So what if I only have a junior college degree? It won't stop me from marrying the bureau chief

Banquet hall of a star-rated hotel in Lin'an City.

Lin Mu, dressed in an inexpensive suit, was quietly drinking in a corner.

Seventeen years later, the classmates gathered together for a reunion, raising their glasses in toasts.

Several old classmates who were doing very well were talking loudly about the stock market and company market value.

"Old Lin, come and toast the squad leader!"

Lin Mu's childhood friend, Wang Zixing, came over and pulled him to toast the class monitor.

"The class monitor has started a company now. For the sake of our old classmate relationship, he might be able to arrange a job for you. As for Uncle Lin and Aunt Zhou's matter... you should move on from it."

Upon hearing Wang Zixing's words, Lin Mu's mind flashed back to the disappointed faces of his parents before their deaths.

His eyes were glazed over as he raised his glass and took a mindless gulp.

"Yes, it's time to move on."

He twitched the corners of his mouth, forcing out an ugly smile.

"squeak--"

Just then, the banquet hall door made a sound, and then a beautiful figure pushed the door open and walked in.

The newcomer wore a long brown overcoat, her long hair loosely tied back, and her youthful and beautiful appearance made her stand out among the group of middle-aged people in their thirties inside the room.

She smiled faintly as she looked at everyone.

"Hello everyone, it's been a long time."

"Oh! President Jiang is here! Please have a seat!"

Squad leader Song Xinghe immediately jogged over to greet him, his face beaming with smiles.

"How's Mr. Jiang doing lately? Is the project going smoothly?"

Upon hearing this address, Lin Mu trembled, then casually glanced at the person who had approached.

Jiang Wan, the campus belle of Lin'an University, the daughter of the provincial public security bureau chief, and also his ex-wife.

Jiang Wan smiled slightly and nodded gently.

"Everything is fine, thank you for your concern."

"I really envy President Jiang; she's still as beautiful as ever!"

"Hahaha……"

The surrounding classmates chimed in.

Yes, she's still so beautiful.

Lin Mu gave a self-deprecating laugh, raised his glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Beautiful women are all the same!

"Jiang Wan, your skin is so good! How do you take care of it?!"

"Thank you, we'll talk about it in detail when we get back."

"Mr. Jiang, our company has a project that we hope you can attend and provide guidance on."

"Okay, we can discuss this in detail when we have the chance."

"Wan'er, are you still single?"

"Yes, I haven't dated anyone since I broke up with my ex-husband."

"I'm so envious. I wonder who has such great abilities that our CEO Jiang can't forget them."

Meanwhile, Jiang Wan was busy getting rid of her old classmates.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Wan slowly walked towards the "capable" person.

Looking at Jiang Wan under the lamplight, Lin Mu was once again in a daze, and the sweet memories of the past kept surfacing in his mind.

"Lin Mu".

Finally, Jiang Wan came to Lin Mu and looked at him with her lips pursed.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Upon hearing Jiang Wan's words, Lin Mu was momentarily speechless. He could only force a smile and nod stiffly.

"Long time no see, Mr. Jiang... Mr. Jiang."

"General Manager Jiang?"

Upon hearing this form of address, Jiang Wan's expression suddenly became very complicated.

Finally, she sighed softly, said "We'll talk later," and went to chat with the others.

Wang Zixing walked over at this moment, patted Lin Mu on the shoulder, and sighed with emotion.

However, the past cannot be retrieved, and the youthful days are long gone. Before long, he started talking about the mundane realities of daily life again.

"Old Lin, how about I go with you to beg the squad leader? If you don't find a job soon, you won't be able to pay your rent."

"Old Wang, I'm going out for a smoke. You don't need to follow me."

Lin Mu stood up and, without waiting for Wang Zixing's reply, fled the banquet hall.

……

The city's neon lights were blindingly bright.

Lin Mu walked blankly along the roadside, the evening wind whistling in his ears.

As he walked, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Fuck Jiang Wan..."

Lin Mu raised his head, his eyes filled with an unprecedented determination.

