Transmigrated as the Villain Boss's Precious Darling-Chapter 64: Jim Thorne Holds Down the Fort

The greatest joy for a good teacher is encountering a genius student. The talent Tang Xiaonan displayed was immense—her articulation was clear, and her pronunciation was very standard, much better than Jacqueline Spann’s. Old Master Tate felt an incredible sense of accomplishment as he taught her.

Adrian Hawthorne was also surprised. He recalled that when he first learned English, it hadn’t been this easy for him. ’This chubby girl is really something else.’

Although Jim Thorne couldn’t recite the words yet, he was still overjoyed. ’Such an incredible little sister is mine! She’s a hundred times better than Jacqueline Spann. When I go home and tell Mom, she’ll be thrilled.’

’Everyone in the village must be blind. The smartest person in the village is obviously our Xiaonan. How could Jacqueline Spann ever compare to her?’

’She’s not as smart as Xiaonan, not as pretty as Xiaonan, not as cute as Xiaonan... Basically, she’s inferior in every way.’

Tang Xiaonan read through it fluently one more time without a single mistake. Old Master Tate was so happy he practically danced for joy. He scooped Tang Xiaonan up and exclaimed, "Xiaonan, from now on, you’ll learn languages with me! English, French, German, Russian... and Japanese... I’ll teach you everything I know. We can’t let your talent go to waste!"

’After all, I’m a master of eight languages!’

’My head is starting to throb,’ Tang Xiaonan thought. ’Good heavens, I just wanted an excuse for knowing English! I never wanted to learn so many languages. Is it too late to take it back?’ 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

’In my past life, I worked and studied so desperately because I didn’t have any parents to dote on me. But now I’m a little princess with three older brothers! I don’t have to work that hard anymore!’

"Grandpa Tate, are you going into the city tomorrow?"

Tang Xiaonan changed the subject, hoping the old master would forget by tomorrow.

Adrian Hawthorne’s eyes held a hint of a smile. ’This chubby girl really is lazy. The second she hears the word ’study’, she tries to get out of it.’

"I’m not going. I can’t handle the walk on the mountain road," the old master said with a broad smile, feeling better than he had in a long time.

"Mr. Hawthorne, do you want to go? My uncle said he can take you!" Tang Xiaonan said, looking at Adrian Hawthorne.

Adrian Hawthorne’s heart skipped a beat. He really wanted to go, but... he truly couldn’t stop worrying about Rosalind Green.

"Mr. Hawthorne, my third brother said he’s coming over tomorrow to study with Grandpa Tate. So, um... how about we have Aunt Green cook for him?"

Jim Thorne’s eyes widened. ’When did I say I was going to study?’

He had just opened his mouth to protest when Tang Xiaonan gave him a sharp kick and shot him a glare. Jim Thorne had no choice but to clamp his mouth shut, thoroughly exasperated.

’My little sister is getting fiercer and fiercer.’

’But I still like her so much.’

This time, Adrian Hawthorne understood Tang Xiaonan’s intentions without Old Master Tate having to spell it out. With Jim Thorne holding down the fort, those local ruffians wouldn’t dare cause any trouble. He wondered how she had managed to persuade a troublemaker like Jim Thorne.

"Alright. What time do we leave tomorrow?" Adrian Hawthorne agreed.

He wanted to go into the city so badly. It was a rare opportunity, and he didn’t want to miss it.

"My uncle said six o’clock. He and I will come get you tomorrow morning."

Tang Xiaonan was in a great mood, having finally accomplished this important task. ’Now Adrian Hawthorne doesn’t glare or frown at me anymore. That means I’m doing a great job raising his affection for me. If I keep this up, I’ll definitely become inseparable from the future big boss!’

After the siblings left, Old Master Tate said to Adrian Hawthorne, "Take a good look around when you go to the city tomorrow. Bring some extra money and grain coupons, and buy some snacks to bring back."

"Okay."

Adrian Hawthorne was ecstatic. He could finally go to the city! He could hardly wait.

’He could feel a bright future slowly drawing near. Soon, he would be able to make his mark!’

"This is all thanks to Xiaonan. It’s amazing how that little girl thought of everything so thoroughly, covering every detail. You shouldn’t keep glaring at her all the time," Old Master Tate admonished.
