RYEY -Chapter 531 Finally Waiting

Zhao Hui, of course, would not let this opportunity slip. Though he couldn’t bring her along, he ensured she would go through the proper learning process.

He wrote a check and paid her tuition upfront—after all, words must be kept.

CAN smiled wryly. He accepted students based on talent, not money. In his eyes, money was worthless; talent was a treasure, rare and precious.

“Give her these books and my early notes. By the way, can she read English and French?”

Zhao Hui’s heart sank. He didn’t know if Xiao Nuan could read foreign languages, especially French. The children had never been exposed to it, so probably not.

But he didn’t dare admit it. If she couldn’t understand, she could learn. He refused to believe that such a great country couldn’t find a teacher who knew English and French.

“Don’t worry, I’ll find her a teacher.”

CAN smiled. Language wasn’t essential for a designer, but knowing multiple languages would help her future studies.

After returning, Zhao Hui urgently looked for a teacher and suddenly remembered someone: Qian Longxin, the daughter of the Qian family. This girl had been fluent in English since childhood…

As for French, her father had studied in France before, and as a man who had always valued his children’s education, Old Qian would naturally make sure his child learned French.

Qian Longxin had been having a rough time lately. After finally getting into a relationship, she discovered that her partner was not only a playboy but also a skilled cheater.

All those years of emotional investment went down the drain. She was heartbroken and even didn’t want to go to class anymore, terrified of being ridiculed.

Qian Longkun saw this and felt anxious. His only younger sister had shared hardships with him in Xiangyang Village—there was no way he would let her be bullied.

After giving that cheating playboy a good beating, the two families completely fell out. Both were prominent families in the capital, but the cheater’s family had no choice but to swallow the humiliation.

The main reason was that Qian Longkun had already married Zhao Qijun, Zhao Hui’s only daughter. Their family was extremely wealthy, and no one dared to oppose them.

“Brother Kun, why not let my sister visit Cheng Qiao for a change of heart? My dad is looking for a foreign language tutor for Xiao Nuan, and Longxin can help.”

“We haven’t seen Cheng Qiao and Brother Huan in a long time. Let’s go together and visit them.”

“Uh, I can’t leave the shop, so I won’t go. Let Longxin go with my dad instead.”

Zhao Qijun didn’t want Qian Longkun to know about Li Huan; this was something the Zhao family kept strictly private, even from the Qians.

Qian Longkun thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Since he had already gotten into trouble by beating someone up, he ought to behave; otherwise, it would be difficult for his parents.

When Qian Longxin learned that Xiao Nuan needed a foreign language tutor, she immediately resigned from her job and hurriedly followed Zhao Hui to Liangzhou.

When she saw Cheng Qiao, she could hardly believe her eyes. After all these years, this girl hadn’t aged a bit.

Touching the wrinkles at her own eyes, Qian Longxin thought of all the injustices she had suffered and suddenly hugged Cheng Qiao, sobbing loudly. Her cries drew Cuihua and her husband over immediately.

“Longxin, is it really you? Are you married?”

Seeing Qian Longxin’s eyes shining, Cuihua thought of Ermao, who had always liked this girl. If she weren’t married, Ermao had to come quickly.

“Aunt Cuihua, hello. What are you doing here?”

“My little girl married here, and I’m helping Qiao manage the family farm. By the way, why are you here?”

“I’m… here to clear my mind.”

“Oh, did your man bully you?”

“What? I’m not married yet.”

Cuihua felt relieved. She nudged Chen Weidang, who this time was clever enough to laugh it off and head straight for the post office.

Of course, the family farm had a phone, but Chen Weidang disliked taking advantage of others, so he still went to the post office to call Ermao, telling him to hurry over.

Qian Longxin was completely unaware of Cuihua and her husband’s plan. She poured out all her grievances in front of Cheng Qiao, including the unfair relationship she had suffered.

“Longxin, you should thank that cheating playboy. Otherwise, if you only realized it after marriage, that would have been the real loss.”

“That’s right. Thinking this way opens my mind. Hmph, there are plenty of other fish in the sea. I will definitely find my true love.”

“That’s the right attitude. Do you know French? If so, please teach my daughter English and French. I’ll pay the tuition.”

“Of course, though French isn’t as smooth as English. But teaching a blank slate is enough.”

Qian Longxin stayed at the family farm. She ran with Xiao Nuan every day, helped Cuihua manage the farm during the day, and taught foreign languages to the two children at night.

“Aunt Cuihua, this is the life I’ve always wanted. Blue skies, white clouds, the wind across the pasture with cows and sheep, and outside the farm, bustling crowds, full of energy—it’s truly invigorating.”

Cuihua smiled quietly. She had already heard that Ermao, upon learning that Qian Longxin was at Cheng Qiao’s family farm, had rushed there as fast as possible.

As soon as Ermao got off the train, he took the public bus straight to the farm. Zhao Hui had specially opened a route from the train station to the family farm.

This bus was the most crowded of all routes. Everyone wanted to buy meat, and some even wanted chicks, ducklings, calves, piglets, and lambs.

“Brother Huan and Cheng Qiao are amazing, managing to grow their business to this level.”

Ermao’s admiration for Cheng Qiao and Li Huan was endless. But when he arrived at the farm, a fierce wolf glared at him, scaring him half to death.

“Ermao, what are you doing here?”

Qian Longxin ran over excitedly. She missed her old friend dearly.

“Longxin, sorry… can I call you that?”

“Of course. Wang Zai, this is Ermao from Xiangyang Village. Cheng Qiao knows him too.”

Wang Zai circled Ermao once and returned to his wooden house. Only then did Ermao realize his back was soaked.

“What are you doing here?”

“If I said I wanted to marry you, would you believe me?”

“Of course.”

“Then… will you marry me? My betrothal gift is one thousand yuan, all my savings over the years. My mom said everything at home will be mine in the future—it will be yours too.”

Qian Longxin stared at Ermao. All the memories of the past came flooding back—the way he used to circle around her, secretly bringing her food, looking shy and earnest…

“Ermao, you…”

Qian Longxin couldn’t finish. She realized that there was truly someone in the world willing to wait for her with such deep affection. So what was she waiting for?
