If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 24: I Don’t Like Him

“Li Beiting is your Second Uncle?”

The form teacher was a crafty middle-aged lady. The moment she saw Yu Weiwei walk in, she pushed her spectacles up her nose.

Yu Weiwei came to a realization. She instantly understood what was going on.

Li Beiting had once donated money to their school. He was quite an important person.

To be honest, Yu Weiwei’s family had no connections with Li Beiting. Although Yu Weiwei’s family home was located opposite Fairview Country, they were separated by a street. The value of their houses differed by a lot.

“Indeed, Li Beiting is my Second Uncle. He said that he was free today. He will make a visit.” Yu Weiwei smiled.

“I will let him know about how you read magazines in class. However, if you’re willing to admit your mistake and made amends in the future, I believe that you will be able to make it into a good university.”

“Thank you for your trust, ma’am. In the future, I won’t make these kind of mistakes again. I will be attentive in class and take notes diligently.”

“Mmm, you can also ask me questions if there are any areas you do not understand. I will definitely guide you. As your teacher, I like hardworking students who possess a desire to learn.”

Xu Zhaomu stood on the side feeling like a third wheel. Since when had the form teacher become such a sweet talker?

She recalled how she had been punished and made to run at least ten laps the last time she’d made a mistake with Yu Weiwei.

“Xu Zhaomu!”

The form teacher suddenly remembered that there was another person involved in this incident.

“I’m here!”

“Where are your parents?”

“Form teacher, I’m sure that you know. My parents are no longer around. It’s been this way since I was young,” Xu Zhaomu answered indifferently.

“Then where is your guardian?”

“My guardian, ah, he’s very busy. He’s busy earning money to raise me.”

“No matter how busy he is, he can’t neglect your education. Take a look at yourself. You’re an incompetent, unskilled person. You form cliques and collude with others in class. You even dared to bring those magazines to class and pass them to others to read.”

The form teacher slammed the confiscated magazine onto the table.

Xu Zhaomu cast a glance at it. She caught sight of the female celebrity’s pretty face on the front cover.

“Unfortunately, my brother is just too busy. My family is so poor that my brother hasn’t even gotten married yet, for my sake. I didn’t dare to make him worried over my studies. He starts the day early and goes to bed late. I feel so sorry whenever I look at him.”

Xu Zhaomu purposely squeezed out two teardrops.

“Your family is so poor that your brother hasn’t gotten married yet?”

The moment Xu Zhaomu said this, sonorous laughter could be heard from the doorway.

All the people in the conference room glanced over simultaneously. Xu Zhaomu was the first to cover her face.

Li Beiting had snuck into the room with no fanfare.

The form teacher hurriedly stood up from her chair. She walked over to Li Beiting to welcome him into the room.

“Mr. Li, nice to meet you. I’m sorry for worrying you.”

The form teacher stretched out her hand in an attempt to shake hands with Li Beiting. However, Li Beiting merely nodded his head as an acknowledgement. He did not shake her hand. On the contrary, he glanced at Xu Zhaomu and giggled.

“Zhaomu, if your brother can’t find a wife, you should just marry him instead.”

This was the funniest joke Li Beiting had ever heard. If he conveyed this to Shen Chi, how would he react?

He tried his utmost to hold back his laughter. Alas, this girl was too innocent.

Within C City, every single cunning woman who possessed an ounce of good looks would have tried their best to climb into Shen Chi’s bed.

Shen Chi was young, handsome, mature, and promising. He maintained control over the Shen Family Group. However, he was still unwed.

“I don’t like him.” Xu Zhaomu pursed her lips and scoffed in disdain.

Shen Chi had thrown her manga out, he’d refused to let her wear miniskirts, and had spent entire days bullying her. Now, he’d even said that her chest was small. He had such a bad temper. She definitely didn’t like him.

The smile on Li Beiting’s face became even wider. This was the first time he’d ever seen someone despise Shen Chi.

He noticed the utter disdain in Xu Zhaomu’s little eyes.

Standing on the sidelines, the form teacher had no idea what was going on. This Li Beiting appeared quite familiar with Xu Zhaomu…?

