Back For My Daughter

"Don't worry, Su Ren asked me about this and I am looking around, but you see this is a bad time and companies are laying off people rather than employing, so this might take some time."

While entering the entrance of the Turtle Primary School, Su Zen, Su Ren's elder brother, said as he turned to Ye Qian who was walking beside him.

"Ohh."

Ye Qian nodded and smiled before thanking him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zen."

Even if he could see the disdain in his eyes, seeing that the fellow was still trying to help him, Ye Qian didn't have any remorse in his heart and only felt good.

"And there's something more I want to thank you about."

"What is it?"

Su Zen turned in confusion.

Although he had been asked by his brother to look for a job for his friend who had been out for a few years and didn't have quite a track record for work all this long, Su Zen thought that if he was willing to do then there would be any job Ye Qian could find.

Of course, there would be some trouble but that wouldn't be the sole trouble, there was also a possibility that he would be paid much less due to inadequate information about his work period and blank space in his CV for a whole 5 years.

"It's about helping my family while I was away, Su Ren informed me that you gave him some money to help my daughter and wife."

Ye Qian said earnestly, deep respect in his eyes.

"I did..."

'Is that the reason why he was asking for money back then?'

'That idiot...'

Su Zeng cursed his younger brother.

Years ago his brother had asked for more than a hundred thousand in the name of investing in stocks, and so he had given him, but then later on he just said that he suffered a major loss and lost all of the money invested.

Although this felt slightly off, Su Zen didn't think much about it since a hundred thousand although was quite a sum but wasn't worth breaking their family apart. Besides, Su Ren had returned him the money little by little after some time.

"It's alright."

But seeing the genuine respect in Ye Qian's eyes, Su Zen let out a sigh and nodded.

Although he didn't particularly like this fellow due to some other reasons, there wasn't any need for him to hate Ye Qian.

"As long as it has helped you in some way or the other it isn't a problem."

"And don't worry about returning it."

Although a hundred thousand yuan was still a tenth of his annual salary, Su Zen didn't think that he could be shameless and ask for money from Ye Qian when he had already received it and it was Su Ren who had used his money to help Ye Qian's family.

"No that can't be..."

Ye Qian shook his head and continued.

"Even if it's somewhat a big amount, I will try to return it to you."

"Alright, then give it to Su Ren whenever u think, he will send me later on."

He could only shake his head.

"Hmm."

Meanwhile, by the time they finished their small talk, the students of the first grade had already arrived at the building entrance along with their teacher.

Being slightly taller than her peers, the little girl was in the middle of the line as the teacher called out the names of the children for their parents to come and take them.

"Xia Jhong..."

"Huang Fen..."

"Meng Fei..."

"Ning Jia..."

Miss Nei called out the names until Ye Qian heard the name he was eager to listen.

As the little girl's eyes scrolled around for a second, her brows raised up and a bright smile appeared on her lips, extending into a wide grin as she called out, "Papa!"

"CHI CHIII"

Following that, there was a shrill chirp, attracting the attention of a few people around.

"Thanks for taking care of Jia, Miss Nei."

"Hmm."

The teacher smiled and waved her hand as if saying that he didn't need to say that before calling the name of the next child.

"Thank you Miss Nei, take care."

The little girl bid farewell to her teacher before turning to her father and raising both her hands high.

"UMMM, pick me."

Ye Qian couldn't help but let out a chuckle seeing that this was the first that the girl had been so direct.

"Okay, here we go my little princess."

Saying that he lifted the girl up, placing her on his arm.

"Hehe, now this princess will reward you."

The little girl giggled and gave a peck on her Papa's cheek, attracting a few envious gazes from around.

"So how was your day at the school?"

"It was very good, we played hide and seek and also learned money addition problems, tomorrow teacher will teach us the subtraction one."

But as she said that, the little girl seemed to be frowning.

"What is it, sweetheart?"

"Papa, the maths is the same, but we are just given some more words, why do they have to reach us if it's the same?"

The little girl asked, her big eyes looking into Ye Qian's as if his answer to her question would significantly influence her.

Seeing her serious gaze, Ye Qian didn't know whether he should laugh or cry, he knew every well that this little daughter of his was way much smarter than her peers, and though to her these problems seemed easy, for the children of her class, they would just be scratching their heads.

"Haha, it's not like that, you see, every kind of math is basically the same, but just presented in different ways, so they are teaching you to identify the problem, because that is more important, because, if you are able to identity what is to be placed where, then the rest will be easy for you to solve."

"Ohhh," the little girl nodded her head, her finger scratching her chin as if deeply pondering.

Meanwhile, a watery pair of eyes stared at the father-daughter duo with intense jealousy as it stood not far away from them.
