo coldly with an imposing manner.
Wang Yimo stood opposite Huo Juncheng, feeling the powerful aura around him, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Huo. I was wrong. I will definitely supervise the young lady's studies in the future. Can you please not replace me?"
"I did have this idea at first, but since Yilan said she wants you to continue teaching her, how can I change her tutor? She's finally trying to learn these business knowledge, what if after this incident, she doesn't want to learn anymore... Just teach her well."
Wang Yimo listened to what Huo Juncheng said. Although her expression remained the same on the surface, she was already extremely shocked in her heart. She didn't expect that Mr. Huo, who was rumored to be decisive and taciturn, would actually say so much to her!
But the rumors also say that Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan’s marriage is just a loveless one, and they don’t have such deep feelings at all... Could it be that all the rumors are false?
No, no, no, Wang Yimo didn't believe that Huo Juncheng would like Lin Yilan, a country girl. The one who could be worthy of Huo Juncheng should be a woman like her who was of equal social status and had a very high education.
"What are you thinking about? If you don't have anything to say, please leave."
Huo Juncheng looked at the stunned Wang Yimo and ruthlessly ordered her to leave. Wang Yimo pulled her thoughts back, looked at the man in front of her, and bowed apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Huo. I didn't get enough rest for the past two days, so I was a little distracted. Don't worry, I will definitely teach the young lady business knowledge well and will never let her lose interest in these things."
Wang Yimo looked up at Huo Juncheng after she finished speaking. "As long as Mr. Huo allows me to continue to be Madam Huo's tutor, I can't guarantee how much Madam Huo will achieve, but I will definitely teach her everything I know."
Hearing Wang Yimo's words, Huo Juncheng's cold face slowly melted a little, "Then I'll wait and see."
