Chapter 90

Chen Jie found it strange and picked up the phone.

"Is this Chen Jie?" A strange female voice came from the phone.

"Who are you?" Chen Jie felt a bit puzzled.

"I... I got your number from Siyu... I'm Manluo..." the female voice said timidly.

Manluo? Isn't she the little girl who was bullied and had her photos taken?

"Oh, is there something you need?" Chen Jie asked, but he already had a pretty good idea of what was going on.

"Actually... I wanted to thank you in person. Can I treat you to a meal? I asked Siyu, and she said Ruochen will be with her, so you don't need to protect her. Ruochen is very capable..."

Manluo's voice was soft and timid, like a frightened kitten.

Chen Jie found it a bit amusing: he had just felt that Liu Yan had gone too far and helped her out.

"Sorry, I'm out right now and still driving. It's a small matter, no need to bother with it," Chen Jie said.

"But... but... I invited you, how can you... refuse?"

Has this girl never been refused before?

Chen Jie thought for a moment and felt that outright rejection might not be appropriate.

"Alright, I have something to do now, but I'll be free in an hour and a half. Is that okay?"

"Sure, sure! Great! Let's go to 'Ju Xiang Yuan' on Tianfu Avenue, okay? I heard the food there is really good!" Upon hearing Chen Jie's agreement, Manluo immediately cheered up.

"Alright, I'll be there on time." Chen Jie hung up the phone, stepped on the gas, and headed towards Guoteng School.

When he arrived at the school gate, Chen Jie didn't enter the school but turned a corner and went through the staff entrance.

This was where the teachers of Guoteng lived.

Guoteng's generosity was evident here: each building was a two- or three-story villa, each with three parking spaces, extremely luxurious, and at least fifty meters apart, arranged in a staggered manner.

Guoteng's campus was in the suburbs, which allowed it to occupy a large area and use it freely, indirectly demonstrating the school's financial strength and status.

Following the address given by Ouyang Xiaoxin, Chen Jie found her villa: a two-story, smaller but very exquisite villa.

The villa was the standard blue of Guoteng. As soon as Chen Jie parked his car, Ouyang Xiaoxin was standing at the door, waving at him.

"You came really fast. You must be a good driver, huh?"

Ouyang Xiaoxin's voice was still like a cat's claws on the heart, soft and gentle. Chen Jie took out his notebook and smiled bitterly: the charming teacher was right; having her help with his studies would be no less challenging than competing with an equally matched opponent.

"Alright... I have a lot of questions to ask you."

Ouyang Xiaoxin smiled as she took the notebook Chen Jie handed her and almost bent over laughing!

"My goodness... what did you learn in elementary and middle school? Did you not go to school for the past ten years? You don't even understand such simple questions?"

"I... my foundation isn't very good," Chen Jie couldn't explain well and just fumbled through it.

"Alright, alright, I thought you wanted to... Now I understand, you really do need a lot of tutoring!"

Hearing this, Chen Jie realized that Ouyang Xiaoxin had thought he was trying to get closer to her!

"Alright, come in!"
