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

Ten minutes later, at Jiang Wan's house.

Crossing the front garden, Lin Mu and Jiang Wan walked together toward the living room door.

With a "click," Jiang Wan pushed open the living room door.

Lin Mu followed behind and changed into slippers. As soon as he looked up, he saw a handsome middle-aged man sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

"Holy crap, your dad's home?! Um... how about I come another day?"

Seeing his father-in-law at home, Lin Muhu was startled and immediately wanted to turn around and leave.

"What? Are you scared already?"

Seeing Lin Mu's flustered appearance, Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows smugly and smiled slightly.

"Too late! My dad has already noticed you!"

On the sofa, Jiang Wan's father, Jiang Lin'an, looked towards the door.

When he saw the two figures at the door, especially Jiang Wan carrying a bag, he immediately frowned.

He didn't remember Jiang Wan carrying a bag when she went out.

"Phew... Damn it, I can't lose face!"

Lin Mu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and walked towards the sofa.

He met Jiang Lin'an's gaze and walked to the sofa, chuckling awkwardly as he spoke, "Dad...you exude such domineering presence! Uncle Jiang truly lives up to his reputation as the pillar of Lin'an!"

Lin Mu was still quite intimidated by Jiang Lin'an.

In his past life, after learning that he had a relationship with Jiang Wan, Jiang Lin'an almost killed him. He really almost did.

Although he later married Jiang Wan, in Jiang Lin'an's eyes, he was the one who ruined Jiang Wan's otherwise brilliant life, so she never gave him a kind look.

On the sofa, Jiang Lin'an picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked at Lin Mu expressionlessly.

"You must be Xiao Wan."

"Hello Uncle Jiang, my name is Lin Mu."

Lin Mu greeted him respectfully.

At this moment, Jiang Wan also came to their side, looking aggrieved.

She placed her shoulder bag on the coffee table, unzipped it, revealing a hundred-yuan bill inside.

"Dad, Lin Mufei is pestering me to be his spokesperson. He's collecting registration fees from other people under my name."

After recounting Lin Mu's "crimes," Jiang Wan sat on the sofa and innocently winked at Lin Mu.

Are they harassing my daughter? Are they collecting money in my daughter's name?

Jiang Lin'an's face instantly darkened, and his gaze was fixed on Lin Mu.

He said coldly, "Lin Mu, explain yourself."

"Damn Jiang Wan, I knew you'd cause trouble!"

Lin Mu muttered a complaint to himself.

"Luckily, I've already figured out what to say."

Lin Mu straightened up and looked directly into Jiang Lin'an's eyes.

"Uncle Jiang, this money is a deposit for enrollment at the driving school. All the paperwork and official seals are complete. I'm just an enrollment agent, not a fraudster."

Lin Mu looked at Jiang Wan.

"We asked Jiang Wan for help because she has high prestige at school and is the most suitable partner."

Lin Mu then looked at Jiang Lin'an, his face completely open and honest.

"Uncle Jiang, don't worry, I won't ruin Jiang Wan's reputation. If Jiang Wan wants to, she can withdraw at any time. Of course, I won't let Jiang Wan help for nothing; we'll split the agency fees 30/70."

"In addition, I will cover her certification fees. I will apply to the manager to arrange a skilled female instructor for her, one-on-one cycling."

Hearing Lin Mu's words, Jiang Wan pouted unconvinced.

"Can I really just quit whenever I want?"

But she was afraid that if she exposed Lin Mu again, he would simply fight to the death, so she kept quiet. After all, she had already achieved her goal of warning him, and she figured Lin Mu wouldn't dare to use her father's name to do anything anymore.

After listening to the report and seeing the official document in his bag, Jiang Lin'an's expression softened slightly. However, noticing Jiang Wan's unconvinced look, he frowned and looked at Lin Mu.

"At such a young age, he handles things with impeccable skill."

Jiang Lin'an put down his teacup and calmly gazed at Lin Mu.

