chapter 13 : This instructor is so handsome!

From the enthusiastic attitude of everyone towards Eiland, the members of the Lu family seemed quite satisfied with him. However, Helena Lu's third aunt, Bettina Xu, privately said to Lin Hui, "Big sister-in-law, to be honest, I don't think this Eiland is all that great. He's not as good as Aidan Feng, whom I introduced to Helena last time. Just think about it, Aidan Feng is a talented person, and he's even the CEO of a listed company. He and Helena would be a perfect match."
Lin Hui, on the other hand, responded calmly, "You know your big brother's personality. He doesn't care about social status or backgrounds. My thoughts are pretty much the same. As long as Helena likes him, that's what matters."
"Big sister-in-law, I think your thinking is a bit misguided. You heard last night that Eiland is currently in the start-up phase. People like him can be quite risky. I've seen many related reports. These people use entrepreneurship as a cover, but once the relationship with their girlfriend stabilizes, they start borrowing money continuously, and in the end, it's all about cheating for money and emotions."
"Well... I don't think Eiland is that kind of person, right?"
"It's hard to say. It's just that, judging a book by its cover,' especially considering that our Helena has never been in a romantic relationship before. Although she holds a high position, when it comes to emotions, she's a complete greenie. I'm afraid she might be taken advantage of!"
"Well..." Lin Hui was indeed moved by Bettina Xu's words. She was genuinely concerned that Helena Lu might be deceived!
However, after a second thought, Lin Hui smiled and said, "Bettina, don't worry. I'm planning to arrange a little spy around them. This way, we won't have to worry about our Helena being deceived."
"A spy?" Bettina Xu was a bit puzzled.
"You don't need to worry about this. I'll handle it myself. I can’t possible watch my own daughter step into a pit can I? Anyway, I'll take care of it. Bettina, let's go, have breakfast first."
"Alright!" Although Bettina Xu felt a bit reluctant, she still agreed.
In the dining room, everyone had already taken their seats. Just like after dinner, Caleb Lu hadn't sat down yet, and no one dared to start eating before him. Grace Lu pulled Helena Lu to sit down, smiling brightly, "Sis, how did your skin change overnight? Did you not sleep well last night?"
"Mind your own business!" Helena Lu gave her a glare.
Grace Lu continued to smile, "I'm not being nosy. It's just that sis, you're almost thirty. You're entering the prime of your life, so you need to take some precautions. Even when fooling around with brother-in-law, you have to be careful."
"Get lost!" Helena Lu glared fiercely, her face turning red.
Especially when she recalled the absurd scene of Eiland shaking the bed last night, she felt that the whole situation was extremely ridiculous. As a school principal, she was usually upright in everything she did. Now, she felt that what she did was really absurd.
Caleb Lu finally took his seat, and everyone started having breakfast.
While eating, Caleb Lu, who usually demanded silence during meals, spoke up this time. He asked Helena Lu, "Helena, are you going back to school today?"
"Yes, Dad." Helena Lu nodded. "I'm going back with Eiland."
"It's a pity." Caleb Lu sighed. "I was planning to keep you two for a day or two longer, so you could accompany your mom and me around. But young people should focus on their work, so I won't keep you."
Saying this, Caleb Lu turned to Eiland and said, "Eiland, I'm entrusting my daughter to you."
"Yes, Uncle."
Eiland responded, and he looked as if he was about to salute Caleb Lu. Everyone found it amusing that Eiland, who could talk so grandiosely in front of Lin Hui, seemed so formal in front of Caleb Lu.
Caleb Lu nodded in satisfaction. He knew that Eiland wasn't afraid of him, but rather, he respected him.
After breakfast, Helena Lu left with Eiland. Once they got into the car, Eiland began to undress. Helena Lu, feeling a bit flustered, said, "What... What are you doing?"
Eiland smiled, "I'm changing clothes. Principal, I can't afford your expensive clothes!"
Helena Lu blinked, slightly taken aback. Eiland's address of "Principal" brought her back to reality. That's right, now they were no longer in a "romantic" relationship. As for the clothes... she shrugged and said, "You can keep them. It's not like you can give them back to me, and who knows, maybe I'll need your help again next time!"
"I’ll take this as a reward then?" Eiland asked.
"No, this is your reward." Helena Lu handed a sealed envelope to Eiland. He opened it to find a thick stack of money, probably over ten thousand yuan. He didn't refuse and simply put it in his pocket, saying with a smile, "Alright, I'll accept this money. Consider it payment for last night's lodging."
Helena Lu didn't say anything more to Eiland after that. The two of them remained in a somewhat silent state until they returned to MuLan Middle. Helena Lu parked the car in a small alley and told Eiland, "You can get out now. We can't let the students see you getting out of my car."
"Alright, thank you for giving me a ride!" Eiland got out of the car and walked forward with his old clothes in hand. From the car, Helena Lu watched Eiland's carefree and natural stride, and it seemed like he had no regrets leaving. For some reason, she felt that Eiland was a person she couldn't quite figure out. It was as if he had some hidden secrets that she just couldn't see through.
But no matter what, they needed to set clear boundaries between them from now on.
As Eiland entered the school, he walked with a carefree air because he no longer felt burdened. In his heart, he had already drawn a clear line between himself and Helena Lu. This was why he accepted the ten thousand yuan. He didn't want too much entanglement with Helena Lu, because he was only an assistant who helped her.
They returned early, so the campus was still quite peaceful. Eiland checked his class schedule and found that he didn't have a class until the second period. He started walking towards the sports field. Since there were no students around, he could afford to dress casually.
While Eiland was focused on his run, there were some comments from the girls who had come to the sports field one after another.
"Hey, isn't that the new coach from Class 7 of Grade 10? Why is he running in clothes like that?"
"He's just showing off. Trying to attract girls, I bet."
"Although it's a bit showy, this coach is really handsome. I want to have his babies."
"..."
Girls who had come to the sports field one after another and saw Eiland running in his dress shoes, suit pants, and shirt began to comment. Some thought he was trying to get attention from the girls, while others were entranced by his good looks.
However, Eiland seemed oblivious to the discussions around him.
"Show-off!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out beside Eiland. He turned his head and saw Emily Chen running alongside him.
