Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1597 - 924: Double -

Absolute honesty in absolute relaxation, Li Xiaoyan didn’t understand the reason for Wang Qiayu’s trust in her, but that trust gave her a warm feeling inside.

After working hard outside for so many years, the only people who truly trusted her were Chairman Luo and President Qu, but that trust was also built on the foundation of time.

But Wang Qiayu was different.

Wang Qiayu had only met her once, and even if she was Xiao Ning’s sister, there was no reason for him to be so open with her in such a short time.

In her hometown, being a teacher at the town’s middle school was something many people dreamed of, and if she wanted, she could easily make him lose his job and take it for herself.

Or, perhaps he understood that with her current development in Sha City, she wouldn’t care about his job, which is why he acted like this?

”Why do you trust me like this?” Li Xiaoyan asked straightforwardly, thinking that the best way to handle this was with honesty, not wild guesses.

”Why?” Wang Qiayu scratched his head, ”Honestly, I don’t know, it just came out in conversation.”

Li Xiaoyan laughed, ”Do you regret it a bit now?”

Wang Qiayu shook his head, ”Not at all.” Then he added, ”To be honest, after I said it, I was a little worried, but now that you’ve asked, I have nothing to worry about.”

”Haha...” Li Xiaoyan raised her glass, ”To you, Teacher Wang, I toast you for your trust, this deserves a toast.”

”Thank you.”

”Let us join too,” Lin Yuanyuan looked at Wang Qiayu, ”Teacher Wang, it’s champagne, let’s drink a little, alright?”

Wang Qiayu finished his drink and said, ”Alright, but since Sister Xiaoning specifically toasted me, you all shouldn’t get involved.”

”Teacher Wang, don’t be so formal, by the way, how old are you?”

”Twenty-eight years old. I’m a Dragon.”

”Then you’re three years older than me, just call me Li Xiaoyan...” Li Xiaoyan said as she filled her glass again, ”I’ll toast you again to thank you for taking care of Xiao Ning.”

”No, no, no...” Wang Qiayu waved his hands repeatedly, ”Xiao... Li Xiaoyan, you’re being too polite, as Xiao Ning’s teacher, I’m just fulfilling my duty as a teacher, I really haven’t done much for him.”

”Precisely because of that, I have to toast you...” Li Xiaoyan’s eyes misted over, ”You’ve taught Yu for three years, though I haven’t met you, I’ve heard your name many times from his mouth.

Back then, our family was poor, and you helped Yu a lot, this kindness I’ve always remembered, I originally planned to thank you in person when I had the chance, didn’t expect to meet you this time.”

”Teacher, I’ll toast you together with my sister.” Li Xiaoning stood up, ”Back then, I was ignorant, I always ate your lunch thinking you had already eaten.

Later... I accidentally found out, and I felt so guilty, actually... I’ve always wanted to thank you in person, but every time I tried to say it, I got too shy.

I was afraid classmates would say I was trying to curry favor with you, so I hid the gifts my parents and sister prepared for you, intending to give them to you when I graduated, teacher, I’m sorry!”

”You...” Li Xiaoyan looked speechlessly at her younger brother, earlier she thought her brother had grown up, was a little adult, but now it seems, he’s still just a little child.

However, when I was his age, I too cared a lot about people saying I was sucking up to the teacher.

”Let’s join too,” Lin Yuanyuan stood up, ”If it wasn’t for Teacher Wang advancing his own money this time, we probably wouldn’t even have been able to come here.”

”Exactly, exactly,” Lu Lihua quickly agreed.

Wang Qiayu drank his cup of wine in one go and said, ”You all saying this makes me feel like an outsider. I stayed in the town to be a teacher because I love this profession, I love the feeling of sending talented individuals off, and while giving to you, I also get a return, which is—a sense of achievement!”

”Thank you, teacher.” The three students also drank their drinks clean.

”Teacher, did you know, in our school’s high school division, many girls have a crush on you,” in the relaxed atmosphere, Lin Yuanyuan’s courage grew.

”Nonsense!” Wang Qiayu glared at her, ”How can you joke about a teacher like this?”

Lu Lihua quickly chimed in, ”Teacher, Yuanyuan isn’t joking, in the high school division, a lot of the older girls really do have a crush on you, haven’t you noticed that every time you play basketball during the afternoon break on the playground, there are especially many senior girls around?”