"But you can take back the 30/70 agency fee. Our family doesn't need the money. Whether Xiaowan is willing to help you or not is her business."

Jiang Lin'an changed the subject, warning her word by word: "But remember one thing clearly: she's going to driving school to learn to drive. If she gets involved in any dirty business during her driving lessons, or if I hear any gossip..."

Jiang Lin'an leaned forward slightly, his tone serious.

"I'm about to make a trip to your house."

After hearing Jiang Lin'an's warning, Lin Mu immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

"Uncle Jiang is right; I was too materialistic in my view of classmate relationships."

He straightened up again, patted his chest, and said, "Don't worry, I will not cause Jiang Wan any trouble whatsoever."

Jiang Wan, sitting on the other side of the sofa, picked up her water glass and took a small sip, clearly dissatisfied with the exchange.

In her expectations, Lin Mu should have been more flustered, perhaps even unable to speak fluently, rather than handling things so flawlessly as he did now.

The calmer Lin Mu was, the harder it was for her to get rid of him.

Seeing Lin Mu's "obediently admitting his mistake" posture, Jiang Lin'an nodded.

"He's slippery, but his underlying nature isn't too bad."

Jiang Lin'an looked away and picked up the newspaper from the coffee table again.

"Alright, since it's a legitimate business, you can handle it as you see fit. But take your own things; what's the point of letting my daughter take them?"

"It was my fault. I asked Jiang Wan to carry it for me to save time. Don't worry, Uncle Jiang, it won't happen again."

Lin Mu turned to Jiang Wan and asked with a smile, "Jiang Wan, may I go get my ID card now? The coach is waiting."

"oh."

Jiang Wan put down her water glass and stood up. With her back to Jiang Lin'an, she glared fiercely at Lin Mu.

As Jiang Wan went upstairs, only Lin Mu and Jiang Lin'an remained in the living room.

The air suddenly became quiet, with only the rustling sound of Jiang Lin'an turning the pages of the newspaper.

After watching Jiang Wan disappear on the second floor, Lin Mu quietly observed his father-in-law two minutes later.

Jiang Lin'an frowned slightly and occasionally rubbed his temples.

Lin Mu's mind raced, and he immediately put on a worried expression, leaning forward to check the surroundings.

"Uncle Jiang, you must be quite busy lately?"

Lin Mu lowered his voice, his tone concerned, "You don't look too well. Do you often stay up late?"

Jiang Lin'an paused in flipping through the newspaper, then glanced up at him.

"What, you know about traditional Chinese medicine?"

"Hi, just a quick overview."

Lin Mu scratched his head modestly.

"I heard about it from my cousin. He does wholesale medicinal herbs in Changbai Mountain, so I know a lot about this."

With that topic in mind, he brought it up naturally.

"He sent two boxes of wild ginseng home a few days ago, saying it's good for replenishing qi and blood, and is especially helpful for people with high-intensity jobs and those who often stay up late. My parents are in good health, but they get nosebleeds easily from eating that stuff."

Lin Mu seemed to suddenly remember something and immediately slapped his thigh.

"Uncle Jiang, this wild ginseng is perfect for you! You're the pillar of Lin'an, you must take good care of your health!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin'an looked Lin Mu up and down, his face full of sincerity.

Over the years, he had seen all sorts of sycophants, but he had never seen a kid like Lin Mu who, after being reprimanded, dared to come and offer gifts with a grin.

However, Jiang Lin'an immediately frowned and his tone became more serious.

"Stop! You're so young, don't learn those bad habits from society. I don't accept gifts, you should keep them for your parents."

"Uncle Jiang, how can this be called accepting a gift?!"

Lin Mu beat his chest and stamped his feet, looking heartbroken.

"That's a local specialty from Northeast China. It's worth the same as radishes in the mountains, practically worthless! Besides, Jiang Wan has helped me so much, so as her classmate, it's only right that I show my respect to you on her behalf."

"Lin Mu, what nonsense are you spouting now?! That's my dad, you don't need to show him any filial piety!"
