Chapter 228 Seeds of Doubt

"Grandma Yu, my professor is Cao Gaoxuan!" Su Ciliang said his teacher's name with great respect.

Yu Ruiyuan, however, let out a cold smile when she heard the name.

"So it's him!"

No wonder!

Ciliang is a talented child, but his luck is a bit poor.

With so many teachers, it would have been fine to meet any of them, but why did he have to encounter this scoundrel Cao Gaoxuan!

"Grandma Yu, is this Professor Cao problematic?" Su Xiaotian immediately asked.

Yu Ruiyuan sighed.

"This person is not dedicated to teaching or creating at heart."

"He has been trying to scheme for many years. It can be said that his current achievements are mainly due to his scheming."

"A person engaged in calligraphy and painting who cannot concentrate on creation will not achieve good results. Such a person as a teacher will also ruin students!"

Yu Ruiyuan was a proud person. Even after living in the Hongxin Brigade for several years, she remained proud.

She looked down on people like Cao Gaoxuan from the bottom of her heart.

Especially since this Cao Gaoxuan was suppressing the child he had personally trained.

Su Xiaotian looked at her second brother with sympathy, but then felt a little regretful.

Why didn't she ask about her second brother's situation at school earlier? If she had asked earlier, would she have been able to understand his situation sooner?

She was really worried that her second brother would take a long detour after this incident.

"Second Brother, I think you should still try this calligraphy and painting competition. What if you win?"

Yu Ruiyuan nodded, "Yes, you must try. Ciliang, you are much better than you think."

The first thing to do now is to rebuild Su Ciliang's confidence.

This child cannot be suppressed so silently.

If it were before, Su Ciliang might have objected, but now, he seemed to realize something.

Had he fallen into some unknown misunderstanding in the past year or so?

Otherwise, why were his little sister and Grandma Yu looking at him so seriously?

"Grandma Yu, little sister, I'll participate!"

Even if he didn't win, he would still be himself, and there would be no loss.

He would just treat it as an early trial.

Hearing Su Ciliang's answer, Su Xiaotian and Yu Ruiyuan were both greatly relieved.

Although the other brothers didn't quite understand, they were still happy for Su Ciliang.

As long as he had the courage to participate, it was not too late.

Yu Ruiyuan looked at Su Xiaotian and signaled that she needed to talk privately.

Su Xiaotian nodded knowingly.

"Grandma Yu, do you want to go see my grandmother yourself, or should I invite her over?"

"I'll go myself!" Yu Ruiyuan said and turned to leave.

Su Xiaotian nodded, "You go ahead. My grandmother made a new dish today."

After discussing Su Ciliang's matter, Su Xiaotian asked Su Sangong some questions.

Compared to Su Ciliang, Su Sangong's situation was incredibly smooth.

His teacher was Shen Zizhen, a familiar acquaintance.

Shen Zizhen already liked Su Sangong very much and now kept him by his side to teach him.

Su Xiaotian was relieved.

However, Su Sangong mentioned a few points that he couldn't understand and areas where his ideas clashed with Shen Zizhen's.

After thinking about the issues Su Sangong raised, Su Xiaotian said, "Third Brother, I'll write down the problems you mentioned this afternoon and sort them out. You can find Uncle Shen to discuss them on Monday, and perhaps you'll gain something."

She had seen these issues in other books before.

Su Sangong nodded busily.

As for Su Xiaosi, he was studying economics in college. Since he had just entered college, there was nothing special to remind him of.

Su Xiaotian just repeatedly urged him to learn more, see more, and listen more, and Su Xiaosi readily agreed.

After settling her brothers' issues, Su Xiaotian went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Grandma Su had made a dish three times and was about to take it out for her grandchildren to taste.

Su Xiaotian had intended to take it out herself, but Grandpa Su beat her to it.

"I'll do it. What if you, a child, get burned?"

Su Xiaotian was speechless. Why was she still a child? She was already in her teens, did he think she was four or five years old?

But Su Xiaotian still felt Grandpa's care was very heartwarming.

She said playfully, "Grandpa loves me the most!"

"Xiaotian, you said there's another dish? Hurry and tell me about it."

Grandma Su asked Su Xiaotian impatiently.

"Grandma, are you satisfied with this dish?" Su Xiaotian asked.

"I'm satisfied. Just now, your godmother also said it was very good and that she had never eaten anything as good as mine, despite having eaten so many delicacies!"

Grandma Su was clearly very proud. Seeing her grandmother's radiant appearance, Su Xiaotian couldn't help but smile.

After telling Grandma Su the recipe, Su Xiaotian made an excuse that she had other things to discuss with Yu Ruiyuan and went upstairs.

"Godmother, how should this matter be handled?" Su Xiaotian asked with a sigh.

Although her second brother's problem had been initially resolved, he would still have to attend classes at school in the future. What if he was brainwashed again?

"I know a little about Cao Gaoxuan. He's someone who doesn't do anything without a purpose," Yu Ruiyuan said coldly. "He's suppressing Ciliang, and there must be a reason for it."

Su Xiaotian thought and thought, but she couldn't figure out what motive would lead a teacher to suppress his student!

"I guess there must be a student in Ciliang's class who comes from a good family background and can bring benefits to Cao Gaoxuan!"

This was the only reason Yu Ruiyuan could think of.

Naturally, this reason was still a guess and not yet confirmed!

"Grandma Yu, is this Professor Cao really such a person without morals or bottom lines?"

Perhaps because she had met many good teachers, Su Xiaotian had a very good impression of teachers.

She was somewhat unwilling to believe it when she suddenly heard that there was such a teacher with low moral character.

"Xiaotian, I'll go to the school tomorrow to see if I can gain anything. Do you want to accompany me?" Yu Ruiyuan asked.

Su Xiaotian really wanted to see where her second brother attended school, but she had to teach her eldest brother tomorrow.

"Grandma Yu, I won't go. I have to teach my eldest brother French tomorrow," Su Xiaotian thought about it and refused.

Yu Ruiyuan was surprised that Su Xiaotian said she was going to teach Su Shouwen French.

Did this child know French?

When she was in the Hongxin Brigade, she hadn't heard that this child knew any foreign languages.

"I've learned a little recently and figured out some learning methods. I want to discuss them with my eldest brother," Su Xiaotian quickly explained.

Yu Ruiyuan heard this and assumed Su Xiaotian had found a way to quickly memorize French vocabulary, so she didn't ask further.

She just smiled and said, "Alright, you teach your eldest brother at home tomorrow, and I'll go to the school to see the situation."
