After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed-Chapter 897 - 898: What an Unfortunate Coincidence

Upon hearing this, Jiang Changhai, who was sitting behind Su Wanyu, frowned slightly in displeasure.

He was just saying that Sister Xu rarely interacted with their family, so why did she come over out of the blue with gifts? Turns out she had this plan in mind.

Su Wanyu was also a bit unwilling. Her daughter had just started her summer vacation, hadn’t even relaxed for a couple of days, and now she was supposed to tutor someone else’s child. She couldn’t bear that.

But before she could find a reason to refuse, several other neighbors also came over with gifts, bringing their children along.

When Jiang Changhai and his wife saw this setup similar to Sister Xu’s, they immediately knew why they had come. Seeing so many people wanting their daughter to tutor their children, Jiang Changhai was quite annoyed.

Turns out I raised a city top scorer, a Little Prodigy, just to tutor your children? What are you all thinking?

Sure enough, their guess was right. After a few pleasantries, all these neighbors wanted Jiang Mianmian to help tutor their children.

Throughout, Jiang Changhai listened expressionlessly to their requests. After they finished speaking, he sat up straight and gave them a polite smile, saying, "Dear friends, what a coincidence, you’ve made a trip in vain. My mom’s birthday is in a few days, and she specially asked Mianmian to return home during her summer break to keep her company. You know, the elderly, they just miss their grandchildren. Mianmian is back to pick up some homework and clothes, and will soon head back to the village with her elder brothers. She most likely won’t be back until school starts again."

"Oh? Back to the hometown?" The neighbors, upon hearing this, were filled with disappointment, as this was quite unfortunate.

Initially, when Wang Li and Li Lan came looking for Jiang Mianmian, the others also thought about sending their children over.

But back then, they didn’t know how amazing Jiang Mianmian was, and Jiang Changhai thought their kids were too young, so they didn’t push it.

Now, seeing the progress Wang Li and Li Lan made, they wanted to send their kids, but then Jiang Mianmian was headed to the city for school.

They thought during the summer break, they could send their kids over to learn what they could, but then it coincided with the old lady’s birthday. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

They were just a step too late, and missed the opportunity; timing truly is everything.

The granddaughter was going home for her grandma’s birthday, they couldn’t stop her, so they left disappointed, taking back their gifts and children.

After sending everyone away, as soon as Jiang Mianmian got back, Jiang Changhai eagerly claimed credit: "Hehe, daughter, your mom and I just turned away a whole flock of people who wanted you to tutor them."

"Tutoring? Could it be that our neighbors found out about Wang Li and Sister Lanlan’s improved grades, so now they’re all coming to me?" Jiang Mianmian quickly guessed the truth.

"Wow, daughter, you’re amazing, you guessed it right. It was those neighbors who we don’t usually interact with asking you to help tutor their kids. But your dad here is the smartest, I gave them a perfect excuse, didn’t offend anyone, and even praised your filial piety in the process," Jiang Changhai said proudly.

"Dad, what excuse did you use?" Jiang Mianmian asked curiously.

"I told them that your grandma’s birthday is coming up in a few days, and you’d be going over early to accompany her," Jiang Changhai said, beaming with satisfaction.

He even admired himself for being so quick-witted, to come up with such a perfect reason. Truly, he was too clever, too quick-thinking.
