Chapter 339 Introducing the Wolf

Chapter 339 Introducing the Wolf
That night, after eavesdropping on her parents' quarrel, Catherine hurried back to her room for fear of being discovered by her parents.

"Catherine, what have you been doing?" Arabella sat up from her bed, staring sleepily at her sister's bed.

"Woke you up? I'm sorry, I just went to the bathroom." Catherine slipped back into bed, "Go on to sleep, it's still early before dawn."

"But isn't there a toilet in the house?"

Arabella was not easily fooled, she could hear Catherine coming back from outside.

"About this... I'll tell you tomorrow, go to sleep now. Shhh!"

Catherine heard footsteps in the corridor, and guessed that her father or mother came over to check if the sisters had kicked off the quilt while sleeping. She hurriedly told her sister to stop asking, and pulled the quilt over her head.

Arabella, who always obeyed her sister, lay down and continued to sleep.

A few seconds later, the door was gently pushed open, and a light came in from the corridor. The mother poked her head and saw that the two daughters seemed to be sleeping soundly, so she closed the door and left.

Arabella fell asleep easily. She was a child after all—although Catherine was only two and a half years older than her sister, she considered herself a half-adult. Thinking of the school my mother mentioned, looking forward to the school life in the future.

Sure enough, from the next day, my mother began to look for suitable Chinese teacher candidates, and my father began to look up the relevant information of Hongye College - he thought he was already a rich man in the local area, but he didn't know if he didn't check. I was shocked, the sponsorship fee of Hongye Academy was so high that even his family could hardly afford it, because wine is a business with a long capital cycle, from planting, grape ripening, brewing, cellaring, transportation, sales, to the seller The cycle of rebates often lasts for several years, and he can't afford that much cash at once, which is one of the reasons why he is afraid of his daughter being kidnapped.

Fortunately, Catherine is not going to school right away, at least there are still a few months to turn over cash.

Although it is also possible to pass the honors exam without paying the sponsorship fee, he knows that Catherine has not even attended a day of school, so it is impossible to pass the exam.

"Catherine? Catherine? Catherine, where are you?"

As long as Catherine doesn't go out and run wild, Arabella will always cling to Catherine like a follower at home.

"Shh! This way!"

Catherine stuck her head out of her father's study.

"Catherine, what are you doing in Dad's study?" Arabella wondered, because Catherine never liked reading very much.

"Hush! You'll know when you come here!" Catherine urged.

When Arabella also entered the study, she took her sister's hand and placed it on a spherical object.

"Globe?" Arabella sensitively touched it.

"Huh? Have you ever played?" Catherine originally wanted to surprise her sister, but Arabella knew what it was.

"Well, my mother used it when she taught me geography." Arabella nodded.

This globe is a gift from someone else to my father. It is very expensive and handmade. It not only marks the land of each country, but also highlights the major mountains and plateaus around the world in relief on the surface of the globe. Basins, great lakes, Rivers and oceans are sunken into the surface so beautifully that even the blind can use it to understand the geography of the world.

"Okay, I'm going to tell you a secret, don't tell it! Maybe in a few months, I'm going to go to a distant western country to go to school. It's a school called Hongye College, in the middle of the vast ocean. Further west...well, here it is." Catherine placed her sister's finger somewhere on the globe.

Arabella touched it and said doubtfully, "Isn't this India? Hongye Academy doesn't seem to be here, does it?"

"Ah? Is that so?" Catherine was taken aback. She only knew that Hongye College was located in a country west of the ocean. She searched across the Pacific Ocean from Chile in the southern hemisphere to the west, and barely found India near the equator.

"Wait! Do you know Hongye Academy?" She was surprised again. She planned to show off her foresight to her younger sister, but her younger sister knew everything.

"My mother mentioned it when she told me about geography, but she didn't go into details. She only said that there are several mysterious schools in the world, including here, here, here... and here." Arabella fumbled for the globe, and the little girl The small fingers slid across the Dongying Islands, Huaxia Shenzhou, Armenia border and other areas one by one.

