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

"What have you done?"

Upon hearing Jiang Lin'an's words, Lin Mu pondered for a moment.

"I have indeed done quite a few things. Which one are you asking about?"

But when he looked up and saw his father-in-law's increasingly somber expression, he finally realized what his father-in-law meant.

"Uncle Jiang! I didn't do anything!"

Lin Mu hurriedly raised his hands, his hair standing on end.

"I swear, I didn't touch her even a hair on her head!"

Seeing Lin Mu's reaction, Jiang Lin'an frowned and stared intently at him.

"Never touched it? Then why has she suddenly stopped eating any meat lately?"

"I really don't know!"

Lin Mu was completely bewildered and lowered his voice to frantically protest his innocence.

"Uncle Jiang, you can't wrong me about this! I admit we had a little argument a month ago, but to avoid upsetting her, I haven't seen her for a whole month!"

After listening to Lin Mu's explanation, Jiang Lin'an raised his teacup and took a sip, his expression meaningful.

Then, he began to observe Lin Mu's micro-expressions.

In his view, Lin Mu showed absolutely no sign of guilt at this moment.

However, he also learned some useful information, such as that Jiang Wan was most likely the reason she became like this because of Lin Mu.

"Alright, put your hand down."

Jiang Lin'an snorted coldly and removed his hand from his waist.

"You'd better not have anything going on. If I find out, you know what will happen."

"Understood! Absolutely not!"

"Damn it, with my father-in-law's temper, if I really messed with Wanza... he'd definitely kill me!"

Lin Mu felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat.

Jiang Lin'an didn't keep him any longer. After all, this concerned his daughter's reputation and self-esteem. If it was false, it would embarrass his daughter if he confronted her directly. If it was true, he would naturally have other ways to verify it.

Thirty minutes later, Jiang Lin'an specially bought a box of green plums from outside.

To verify whether his worst-case scenario was true, he decided to take a test.

"Xiao Wan, come and sit down."

When Jiang Lin'an returned home, he waved to Jiang Wan and placed the green plum in front of her.

"This was just brought over by Dad's colleague. He said it's to whet your appetite. You haven't had much of an appetite these past few days, so try this."

"Thank you, Dad."

Jiang Wan picked up a plum and took a bite without any warning.

next second.

"Wow--!"

Jiang Wan stuck out her tongue from the sour taste of the green plum as soon as she put it in her mouth.

"Dad! What is this? It's so sour!"

Jiang Wan quickly poured a large glass of warm water and complained to her father in a coquettish tone.

"You idiot dad! You know perfectly well I don't like sour foods!"

Seeing that her daughter still resisted sour food, Jiang Lin'an finally felt relieved.

Jiang Lin'an smiled and shook his head, then quickly apologized.

"It's Dad's fault, Dad apologizes to you."

……

The scene shifts to Weida Internet Cafe.

"Damn it, I almost died there."

Lin Mu wiped his sweat and went straight to the private room in the internet cafe.

Inside the private room, Wang Zixing was wearing headphones, staring at the computer screen with a silly grin on his face.

Lin Mu leaned closer to take a look and immediately became furious.

It's been over a month, and Wang Zixing's chat with the cute girl Jiang Luming is still stuck in the boring daily greetings stage.

Light Clouds and Gentle Breeze (Wang Zixing): [Good morning, junior! It's hot today, remember to drink plenty of hot water (flowers)]

The wolf hunting in the field (Jiang Luming): [Okay, senior, you too~ [cute]]

"Snapped!"

Lin Mu slapped Wang Zixing on the back of the head.

"Hey! Brother Lin, what are you doing!"

Wang Zixing covered his head and turned around.

"What am I doing? I'd like to ask you what you're doing!"

Lin Mu ruffled Wang Zixing's hair with a look of exasperation.

"Hey Xing, I've entrusted this girl to you for a month, and what have you been doing? Raising a virtual pet?! All you do is say 'good morning' and 'good night' and 'drink more water.' School's starting soon, and you haven't made any real progress?"

"Lin, Brother Lin, what do you know? This is what sincerity looks like!"

Wang Zixing blushed as she retorted.

"Feelings need to be nurtured slowly. Lu Ming is so innocent; if I'm too aggressive, I'll definitely scare her away!"

Lin Mu ignored Wang Zixing's attempts to stop him and began scrolling through their chat history from the past month.

"Holy crap! That's incredible! It's amazing that the girl stayed with you for over a month! A perfect match!"

"Lin, Brother Lin, you can't say that about Luming..."

Wang Zixing stammered as he defended Jiang Luming.

Seeing Wang Zixing's reaction, Lin Mu sat down speechlessly beside him.

"I can't be bothered with you guys."

After the commotion subsided, Wang Zixing suddenly remembered something and looked at Lin Mu curiously.

"By the way, Lin, it's been a month since you last contacted Goddess Jiang, hasn't it? Aren't you planning to pursue her anymore?"

Upon hearing this question, Lin Mu surprisingly fell silent.

He took out a cigarette and lit it, then pulled a small notebook from his pocket and slammed it on the table.

"Not pursue her? Am I supposed to stay single forever?!"

Lin Mu exhaled a breath of immortal energy and began to speak in detail.

"Star, my legs are about to break from running around for over a month."

Wang Zixing was stunned after hearing Lin Mu's words.

He looked down at the notebook with its curled edges, which was filled with sketches of Lin'an University Town, along with markings of various food delivery and express delivery collection points, as well as the rents of surrounding shops.

"The tens of thousands of yuan I earned this summer can only be considered my start-up capital."

Lin Mu took a deep drag on his cigarette and began to describe his grand business plans to Wang Zixing.

"There are over 100,000 college students in Lin'an University Town alone, and if you include the surrounding universities, the total number is over 400,000. Every aspect of life—clothing, food, housing, and transportation—is poised to become a future boom. Do you know how much money you can make if you seize the opportunity?"

Wang Zixing thought about it carefully, but in the end he honestly shook his head.

"What does this have to do with you chasing after Goddess Jiang? Aren't you... what's that saying again? You're throwing yourself into everything outside, while the kitchen is deserted at home?"

After hearing Wang Zixing's words, Lin Mu was in a daze.

"He devotes all his energy to work outside, leaving the kitchen cold at home..."

He raised his head and looked thoughtfully in the direction of Jiang Wan's house.

"You didn't leave me because of this, did you?"

"Brother Lin, what are you muttering about?"

Wang Zixing glanced at Lin Mu, who was muttering something under her breath, with a puzzled look on her face.

Lin Mu stubbed out his cigarette, a sly smile playing on his lips.

"I didn't realize you were such a philosopher, Xing. But don't worry, I'm confident I can win Jiang Wan over in six months at the latest!"

He turned on his computer and opened QQ.

"At first, my behavior was a bit too aggressive, which inevitably left her with some resentment. But after a month of giving her the cold shoulder, those resentments should have softened considerably."

Lin Mu opened his QQ space and quickly typed a few lines.

Only after we broke up did I realize how immature I was, how my repeated selfishness broke your heart.

Later, as I walked through every corner we had been together, I realized that no one could replace you.

I've set aside all my pride and stubbornness, hoping day and night for you to change your mind. If you're willing to turn back, I'll hold your hand tightly and never let go again.
