Chapter 300: Chapter 170: Don’t Ruin Dad’s Reputation! [Large Chapter, Over 10,000 Words!]_6
At this moment, the kindergarten students were all lining up, waiting for their parents to come pick them up. Many parents had already arrived to collect their children and were slowly leaving with them.
These four little ones were also obediently standing in line.
Standing beside the children was Huang Ying, except her complexion seemed a bit off, and she didn’t look to be in a good state.
“Teacher Huang Ying, what’s wrong? You don’t seem to be alright,” Ye Bing said as she looked at Teacher Huang Ying.
“It’s nothing, just a bit worn out!” Huang Ying said with a smile.
In truth, she was still saddened by the recent events. Her most cared-for friend had turned into what she was now, which made her feel terrible.
Before coming here, it had always been Wang Xiaomei who had cheered her up, helping her stave off boredom.
But now, her once good friend had become her enemy.
This made her wonder if she was in the wrong!
And yet, all she had done was what a teacher should do.
Was all of this really her fault?
She began to feel somewhat dazed.
“Teacher, you should go home early to rest later, you don’t look very spirited!” Ye Bing spoke again, her eyes full of concern.
“Indeed, we’ll be very worried if you’re like this,” Ye Qing chimed in.
“Teacher Huang Ying, just wait a little longer. My dad will be bringing some ginseng soon. When you get it, don’t be stingy, you must take it home and replenish yourself, or else we’ll all be worried about you!” At that moment, Little Fourth, Ye Jie, also spoke up.
“You guys, the teacher is really fine. Why are you all worrying like this? Besides, about the ginseng, let your dad keep it. Later on, it can be used to replenish your grandparents, I don’t need it,” Huang Ying said as she petted Ye Jie’s little cheek and smiled.
“That won’t do. Although my dad is as stingy as they come, he always keeps his word. It’s best not to refuse, or else he’ll get angry, and that can be really scary!” Ye Jie said again, her little face showing a hint of nervousness.
The other little rascals, seeing Ye Jie’s demeanor, quietly gave her a thumbs-up.
Their fourth little sister was really something!
She could tell a lie without even blinking.
Probably, she’d said it many times before to be so skilled at it.
They almost believed her themselves.
“Well…” Huang Ying began to feel conflicted.
Instinctively, she thought it might be true, as children usually don’t lie.
She refused to believe that a nearly four-year-old child would lie!
In her view, what could a three or four-year-old child possibly know?
Isn’t it just like them to say exactly what they think?
They’re so innocent and straightforward, saying whatever they see.
“So, teacher, you must accept it, otherwise, we’ll be in big trouble when we get home!” Ye Jie continued, increasingly exaggerating her plea.
“But…”
“There’s no buts!”
“Look, dad is here!”
Someone shouted, and the few little ones all looked over.
Huang Ying also turned to look.
Ye Fan appeared, dressed in a casual suit, holding a paper bag in his hand.
“Dad, you’re finally here!”
“Yeah, yeah, we were getting anxious!”
“Mhmm.”
“You few little mischief-makers, you haven’t caused any trouble for your Teacher Huang Ying, have you?” Ye Fan crouched down, patted the little ones on their heads, and said with a smile.
The few little rascals were far from well-behaved.
He, as their father, knew them very well.
“No, no, they’ve been very well-behaved,” Huang Ying quickly said, a hint of embarrassment on her face.
After all, she had just overheard the kids talking about how Mr. Ye Fan was, and now that he had suddenly appeared, she was caught off guard.
“That’s good to hear. I’m here to pick them up. Here, take this with you. Go replenish yourself, you look a bit pale. Take care, and we’re off!” Ye Fan said as he handed over the paper bag to Huang Ying.
This Teacher Huang Ying, when I saw her this morning, looked fine, but now she looks so much worse.
Indeed, giving her a ginseng to replenish her health was the right thing to do.
“Mr. Ye Fan, no, this is too precious, I cannot accept it!” Huang Ying immediately pushed the paper bag back.
This cannot be accepted.
It absolutely must not be accepted.
Mainly because it’s too precious!
Huang Ying thought, if she guessed correctly, this must be the ginseng Mr. Ye Fan mentioned, which is worth hundreds of thousands.
How could such a thing be given away so casually?
Moreover, ginseng is a life-saving herb, so its value is not just those hundreds of thousands.
But even hundreds of thousands is the lowest estimate; it could be worth over a million. Naturally, she, a junior teacher, had never come across such things and thus did not understand the value of this precious medicine.
“If you don’t accept this, do you expect me to carry it around forever?” Ye Fan’s expression remained very calm as he spoke.
Exactly!
“This is at the school gate, do you really want everyone to know?” Ye Fan spoke again.
Look around, the curious glances have already started to wander.
“Teacher Huang, just accept it, my dad doesn’t mean anything else. Everyone is watching!” Ye Bing spoke up at this moment.
“Yes, look how pale you’ve been lately. We really don’t want you to get sick. If you fall ill, who will teach us!”
“We won’t let anyone else teach us. Only you!”
“Teacher Huang, do you still remember what I said just now?” At this moment, a hint of fear flashed in Ye Jie’s eyes, and her little face suddenly seemed quite serious.
“Well, okay then, thank you, Mr. Ye!” Huang Ying said hesitantly, holding the thing in her hand as if it weighed a thousand pounds.
But truly, thanks to the children and Ye Fan’s kind intentions.
A family as happy as theirs should definitely not get entangled with her.
Now, Wang Xiaomei had become very unfamiliar to her; if she really did something to hurt the Ye family, she truly wouldn’t be able to forgive herself.
After all, this incident started because of her.
“Okay, then we’re leaving, goodbye then, @1!” Ye Fan nodded.
“Goodbye, Teacher Huang!”
The few children said in unison.
Ye Fan took the little ones and got into the car.
“Why do I always feel like Teacher Huang Ying is a bit strange?” Ye Fan wondered aloud.
“What’s so strange? She accepted it, right?” Ye Jie spoke casually at that moment.
Exactly!
Right, getting Teacher Huang Ying to accept the gift wasn’t anything special.
“Maybe it’s just me overthinking. By the way, Little Fourth, what did you say to Teacher Huang just now? Why did you ask if she remembered what you said earlier?” Ye Fan asked at that moment.
It felt like these kids were keeping something from him.
“Haha, really? No, not at all!” Ye Jie immediately played dumb.
“Alright, I always feel like I’m being schemed against by you little ones. Don’t go ruining your dad’s reputation in front of others!” Ye Fan said with a smile.
“What, ruin your reputation? How could that happen!”
“You are our dad, we’re not those kinds of people!”
“Of course, Dad, you’re thinking too much.”
“Exactly, drive carefully, pay attention to safety!”
The little ones were surprisingly in sync.
