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

"Brother Dong, I just thought you were going to go back to being a simp."

Guo Miao, who caught up with him, said with a grin.

However, his eyes glanced at Chen Dong holding Chu Mengran's hand, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"Dong-ge has really changed now; he's even taking the initiative now!"

"This is going to turn a simp into a Casanova!"

Guo Miao thought enviously to himself, wondering if he should also find a girlfriend to talk to.

Otherwise, it would be too unpleasant to be constantly bombarded with displays of affection from others.

"How could that be? I said I wouldn't pursue Shen Yue, and I won't."

"Shen Yue is a vicious woman, she's not worth my time."

"I was blind before, I had no taste. Now, I will never fawn over Shen Yue like I used to!"

Chen Dong hummed to himself, then looked at Chu Mengran, who had her head down.

"Mengran, what exactly happened last time?"

"Can you tell me?"

Chen Dong inquired with concern.

He wanted to open Chu Mengran's heart.

Chu Mengran shook her head, not saying a word, but also trying to break free from Chen Dong's hand.

Fearing that Chu Mengran would get hurt, Chen Dong had no choice but to let go.

Chu Mengran kept her head down the whole time, didn't say a word, and silently moved forward.

After walking for a while, Guo Miao suddenly realized something was wrong.

Guo Miao quickly said, "Dong, Brother Dong, it seems we still left our bicycles at school, what should we do?"

Chen Dong was taken aback, but it wasn't a problem with his bicycle.

Instead, he looked at Chu Mengran and quickly asked, "Mengran, where's your bicycle?"

"Do your parents expect you to walk home like this every time you get out of school?"

Upon hearing the words "parents," a flicker of fear flashed in Chu Mengran's eyes, which were lowered as she looked down.

He shook his head slightly, but still didn't say anything.

"Chu Mengran, Brother Dong is asking you a question, at least answer him!"

Guo Miao was displeased and raised her voice slightly.

Even so, it seemed to frighten Chu Mengran.

This made Chu Mengran quicken her pace slightly, as if she wanted to escape from Chen Dong and Guo Miao.

"Hey, what's wrong with you!"

Guo Miao reached out to grab Chu Mengran.

"never mind."

Chen Dong frowned and put his hand on Guo Miao's shoulder.

"Hey, whatever you say, Dong-ge."

Guo Miao sighed helplessly.

He muttered to himself, "Dong-ge is hopeless. Both girls he's chasing are problematic."

"But Chu Mengran is at least a little better than Shen Yue; at least she doesn't bully Dong Ge like that."

After walking another twenty steps or so, Chen Dong confirmed that Chu Mengran's route was the route home.

He then turned to Guo Miao and said, "Guo Miao, you go back to school first and help me push my bicycle home."

"I'll keep an eye on Mengran; I'm worried about letting her go back alone."

"After you park your bicycle, go to my house and tell my parents that I took my female classmate home."

"okay, I get it."

Guo Miao nodded, then turned and ran.

He trailed Chu Mengran by about ten steps, following behind her until they were almost at Chu Mengran's home.

Chu Mengran suddenly stopped and turned to look at Chen Dong.

Chen Dong paused for a moment, then quickly stepped forward.

"Mengran, what's wrong?"

Chu Mengran blushed, quickly lowered her head, and her fingers twirled in front of her.

After a moment, Chu Mengran mustered her courage and raised her head.

Her innocent face was flushed, and she pursed her lips as she said, "Chen, Chen Dong, you can leave here."

"Thank you for sending me back."

"But, could you please stop getting so close to me?"

"I, I, I'm not good enough for you!"

Chu Mengran turned around, lowered her head, and ran away.

Chen Dong frowned, instinctively sensing that something was seriously wrong.

Watching Chu Mengran leave, Chen Dong did not go away, but pondered deeply.

A few seconds later, Chen Dong quietly followed.

This time, Chen Dong was like a private detective with the surname Mori, hiding in various corners.

He watched from behind one or two corners of the wall as Chu Mengran entered the residential area.

After waiting for about ten seconds, Chen Dong walked out confidently.

"Hmm? It's you again, kid."

The gatekeeper saw Chen Dong and immediately smiled.

He clearly remembered the few dollars Chen Dong had bribed him with last time.

"Sir, can I come in?"

Chen Dong skillfully pulled out five yuan and looked at the gatekeeper with an innocent expression.

"Are you going to Old Meng's house to see his daughter?"

"Since you're visiting, there's no need for that."

"Go inside, and remember not to cause any trouble."

Although the gatekeeper really wanted it, this time was different from last time.

The gatekeeper, though a man of principle, waved his hand and let Chen Dong in.

"Thank you, gatekeeper. I'll buy you cigarettes next time I come over."

Chen Dong bowed slightly in thanks and gave a cheerful promise.

"This kid knows how to handle people."

Are all high school students these days so shrewd?

The gatekeeper shook his head, amused.

Based on his memory, he went to the building he had visited before and found the floor where Chu Mengran's home was located.

Chen Dong did not knock on the door. Instead, he looked around to make sure there were no footsteps, then pressed his ear against the door.

In those days, everyone was still very poor, so there wasn't much to steal from homes.

Every household has a traditional wooden door.

The one in Chu Mengran's house is at most double-layered, and it's a little thicker.

Chen Dong, who was eavesdropping, quickly heard the sounds coming from inside.

"It doesn't seem to be in the living room, but in the bedroom?"

"I can't hear very clearly, but I can only make out what sounds like shouting and cursing."

"As expected, Chu Mengran's suicide in her previous life was not due to school bullying."

Chen Dong tried to eavesdrop repeatedly, but couldn't hear clearly, so he gave up.

He turned and walked downstairs.

Staying too long makes it easy to be noticed, especially when school or get off work is over.

“In my past life, I didn’t turn around and chase after Meng Ran like I do now.”

"Then those three bitches, Shen Yue, won't bully Meng Ran anymore."

"As for Yu Qin and the others, judging from our conversation with Guo Miao last time, they are at most indifferent, but they won't bully others."

"So, Mengran's attempt to commit suicide on the rooftop was due to domestic violence?"

"The conflict between the stepfather and stepdaughter? But what exactly is the reason?"

Chen Dong couldn't figure it out.

"It's definitely not going to work to ask Mengran directly, or Mengran's parents."

"We need to ask around from multiple sources, including the security guard and the food company."

"Let's also see if we can find out where Mengran's mother works, and approach it from multiple angles."

With this in mind, Chen Dong went straight home.

It's too late now, and there's not enough time.

It was already 8 p.m. when I got home.

"You brat, you finally decided to come back!"

On the living room sofa, Chen Jianguo looked at his son with a sullen face, his expression showing displeasure.

"I thought you had changed your mind, but it turns out you just changed your target."

"Can't you be a little more ambitious, kid?"

"Are you still hoping to use my bus to take your new target to and from school?"

Chen Jianguo couldn't help but scold him irritably.
