Pretty and charming, dressed in the 90s, she's good at everything from making money to causing

That evening, Lin Ting subtly tried to get information out of her father: "Dad, has anything interesting happened at your workplace lately?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin's father replied, "Does it count if your Uncle Feng's patient said he cut off his leg so he could make pork rib soup?"

Lin Ting: "I suggest Uncle Feng explain the difference between ribs and leg bones to this patient."

Lin's father chuckled and asked in return, "How was your week at school?"

He looked at his daughter with concern, feeling that she had lost a lot of weight.

"Me? I'm fine, everything's great."

Lin Ting was pondering how to continue subtly inquiring about Chen Jun when her mother, peeling an orange, asked casually, "Oh right, is the male classmate who accompanied you to class today your boyfriend?"

Lin Ting: "...?"

Lin Ting: "...!"

How did this news reach Mom's ears?

Lin's father froze instantly, immediately stopping watching TV and grabbing Lin Ting's shoulders, demanding angrily, "What's his name? What did he study? Where is he from? What do his parents do for a living? Is that brat's surname Chen?"

Lin Ting: "..."

She was shaken until she was dizzy, and only after finally breaking free from her father's hand did she say, "What's his surname, Chen? He's a friend of mine named Jiang Zong, who came to our class to audit lessons."

Lin's father looked at her with a skeptical gaze: "Really?"

Lin Ting nodded vigorously: "Really!"

Lin's father let out a long sigh of relief and leaned weakly against the sofa.

It's good that they don't have the surname Chen.

Lin's mother broke off half an orange for Lin Ting and said, "It's not that I'm not open-minded, but you have to understand that you are still students. You should do things that are appropriate for your student status. Don't rush into things like dating."

Lin Ting took the orange and nodded with a forced smile.

Lin's mother continued, "Also, you need to listen carefully in class. What kind of behavior is it to hide in the last row and sleep all day?"

Lin Ting: "..."

It's confirmed: the whistleblower's surname is Liang, and his profession is an English department teacher.

Lin died before he could finish listening to the platitudes, and was even forced to attend a lesson on persuasion to study.

At the end of the lesson on encouraging students to study, Lin's mother asked, "What are you going to do tomorrow?"

Lin Ting, bursting with survival instinct, replied, "I went to the library with my friend."

Lin's mother frowned: "You should still rest properly on your days off. It's not that I'm not open-minded..."

Lin Ting: "...?"

Is this enlightened or not?

What is the answer to this question?

Just as Lin Ting was searching for the standard answer, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Lin's mother gestured with her chin to Lin's father, indicating that he should open the door.

Lin's father clutched his chest and turned to look at Lin Ting: "Daughter, open the door."

Lin looked around but couldn't find anyone he could order around, so he had to stand up and open the door himself.

"Hold on."

She opened the door and was immediately stunned.

Standing outside the door was Chen's mother.

Chen's mother, carrying a bag of apples, smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Listen, have you finished eating yet?"

It's already eight o'clock, so naturally we've finished dinner.

Lin Ting noticed that Chen's mother's eyes were a little red, and she seemed to be having some emotional issues.

"Uh, I'm done eating." Lin Ting didn't immediately invite her in. Instead, she held onto the door with one hand and turned her head to look at the living room. "Mom, Aunt Chen is here."

Lin's mother was also stunned for a moment.

Since the two families had their argument before the Lunar New Year, Chen's mother hadn't come to the house again. Why did she suddenly come today?

But once people are outside the door, they can't be turned away.

Lin's mother quickly got up, subtly pulled Lin Ting behind her, and then smiled as she invited Chen's mother in.

"Tingting, go back to your room and read after you finish pouring the water," Lin's mother said, trying to get Lin Ting to go back so that Chen's mother wouldn't say anything unpleasant to upset her daughter.

"No, listen, don't go yet," Chen's mother said with an awkward smile. "I... I have something I'd like to ask Tingting about."

Lin Ting stopped in her tracks, her intuition telling her that Chen's mother's visit must be related to Chen Jun's outburst that afternoon.

She was just wondering what was going on when a clue came to her door.

She asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen's mother rubbed her hands together, remained silent for a while, then sighed and asked, "Listen, do you know what's been going on with Chen Jun at school lately?"

Lin Ting blinked and said decisively, "I don't know, I didn't notice. What happened to him?"

Looking at Lin Ting with hopeful eyes, Chen's mother asked again, unwilling to give up, "Are you sure everything's alright? Please help me think about it carefully."

Lin Ting smiled gently: "Aunt Chen, why don't you tell me what's wrong with Chen Jun? If you leave me guessing, I have no clue what to do."

Lin's mother chimed in, "Yes, sister-in-law, you might as well just say it directly. Even if I don't know, I can still help you find out. But if you keep it all vague, there's nothing we can do to help you."

After a moment's hesitation, as if she had finally made up her mind, Chen's mother took a deep breath and said, "Chen Jun said he wants to drop out of school and go into business. Tell me, has this child lost his mind?"

"Go to sea?" Lin's mother was stunned. "Why did he suddenly bring this up?"

“Who says otherwise? He suddenly told me today that he wants to drop out of school. When I asked him what he was going to do, he said he wanted to go into business, and even said he wanted to buy some... stock subscription certificates?” Chen’s mother tapped her head. “I just don’t understand. What kind of people go into business? People who take unpaid leave or are laid off. I’ve never seen anyone drop out of college to go into business!”

Chen's mother was probably on the verge of a breakdown, and poured out her grievances to Lin's mother like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

Lin's mother tried to comfort Chen Junxue, saying that it might be a problem with his major... In short, she focused on comforting Chen's mother and didn't offer any suggestions.

Lin Ting's heart was already in turmoil.

She seemed to understand why Chen Jun had gone mad.

This guy is either a transmigrator like me, or he's been reborn.

His desire to buy subscription certificates perfectly proves this point.

First of all, although subscription certificates are very popular in the Shanghai market right now, given the relatively closed information environment, it should absolutely not have reached the ears of college students in Northeast China.

Secondly, if it had been heard before February, it would have been reasonable, since there was radio news at the time. But to hear about it now and insist on buying it is just too abnormal.

Lin Ting is more inclined to believe that Chen Jun also transmigrated into the book.

Because if he were reborn, how could he possibly come back to apologize to himself after being reborn, instead of trying to get back together with Zheng Miaoying?

Lin Ting unconsciously relaxed a little.

It's good to transmigrate into a book; the transmigrator has no past grudges or present hatred towards her, so he won't always be thinking of killing her.

"Listen to it?"

Lin Ting was just thinking about her wonderful plans when her mother suddenly called out to her.

"Hey." Lin Ting quickly looked up and, seeing that they were all looking at her, said, "I'm trying to remember."

Chen's mother asked hopefully, "Have you remembered anything?"

Lin Ting: "No."

"..."
