Lin Mo was a little confused.

"Hello, friend."

You can't refuse to be friends with your teacher, can you?

"My last relationship just ended, and it was a complete failure."

Tian Jingxiang sighed and continued, "So, I don't want to think about anything else."

Teacher, you must have misunderstood. I was acting entirely out of a sense of duty and never expected anything in return.

Seeing Lin Mo's hesitant expression, Tian Jingxiang assumed that Lin Mo was sad because he had been rejected.

"You have more important things to do right now. You have exams coming up soon. Have you encountered any problems with your studies?"

"I asked with concern," Tian Jingxiang asked.

She felt that Lin Mo was such an outstanding boy, and if he could devote himself entirely to his studies, he would definitely become a well-behaved and academically excellent child with a bright future.

Afterwards, Ms. Xiaotian chatted with Lin Mo about Lin Mo's studies, but somehow the topic turned to the big lawyer.

"I met him at a book club, and we both love Mo Yan's books."

"So she's a top lawyer now? Ms. Xiaotian is so innocent, she's only had one relationship at 25..." Lin Mo exclaimed.

“We’ve been dating for three years, and I’ve already introduced him to my parents. We’ve actually agreed to get married next year.”

Tian Jingxiang's eyes dimmed slightly. "But a few days ago, he told me that he seems to have fallen for someone else, and that person is his female colleague."

"So, we broke up amicably."

Tian Jingxiang raised her head and looked into Lin Mo's clear and bright eyes.

She didn't know how her previously dead fish eyes suddenly became so clear, but in any case, the more she looked at them, the more pleasing they became.

From Ms. Xiaotian's description, it's clear that she still really likes the lawyer, which is why she's been so down lately.

Moreover, the breakup was very amicable, with both parties doing well. Ms. Xiaotian didn't even block him and still kept his contact information.

On the coffee table in Ms. Xiaotian's home, there is a group photo of her family and the lawyer.

If this hadn't happened, the lawyer would definitely have married into the family—no, I mean, married Ms. Xiao Tian.

Seeing that Lin Mo was thinking about something, Tian Jingxiang continued,

"You should focus on your studies. You... have never been in a relationship, have you?"

Lin Mo shook his head.

As expected, because she had no experience in love, she mistook her admiration for her teacher for romantic feelings. Ms. Oda understood the letter in this way.

"Um...Ms. Oda, I was wondering if you might have misunderstood the great lawyer?"

Hearing Tian Jingxiang mention the lawyer, I felt that the lawyer was a very upright person, even a bit straight. In the past, the lawyer only had eyes for Teacher Tian and would never look at any other woman.

Why would you inexplicably fall for other women?

Lin Mo couldn't quite understand this.

Lin Mo, who had originally intended to persuade Ms. Xiao Tian to forget about the lawyer as soon as possible, suddenly changed his mind.

As the saying goes, it's better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage.

Lin Mo felt that since Teacher Xiaotian and the lawyer had already reached the point of discussing marriage, perhaps their relationship could still be salvaged.

Tian Jingxiang shook her head. "He said it himself, so what misunderstanding could there be?"

"Has he texted or called you recently?"

Lin Mo noticed Ms. Xiao Tian's disappointment.

Tian Jingxiang nodded. "I did receive a WeChat message, but I didn't reply."

Would you mind if I took a look?

Lin Mo asked tentatively, not really hoping for anything, but Teacher Xiao Tian generously handed him the phone.

Tian Jingxiang has been saved by Lin Mo twice already, and she thinks Lin Mo is a very reliable young man.

In addition, I just said that we can be friends in private.

I can't let Lin Mo find out that I still only see him as a child.

While Lin Mo was looking at his phone, Tian Jingxiang went into her room, opened a drawer, took out some pills prescribed by her psychologist, and took two.

She exhaled a breath of stale air, patted her chest, and still felt very nervous recalling the scene in the elevator.

This time, we really owe it all to Lin Mo.

Chapter 114 A Redundant Move

Back in the living room, Ms. Oda sat on the sofa, holding a silver cross about the size of a thumb to her chest with both hands and began to pray.

Lin Mo silently read the WeChat message sent by the senior lawyer.

