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

The sun was high in the sky, and its rays fell on Jiang Wan's pretty face.

Lin Mu gently pinched Jiang Wan's smooth chin, his eyes lingering on her face with amusement.

Jiang Wan's brain went blank for a moment.

Seeing that Jiang Wan didn't react for a long time, Lin Mu asked again.

"I'm asking you a question, are you going to be my girlfriend or not?"

"Snapped!"

Jiang Wan, regaining her senses, abruptly slapped Lin Mu's hand away.

"Lin Mu! Are you crazy?!"

Jiang Wan was panting heavily, her face visibly flushed.

"You big idiot!"

Jiang Wan bit her lower lip, staring intently at Lin Mu. She never expected that Lin Mu's first words after three days would be a confession of love!

However, upon hearing Jiang Wan's reply, Lin Mu simply shrugged indifferently.

"Oh, so what if you're not going to date? Why are you getting so worked up? Since you're so devoted to that person, I'll stay out of the fun from now on."

Lin Mu went straight to the driver's seat, opened the door and got in, then stepped on the gas, leaving Jiang Wan behind.

Jiang Wan blinked blankly, watching the car drive further and further away.

"He... gave up? He just gave up like that?"

Jiang Wan muttered something under her breath, her expression full of confusion, and turned to walk home.

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, at Jiang Wan's house.

Jiang Wan, dressed in beige loungewear, was browsing her QQ space on her computer.

"Braised pork...my braised pork..."

She was very unhappy after breaking her diet in the morning, and all she could think about was the delicious aroma of braised pork.

As she watched, she suddenly sat up, feeling a sudden thirst.

Just as she was carrying her water glass out of the bedroom, the doorbell rang downstairs.

"Ding-dong—"

Upon hearing the sound, Song Muwan got up and walked towards the door.

"Here you are."

Jiang Wan, holding a water glass, stopped at the escalator on the second floor.

"Who are you?"

Song Muwan opened the door and saw a tall boy with a buzz cut.

"Hello, Auntie, my name is Lin Mu, and my classmate is Jiang Wan."

He was carrying an exquisite high-end gift box in one hand and a white parasol in the other.

"These are Northeastern specialties that I promised Uncle Jiang. Jiang Wan forgot the umbrella at the driving school, so I brought it over."

"Oh, it's Xiaolin. Your Uncle Jiang mentioned you to me. Xiaowan got her driver's license from you."

Song Muwan stepped aside to make room.

"Come in and have some water."

However, Lin Mu simply put the things down and waved with a smile.

"No, Auntie, I have some things to take care of at the driving school, so I'll head out now."

After saying that, Lin Mu turned and left, completely ignoring Jiang Wan in his peripheral vision.

After seeing Lin Mu leave, Jiang Wan, who was on the second floor, quickly walked to the French windows and watched Lin Mu's figure disappear around the corner of the alley.

Seeing Lin Mu's drastic change in attitude, she frowned in confusion.

"Lin Mu, what are you doing? Are you really trying to distance yourself from me?"

……

Time is a thing that sometimes passes very slowly, and sometimes it passes by so fast it defies reason.

Before we knew it, it was early August.

For more than a month, the Changyun Driving School's summer VIP club group has remained lively every day.

Lin Mu was very active in the group; he even posted a prominent recruitment message in the group in mid-July.

Those who lose me will lose me forever (Lin Mu): [Brothers and sisters, I'm single and looking for a partner. My requirements aren't high. If you're interested, add me on QQ to chat.]

The group chat was buzzing with excitement, and a few girls even added Lin Mu on QQ.

But when they asked Lin Mu about his requirements, Lin Mu only said one thing: "As long as she's prettier than Jiang Wan, that's not too much to ask, is it?"

"..."

When Jiang Wan saw Lin Mu's dating profile on QQ, she just turned over in bed, fuming.

"Hmph! It's all your fault! Give me back my braised pork!!!"

For more than a month, Lin Mu seemed to have disappeared from her sight.

After delivering the umbrella, Lin Mu never went to the driving school again, or rather, he never went there while Jiang Wan was around.

It wasn't until yesterday that Jiang Wan heard Zhang Yuan mention that Lin Mu had already obtained his driver's license.

Evening, Greentown Peach Blossom Garden, Jiang Wan's home.

"Xiao Wan, what's wrong with you lately?"

Song Muwan frowned, pointing with a worried expression at the food in front of her.

"It's been a month! Mom has made braised pork seven or eight times, and you haven't touched a single piece! Look at you, you've gotten so thin!"

Jiang Wan paused, her hand holding the chopsticks still. She looked up at the tempting braised pork in front of her and subconsciously swallowed.

But she said that if she continued to talk to Lin Mu, she would not eat braised pork for a month, and she did it.

"Mom, I haven't had much of an appetite lately, and I don't want to eat anything too greasy."

Jiang Wan resisted her craving and moved the plate of braised pork closer to Jiang Lin'an.

"Dad, you eat."

After hearing Jiang Wan's explanation, Song Muwan sighed, while Jiang Lin'an frowned and his breathing became rapid.

"Xiao Wan, do you have any other symptoms? Like vomiting or something?"

However, before Jiang Wan could answer, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Song Muwan put down her chopsticks, stood up, and walked to the living room door.

"Xiaolin?"

"Hello Aunt Song, I'm here to see Uncle Jiang."

Accompanied by a familiar voice, Lin Mu, who had disappeared from Jiang Wan's sight for more than a month, walked in carrying a thick file bag.

Upon seeing Lin Mu, Jiang Wan was startled and immediately gripped her chopsticks tightly.

He's gotten darker...

"Kobayashi's here, please have a seat."

Jiang Lin'an put down his chopsticks and invited Lin Mu to sit down on the sofa.

After Lin Mu sat down, he completely ignored Jiang Wan and placed the file bag in his hand on the coffee table.

"Uncle Jiang, my work is basically finished. So far, I've recruited more than two hundred people."

He pushed the file bag in front of Jiang Lin'an.

"We agreed before that I would take 70% of the profits and you would take 30%. Although you declined at the time, I must give you this money, so please accept it."

Upon hearing Lin Mu's words, Song Muwan tactfully pulled Jiang Wan towards the second floor, leaving the two of them alone.

"Did he make a special trip today just to completely sever ties with me?"

As she went up the stairs, Jiang Wan secretly glanced back.

Lin Mu happened to turn his head as well, and their eyes met briefly in the air.

However, Lin Mu quickly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Jiang Lin'an.

"That bastard... he actually ignored me..."

Jiang Wan pursed her pink lips and walked upstairs with a complicated look in her eyes.

At the same time, after confirming that Jiang Wan and Song Muwan had left, Jiang Lin'an got up and brewed a pot of tea.

A few minutes later, Jiang Lin'an personally poured Lin Mu a cup of tea.

Jiang Lin stared quietly at Lin Mu, his right hand unconsciously touching his waist again.

Noticing Jiang Lin'an's behavior, Lin Mu sensed something was amiss, so she tentatively asked, "Uncle Jiang, do you have something to ask me?"

Upon hearing Lin Mu bring it up, Jiang Lin'an picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Then, he swirled the teacup with a deep look in his eyes.

"Lin Mu".

Lin Mu immediately sat up straight, adopting a humble and eager-to-learn attitude.

"Uncle Jiang, please tell me, I will definitely tell you everything I know."

"Did you...do something to Xiao Wan?"
