Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 120 - 67: Huang Panpan Hires a Tutor

Su Zelin was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Good luck!"

Even though it was just two simple words, a very ordinary encouragement, Huang Panpan was instantly excited; she could keenly sense the subtle change in Su Zelin’s attitude towards her.

"Thank you, senior, I will definitely try my best!"

They talked for a while.

"Senior, my tutoring teacher is here, I need to attend my lesson now, I’ll text you later!"

The junior added again, "Oh, by the way, senior, the tutors my family hires are all female. My parents and I have agreed, no male tutors, so don’t worry!"

Su Zelin thought to himself: What the heck am I worrying about? It’s not like we’re in Japan, is it even possible to have something like ’The Housewife’s Private Teacher’ happen just by tutoring...

Mocking inwardly, the slacker replied, "Alright, go ahead, don’t keep the teacher waiting!"

"Okay, bye-bye, senior, mwah!"

Huang Panpan even blew a kiss over the phone, making Su Zelin’s skin crawl.

"Bye-bye!"

The slacker swiftly hung up the call.

This girl is so presumptuous at home; if her parents found out, they might come after me, accusing me of corrupting their daughter!

...

Jianglan City, the Huang family in Lijing District.

"Teacher Li, you’re here!"

Huang Hongbo and Li Juan politely welcomed the female tutor into their home.

Their daughter wanted tutoring, so they naturally hired the best teacher.

This Li Meilan is a well-known Chinese teacher in the city, the mock exams she prepares for her class are often ranked first in the city. Originally, she didn’t do private tutoring, but Huang Hongbo pulled some strings and paid a hefty fee to invite her over.

Besides her, there are a few other subject teachers, but they’ll come over starting tomorrow; tonight is reserved for Chinese.

Li Meilan nodded slightly, though she was not too keen on being a private tutor.

She had heard that the young lady of this wealthy Jianglan family had quite a problematic personality, very difficult to handle. But she couldn’t resist the persuasion from acquaintances, and the remuneration offered was extremely tempting; tutoring a few times a month paid several times more than her salary, so she finally agreed.

Li Juan offered Li Meilan a cup of tea, and Huang Panpan, having just finished her phone call, came out of her room. She slightly bowed and said, "Hello, Teacher Li, sorry to trouble you!"

Li Meilan was a bit surprised; wasn’t this Huang family’s little girl supposed to be a problematic teenager? Why is she so polite?

Could it be just a rumor?

The two of them went into the room for tutoring. Seeing Huang Panpan listening intently at the doorway, Huang Hongbo and Li Juan were deeply comforted.

This rebellious daughter had suddenly changed for some unknown reason. Recently, she had been very nice to them, even asked them to accompany her to the park before school started, and now she was studying hard, actively requesting tutoring, and being very polite to the tutoring teacher, as if she had become a different person.

"Hongbo, our daughter has finally become sensible. What do you think happened? Could it be she’s passed her rebellious phase?"

Li Juan whispered to her husband.

"I don’t think it has anything to do with the rebellious phase."

Huang Hongbo pondered for a moment before saying, "Panpan must be doing this for that boy."

He had witnessed his daughter chasing after the train to bid farewell to Su Zelin, so he naturally understood his daughter’s feelings.

"Do you remember during the holiday, Panpan even asked me to find out if the Finance Academy in the province was easy to get into, and if there was a way to get in? Looks like that’s where that boy goes to school!"

"There’s indeed such a thing, what you say makes sense!"

Li Juan nodded and asked, "Did you find out his identity?"

"Yes, it’s the top scorer in English this year from our city, named Su Zelin, he was in the same school as Panpan at Second High!"

Huang Hongbo’s connections were quite extensive, Jianglan being a small place, it was easy to check on someone.

"English top scorer?"

Li Juan exclaimed, "Yes, I’ve heard of such a person; but if he’s so good at English, how come he only got into the Finance Academy?"

"I’ve heard that Su Zelin is only good at English; his other subjects aren’t great."

Huang Hongbo explained.

"And what about this person?"

Li Juan asked with concern.

"His family is doing pretty well; his father is named Su Jianjun, who’s also in business since the ’80s like us. But as for Su Zelin, he doesn’t have a good reputation at school. It’s said he often fought with neighborhood delinquents, though he toned down a bit in high school."

Huang Hongbo truthfully told his wife.

Li Juan frowned upon hearing this, "Then isn’t he a bad student? How can our Panpan associate with someone like that? I need to have a good talk with her!"

Huang Hongbo thought to himself that their daughter wasn’t all that much better herself, until she recently changed.

"You mustn’t mention this to Panpan; you know her personality. Once she’s set on something, even nine oxen can’t pull her back. Moreover, Panpan has only just begun to change; if you provoke her now, it might cause trouble!"

"That’s all very well, but are we just going to watch our daughter mingle with such a bad student?"

"Su Zelin has gone to college now, and there’s not much chance for Panpan to interact with him. Maybe she will move on over time. In short, we shouldn’t interfere lightly; let’s just watch and see!"

"Hmm, that’s all we can do!"
