Chapter 392: Chapter 392: True to One’s Heart_1

Tang Yuchan was also annoyed, driving in silence for quite a while, then she just cut to the chase, "Spit it out, is it about my dad’s thing?"

"Kind of." Shen Dong hesitated, but felt it was necessary to give a heads-up, he said earnestly, "If your dad is in trouble, we must help him, but if your dad has some unreasonable partnership requests, can we refuse?"

"Nonsense!" Tang Yuchan responded bluntly, her defiant gaze fixed on the road ahead, "I want to keep the benefits within the family, does he value that or not? If there’s a good project, I’ll definitely think of our family first, but we must be the controlling party!"

"You also need to prove yourself. If he rejects one, we have to set up one, until he regrets it!"

Shen Dong was amused by Tang Yuchan’s petulant cuteness, teasingly retorting, "What kind of regret? ’Yaya, daddy was wrong, forgive me’."

"Exactly, that’s how it should be!" Tang Yuchan laughed heartily, then her face turned stern again, "Hey, who’s your daddy? Are you taking advantage of me?"

"This is called taking advantage." Shen Dong didn’t know what got into him, his hand casually brushed Tang Yuchan’s leg.

Delicate, elastic...

Shen Dong didn’t have time to savor the moment as he caught Tang Yuchan’s murderous glare.

Tang Yuchan felt like exploding with anger, but seeing Shen Dong’s juvenile face, she couldn’t bring herself to get angry and just put on a fierce front, "You little brat, believe it or not, I’ll kick you out of the car."

"No, no, no!" Shen Dong realized the proverb ’lust drives out reason’ was definitely true.

He moved his hands in front of his chest, having no doubt that Tang Yuchan might actually go berserk and get violent, hastily admitted his fault saying, "I was just joking, you know, I’m still young, yeah, that’s right, still young."

"Young, but cunning. Huh, aren’t you afraid of your wife?" Tang Yuchan didn’t know what else to say and just forced herself to stay calm.

Thinking of Chen Yuyan, Shen Dong immediately straightened up and his posture became proper.

He turned to take his phone out of his pocket, grumbling, "Dealing with these issues all day, I haven’t been attending school properly, last session..."

He didn’t finish his sentence when he saw over twenty missed calls on his phone screen.

Shen Dong became nervous, glanced at the road sign, and said urgently, "Take me to the school, turn left down this road, keep going, and you’ll see the school on the right."

He had made an arrangement with the teacher that he didn’t have to attend school every day and would come back only if needed. Counting back, it had been quite some time since he last went back.

"Something’s up."

"Don’t know, over twenty missed calls." Shen Dong spoke out loud while his mind raced with speculation. Could there have been a fight? Or perhaps, someone bullied Chen Yuyan?

But that couldn’t be right. With the protection of Zhou Wenbin’s aura, who would dare to bully Shen Dong’s people?

Soon after, Shen Dong arrived at the school and rushed back to his classroom in a panic.

Before he even entered, he heard Mr. Hu’s complex voice, "Classmates, I, I have a clear conscience, no matter what, you will always be my students."

Hearing this remark, Shen Dong hurried into the classroom, "Mr. Hu, what happened?"

"Nothing." Mr. Hu forced a bitter smile.

As he was speaking, a student bellowed from under a desk, "Someone reported Mr. Hu for running a private class. He’s been fired, and our class is going to be scattered to other classrooms."

"Running a cram school is not okay?" Shen Dong was utterly confused.

Mr. Hu sighed, then reassured them again, "It’s alright, I have a clear conscience..."

"Sure, with money pocketed, why feel any regret." This sarcastic comment came from right behind Shen Dong.

Shen Dong turned around, and that sharp, critical voice came at him, "Well, if it isn’t the little boss of Hai City? Your backyard hostel is really something, huh? With a monthly rate of two thousand five hundred, you can’t even get a spot. Impressive."

"I forgot, your dad is Mr. Hu’s boss..."

"Say that again, I dare you." Shen Dong cursed abruptly, the sharp, critical words echoing in his ears like a harsh bell.

He didn’t mind the ridicule himself, but he was key in dragging Mr. Hu into this.

A teacher of over ten years, fired, it was a huge disgrace, and now to endure such ridicule?

"What, you want to get Big Brother Four to teach me a lesson?" This person first sneered, then raised his voice, speaking righteously, "This is a school, not a criminal’s backyard playground!"

"Zhang Bin, can you even speak properly? What do you mean ’criminal’?" As soon as Mr. Hu heard this, he rushed over to protect Shen Dong behind him, "Take it up with me if you have an issue, don’t ramble on in front of the students."

"Hit him!" someone from the class yelled, and books started flying towards the doorway.

Zhang Bin, seething with humiliation, cursed back, "Like father, like son, look at this class of yours, no wonder it needs to be disbanded!"

"Get out!" Mr. Hu flung his arm, cursing loudly, and dragged Shen Dong away.

Once they were on the playground, Mr. Hu took a deep breath, his tone evening out, "Shen Dong, I know you’re capable, but do you know what your classmates think?"

"Yu Miao and some others, they brought up how you sold fruit in the village... forget it."

Shen Dong felt self-reproach, but he didn’t understand Mr. Hu’s helplessness. He abruptly grabbed Mr. Hu’s arm, "Teacher, it’s okay, I’ll find someone to help you..."

"Find someone, find someone, do you think having power means you can do whatever you want?" Mr. Hu suddenly erupted in anger, swearing fiercely.

He thumped his chest, full of self-blame, "Me, a teacher who got involved in your nonsense, losing my principles and beliefs! What am I teaching, spreading the values of profit at all costs! Having someone like me on the three-foot podium, I feel ashamed just thinking about it!"

The words ’profit at all costs’ were particularly stressed by Mr. Hu, sending ripples across Shen Dong’s conscience.

Mr. Hu left, and Shen Dong didn’t stop him.

Shen Dong felt that Mr. Hu’s figure was immensely tall at that moment, and he was so insignificant.

He didn’t return to the class, instead walking like a zombie back to his Audi, and asked Tang Yuchan woodenly, "Have I tainted a sacred and glorious profession?"

"Is it that serious?" Tang Yuchan looked at Shen Dong’s expression, her heart also growing anxious.

After understanding the whole situation, she let out a sigh of relief, "My dad always said there are different rules in different circles. But, didn’t you say Mr. Hu’s tutoring class was free?"

"Yes, we agreed that it would be free for Hai City students, and the money I gave to Mr. Hu wasn’t much, just a hundred a day, eight days a month."

"Who paid the money?"

"I did, of course."

Once she got the full picture, Tang Yuchan couldn’t help but laugh, "If Mr. Hu’s tutoring class didn’t charge extra, then he can not only clear his name but also gain a great reputation. However, you need to make sure Mr. Hu really didn’t charge extra."

Hearing this, Shen Dong was uncertain, "He did mention that the tutoring class made some money... anyway, what do you think I should do?"

"First, go get the list from the tutoring class, keep it quiet..."

Before Tang Yuchan could finish her sentence, Shen Dong rushed out. He hadn’t thought through the bad influence he had brought to the class, but he distinctly felt that he had destroyed a passionate dream, Mr. Hu’s dream.
