Chapter 649: Unexpected Visit
After hesitating for a moment, Dong Huang finally looked at her teacher and asked, “Teacher Lin, can I invite you to my home today? My parents prepared a meal to celebrate my birthday, and my mother told me that I could invite my friends over.”

Lin Muai wanted to refuse the invitation at first, but when she saw Dong Huang looking at her with hopeful eyes, she couldn’t bear to refuse her and nodded.

“Okay, then I will go get my bag first.” She said with a smile.

Upon hearing her words, Dong Huang was delighted and said, “Then I will wait for Teacher Lin at the school gate!”

“All right.”

Seeing her happy look, Lin Muai rubbed her head with a smile and walked to the teacher’s office. As a teacher, she should treat every student equally and not get too close to certain students. But when she learned about Dong Huang’s previous situation and saw that she was so cute, kind, diligent, and smart, she couldn’t help but want to be nice to her.

Just as she was deep in thought, she came to the teacher’s office. Seeing that everyone was there, she smiled at everyone and then went to get her bag. After packing up her books, she looked at her colleague and said, “Comrade, I’ll take my leave now. See you tomorrow.”

Seeing her leaving, Wang Muyang quickly picked up his bag and followed her while saying, “Teacher Lin, can we go together? I have some issues I want to discuss with you.”

Normally, Lin Muai would agree, but today she has already agreed to Dong Huang’s invitation. So, she smiled at him and said, “Teacher Wang, I’m sorry, I have some things to deal with today. Let’s discuss it next time.”

Wang Muyang was immediately disappointed after hearing her words. But seeing her questioning look, he could only smile at her and say, “It’s okay, let’s talk about it next time.”

When Lin Muai saw that he agreed, she nodded at him, left the teacher’s office, and walked towards the school gate.

Looking at her back, Wang Muyang sighed. He has been pursuing her for several years, but she has always kept her distance from him. No matter how he tried to get close to her, she always kept distancing herself from him while being polite to him, leaving him speechless and didn’t know what to do.

Seeing his dejected look, one of the teachers said, “Teacher Wang, you and Teacher Lin are from the same city, but you don’t look close at all. We all know that you have feelings for her and have been pursuing her for so many years. It’s impossible for her not to notice this. Since she doesn’t have the same feelings as you, you should let go and find another girl.”

“With your qualifications, I’m sure there are a lot of young women who are willing to marry you,” an older teacher teased him.

“Teacher Wang, you are not young anymore. How about I introduce my sister-in-law to you? Although she is a villager, she is beautiful, hard-working, and very skilled. She cooks delicious food and is also good at housework. When you marry her, you don’t have to worry about the house matters and can focus on your career,” another teacher added.

After hearing their words, Wang Muyang felt more disheartened. But, he didn’t show it on his face and just smiled stiffly while saying, “Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t want to give up yet.”

After that, he left the office without saying another word.

The other teachers looked at him and shook their heads. If there was a possibility between him and Teacher Lin, they would have been together long ago.

The fact that she kept a polite distance from him already meant that she was not interested in him. It’s a pity that Teacher Wang was too stubborn and refused to change his mind, so he wasted so many years pursuing an empty hope.

Not knowing that she once again became the talk of her colleague due to Wang Muyang, Lin Muai arrived at the school gate and saw Dong Huang and several students were there.

Seeing that her teacher was really there, Dong Huang walked up to her and said, “Teacher Lin, you are here.”

Lin Muai looked at a group of children and said, “Shall we leave now?”

Dong Huang nodded and said, “Okay!”

As they walked together, the villagers thought there was some activity at the school and didn’t pay much attention to them.

When they were approaching the Chen family’s house, Dong Li said, “Xiao Huang, you should go back with Teacher Lin and the others first. Brother will invite classmate Chen Jianmin first before going back with him.”

Hearing his words, Dong Huang nodded and reminded him, “Okay. Brother, come back quickly,”

“Mhmm.”

After they left, Dong Li walked towards the Chen family’s house and saw the yard crowded with villagers. When a villager saw him coming, he said, “Dong Li, are you coming to pay your last respects to Grandpa Chen too?”

Hearing his question, Dong Li nodded and said, “I’m also here to visit Chen Jianmin.”

The villagers looked at each other in shock when they heard what he said. They thought that after Gou Dan and Dong Li caused such a big ruckus, the two families would despise each other and would never have anything to do with each other.

Unexpectedly, the Li family not only did not hate the Chen family but also allowed Dong Li to pay his last respects to Grandpa Chen.

Not knowing that his visit made the villagers have a better impression of him and the Li family, Dong Li went to the funeral parlor.

Chen Bo, Chen Gang, and Chen Xiang were all surprised when they saw him. Watching him bow to Grandpa Chen, they didn’t know what to say.

After three bows, Dong Li walked up to them, bowed to them, and said, “Uncles, my deepest condolences.”

Chen Bo and his brothers bowed to him in return and said, “Thank you for coming, nephew.”