"That's it..." Catherine had a fever on her face, but fortunately, her sister couldn't see it—she seemed to have learned a lot when she was playing crazy outside every day, shouldn't she also stay in the house to learn a little more? What about knowledge?Otherwise Arabella looks like a sister...

"Catherine, why do you go to school so far away? Do you think I'm annoying?" Arabella said sadly.

"How is it possible! Don't guess! Who would find you annoying? I'm going there for two years. When it's time for you to go to school, my mother will send you there. Then we will be together again and have a holiday I'll be back sometime!"

Catherine couldn't see her sister's sad look. Once her sister was frowning, the whole world seemed to lose its luster.

Arabella was still not very happy, she didn't want to leave her sister at all at such a young age.

Catherine said it was terrible. She thought that she would be very happy if she told her about it, but now she has to find a way to make her happy.

At this time, a car honked its horn twice and stopped in the yard of the manor.

This car is specially used to pick up and drop off guests who do not come by car. After all, the farm is too big, and it is necessary to drive from the entrance of the farm to the manor.

"Arabella, we have guests!"

The study room is located on the third floor, just above the gate of the manor. Catherine heard the sound of the trumpet, and leaned her face to the window glass to look out.

A young woman stepped out of the car, wearing a lady's bowler hat and a slim retro long skirt. She looked quite elegant and beautiful, except that her skin was a little too pale.

As if sensing Catherine's gaze, she looked up at the window of the study on the third floor.

The moment Catherine met her gaze, her heart skipped a beat as if frozen, and she quickly squatted down, not daring to continue looking at her.

"What's the matter, Catherine? What did you see?" Arabella noticed her strangeness, and touched her hand worriedly, "Your hand is very cold."

"No, it's nothing, a woman I've never seen before." Catherine didn't want to be looked down upon by her younger sister, so she forced a smile, like a thief, not daring to look out of the window openly, quietly pushed the window open a small gap, squatted Eavesdropping under the window.

Mother was already standing at the door to greet her.

"Good morning, ma'am," the young woman greeted.

"Good morning, are you here to apply for a tutor?" The mother also looked her up and down. This woman was a bit younger than the mother expected. She looked like a college student at her age.

"Yes, my name is Lilith, it's an honor to serve you." Lilith took off her hat.

"I haven't decided to hire you yet." Mother frowned.

How should I put it, with such a young and beautiful girl walking around in the manor, my mother was worried that my father would not be able to control her, and that although she was well maintained, she was old and frail after all.

Lilith smiled, "It's okay, I am confident that you will change your mind, and you will find that I am the most suitable candidate for tutoring."

Mother looked at her watch, then looked in the direction of the gate of the manor.

Due to the promised high salary, three people made an appointment for an interview today, but now that the appointment time has come, the other two applicants have not yet arrived.

"Who are you waiting for?" Lilith also looked back at the gate of the manor.

"There are two more candidates for job interviews," said the mother.

"Maybe you missed the appointment? This is also a common thing." Lilith shrugged and suggested: "Why don't we start first? Maybe after a while you will know that there is no need to interview more candidates."

Mother really doesn't like people who don't keep time, because such people often mean that they are lazy, and they don't need to use any accidents on the road as an excuse. It means that things are not planned, and they are not worthy of being a teacher. If they arrive late, their mother will probably send them back directly.

"Okay, I hope your knowledge can match your self-confidence." The mother glanced at her, turned and entered the room.

Mother walked a few steps, looked back, and found that Lilith hadn't followed, and was still standing outside.

"Why don't you come in?" asked the mother.

Lilith stared at the open door, with a cross of Jesus carved on the left and right door panels.

"Did you invite me into the house?" she asked.

"Of course, are you going to stand outside for an interview?" Mother asked impatiently.

"Okay." Lilith smiled and stepped into the door.

