After he finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at me without leaving a trace. I don’t know if it was my illusion, but the look in his eyes when he looked at me, besides displeasure, also contained a bit of indescribable hostility.

But compared to him, what concerned me more was Mo Fushan's reaction. When he saw his daughter drunk and hugging my arm, there was no special expression on his face.

This made me curious whether he was expressionless or just didn't care. But no matter what, Mo Fushan didn't react at all, which made me a little nervous.

Of course, the one who was more nervous than me was obviously Mo Yuhan. However, even so, she still did not let go of my hand. Instead, she hugged me even tighter. Even when I sat on the sofa, she still did not let go of my hand.

"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Xu from my group."

When I heard Mofushan start to introduce me to this big shot who had almost nothing to do with my life, I suddenly felt a little confused. My intuition told me that Mofushan definitely didn't introduce me to such a big shot because he had nothing to do.

"Oh, hello, I'm..."

But despite this, I did not dare to neglect him. Before I could finish my words, he interrupted me and said slowly to me:

"I know you. Your name is... Lin Ran, right? Xiaohan's tutor after she returns to China."

Mr. Xu looks to be about the same age as Mo Fushan, so it is reasonable... Mr. Xu's son is a classmate of Mo Yuhan in the class next to hers, so the age difference is not that big.

However, what is similar between the two of them is not just their age, but also the heavy aura they both have. It can be said that they are on par with Mo Fushan. This suddenly made me feel a lot of pressure, even greater than when I was facing Manager Liao.

"um, yes."

Seeing this, I responded neither humbly nor arrogantly. After all, I am Mo Yuhan's teacher, and Mo Fushan is also here. I can't lose my dignity here.

But then again, I don't know if Mr. Xu has a bad temper or his relationship with Mo Fushan is not very good. He doesn't restrain his arrogance in front of Mo Fushan. Isn't this stealing the show?

"I didn't expect you to be so young. I heard that you haven't even graduated from college yet. I didn't believe it at the time... I didn't expect it to be true. To be chosen from so many people, you must have some extraordinary abilities."

When I heard his words, I immediately felt something was wrong. Although at first glance it sounded like he was praising me, his tone did not contain any praise at all.

"I can't say I have extraordinary abilities. It's just luck that I can become Yu Han's tutor. But Mr. Xu is so interested in tutoring. Do you also want to become a teacher after retirement?"

When I said this, I clearly noticed that his pupils shrank slightly and the natural expression on his face froze after he heard how I addressed this girl. My years of experience in dealing with people told me that he didn't seem to have a good impression of me, or I could say that I was a thorn in his side.

Of course, even if I couldn't understand the expression on his face, Xu Shang who was sitting next to him could tell me something. After all, he was not as restrained as his father. Whatever he was thinking was almost always shown on his face. After hearing my name, his face suddenly fell.

"Haha, I'm not interested at all, and I still have a long time before I retire."

Hearing his unkind words, I silently glanced at Mo Fushan beside me. He didn't express his opinion, but I could see that he was quite satisfied with what I had just said, which made me feel relieved.

But at the same time, I also began to analyze the relationship between Mo Fushan and Mr. Xu. It can be seen that although the relationship between the two is not good, it has not reached a freezing point, and they cannot be called enemies.

But on the other hand... Mo Fushan is indulging me in taking the lead. Thinking about what Uncle Chen said and some of Xu Shang and Mr. Xu's actions, I suddenly had a guess in my mind, although it was only a rough guess...

But this is not important. What is important is to find the role I play here and the position I need to express.

As I was thinking this, Xu Shang seemed to have found his father to rely on. He sat on the sofa and stared at me intently. Mr. Xu coughed twice and then asked him:

"What did you talk about along the way?"

Mr. Xu obviously wanted to seize the initiative in the topic. After hearing what he said, Xu Shang also understood what he meant and took over the conversation, saying in high spirits:

"We were just talking about—"

"Well, we were just talking about my alma mater, um... Jinhai University, which was called a 'third-rate university' by the noble young master."

Seeing this, I interrupted Xu Shang and then suddenly interjected with something.

When Mr. Xu heard what I said, his face suddenly turned livid, while Xu Shang looked confused, as if he didn't know why I interrupted him and said that.

What is virtual is real, what is real is virtual.

If you ask who here has the closest relationship with Jinhai University, it is not me, a sophomore, but Mo Fushan...

A board member of Jinhai University.

"Really?"

At this moment, Mo Fushan, who had been sitting aside drinking tea silently, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, then turned to look at me and replied with a smile.

Although he seemed to be talking to me, I could clearly feel that his words were not directed at me, but at Mr. Xu who was sitting opposite me.

This made me feel slightly relieved. Otherwise, if Mr. Xu actually had a good relationship with Mo Fushan, then I would have made a big mistake.

However, since Mo Fushan was asking me instead of asking Xu Shang or Mr. Xu directly, it means that although their relationship is not good, it has not reached the point of breaking up.

