I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 382 Seeing how excellent my mother's students are, I can finally rest assured.

"It wasn't really helping, just chatting. We just arrived here and don't know anyone here."

Upon hearing Yin Mengran's words, Yu Lingxue pursed her lips, as if suppressing a laugh, and turned her face away.

I realized I really don't know many people, just one person, and that person is your mother, the chairwoman and president...

Once you get to know this person, it's not easy to get to know anyone else...

"Don't worry..." Wu Menghuai patted his chest and said:

"Although I've only been here for a year, I'm quite popular in the tech department. If you want to make friends there, I can help... but... for other departments, I..."

Wu Menghuai gave an awkward smile. She only dared to say that she could help in the technical department. She wasn't familiar with people in other departments. However, the technical department alone already accounted for the majority of Tianheng's workforce.

Yu Lingxue said, "Hmm, you seem like a very popular person. You seem to have a great personality and must be very good at socializing..."

"From now on, our connections in the tech department will be you." Yin Mengran smiled faintly, her eyes narrowing as she looked at Wu Menghuai, finding him increasingly familiar.

I feel like this face looks a lot like someone else...

During the meal, Wu Menghuai was very quiet, chewing without making a sound. She had been more relaxed when she was alone, eating while playing on her phone.

But now, in front of others, she behaved very properly. In the end, she ate her plate clean, leaving not a single grain of rice, and then neatly tidied up her soup bowl, chopsticks, and everything else, taking it to the dishwashing area...

Yin Mengran hadn't seen someone like that in a long time; they were the kind of person who looked very well-mannered and knew how to behave properly...

After tidying up, Wu Menghuai didn't leave. Instead, she stood at the cafeteria exit, playing on her phone, as if waiting for someone.

After Yin Mengran and Yu Lingxue finished their meal and were about to leave, they approached Wu Menghuai. Yin Mengran quickly put down her phone, looked at the two of them, and asked:

"Have you finished eating?"

Yin Mengran and Yu Lingxue exchanged a glance and asked, "Were you waiting for us?"

"Yes, you said you just arrived today. I can show you around. I know people in every department, maybe I can help you?"

Yu Lingxue paused for a moment, pointed to the spot where they had just been sitting, and asked, "Ah... then why didn't you sit there and wait for us...?"

Wu Menghuai blinked and replied seriously, "Are you still eating? If I sit there and wait for you, you won't be able to eat properly. I want you to eat slowly and not in a hurry."

"Oh..." Yin Mengran and Yu Lingxue suddenly realized, they hadn't expected there to be such a saying.

They felt that Wu Menghuai might have gone a bit too far, or that he was being a bit too deliberate.

However, these were minor matters, and they didn't pay much attention to them.

"Okay, then please show us around..."

Yin Mengran nodded, accepting Wu Menghuai's kindness. For her, meeting someone like Wu Menghuai so soon after arriving here was truly a very positive experience.

If she encounters bad people as soon as she arrives, she'll really be in trouble...

The two followed behind Wu Menghuai, walking inside the company, chatting occasionally.

They learned that Wu Menghuai was only two years older than them this year, and that he had come to work at Tianheng right after graduation, having attended a prestigious university.

Wu Menghuai did not inquire about their identities because she sensed that there were some things she shouldn't ask.

"You have such good upbringing. Your parents must be very good people too."

Yin Mengran couldn't help but offer a heartfelt compliment.

Then, Wu Menghuai sighed and said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. My mother is a teacher, and she has always been strict with me since I was a child. She has a lot of rules... She told me that I can do whatever I want when I'm alone, but I must behave properly in front of outsiders."

Yin Mengran was somewhat surprised, then suddenly realized:

"Your mom's a teacher... No wonder, she must be a good teacher. If she can raise a child like you, her students must be excellent too..."

When Wu Menghuai's mother was mentioned, her eyes filled with pride. She nodded and said:

"Yes, when I was little, I wanted to be a teacher like my mom. Almost every class she taught was ranked first in the grade. She was very famous at her high school and was a senior teacher..."

"?!"

Yin Mengran and Yu Lingxue suddenly stopped in their tracks, momentarily stunned...

Wu Menghuai also stopped, turned to look at the two of them, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yin Mengran was stunned for a moment before stepping forward and asking, "Is your mother a high school teacher? Where does she teach?"

"Oh, she's not in Huzhou, she's in the neighboring Hailing City, that's where my family is from."

What is your mother's surname?

"Uh... my surname is Wang..."

Yin Mengran took a step back and stood next to Yu Lingxue, both of them wearing expressions of disbelief...

Yin Mengran suddenly remembered; no wonder Wu Menghuai looked a bit like someone, but she just couldn't place him...

Now that he's mentioned it, she suddenly remembered someone who looked like her high school homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang...

She's actually Teacher Wang's daughter!

"What's wrong? You...know my mother?"

Seeing the reactions of the two people in front of him, Wu Menghuai sensed something was amiss, so he cautiously asked...

Yin Mengran nodded silently, her throat bobbing as she responded softly:

"Ah...yes, we're both your mother's students..."

"Really?!"

Wu Menghuai's eyes widened suddenly, a look of surprise flashing across them. She was extremely shocked, never expecting that they would have such a connection.

"Yes, it's true. Teacher Wang is very, very good to me. She gave me... a lot of special care..."

Yin Mengran recalled her high school days when both she and Zhou Heng received special attention from Teacher Wang, especially her. After learning about her past, Teacher Wang took care of her and even gave her money...

As a teacher, she has done an excellent job.

"Haha, that's good. Seeing how excellent my mom's students are, I'm relieved. She'll definitely be very happy to know!"

Wu Menghuai's slightly pursed lips formed a graceful curve, and Yin Mengran was stunned again upon seeing it. That smile was exactly like Teacher Wang's...

Yin Mengran also remembered that she had told Zhou Heng that she would definitely repay Teacher Wang in the future...

Now we should have this opportunity...