Yu Weiwei tugged at Li Beiting’s sleeves. “Second Uncle, please beg for mercy on behalf of Xu Zhaomu and me. In the future, we won’t read magazines anymore.”

Li Beiting glanced at Yu Weiwei. “What kind of magazine was this interesting?”

The form teacher smiled. “Weiwei has already admitted her mistake just now. I also believe that repentance is a good thing. Since she has promised not to read magazines in the future, Mr. Li can rest assured.”

To be honest, Yu Weiwei really wanted to get her magazine back. She hadn’t finished reading it, and it had cost .

She collaborated with Xu Zhaomu as they inched their way toward the side of the conference table.

When the form teacher wasn’t paying attention, Yu Weiwei took the opportunity to tug at the magazine.

However, the moment she touched the magazine, a large hand reached over and grabbed the magazine before her.

Yu Weiwei stared hatefully and angrily at Li Beiting.

“Is this the kind of magazine that you two found so interesting?” Li Beiting teased them as he picked up the magazine.

However, when he caught sight of the woman on the front cover, his expression instantly stiffened.

He stared at the cover for a few whole minutes.

Xu Zhaomu watched with disdain. Just as she’d expected, men were all despicable creatures. The woman on the magazine was merely possessed of a slightly pretty face. Her chest was a little bigger and her waist was a little slenderer, that’s all.

Was she really so great to the extent that he had to stare so fixedly?

Yu Weiwei also watched with disdain.

She thought the same as Xu Zhaomu. Men were all despicable creatures.

On the side, the form teacher continued to speak, “Mr. Li, please wait here for a moment. I heard the principal mention that he wanted to speak to you for a minute.”

“No need, let’s just talk about Yu Weiwei and Xu Zhaomu. Once we’ve finished, I’ll take my leave.” Li Beiting held the magazine in his hand.

“Weiwei’s attitude is commendable. She knows when to admit her mistakes when she is wrong. I believe that she will amend her ways. This child is intelligent. I will get her teachers to pay more attention to her. You can rest assured.”

“She’s intelligent? No, she’s only smart when it comes to petty matters.” Li Beiting publicly uncovered Yu Weiwei’s act.

“Li Beiting! If I’m not intelligent, then are you saying that you are intelligent?” Yu Weiwei instantly countered.

The form teacher was shocked out of her wits. Even the principal didn’t dare to address Mr. Li by his full name. What’s more, this girl was Li Beiting’s relative. She was too bold.

Li Beiting harrumphed coldly. He didn’t respond to her.

The form teacher continued, “As for this Xu Zhaomu, she’s not very obedient. I asked her to call her guardians, but she refused. I’m planning to switch Weiwei’s seat and forbid Xu Zhaomu from being her desk mate.”

Li Beiting harrumphed coldly once more. Why was this form teacher so snobbish?

Shen Chi was the largest stockholder of this private school. He had merely donated a small sum of money.

“No way, no way!” Yu Weiwei was the first to resist. “I don’t want to switch seats. I’m so close to Xu Zhaomu, why would I want to switch seats? I don’t agree. Second Uncle, I don’t agree!”

The form teacher persuaded her patiently. “Weiwei, this is for your own good. Haven’t I taught you that the friends you make shape your character? Xu Zhaomu doesn’t strive to improve. You definitely cannot learn from her. You still have potential.”

“Second Uncle, I don’t agree!” Yu Weiwei tugged at Li Beiting’s clothes.

Li Beiting’s lips slipped into a smile. He patted her cheeks.

He liked her currently. She was being very obedient.

“Don’t worry, I won’t switch your seats. I’ll switch your form teacher.”

The form teacher’s eyes got wide with shock. What had Li Beiting just said?

“Mr. Li, you… What do you mean?”

Li Beiting casually stuffed his hand into his pocket. He threw a glance at the form teacher indifferently. “I don’t think that you can teach Weiwei and Zhaomu well. That’s all I meant.”

“Mr. Li, you must be joking.” The form teacher attempted to ridicule what he had said. “I’m doing this for Weiwei. It’s not my first day being their form teacher. I can immediately tell if a student has potential or the desire to learn. The friends you make shape your character. It’s not like you haven’t heard of this saying.”
