Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Whenever she saw Chen Dong and Guo Miao studying diligently in the classroom, a hint of panic would flash in her eyes.

Shen Yue thought to herself, "Why are they working so hard? Could Guo Miao really surpass me in just one month?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"I'm sure I won't lose this time. I've put in a lot of effort to study."

On May 24th, night fell like a giant black ribbon, quietly covering the entire campus.

The bell rang crisply, signaling the end of evening self-study, echoing across the campus.

Chen Dong and Guo Miao pushed their bicycles side by side, slowly walking towards the school gate.

The dim streetlights cast a hazy glow in the night, illuminating the two slender figures.

Just as I arrived at the school gate, about to hop on my bicycle and ride home...

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from the side.

The monkey, looking flustered, hurriedly threw away the cigarette still emitting wisps of smoke and rushed over with two thuggish-looking henchmen.

As he ran, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brother Dong, Brother Dong, wait a minute!"

Hearing the shout, Chen Dong turned his head slightly, his eyes filled with curiosity and doubt.

Chen Dong stopped what he was doing, his gaze fixed on the monkey, trying to find an answer in its face.

Guo Miao frowned instinctively, his eyes revealing obvious worry and vigilance.

He turned slightly to the side and quietly placed his hand on the back of the bicycle, his fingers gripping the frame tightly.

If anything went wrong, he was prepared to throw the bicycle at the uninvited guests without hesitation to protect himself and Chen Dong.

The monkey ran up to Chen Dong, panting, stopped, and put on a fawning smile.

The monkey spoke up, "Brother Dong, Third Sister wants you to come over. She says there's been a result regarding your matter."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, his mind racing as he tried to figure out what was going on.

A moment later, his eyes suddenly lit up. He recalled how he had taken out 10,000 yuan and asked his third sister to help him buy stocks. He immediately felt reassured.

Chen Dong quickly nodded and replied, "Okay, I understand. I'll go over there tomorrow at noon."

Seeing this, the monkey grinned at Chen Dong, then turned and hurriedly left with his two henchmen.

After the three monkeys had completely disappeared into the night, Guo Miao finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and worry.

Guo Miao asked, "Brother Dong, why do they also call you Brother Dong? You didn't actually get involved in the underworld, did you?"

His eyes were filled with concern and unease as he stared intently at Chen Dong, seemingly trying to find the most truthful answer in his gaze.

Seeing Guo Miao's nervous expression, Chen Dong couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Chen Dong replied casually, "How could that be? I just know them and can get them to help me with some things. What future is there in mingling in the underworld?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing."

Guo Miao listened to Chen Dong's words, and although he still had some doubts, he could only sigh helplessly.

Then Guo Miao nodded.

Then, the two got on their bicycles and slowly rode towards home.

Along the way, the night was as still as water, and a gentle breeze caressed my cheeks.

Neither of them spoke, each lost in their own thoughts.

The next day at noon, the sun shone brightly, and soft light filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

The school cafeteria was bustling with noise, laughter, and chatter, creating a unique symphony of sounds on campus.

Chen Dong, Chu Mengran, and Guo Miao were sitting around a dining table, enjoying their lunch.

Suddenly, Chen Dong put down his chopsticks, a look of apology on his face.

Chen Dong looked at Chu Mengran and said, "Mengran, I have to go out to school to take care of some things later, so I probably won't be able to stay with you."

Chu Mengran raised her head, her face beaming with understanding, and nodded gently.

Then, Chu Mengran said gently, "It's okay, Chen Dong, you don't need to worry about me."

"Go and do your thing."

Guo Miao sat to the side, silently watching the two of them, her lips moving slightly.

He seemed to want to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent, simply lowering his head and eating his meal quietly.

"Since Brother Dong said it was no problem, and he didn't even tell Chu Mengran or invite me along."

"Then it should be fine, and I don't need to come along. I'll continue eating."

Guo Miao thought helplessly to himself.

After dinner, Chen Dong said goodbye to Chu Mengran and Guo Miao, and rode his bicycle alone at breakneck speed to the arcade.

The arcade was dimly lit, filled with a strong smell of smoke and the cacophony of video game sound effects.

As soon as Chen Dong entered the door, Lu Tie spotted him with his sharp eyes.

Lu Tie quickly called over a junior employee to stand in at the counter, then strode over to Chen Dong.

With a mysterious smile on her face, she said, "Chen Dong, let's go, Third Sister is waiting for you at the dance hall."

Chen Dong nodded slightly and followed Lu Tie toward the dance hall.

Neither of them spoke a word the entire way, their steps hurried.

Before long, they arrived at the dance hall.

Lu Tie led Chen Dong through the noisy dance floor with practiced ease, heading straight for the second floor.

Arriving at Tiger's private room, Lu Tie gently knocked on the door.

The door was quickly opened, and Tiger's booming voice rang out: "Hey, Brother Chen Dong, you've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for ages."

As he spoke, he warmly reached out and patted Chen Dong's shoulder forcefully.

Chen Dong replied with a smile, "Brother Tiger, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Tiger laughed as he ushered Chen Dong into the private room.

Then, the tiger shouted to one of his henchmen, "Go quickly and call Third Sister over."

The younger brother nodded quickly, turned around, and hurriedly left.

Chen Dong entered the private room and looked around.

The private room was dimly lit and filled with the smell of smoke and alcohol.

Tiger's henchmen were sitting on the sofa. When they saw Chen Dong enter, they all stood up and respectfully greeted him in unison, "Hello, Brother Dong!"

Chen Dong nodded slightly to them, then walked to the sofa and slowly sat down.

Tiger also sat down next to Chen Dong.

Meanwhile, Tiger's henchmen also wisely left the private room.

Tiger's face was full of smiles as he said, "Brother Chen Dong, you really made the right bet this time. Third Sister has helped you earn quite a bit this time."

Chen Dong's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly asked, "Brother Tiger, really? How much can we earn?"

Tiger smiled mysteriously, held up a finger and waved it in front of Chen Dong, saying, "At least this much."
