The teacher looked at Lin Che and pondered carefully for a bit before recalling her. He had not seen her for more than ten years, so he nearly did not recognize her.
Of course, he remembered Lin Che. Back then, Lin Li and Lin Che were both in his class. However, very few people knew that Lin Li and Lin Che were sisters. He helped Lin Li bully Lin Che fairly often, mainly because Lin Che did poorly in her studies and was even an illegitimate daughter at home. He personally did not like Lin Che either. Which teacher did not like a student with a good family background, a clean record, and good academic results? A student like Lin Che whose parents never came for parent-teacher meetings and whose results were also so terrible was destined to stay in the last row until graduation.
However, he did not expect Lin Che to actually become a celebrity after ten years.
The fact that she could qualify for the drama academy was in itself dramatic enough.
He was a little regretful that he had treated Lin Che like that back then, especially when life proved to be full of ups and downs. This girl who had been constantly bullied back then was actually standing next to the second son of the Gu family, C Nation's most powerful family.
Lin Che looked at Teacher Hu. Offhand, she really did not have a good impression of him. Her deepest impression of him was his lofty disposition and his blatant expressions of dislike towards her. Back then, it made the tender-aged Lin Che feel even more inferior for a long time.
Teacher Hu was looking at her humbly now. His face was full of obsequiousness. However, it made Lin Che momentarily feel like he had a split personality.
She looked at him and said politely, "Good to see you, Teacher."
"Eh eh, good, good," Teacher Hu said hastily.
However, Gu Jingze held Lin Che back with one arm, looked at Teacher Hu, and said, "Teacher Hu, I've often heard Lin Che mention your 'special care' towards her."
Teacher Hu shivered immediately. He looked at the corners of Gu Jingze's lips, which seemed to be lifted at a slight angle. Gu Jingze was clearly smiling but it made Teacher Hu feel a slight chill.
When Teacher Hu thought this, he said hastily to Lin Che, "Back then, I just knew that your future would definitely be very promising. That's why I was very strict with you. I hoped that you would make something of yourself. Sure enough, it looks like I judged you correctly. Back then, your older sister was in our class too. Look, now she's not as good as you. This is definitely related to the hard work you usually put in. Right now, you're more famous than her and more capable as well. Clearly, you didn't betray my hopes all these years. I'm really..."
Lin Li had come much closer to them earlier. Right now, as she heard Teacher Hu actually describe her in this manner from behind them, she was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
Back in the day, she gave this teacher numerous presents and thereafter hinted at him to punish Lin Che properly.
Now, he dared to say that she herself was not doing as well as Lin Che?
Although these days, Lin Che appeared on television pretty often...
However, the entertainment industry was always unpredictable. She had definitely still not hit it big. Who knew if all traces of her would vanish tomorrow?
Lin Che looked at Teacher Hu and suddenly thought awkwardly that her hard work could not be separated from Teacher Hu's disdain towards her back then.
Thus, when she was studying for the entrance exam for the drama academy, her results for cultural studies were a result of a spurt of real hard work. She did it precisely to show those people who looked down on her that she was not completely useless.
However, she really did not want to thank him for his "encouragement".
Teacher Hu subconsciously began to feel even more flustered upon seeing Gu Jingze constantly stare at him. He lowered his head only to see that there was something on Lin Che's shoe. He quickly asked, "Aiya, look. Why is your shoe dirty? I'll help you clean it."
Gu Jingze looked at the bodyguard at the side with a dark gaze.
Without a sound, the bodyguard inched forward.
Teacher Hu only felt his body lose its balance all of a sudden. He fell down directly and took a tumble in Lin Che's direction.
Lin Che was shocked. She felt a large hand behind her pull her away firmly and precisely. It pulled her to his side in one swift motion. Because she knew it was him, she immediately felt extremely relieved.
However, Teacher Hu was not that lucky.
He almost took a fall. From the side, the school principal and chairman looked at him and both helped him up gloomily.