Mother murmured softly: "If it wasn't for the bright sun outside, I would have thought you were a vampire who could only enter the house if invited by the master..."

"Pfft! Maybe it's true~" Lilith laughed.

Lilith followed behind her mother, looking at the interior decoration style and furnishings as she walked.

"You seem to be a devout believer," she said.

In almost every room and every corridor, you can see oil paintings with the theme of the Bible, and there are also a lot of crosses, from the crosses hanging on the wall to the crosses placed on the table as a display.

"Aren't you religious?" Mother asked.

"It's hard to say... Will this affect the interview result?" Lilith asked slyly, rubbing her nose.

The mother shook her head, "That's not true, I respect everyone's freedom of belief."

When passing by the corridor on the second floor, Lilith seemed to notice something, and looked up at the stairwell on the second floor.

Panic footsteps sounded, and two small figures ran away like frightened rabbits.

"Your daughter?" Lilith asked.

"Yes."

Mother led Lilith to the living room and asked her to sit on the sofa, and the maid brought refreshments.

"I wrote very clearly in the job advertisement that tutors mainly teach Chinese. They must be proficient in Chinese and must be able to speak fluent and standard Mandarin." Mother said, turning on the video recorder.

"No problem. I have traveled to many countries in the world, including China in the East. Chinese is one of the languages ​​I am best at." Lilith said this sentence in Chinese with a perfect accent, and then spoke standard English and Spanish. Repeated the phrase, and finally wrote each square character that made up the sentence neatly on the paper.

The mother was very surprised. Although she didn't know Chinese, she had done some homework beforehand. At least Lilith could write these square characters skillfully. It was obvious that she was not a beginner in Chinese.She recorded the interview process and planned to send it to the Huaxia business partners her husband knew after the interview to verify whether the pronunciation was standard and correct.

"...May I ask you something? Why do you want to teach your daughter Chinese? It's for..." Lilith glanced at the family photo on the chest of drawers, "Is it for your husband's business? Everyone says the future belongs to Asia."

"No, I plan to send my two daughters to Huaxia to study. Before that, I will give them a foundation in Chinese." The mother said truthfully.

"Oh? Which school has been decided?"

"Hongye Academy, if you have been to Huaxia, have you ever been to the city where this school is located?" Mother asked, holding up her teacup.

The smile on Lilith's face froze for a moment. To cover it up, she also picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea, but in fact she only touched the tea with her lips. Drinking such a bitter liquid would definitely make her spit it out.

"That's not true, but your child is still so young and sent so far away, will you be relieved?" Lilith put down her teacup and resumed her smile.

"I can't help it, and I can't bear it, but there is only one place where my daughters can receive a good lady education, and as you said just now, the future belongs to Asia." The mother had already made up her mind.

"That's true." Lilith thought thoughtfully.

"Catherine! Arabella! Go downstairs and say hello to the guests," said the mother, raising her voice upstairs.

Catherine was leading her younger sister to peek at the stairs just now, but after being noticed by Lilith, she switched to eavesdropping and heard her mother calling her. She really didn't want to face that woman named Lilith. Her mother yelled several times, if she If there was no response, the maid would be sent upstairs to find them, so she reluctantly dragged her younger sister downstairs.

She pulled her younger sister and stood in front of Lilith, staring down at her toes, not wanting to meet Lilith's eyes.

Mother still felt quite puzzled, why did this crazy girl suddenly change her temper?

"Wow! Your daughters are so beautiful! They are like two little angels!" Lilith exclaimed in surprise.

Similar compliments can be heard in the mother's ears, but she still loves to hear them. She has always been proud of her two daughters. It is a little regretful that the eldest daughter is too wild and the second daughter is blind.

"Say hello to the guests." Mother urged, Catherine usually has a wild temper, and has never been so reserved in front of guests.

"My name is Catherine..."

"Nice to meet you, my name is Arabella."

Lilith's eyes became brighter and brighter as if she saw some kind of peerless treasure.

"Hi, little angels, my name is Lilith."