After hearing what Mo Fushan said, Mr. Xu's face suddenly turned ugly. He reached out and patted Xu Shang's head, then shouted at him unhappily:

"You little brat, I always tell you to read more but you just won't listen! Jinhai University is one of the best schools in the country, and Teacher Lin is considered a top student in the country. What's more... Jinhai University is sponsored by your Uncle Mo!"

After hearing what Mr. Xu said, Xu Shang felt a little unconvinced and seemed to want to say something, but Mr. Xu glared at him and glared back.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mo... I'll discipline this brat when I get back. Xiao Shang... Come on, apologize to your Uncle Mo."

After Mr. Xu finished speaking, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes and look at me, the "culprit". There was a cold light flashing in his eyes and his face was a little gloomy, but he still pretended to be calm.

After hearing what Mr. Xu said, Xu Shang was about to stand up and apologize, but was interrupted by Mo Fushan who was sitting next to me. He picked up the teacup that had just been placed on the table and said with a smile:

"You don't need to apologize to me. It's just a joke between young people...it's normal to joke around."

Mo Fushan took a sip of the tea in the cup while speaking, and I couldn't help but sigh that old ginger is still wise. Experience tells me... Although Mo Fushan's words implied forgiveness, he didn't mean that the matter was over.

Because what he said was not "no need to apologize" but "no need to apologize to me". This textual detail is very subtle and it brings the question back to me, the initiator of this topic.

While not being labeled as a bully of the younger generation, he also acted like a "fox borrowing the power of the tiger" to build up my momentum in front of President Xu.

After hearing what Mo Fushan said, Mr. Xu's eyes showed a few gleams of light and regret, and then he turned his head and shouted at Xu Shang, who was just about to sit down and acted as if nothing had happened:

"Xiao Shang, apologize to Teacher Lin."

"Ah? I...why should I apologize to him!"

After hearing what Mr. Xu said, Xu Shang didn't understand the meaning at all. Instead, he started yelling at Mr. Xu with a look of grievance. Seeing this, I didn't say anything and just watched the show silently.

Mo Yuhan frowned when she saw this, as if she felt it was a bit noisy. She covered her dizzy head with her hands, then slowly leaned on my shoulder.

Xu Shang was so angry that his nose was crooked when he saw that he had assisted me. When Mr. Xu saw Mo Yuhan leaning on my shoulder and his son shouting, his face suddenly turned extremely livid.

His originally calm expression slowly collapsed at this moment, and Mo Fushan closed his eyes, took a sip of the tea in the cup, and after drinking it, he couldn't help smacking his lips, shaking his head and smiling slightly.

I don't know whether he was happy because the tea in the cup was good, or because he was amused by the scene in front of him.

"Cough cough!"

Mr. Xu coughed twice, then kicked Xu Shang, frowned and looked at him unhappily. Seeing this, Xu Shang didn't dare to say anything anymore. He was about to sit on the sofa and apologize to me, but was kicked by Mr. Xu again.

Finally, Xu Shang reluctantly stood up from the sofa, bowed to me and apologized.

"sorry."

"Well, pay attention next time."

After Xu Shang heard what I said, his face turned blue and purple with anger, but in the end, due to Mr. Xu's gaze, he took a deep breath and then looked at me viciously.

When I saw this, I pretended not to see it. Then I changed my posture and let Mo Yuhan rest her head on my shoulder, which made me feel a little more comfortable.

"Mr. Mo, you really found an 'excellent' tutor."

When Mr. Xu saw Mo Yuhan, who was resting her head on my shoulder and looking a little drowsy, he couldn't help but snort coldly and spoke slowly to Mo Fushan in a gloomy tone.

"Haha, things like tutoring... I don't think it matters whether the tutor is outstanding or not, as long as Xiaohan thinks it's suitable."

Mo Fushan spoke in a somewhat subtle tone, placing the empty teacup on the coffee table in front of him and tapping the table rhythmically with his fingers.

"Xiao Han is almost an adult, and she can make many decisions on her own. She doesn't need us as parents to make decisions for her."

Although I felt that Mo Fushan was just responding to Mr. Xu's words, but for some reason, his words sounded so strange to me.

If you don't know the tone, you might think they are choosing a son-in-law...

After hearing what Mo Fushan said, Mr. Xu's face became a little gloomy. He did not comment on what Mo Fushan said. At this time, the sound of a car engine was heard outside the door of the back hall.

I turned my head and saw a black luxury car slowly parked outside the door. Mr. Xu stood up slowly and then said to Mo Fushan slowly:

"My driver is here. Mr. Mo, I'll be leaving first. I have a meeting this afternoon that I need to attend. Of course... I hope you can consider my proposal."

Mr. Xu straightened his clothes, then slowly stood up and pushed the door open to leave. Seeing this, Xu Shang also followed Mr. Xu out of the back hall. However, before leaving, he took advantage of Mo Fushan leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed to look at me with gritted teeth.

