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

Downstairs in the old residential building, Lin Xingguo and Guo Anxiu were eagerly waiting at the entrance of the building.

As soon as Lin Mu got out of the car, he opened his arms and rushed towards Lin Xingguo and Guo Anxiu.

"Auntie, Uncle!"

"Oh my, Xiao Mu, let Auntie take a look! Hmm? What about your hair? It looks good after the haircut, it makes you look more energetic!"

Guo Anxiu was a genuinely virtuous woman, and she was genuinely happy to see her nephew. Lin Xingguo, standing to the side, also had a broad smile on his face.

"hehe."

After giving him a hug, Lin Mu immediately and sensibly stepped aside, bowed slightly, and made a "please" gesture, guiding Lin Xingguo and Guo Anxiu to look at Jiang Lin'an and Song Muwan, who had just gotten out of the car.

"Brother Lin, sister-in-law."

Jiang Lin'an smiled gently, stepped forward, and offered his hand.

"Director Jiang, please come in. We've come all this way, thank you so much!"

Lin Xingguo wiped his hands on his trouser leg and then reached out to grasp Jiang Lin'an's hands.

Seeing this, Jiang Lin'an silently stretched out his other hand and placed it on the back of Lin Xingguo's hand.

"Brother Lin, just call me Lao Jiang or Brother. Besides, it's all for the children, so there's no trouble at all."

Song Muwan also affectionately took Guo Anxiu's arm.

"Sister-in-law, we're family, no need for formalities. We treat Xiaoqian like our own daughter. You can call me Lao Song or my sister, it's all fine."

"That's right, that's right, we're all family, why be so formal?"

Lin Mu chimed in with a grin.

Lin Qian slowly got out of the car and sighed resignedly as she looked at the happy "family" in front of her.

"This is fate..."

Led by Lin Xingguo and Guo Anxiu, the group went upstairs.

Upon entering the not-so-spacious living room, the adults took their seats and began exchanging pleasantries.

Lin Mu wasn't idle either. He stopped Guo Anxiu, who was about to pour tea, and took out tea leaves himself. He served tea and water, washed fruit, cut watermelon... busy as a spinning top.

"Aunt and Uncle, you have no idea how much Uncle Jiang and Aunt Song treat Xiaoqian, just like their own daughter. I've been able to make a little money in my business thanks to Uncle Jiang's advice."

"Auntie, isn't this watermelon sweet? Aunt Song went out of her way to buy it at Dahua Yuan Fruit Supermarket! She said their watermelons are the sweetest, you'll definitely like them!"

Seeing Lin Mu busy with all sorts of things, Song Muwan grew to like him even more.

She held Guo Anxiu's hand and kept praising her.

"Sister-in-law, your family has such good genes. Xiao Mu is sensible and hardworking. What's rare is that even after making money in business, he doesn't forget to be ambitious. Xiao Qian is also lively, cute, and very smart. I love both of these children very much."

Jiang Lin'an held his teacup, glanced at the grinning Lin Mu, and his lips twitched slightly.

After exchanging pleasantries, the conversation finally got on track.

Jiang Lin'an put down his teacup, his expression turning serious.

"Brother Lin, sister-in-law, Xiaoqian is very smart. It would be a waste of her talent to go to the University of Technology and Business. In addition, she does want to repeat a year of high school. So the main reason for this trip is to talk to you about Xiaoqian repeating a year of high school."

Jiang Lin'an looked at Lin Qian, who was drawing circles with her head down in the corner.

"Here's what I'm thinking: I'll have Xiaoqian live at my house for the next year. I'll hire a top teacher from Beijing to tutor her one-on-one. Her daily routine will strictly follow the senior year schedule, and she'll be managed like a military unit. I guarantee that Xiaoqian will get into a top 985 university."

After Jiang Lin'an finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xingguo and Guo Xiu'an.

"Brother Lin, sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Anxiu and Lin Xingguo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with gratitude.

"Director Jiang, this...this is causing you so much trouble!"

Lin Xingguo could not hide his excitement and quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Lin'an.

In his view, having such an important figure personally oversee his daughter's studies and guarantee her admission to a prestigious school was an incredibly auspicious event, akin to his ancestors' graves emitting auspicious smoke.

Lin Qian, who was drawing circles, was originally prepared to pretend to faint, but when she heard that she didn't have to go to school, she immediately raised her head.

"Not going to school... My godfather's family seems strict, but my godmother cooks delicious food! My godfather and godmother spoil me! And maybe I can even sleep with Sister Wan'er on weekends..."

Lin Qian jumped up on the spot.

"Godfather, Godmother! I do!"

As soon as Jiang Lin'an took the cigarette, Lin Qian jumped up and down twice.

"I will definitely study hard and live up to your expectations!"

Seeing how sensible her daughter was, Guo Anxiu wiped the corner of her eye with relief.

"The child has grown up."

Song Muwan smiled and patted Guo Anxiu's hand to comfort her.

Seeing this happy moment, Lin Mu knew it was time for him to make his move.

Lin Mu cleared his throat and walked to the center of the living room.

"Uncle Jiang, Aunt Song, Aunt, Uncle, since Lin Qian has made up her mind, I, as her older brother, can't fall behind."

Lin Mu patted his chest, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.

"If Lin Qian gets into Lin'an University, I'll buy her the latest mobile phone and computer, and I'll also cover all her allowance for the four years of university!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Guo Anxiu quickly waved her hand.

"How can that be?! You earn money with great difficulty, you should save it to buy your own house."

"Xiao Mu, don't worry about Xiao Qian's reward. Her godfather and I can afford it. You should use your money for your own development."

Song Muwan was also moved by Lin Mu's words and repeatedly tried to dissuade him.

"No! This is my heartfelt wish! I must contribute! My development doesn't need this much!"

Seeing Lin Mu's resolute attitude, the parents could no longer persuade her. They could only praise Lin Mu for being sensible and tell Lin Qian to learn from Lin Mu's sense of responsibility.

Only Jiang Lin'an glanced at Lin Mu silently.

"He only talks about the rewards after the results, completely shirking the most difficult tutoring and discipline tasks, and even gets a reputation as a good older brother... This kid certainly knows how to maximize his benefits."

But since things had come to this point, Jiang Lin'an could only nod and go along with it.

"Alright, since you're so kind, then so be it."

And there was Lin Qian, whose eyes were full of disdain.

"Lin Mu, you bastard! You traded the reward you already promised me for praise?! Could you be any more shameless?!"

After agreeing on the details of repeating the year, the group stayed for lunch at the enthusiastic invitation of Guo Xiuan and Lin Guoxing.

After lunch, the four of them said goodbye to Guo Xiuan and Lin Guoxing and set off on their way home.

On the way, Lin Qian came back to life. She saw through Lin Mu's intention to act well in front of Song Muwan, so she would poke Lin Mu with her finger from time to time, and bump him with her shoulder when Song Muwan was not paying attention.

"A dog relying on its master's power!"

Lin Mu curled his lip in disdain, then moved to the side.

"Let you be arrogant for a while!"

After a two-hour drive, the group finally returned to Lin'an.

After dropping Lin Mu off at home, Jiang Lin'an took Song Muwan and Lin Qian back to Greentown Peach Blossom Spring.

Lin Qian happily went upstairs, leaving only Jiang Lin'an and Song Muwan flipping through the phone book in the living room.

Jiang Lin'an's eyes were deep as he silently took a sip of tea, then casually mentioned something.

What do you think of Lin Mu?
