Therefore, that afternoon, as the matter escalated, the higher-ups realized something was wrong and began to send people to investigate the matter.

As for Lin Fan, he was unaware of the subsequent events. He had already ridden his motorcycle home early, ready to receive a welcome from his family!

"Uncle's back! Uncle's back!"

At the entrance of the old house, Xiuying, who was eagerly waiting at the door, saw Lin Fan's figure appear not far ahead and was so excited that she danced with joy.

Lin Fan parked his motorcycle at the door, pushing it with one hand while lifting Xiuying into his arms. He smiled and said, "Xiuying, why aren't you staying home and listening to Teacher Chu's lessons?"

According to the usual schedule, Teacher Chu should be teaching Xiuying and the others at this time.

Xiuying pouted and said, "The teacher said that Uncle should celebrate with his family today, so he didn't come to class. He's chatting with Grandpa and Grandma in the yard right now."

Hearing Xiuying's words, Lin Fan smiled knowingly and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Okay, let's go in then. We'll have something delicious to eat later. Xiuying, eat more. You've lost weight lately. Your uncle feels uncomfortable holding you!"

As soon as I entered the house, my family warmly greeted me.

The Lin family was unusually lively today, with Teacher Chu and the Xie family members also present.

Everyone came up one by one to greet Lin Fan, their faces beaming with smiles.

Before long, a large round table was brought out, and everyone sat around it. The table was full of all kinds of delicious food.

The table was filled with all sorts of seafood, mountain delicacies, and wild game that are rarely seen on a daily basis, clearly showing that the foster mother and her family had put a lot of thought into preparing this meal.

It was rare for the family to drink at the dinner table, and Teacher Chu was the happiest, drinking heartily with a smile on his face. This was the happiest he had been since he started working as a private tutor for the Lin family.

For a teacher, isn't it the greatest encouragement and significance to have such outstanding students?

"Teacher Chu, let us raise a glass to you and thank you for your hard work in nurturing our Xiaofan."

Lin Desheng raised his wine glass somewhat awkwardly and spoke to Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang laughed heartily and accepted all offers of wine. He downed a cup without batting an eye. After drinking for a while, everyone realized that Chu Jiang was actually a heavy drinker, at least more so than the Lin family members. Several young men couldn't outdrink him.

"Lin Fan's dad, you really overestimate me."

"I admit that I do have some unique methods when it comes to teaching and nurturing students, but I didn't put much effort into Lin Fan's foreign language skills. His achievements today are entirely due to his own efforts."

Chu Jiang looked at Lin Desheng and spoke earnestly.

Upon hearing this, the people around him continued to offer a few more words of flattery, clearly believing that Chu Jiang was only being modest.

However, only Chu Jiang himself knew that he hadn't said these words before, but rather that he genuinely hadn't spent much time on Lin Fan's foreign language skills.

On the contrary, Lin Fan learned the things from him that took the least amount of time out of all the things he had learned during this period.

Even he, as a teacher, suspected that Lin Fan might have learned through other means, such as getting to know some foreign friends.

However, he couldn't explain all of this to others. At least everyone believed that Lin Fan's achievements were inseparable from his good teacher.

And so, chatting and laughing, everyone at the dinner table enjoyed themselves for two or three hours before the meal finally came to an end.

After seeing the Xie family off, it was already late at night.

When Lin Fan returned to the courtyard, Chu Jiang was still there, standing by the round table, smiling at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan thought for a moment, then stepped forward and approached Chu Jiang, politely saying, "Teacher, it's so late, shall I take you home?"

Chu Jiang shook his head, looked at Lin Fan and said with emotion, "Lin Fan, your teacher wants to thank you."

"Thank you for allowing me to teach such an outstanding student as you in my lifetime."

Lin Fan looked at Chu Jiang and said with a wry smile, "Teacher, you don't need to say these things. Your knowledge is much higher than mine. You should know that my achievements are far inferior to those of those who truly study scholarship."

Chu Jiang smiled at Lin Fan, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Perhaps there is, but at your age, you've already reached a top level. Don't underestimate yourself."

"You've come to see the teacher because you need something, right?"

Chu Jiang looked at Lin Fan and spoke with a smile.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Nothing can be hidden from you."

"It's like this. Because of this incident, the leaders of No. 1 High School believe that I must have an excellent teacher behind me, and that's indeed the case. So they want to invite you to teach at No. 1 High School. Do you have this idea?"

"The principal of No. 1 High School told me that as long as you are willing to go, they will agree to any conditions. Even if there are some difficulties in principle, they will try to find a way to solve them for you. Teacher, what do you think?"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Chu Jiang was taken aback at first, then smiled with relief.

"Lin Fan, your teacher knows you as well as you know your teacher. Do you think your teacher will go?"

Lin Fan looked at Chu Jiang and laughed.

“Teacher, I guessed you wouldn’t go either, so I told the principal to be prepared for you to refuse.”

"Haha, well said, I really don't plan to go either."

"To be honest, at my age, I have no regrets about being able to have a few elementary school students like you. Being able to pass on all my knowledge and live a life as a teacher before I die is my long-cherished wish."

"Xiuying is well-behaved and intelligent, Qiao'er has ingenious ideas, and your eldest sister and wife are also hardworking and diligent. They are all excellent students. I am too old to go to school and mess around. Please refuse for me."

Lin Fan nodded, a look of "I knew it" on his face.

He looked at Chu Jiang earnestly and said, "Teacher Chu, as the saying goes, 'A teacher for a day is a father for life.' I know you must have your own past, but as your student, I will always remember you."

"If there's anything you need me to do, please don't hesitate to ask. Don't be shy about asking me."

Lin Fan genuinely regarded Chu Jiang as a mentor from ancient times who imparted knowledge, taught skills, and resolved doubts, rather than simply a teacher.

Looking at Lin Fan's sincere face, Chu Jiang was also somewhat moved by Lin Fan's words. So he said with a look of relief, "Don't worry, if your teacher really needs your help, I definitely won't hesitate to ask. Good child, it's getting late, go back and rest!"
