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

Chen Dong and Chu Mengran were extremely busy, focusing all their attention on dealing with their aunt Chen Guilan's matter.

First, they found a safe and comfortable new home for Auntie.

While helping with the move, I sorted through the items one by one. Each item carried my aunt's memories of the past and also expressed her hopes for a stable life in the future.

Then, without stopping, they helped Chu Mengran's mother, Chu Yu, move.

We meticulously arranged every detail to ensure that both elders could live comfortably in their new environment.

Now that everything has been settled, Chen Dong and Chu Mengran plan to return to Beiping to continue their studies at Tsinghua University.

Before leaving, a faint sense of melancholy permeated the warm atmosphere at Chen Dong's home.

Li Huazhen felt a deep sense of reluctance to part with Chu Mengran, her future daughter-in-law.

She gently took Chu Mengran's hand and led her to the side, where the two sat side by side on the sofa.

Li Huazhen's eyes were full of concern and affection as she said softly, "Mengran, you must take good care of yourself when you go back."

"The weather in Beiping is dry, so you should drink more water and avoid getting a sore throat."

As he spoke, he gently patted the back of Chu Mengran's hand.

Chu Mengran smiled and nodded, obediently replying, "Auntie, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."

Li Huazhen continued, "Also, Dongzi is sometimes a bit careless and not very good at taking care of people."

"If anything happens to you, don't bear it alone; talk to him."

"If he misbehaves or bullies you, just call your auntie and she'll teach him a lesson for you!"

As he spoke, he even made a feigned angry expression.

Chu Mengran couldn't help but laugh, her face flushed, and said, "Auntie, Dongzi is so good to me, he won't bully me."

"But I've kept your words in mind. If anything happens, I'll definitely tell you."

On the other side, Chen Dong and his father Chen Jianguo stood on the balcony, the winter sun shining on them, bringing a touch of warmth.

Chen Dong said to his father with a serious expression, "Dad, you'll have to put a lot of effort into keeping Aunt Chu Yu's second husband, Meng Zhengguo."

“He did a lot of terrible things to Chu Mengran and her daughter before, so we can’t let him off so easily.”

Chen Jianguo puffed out his chest, looking confident, and patted Chen Dong on the shoulder, saying, "Son, don't worry!"

"There's nothing wrong with this, it just takes some time."

“I am the deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau, although I have no jurisdiction over the state-owned cannery where Meng Zhengguo works.”

"But there are still ways to deal with a mere workshop director like him."

"Make more connections, treat him to meals, and he'll eventually pay the price for his actions."

Chen Dong nodded, his eyes full of trust in his father: "Dad, I knew you had a way."

"Then I'll have to trouble you. You must make sure Meng Zhengguo knows that bullying others comes at a price."

Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "Just go back to school and focus on your studies. Leave things here to me. I'll definitely handle it perfectly."

Then, Chen Dong and Chu Mengran walked up to Chen Jianguo and Li Huazhen.

Chen Dong looked at his parents, his eyes filled with reluctance: "Dad, Mom, we're leaving. Take good care of yourselves at home. Call me if anything happens."

Li Huazhen's eyes reddened slightly as she instructed, "Be careful on the road, and remember to let us know you've arrived at school safely."

Chu Mengran also said, "Uncle and Aunt, thank you for taking care of us during this time. We will keep in touch."

After saying goodbye, Chen Dong and Chu Mengran pulled their suitcases, walked out of the house, and got into a taxi.

The car slowly started moving, and they said goodbye to Chen Jianguo and Li Huazhen, who were waving from the doorway, through the car window.

As they watched their parents' figures gradually disappear into the distance, Chen Dong and Chu Mengran felt both anticipation for their future studies and longing for their families.

Back in Beiping, sunlight streamed through the window onto the desk in his dormitory. Chen Dong sat at the desk, surrounded by piles of books and notes.

For the past three days, he had taken leave to deal with his aunt's affairs and to take care of Chu Mengran's mother. Now, the academic problems he had fallen behind on weighed heavily on his mind.

He knew that he could not slack off in his studies, so he spent the whole day burying himself in his studies.

He first carefully reviewed the course materials that the professor had uploaded to the school's intranet, trying to understand the complex academic concepts word by word.

When I encountered something I didn't understand, I marked it in my notebook.

Next, he borrowed class notes from his classmates and, comparing them with his own understanding, filled in the gaps in his knowledge.

When he encountered problems that were truly difficult to understand, he would consult professors via the campus phone. The professors patiently answered his questions, which made things clear to him.

By the time I finished all of this, it was already Friday evening.

As the last rays of the setting sun bathed the campus paths, Chen Dong strolled through the campus and dialed Guo Miao's landline.

After the call was connected, a dial tone came from the receiver.

A moment later, Guo Miao's familiar voice came through: "Hey, Dong-ge, what's up?"

Chen Dong smiled and said, "Guo Miao, this is Chen Dong. Do you and Yu Qin have any plans for this Saturday?"

"If not, would you be interested in coming to see my pig farm?"

"The construction has been progressing very quickly in the last month or two, and I can't wait to share it with you all."

Guo Miao put down the magazine she was reading and turned to look at Yu Qin, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

She covered the microphone with her hand and asked in a low voice, "Yu Qin, Dongzi invited us to visit his pig farm on Saturday. Do you want to go?"

Yu Qin's eyes lit up, and she immediately turned down the TV volume, excitedly saying, "Let's go! I'm really curious!"

After receiving the reply, Guo Miao said into the microphone, "Brother Dong, sure! Yu Qin and I are both interested. Let's go together on Saturday!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong smiled broadly and said, "Great! See you on Saturday! I'll pick you up then."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Dong quickened his pace and returned to his dormitory.

Chu Mengran was sitting on the edge of the bed reading a novel when she saw Chen Dong return. She put down the book and asked with a smile, "What were you chatting about with Guo Miao? You seemed so happy."

Chen Dong sat down next to Chu Mengran, took her hand and said, "I invited Guo Miao and Yu Qin to visit our pig farm on Saturday, and they both agreed."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mengran's eyes lit up with excitement, and she exclaimed, "Really? That's wonderful!"

“I’ve wanted to go with them for a long time. Last time I went, construction had just started, so it must have changed a lot this time.”

Early Saturday morning, the sun was shining brightly and a gentle breeze was blowing.

Chen Dong arrived at the school gate early to wait.

A short while later, Chu Mengran, Guo Miao, and Yu Qin walked over, chatting and laughing.

"Brother Dong, it's been several days!"

Guo Miao waved and greeted him from afar.
