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

The next afternoon, with a loud "Dismissed" command on the parade ground, the half-month-long freshmen military training finally came to an end.

"My God, I'm finally free!"

On her way back to the dormitory, Fang Leyao rubbed her sore shoulders, let out a long sigh of relief, and then rubbed her hands together with shining eyes.

"Sisters, is everything ready for tonight's 'apology feast'? I specifically asked my senior yesterday, and 'Drunken Jiangnan' private kitchen outside of school is the most expensive. We absolutely have to go there tonight to get revenge on Wan'er and eat that Lin Mu out of house and home!"

"Alright! Let's eat him out of house and home!"

Jiang Luming also swung his fist.

Although Su Mo didn't speak, he pursed his lips and nodded.

Listening to her roommates' boastful words, Jiang Wan walked in the middle, frowning with some hesitation.

For the past two weeks, in order not to cause trouble for Lin Mu, she has endured ignoring him and even forcibly ignored his various harassments on QQ.

If he continues his unrestrained speech at tonight's dinner, should I continue to pretend to be indifferent, or...?

Just as Jiang Wan was looking down, her mind filled with mental preparation, Fang Leyao, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped and tugged at her sleeve.

"Wan'er, look at that person... isn't that Lin Mu?"

Upon hearing this name, Jiang Wan looked up.

Lin Mu stood by the tree-lined path outside the dormitory building, hands in his pockets, smiling at them.

Standing next to Lin Mu was a middle-aged woman carrying large and small bags.

When Jiang Wan saw the middle-aged woman clearly, she was stunned for a moment.

"Xiao Wan!"

Before Jiang Wan could react, Zhou Yiyun greeted her with a joyful expression.

"Ah... Auntie?!"

Jiang Wan quickly went to meet her, her voice softening.

"Oh dear, let Auntie see, look how sunburnt our little Wan is."

Zhou Yiyun grabbed Jiang Wan's hand and looked her up and down with such affection that anyone who didn't know better would think her own mother had come.

"Auntie, I'm fine. Why did you come all this way in this sweltering heat?"

Jiang Wan blushed and asked in a low voice.

"Auntie misses you! And, did Lin Mu make you angry again?"

As Zhou Yiyun spoke, she glared at Lin Mu, then patted Jiang Wan's hand.

"Auntie came today for two reasons: first, to see you and bring you some imported fruits and snacks; second, to stand up for you! If this brat dares to bully you, just tell Auntie, and I'll give him a good thrashing!"

Seeing Zhou Yiyun's protective attitude, Fang Leyao, Su Mo, and Jiang Luming behind her exchanged glances, their eyes wide open.

"Wan'er, who is this auntie...?"

Fang Leyao swallowed hard and asked in a low voice.

"Oh, Le Yao, Mo Mo, Cai Wei, let me introduce you."

Jiang Wan then realized what was happening and pulled Zhou Yiyun to introduce her to everyone.

"This is... Lin Mu's mother, Aunt Xiaoqian."

"Hello, Auntie!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately bowed obediently.

"Hey! Hello everyone, you must be Xiaowan's roommates? You're all so pretty!"

Zhou Yiyun smiled and stuffed the bags she was carrying into Fang Leyao and the others' hands.

"Thank you all for taking care of Xiaowan these past two weeks. Please take these snacks and fruits back to your dorm to eat."

"Thank you, Auntie!"

"Alright, you guys go upstairs and take a shower and change your clothes. Auntie needs to rush back to cook, so I won't delay your gathering any longer."

Having achieved her goal, Zhou Yiyun walked up to Lin Mu before leaving and kicked him without any hesitation.

"If you dare let Xiaowan suffer any injustice, don't come home tonight!"

"Okay, Mom! Take care!"

Lin Mu waved with a grin.

Watching Zhou Yiyun leave, Lin Mu turned to look at Jiang Wan, raising an eyebrow smugly.

"How about it, Wanzai? Give my mom some face, okay?"

"snort!"

Jiang Wan stomped her foot in anger.

"Alright, hurry up and go upstairs to change your clothes. I'll wait for you downstairs. Tonight, I'll treat you to a good meal at 'Drunken Jiangnan'."

……

Half an hour later, the four beautiful women, looking completely transformed, followed Lin Mu out of the campus of Linda University.

The group arrived at the "Zui Jiangnan" private restaurant outside the school.

Thanks to Zhou Yiyun's "assistance" earlier, Fang Leyao and the others' hostility has noticeably lessened.

In addition, Lin Mu was a master at creating a lively atmosphere, and it wasn't long before the atmosphere in the private room became warm and lively.

"Senior Lin, Auntie said today that we shouldn't be shy, we're really going to rip you off this meal!"

Fang Leyao flipped through the menu, half-jokingly probing.

"Rake as much as you want! I brought plenty of money today."

Lin Mu waved his hand generously.

Jiang Wan sat to the side, sipping her tea while cautiously observing Lin Mu.

Something's definitely fishy going on here. This scoundrel not only offered to treat us to a meal today, but he's also being so easy to talk to. He's definitely up to no good!

After three rounds of drinks and five rounds of dishes, the drinks were served.

The atmosphere in the private room completely relaxed.

Su Mo and Fang Leyao were chatting about the fun things that happened during military training, and Jiang Luming was listening with great interest.

Just then, Lin Mu put down his chopsticks and picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth.

He leaned back in his chair, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Wan before finally settling on Jiang Luming, who was eating dessert with his head down.

"By the way, fellow female students."

Lin Mu suddenly spoke, and the private room instantly fell silent.

"Besides apologizing to Wanza, there's another reason for this meal today."

Lin Mu smiled meaningfully, took out his phone from his pocket, and twirled it twice in his hand.

"I have a good brother named Wang Zixing, who is also a freshman at our Linda University this year."

Lin Mu looked at Jiang Luming and said, word by word, "This guy has recently fallen in love online. He's been spending all his time in internet cafes showering her with attention and care."

Upon hearing the words "online dating," Jiang Luming's hand holding the spoon suddenly paused, and a hint of panic flashed in his big eyes.

Jiang Wan's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition instantly welled up in her mind.

"Coincidentally..."

Lin Mu leaned forward slightly, his smile widening as his deep eyes locked onto Jiang Luming.

"My buddy's online girlfriend has the exact same name as one of the female students in our dorm."

Lin Mu paused, and under the increasingly terrified gazes of Jiang Wan and Jiang Luming, lightly uttered a sentence:

"Junior Jiang Luming, do you know a senior with the online name 'Calm and Collected'?"

Upon hearing this, the entire private room fell into a deathly silence.

Fang Leyao and Su Mo turned their heads with blank expressions.

Jiang Luming, with a "clang," dropped the porcelain spoon from his hand onto the plate.