"I'm not putting up with this anymore! Do whatever you want!"

"Buzz—"

Just as Lin Mu made up his mind to start a new life, his phone rang.

He picked up the phone and answered; Wang Zixing's voice came from the other end.

"Old Lin! Where are you? Jiang Wan just went out; she said she has something to tell you!"

"You have something to say to me?"

Lin Mu gave a cold snort.

"What else is there to say? Old Wang, tell her for me that from now on, I, Lin Mu..."

"Beep beep beep!!!"

However, before he could finish speaking, a piercing horn suddenly blared into his ears.

He turned his head and saw a little girl standing blankly on the zebra crossing.

To the little girl's right, an out-of-control truck was speeding toward her.

"What are you standing there for?! Get out of the way!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Mu immediately threw away his phone and rushed towards the little girl while shouting.

Just seconds before the truck was about to hit the child, Lin Mu finally reached the little girl's side, picked her up, and shoved her aside.

"Phew... thankfully I made it in time."

Lin Mu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at the little girl beside him.

Are you alright?

"Big, big brother."

The little girl tentatively reached out her hand.

Following the direction of her finger, Lin Mu couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Suddenly, the truck began to sway violently from side to side, and the two people who had been safe just moments before were instantly put in danger again.

"run!"

Lin Mu roared as he scrambled to his feet, but the car was already only a few meters away from them.

"Hold!"

Finally, a split second before being hit, Lin Mu exerted all his strength and pushed the little girl away.

"Bang--!"

With a muffled thud, Lin Mu rolled a long way away.

The world fell silent.

"Lin Mu!!!"

Lin Mu lay on the road, blood blurring his vision, his mind a complete mess.

He felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and the screams around him getting farther and farther away.

In a daze, he seemed to hear a woman's heart-wrenching cries.

Lin Mu tried to raise his hand, but couldn't feel it.

Finally, he gently closed his eyes and completely lost consciousness.

"Waaaaah... Honey, please wake up, don't leave me alone..."

……

"Lin Mu! Are you a pig?!"

A solid slap landed on the back of his head.

"Um?"

When Lin Mu opened his eyes again, he saw a middle-aged woman standing with her hands on her hips, lecturing him.

"Mom? You've come to pick me up?"

Zhou Yiyun slapped him on the back of the head again.

"What mother? I'm not your mother. You're talking nonsense first thing in the morning."

She shoved a bowl into Lin Mu's arms.

"You look terrible after the results came out. You still expect to go to the same university as Jiang Wan? Your score is only good enough for a junior college, son. Give up on that idea."

Lin Mu shook his head, then pinched his arm hard.

"Pain? This isn't a dream?!"

His eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"I've been reborn?!"

"Strange and mysterious."

Zhou Yiyun kicked him in annoyance.

Lin Mu didn't mind. He wiped his face and then gave Zhou Yiyun a bear hug.

"Mom, I love you."

"Get lost, just stop making me angry."

Zhou Yiyun pushed Lin Mu away with a look of disgust.

Lin Mu chuckled and shook the empty bowl in his hand.

"Mom, let's not talk about this now, I'm going to get the rice."

"Oh, why is Young Master Lin being so well-behaved? Need pocket money again?"

Zhou Yiyun rolled her eyes at Lin Mu, annoyed.

"I'll give you the money later. Pack your things before you go to the party; it might be the last time we meet, so make sure you leave a good impression."

"A reunion? A class reunion?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu rubbed his chin.

He looked out the window; the sky was a clear blue, and there wasn't a single tall building in sight.

"Okay, Mom, I'll go get the rice now."

Lin Mu walked out of the bedroom, frowning as he recalled.

"Looks like I've gone back to 2009."

As he entered the kitchen, he ladled noodles into a bowl, silently making up his mind.

"Now that I've been given a second chance at life, I'm determined to make sure my parents live a good life!"

Immediately afterward, another thought flashed in Lin Mu's eyes.

"Jiang Wan...it seems like she's going to lose her virginity tonight?"