Because it was an amicable breakup, Ms. Xiaotian didn't delete the lawyer's contact; she simply chose not to reply to his messages.

Most of the lawyer's messages were normal expressions of concern and care, which are common even among friends.

However, a few pieces of information caught Lin Mo's attention.

[Shizuka, a new intern just joined the law firm. Everyone says she's very pretty, but I think you're prettier. Nobody's as cute as my sweetie.]

[Shizuka, you're still the one I'm thinking of, but for some reason, I can't resist her allure.]

[Shizuka, I feel like I can't live without her anymore. We've only known each other for five days, and it all feels unbelievable. I must be sick. I feel so sorry for you, but at the same time, I doubt my own feelings. These past few days have felt like a dream.]

[Shizuka, being with her, I feel like I've found my true self.]

In just 5 days, he found his true self? And now he can't live without her?

These messages, which Tian Jingxiang saw as just scumbag quotes, took on a different meaning in Lin Mo's eyes.

The lawyer must have encountered a female demon.

Such a thought popped into Lin Mo's mind, and he decided to investigate it thoroughly, otherwise what if Teacher Xiaotian kept misunderstanding him?

Moreover, Lin Mo felt very sorry for Ms. Xiaotian, who was becoming increasingly haggard, after all, Ms. Xiaotian was a very good person.

Lin Mo decided to find Xia Luoluo, the queen of gossip, to investigate the matter together.

Xiaoju was originally the first choice, but for some reason, Xiaoju and Ye Zimo have been avoiding me lately, as if they are plotting something.

Therefore, Lin Mo also needs to have his own backup candidates.

After finishing his coffee, Lin Mo said goodbye to Teacher Xiao Tian.

He really just had a cup of coffee and left; he was very innocent.

The next day.

Lin Mo arrived at school early in the morning.

In order to get closer to Ye Zimo, Xia Luoluo bribed Lao Wei with her coquettish charm and got a seat in front of Ye Zimo, which is also in front of Lin Mo.

Lin Mo communicated with her without any problems.

"Xia Luoluo, I want to know where the top lawyer works and who he cheated on with."

"Huh? When did you become so gossipy?"

Xia Luoluo raised her eyebrows slightly.

"You gossip...who can compare to you?" Lin Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Do you know that?"

"I know, but why should I tell you?"

Xia Luolu blinked her big, bright eyes and looked at Lin Mo curiously.

At this time, Ye Zimo had not yet arrived at school, so Xia Luoluo became less approachable.

"I suspect there's more to the story behind the lawyer's and Ms. Xiaotian's breakup. You wouldn't want Ms. Xiaotian to be heartbroken, would you?"

Lin Mo appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him.

Xia Luoluo stroked her chin: "Why would you think that?"

"A man's intuition."

You can't say directly that you suspect the lawyer has encountered a fairy.

"Huh? Then why do you want me to investigate for you?"

Xia Luoluo crossed her arms in front of her chest, indicating that she needed to give a reason to convince her, otherwise she wouldn't help.

Lin Mo broke out in a sweat. Sure enough, without the Bloodsucker, Xia Luoluo had become quite cunning.

"Because you are smart and kind, generous and lovely."

Lin Mo praised him against his will.

Xia Luoluo nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Indeed, besides Ye Zimo, I was the smartest, cutest, and most popular person in the class.

233333, don't laugh out loud.

Otherwise, it would damage the positive image I had in Lin Mo's mind.

Why choose me when so many others didn't? It must be because they have a crush on me, right?

Lin Mo kept searching for cases, hoping to find allusions from those who came before him.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find it.

In the end, Lin Mo left alone to protect herself from the rumors and gossip.

She then embarked on a journey to find her brother, Lin Mo.

Sorry, Xia Luoluo got a little mesmerized.

If Lin Mo knew that Xia Luoluo had already imagined such a dramatic scene, he would definitely regret saying that insincere compliment.

"Alright, I'll agree to help you with the investigation. We can't just watch Ms. Xiaotian be sad and upset all the time. I heard that Ms. Xiaotian took the day off today to see a psychologist. She must have been too traumatized and needs to see a psychologist."

Xia Luolu shook her head with a sigh.
