After divorcing the mute girl, President Gu knelt down and begged for reconciliation.

Chapter 123 So Similar
Song Chaochao uttered a dissatisfied cry, only to be glared at by Liu Qin.

After the uninvited mother and daughter left, things finally returned to normal.

……

In the afternoon, the tutor interview arranged by Wei Zhou took place as scheduled.

The first one to arrive was a sweet-looking girl. Song Jin'an brought Gu Hetang out so that the two could get to know each other first. If the child didn't mind, they could move on to the next interview.

Gu Hetang was still young and quite liked pretty older women, so he treated this interviewee with a fairly good liking.

After playing for half an hour, Song Jin'an moved her into the teaching session. Actually, Song Jin'an always felt that the child was too young to be involved in such an intense activity, and she was afraid that Gu Hetang would not be able to adapt.

Perhaps because of the high-quality genes of a human like Gu Xijue, Gu Hetang's performance was quite good.

But as a mother, Song Jin'an found it difficult to be a strict mother, especially since Gu Hetang was a child she had given birth to with great difficulty.

Even though she was quite talented in academics and art, Gu Hetang started crying after a short while. Her demeanor changed drastically, and she no longer wanted to be close to the sweet aunt. Instead, she kept snuggling into Song Jin'an's arms.

Song Jin'an looked at Gu Hetang, her eyes seeming to ask, "What's wrong?"
Gu Hetang sobbed, her eyes brimming with tears: "It hurts!"

Just then, the sweet-looking girl looked at Song Jin'an apologetically and explained what had just happened: "Miss misspelled a word, so I tapped it lightly with a pencil lead."

This is a very frank statement, because in elite education, punishment is commonplace.

For progress to come, there will inevitably be consequences; this is unavoidable.

Even elite families abroad use this model of educating their children; the idea of ​​"happy education" is just a way to fool the poor.

Song Jin'an frowned, genuinely disagreeing, and typed out a line on her phone for her to see.

—I may not be a good fit for your educational approach. Sorry, my trial period is over.

After saying that, she asked Lin Ma to take out a large red envelope, which was her trial salary for today. Song Jin'an had prepared it in advance.

Gu Hetang's eyes were swollen, as if it was the first time he had received such treatment. An hour after the first tutor left, the second one appeared.

Song Jin'an had given up all hope, and Gu Hetang also looked slightly distressed.

Song Jin'an then wondered if she had made a mountain out of a molehill. Sometimes it's not a bad thing for children to learn from setbacks.

While she was still wondering if she had done the right thing, a voice suddenly appeared.

"Hello Mrs. Gu, I'm here to apply for a tutor position. My name is Yu Yousheng."

Upon hearing this, Song Jin'an's thoughts were pulled back. She looked up at the job applicant who had just finished introducing himself, and her eyes widened in surprise.

This face does indeed resemble the woman in that photo; it even bears some resemblance to her…

Song Jin'an nodded and said in voice message, "Hello."

The little guy seemed to like Yu Yousheng even more when he was with Gu Hetang; there was a natural affinity between them.

He changed his mood from being unhappy and started playing.

The little girl's face was flushed with excitement as she played finger games; she was already captivated by the tutor who had come to apply for the job.

Looking at Gu Hetang's smile, Song Jin'an also smiled faintly.

When it came to the tutoring stage, she was able to effectively engage Gu Hetang's emotions. Although the little guy didn't talk much, he could express himself using his hands and mouth, and even his hands and feet.

It was also Yu Yousheng who managed to keep Gu Hetang focused for half an hour.

Song Jin'an also stopped nearby. She was able to convey knowledge in a way that a one-and-a-half-year-old child could understand, so that the child could accept and absorb it.

Very good, she has finalized the appointment of Yu Yousheng as Gu Hetang's tutor. When the time came, Song Jin'an typed on her phone again: "When can you come to work?"

Yu Yousheng smiled and said, "Anytime."

"Your academic background is impressive, so why did you choose to become a tutor?" Song Jin'an asked casually, though the phone, devoid of emotion, spoke in a cold, questioning tone.

Yu Yousheng glanced at Song Jin'an, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever, and smiled with his eyes crinkling: "I've always liked children."

"Why did you choose to return to China to develop your career?" Song Jin'an asked again, seemingly casually.

“I have family in China, so I chose to return to China to develop my career after graduating with my doctorate,” Yu Yousheng said frankly.

Moreover, she didn't think there was anything wrong with teaching children. It only took two or three hours of class time each day, and it was one-on-one tutoring. The annual salary was also quite good, and it was even more comfortable than going back to China to take the civil service exam.

"Okay, I understand." Song Jin'an's expression was flat, but her hand holding the phone was turning white.

"Then I'll go home and wait for your call."

After Yu Yousheng finished speaking, he prepared to turn around and leave.

Song Jin'an, however, held her phone and watched her walk to the door before standing up, the phone continuing to play sound.

"Miss Yu, I have something I want to ask you."

Yu Yousheng turned around and looked at her: "Mrs. Gu, please speak."

Song Jin'an took a deep breath, walked up to her, and this time did not run away. She quickly typed on her phone, but her chest heaved and her fingers trembled slightly: "Don't you think we're a lot alike?"

Yu Yousheng paused for a moment, seemingly puzzled. After thinking for a few seconds, he uttered a few words with unusual seriousness: "No, right?"

Then she looked at Song Jin'an a few more times: "But my mother said I've always had a common face since I was little, and I probably look like everyone."

Song Jin'an refuted her point of view for the first time, shaking her head, and then gestured to Lin Ma, who was holding Gu Hetang.

—Don't let her leave, go upstairs and get something.

Lin's mother understood immediately and tried to persuade him to stay: "Teacher Yu, please wait a moment."

When Song Jin'an held the photo in her hand, her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. She walked up to Yu Yousheng, placed the photo in her hand, and then typed on her phone.

"do you know her?"

Yu Yousheng stared at the photo for a few seconds, then handed it back to Song Jin'an and shook his head: "Mrs. Gu, I don't know the lady in this photo."

Her statement that she didn't know him calmed Song Jin's initial excitement.

Holding the photo, he gave a somewhat forced smile.

"Excuse me."

They both look somewhat like the woman in this photo.

Yu Yousheng noticed that she seemed a little downcast, but he didn't say anything. He simply said, "Mrs. Gu, may I go now?"

Song Jin'an nodded, and Yu Yousheng left, her eyes still fixed on the photo.

She shook her head; she was probably overthinking it...

How could it be such a coincidence? She stroked the photo, stunned. Maybe she really really does have an average face.

Lin's mother knew the reason for the situation, so she didn't say anything and let her process it herself...
