Zheng Jiayu pretended not to know and sighed. "The child is disappointing. We can only find tutors the day after tomorrow. I hope he can learn from this lesson and make up for all the lost knowledge as soon as possible."
After saying that, Zheng Jiayu looked at Wu Zheng and He Cheng and asked with a smile, "You haven't told me who helped Jiujiu with her tutoring?"
When they heard Zheng Jiayu mention the tutoring, Wu Zheng and He Cheng's expressions were a little awkward. When Zheng Jiayu asked who it was, they couldn't even smile.
Everyone in the school knew who was helping Jiujiu with her tutoring. If Zheng Jiayu wanted to, there was no way she didn't know Qiao Chen.
Not to mention, when Zheng Jiayu went over, Qiao Chen was still sitting in the room. If she asked, she would naturally know who Qiao Chen was.
Wu Zheng and He Cheng weren't fools. If they still didn't know why Zheng Jiayu was looking for them, they would have lived in vain all these years.
He Cheng was really concerned about Zheng Jiayu's situation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come over. When he saw that Zheng Jiayu wanted to do this through them, his expression turned ugly. After a glance, he said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. I'll go back first. You two talk."
Zheng Jiayu didn't expect He Cheng to stand up and leave the moment she spoke. Her expression turned ugly, but she still looked at Wu Zheng with anticipation.
Zheng Jiayu's motive wasn't really for Qiao Chen to help with the tutoring, but she had been friends with Wu Zheng for so many years. Wu Zheng would definitely ask Jiujiu to help with the tutoring.
Wu Zheng's expression froze. After scolding He Cheng several times in his heart, he said, "Xiao Yu, it's not that we don't want to help you. We really can't help you. The person who tutored Jiujiu isn't a teacher. It's a student in their school. As parents, we can't ask them to help Liang Chen."
Moreover, Jiujiu had told her in private that although Qiao Chen's attitude was very good in front of them, he was very rude to others. Previously, someone saw that her results were good and wanted Qiao Chen to tutor her, but Qiao Chen directly told them to get lost.
There was also the time when Qiao Chen was discussing a problem with the teacher. After the teacher made a mistake, Qiao Chen almost said that the teacher was an 'idiot'.
Jiujiu's words were vague, but Wu Zheng knew that Jiujiu was trying to tell them that Qiao Chen wasn't a friendly person. If he did anything rude in the future, they shouldn't be angry.
Zheng Jiayu had always felt that with the relationship between their families, it was absolutely impossible for Wu Zheng to reject her. Even if he did, he would immediately let Jiujiu replace her.
Unexpectedly, not only did Wu Zheng reject her outright, he didn't even ask for Jiujiu's help. Zheng Jiayu couldn't keep the smile on his face, but when he thought of Liang Chen's terrible results and the rapid improvement of his grades because of Qiao Chen, he could only pretend not to understand and continue, "Since this student doesn't have time, then what about Jiujiu? Can you help my Liang Chen with his tuition in Jiujiu? Our families are close, and I won't take advantage of your Jiujiu. Let's just treat it as 50 yuan per hour. How about that? "
Zheng Jiayu felt that her offer was already very good, but Wu Zheng still rejected her outright.
Wu Zheng said awkwardly, "Xiao Yu, with the relationship between our families, if Jiujiu can help your Liang Chen, I'll definitely let her come without hesitation. But Jiujiu told me before that she's going to study literature after the subjects are separated. I remember that Liang Chen is going to study science, and it'll be separated next semester. When Jiujiu enters the literature class in the future, the subjects she'll study will be different, so she won't be able to help Liang Chen with his tuition."
Other than Chinese and English, the other subjects were different. If you wanted to do well in Chinese and English, you had to memorize everything. There was no technique involved.
Zheng Jiayu was prepared to use their many years of friendship to force Wu Zheng if he wasn't willing. She didn't expect Wu Zheng to directly say that Jiujiu wanted to study literature. She was instantly stunned.
After a long time, Zheng Jiayu said, "I remember that Jiujiu's grades in science are also very good. Why did she suddenly want to study literature? It'll be difficult to find a job in the future! "
Zheng Jiayu seemed to be thinking for Jiujiu, but in fact, she still hoped that Jiujiu could study science. If she studied science, she would have a reason to openly ask Jiujiu to help Liang Chen with his tuition.
Wu Zheng saw through Zheng Jiayu's thoughts, but he didn't point it out. He just smiled and said, "This isn't our era. Besides, Old He and I are earning money. Even if Jiujiu doesn't work in the future, we can still afford it. The most important thing is that the child likes it."
Since Wu Zheng said so, as an outsider, what else could Zheng Jiayu say? She could only smile and say, "I remember that the difficulty of science will increase after the second year of high school. It's not easy for girls to study science. Instead of waiting for them to regress in the future, it's better to study literature as early as possible. Jiujiu has a scholarly aura to begin with, so it's quite good for her to study literature."
Zheng Jiayu's words were full of jealousy. No matter how magnanimous Wu Zheng was, he couldn't bear to see Zheng Jiayu talk about his daughter like that. His face darkened visibly.
Because of Zheng Jiayu's words, the smile on Wu Zheng's face turned cold. He glanced at Zheng Jiayu and said, "That's true. Your Liang Chen's grades might go up after the classes are divided. Since there's nothing else, I won't disturb you anymore."
Wu Zheng stood up. "It's getting late. I'll go back first. I still have work tomorrow."
After saying that, Wu Zheng walked towards the door without waiting for Zheng Jiayu to get up.
Because of the anger in his heart, Wu Zheng slammed the door louder than usual.
After Wu Zheng and He Cheng went to the opposite side, Jiujiu and Qiao Chen kept listening. When He Cheng came back, Jiujiu was curious as to why he was so fast. In the end, before He Cheng could finish speaking, they heard the sound of Wu Zheng slamming the door. Everyone looked at each other and instantly looked towards the door.
Seeing Wu Zheng's dark face, Jiujiu immediately asked, "Mom, what did Auntie Zheng say?"
Looking at his obedient and sensible daughter, Wu Zheng's anger towards Zheng Jiayu calmed down a lot.
However, she still didn't want Jiujiu to come into contact with the complexity of society so early. She said, "It's just some things in the company. It's nothing. It's getting late. You and Qiao Chen should go to bed early. You still have class tomorrow!"
Seeing that Wu Zheng wasn't willing to say more, Jiujiu didn't force him. She turned off the television, washed up, and went to bed.
Seeing that Jiujiu didn't ask any more questions, Wu Zheng let out a long sigh of relief. After returning to the room, he said to He Cheng, "Zheng Jiayu wants Jiujiu to tutor Liang Chen!"
Although he had guessed it earlier, when it really happened, He Cheng's expression didn't look too good. "You agreed?"
"How is that possible?"
Zheng Jiayu himself didn't know about Liang Chen and Jiujiu, but they knew.
They were already very unhappy that Liang Chen had come to quarrel with Jiujiu because of his girlfriend. Now, Zheng Jiayu wanted Jiujiu to help Liang Chen with his tutoring, but he still put on a high and mighty attitude and said something like 50 yuan an hour.