This made me feel a little puzzled, and when Mo Fushan heard the sound of the car driving away outside, he couldn't help but sit up and said to me slowly:

"Let's go too."

After I heard what Mo Fushan said, I slowly stood up as well, and then asked Mo Yuhan beside me softly:

"How's it going? Can you still stand up?"

"Ah."

Mo Yuhan nodded, then took my arm and stood up shakily from the sofa. I was afraid that she would fall, so I quickly reached out and put my hand on her shoulder, but I quickly realized something very important.

That is...Mofu Mountain is still next to us!!!

Thinking of this, I swallowed my saliva and looked stiffly at Mofushan who was standing not far from me. The scene in front of me made my heart skip a beat.

Because in front of me...Mo Fushan was touching his chin, looking straight at me, seeing everything that had just happened, with no joy or sadness in his eyes.

But if I were to describe Mofushan's current state, then...

"Teacher Lin, it seems... we need to talk."

Chapter 236 Compromise

After hearing what Mo Fushan said, I sighed inwardly. It is a blessing, not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided. Although I had expected that Mo Fushan would talk to me, after I really heard what he said, my heart still twitched for no reason.

As Mo Fushan finished speaking, there was a sound of wheels rolling at the door. I turned my head and found that Uncle Chen was driving the low-key Volvo towards us.

"Xiao Han, get in the car with Uncle Chen first."

Mo Fushan's voice rang beside his ears, and Uncle Chen parked the car, got out of the driver's seat, and slowly walked towards Mo Yuhan.

Although this girl was a little confused and her mind was a little dazed compared to usual, she didn't know whether it was the cold wind blowing in from outside the restaurant that blew away some of her drunkenness, or whether it was just her instinct.

After hearing what Mo Fushan said and seeing Uncle Chen walking towards us, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and hugged my arm tightly, as if she didn't want to let me leave.

I was both touched and embarrassed when I saw this. After all, both Uncle Chen and Mo Fushan were watching here. Uncle Chen didn't say anything when he saw this, and there was no special expression on his face. He just stretched out his hand towards Mo Yuhan, motioning her to get in the car.

Mo Fushan folded his arms, observing the situation carefully, and for the first time, I saw a sigh and a little distress on his face.

But no matter what, I still understood what Mo Fushan meant, which was that some things were not convenient for anyone other than me to hear, and even Uncle Chen was excluded.

Seeing Mo Yuhan looking at me with a bit of worry and uneasiness in her eyes, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and then whispered to her:

"It's okay, don't worry, teacher, I can handle it."

After I finished speaking, I pulled my arm free, patted her shoulder gently, and gave her a reassuring look. Although the girl wanted to say something, she still listened to me and finally let go of the hand that was holding the corner of my clothes.

I wasn't trying to show off when I said this. After all, Mo Fushan had just stood up for me so firmly in front of outsiders. It's impossible for him to just chase me away after the outsiders leave, right?

So although I was a little nervous, I wasn't panic-stricken.

Just as I was thinking this, she handed the coat she was wearing back to me. I took the coat that exuded a faint fruity scent and put it on. Then I returned the gauze dress on my arm and her cell phone to her.

To be honest, the feel of these phone cases are all similar. Plus, these days all phones use full-screen displays, and the front looks almost the same when the screen is closed. If it weren’t for the different colors of our phone cases, I really wouldn’t be able to tell our phones apart for a moment.

My phone case is black with gold patterns, and this girl's phone case is white with gold patterns. The only difference is that the pattern on my phone case is an ancient forest picture, while hers is an ancient sea picture with a beautifully printed fish on it.

It looks like these two phone cases are a pair, and Mo Fushan, who was standing next to me, obviously noticed this detail, but fortunately he didn't react too much.

That's true... After all, whether it's the pattern or the gold pattern on it, apart from the fact that they are of the same type, they don't contain any special meaning. But I don't know why, when I look at the gold pattern on it, I always have a very familiar feeling, but I can't tell why.

Maybe it was the sense of déjà vu caused by the difference in memory. Thinking of this, I didn’t think about it any further. After all, this kind of thing happens frequently in life.

With the sound of the engine starting, the car slowly drove away, and Mo Fushan laughed, then turned his head and slowly said to me:

"You still have the keys to the Mercedes, right?"

"Yes, yes."

After hearing what Mo Fushan said, I took out the Mercedes-Benz key from my pocket and handed it to Mo Fushan. Mo Fushan took the key and slowly pressed the button on it. Accompanied by a series of "beeping" sounds from the car, Mo Fushan and I walked towards the Mercedes-Benz.

"Get in the car."

Mo Fushan slowly opened the car door and got in. I followed suit. After all, we couldn't have a secret conversation like we did just now, sitting in the back room drinking tea and talking slowly. The relatively small and enclosed environment of the car was more suitable for discussing some secrets.

"Mr. Xu is a director of the board of directors of my group and the second largest shareholder of the group. His prestige in the group is also high. He is one of the earliest veterans who founded the Moqian Group with me."
