"I am an adult, and more importantly, your teacher. I should not be bribed by money. It's my fault!"
...
"Very good!"
Ling Jiuze suddenly spoke, looking at the two through the rearview mirror, "So loyal? How about you become sworn brothers now?"
Su Xi and Ling Yihang were silent.
Ling Jiuze paused, and said to Ling Yihang, "It is not wrong to be brave and protect the weak when you are sure of your own safety, but you don't have to be so harsh when dealing with classmates."
Ling Yihang said "Oh" obediently.
"Overall, you did nothing wrong in this matter. I won't scold you!"
Ling Jiuze immediately smiled, "Thank you, second uncle!"
"But," Ling Jiuze's tone sank, "You let Teacher Su pretend to be a parent, how do you say this?"
Su Xi was about to speak, but she saw Ling Jiuze looking at her with deep eyes in the mirror, and she immediately shut up.
Ling Yihang lowered his head, "I was wrong, I won't do it again!"
"Well, not only should you know your mistakes, but you should also be able to correct them!" Ling Jiuze slowed down his voice and said in a calm voice, "There is still one class, go to class!"
"Yes!" Ling Yihang responded, and looked at Su Xi worriedly before getting off the car, "Second Uncle, you forgive me, can you also forgive Teacher Su?"
Su Xi looked at Ling Yihang's pure eyes, and her heart softened suddenly.
"Don't worry, I won't fire her!" Ling Jiuze said.
Ling Yihang was relieved, said goodbye to the two, got off the car, and was escorted into the school by bodyguards.
He left, and only Su Xi and Ling Jiuze were left in the car, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
Su Xi was about to apologize again when she saw Ling Jiuze in the mirror lift his thin lips and said indifferently, "Has your IQ dropped to the level of an elementary school student? You said she was his second aunt, and you thought the teacher would believe it?"
Su Xi's face turned pale, and she said righteously, "First of all, the IQ of elementary school students can also be very high. I lied and did not set a good example for Yihang. I was wrong. You can fire me, but you can't insult me, and you don't have to insult me and take others with you. In addition,..."
Her eyes flashed, and she didn't say anything else.
Ling Jiuze looked at her through the mirror without showing any emotion, "Go on, what else?"
Su Xi took a deep breath, with a very serious expression, "Yihang said you like young people, so it makes sense to have a young second aunt."
Ling Jiuze's handsome face was not tense, he smiled with pursed lips, turned his head to look out the window, his arms resting on the steering wheel, the sleeves of his shirt rolled up, revealing a part of his arms, pampered, strong and powerful.
Su Xi thought for a moment and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to be Yihang's second aunt."
"You're dreaming!" The man interrupted her, smiling, "Don't worry, even if I like young people, I don't like minors, you don't have to be afraid."
Su Xi frowned, wanting to say that she was an adult, but saying it would seem to cause unnecessary speculation, so she simply shut up.
Ling Jiuze asked again, "You said you were bribed by money, how much money did Ling Yihang give you?"
"Hmm?" Su Xi's face changed slightly. Did she say that?
Her IQ has indeed dropped, otherwise how could she explode?
Anyway, enough people have been lost today, Su Xi simply gave it a go, "He said that after the matter is done, he will persuade you to double my salary."
Ling Jiuze nodded and spoke slowly, "Yihang's study has improved, and I did have the idea of raising your salary before."
Su Xi was delighted.
Ling Jiuze continued, "But now it's gone."
Su Xi, "..."
Su Xi felt that he must have done it on purpose, killing her and breaking her heart, he just wanted to see her regret and disappointment, so as to teach her a lesson and punish her.
But think about it, no matter how you look at it, she was in the wrong, Ling Jiuze didn't fire her, and didn't have the idea of firing her, which seemed to be very good.
Ling Jiuze saw the girl's expression slowly change from annoyance and depression to calmness and even snickering, not knowing what she was thinking, he couldn't help but curl his lips again and started the car, "Send you back to school?"
Su Xi's mood had returned to normal, "Okay."
...
Half an hour later, the Bentley Mulsanne stopped at the gate of Jiang University. Su Xi was about to get off the car and chuckled, "Thank you, Mr. Ling."
"You're welcome!" The man's voice was gentle, "I also want to thank you, but you only pretended to be my wife, not my mother!"
Su Xi laughed dryly twice, "You're welcome!"
It's not that she didn't want to, but Ling Yihang didn't agree.
The man saw that her ears were red, so he stopped teasing her, "Open the door carefully."
"Yes, you drive carefully too."
Su Xi got out of the car and walked straight to the school gate. Ling Jiuze looked at her slender back and drove away after she entered the school gate.
...
That night, Ling Yihang asked her to play games and asked her indirectly what his second uncle said to Su Xi after he left, and whether he took his anger out on her.
Su Xi remained calm and said nothing, as if she deliberately swallowed all the grievances in her stomach and took it all by herself.
Sure enough, Ling Yihang was uneasy in his heart. Not only did he give her a lot of equipment, but he also protected her everywhere all night and suffered a lot of bombs himself.
At half past nine, Su Xi asked Ling Yihang to go to bed. Ling Yihang was not as disdainful as usual. Without saying a word, he quit the game and went to bed.
Later, Su Xi received a call from her father Su Zhengrong, saying that there was a big party at the old house this weekend, and grandpa and grandma sent a message for everyone to go back.
"What's the matter?" Su Xi asked.
Su Zhengrong said, "Your cousin Chu Ci graduated from abroad and returned with a double master's degree. This party is to welcome your cousin and celebrate Chu Ci's entry into Ling's company as the president's secretary."
Su Xi's eyebrows moved. President's secretary?
Her cousin became Ling Jiuze's personal secretary?
"I have something to do this weekend. I can't go. Dad apologizes to my grandparents and me." Su Xi said.
She grew up outside since she was a child. Even though she has recognized her ancestors and returned to her roots, she is not close to the elders of the Su family. She has participated in family gatherings before. She can't fit in and always seems out of place.
Especially on such a reunion day, it's better for her not to go.
Su Zhengrong tried to persuade her, "It's a rare opportunity. Your cousin is very good. You can talk more."
"Dad, I really have something to do." Su Xi's voice was gentle, but her attitude was firm. "Okay." Su Zhengrong had to smile, "Anyway, we'll have a chance to meet again in the future."
After hanging up the phone, Su Xi played the game for a while. Suddenly, a black eagle head logo appeared on the phone. Slowly, the eagle head changed from black to transparent.
Su Xi quit the game, got up and left the bedroom.
In the yard, Uncle Lin took Baxi for a walk on the lawn, and Aunt Wu was preparing ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast in the kitchen. The whole villa was quiet as usual.
Su Xi walked to the study next door, entered the fingerprint, and opened the door to go in.
There was no desk or bookshelf in the study, only a computer in the middle, and two black and white display screens on the opposite wall.
