Volume 1 Chapter 115 Three Women One Play

  It's all over!

  Su Lin's heart sank as she knew that Zhu Jie must have also seen the scene of her, Qin Yanran and Teacher Lin together just now.

  "Kobayashi, it seems you're living a pretty good life at school, with beautiful teachers and the school flower as your classmate."

  Ye Xingzhu wasn't stupid either and immediately guessed Qin Yanyan and Lin Qingshuang's identities.

  "Little rabbit. Your sister has been taking care of you at the hospital for the past two days, and today she came especially to cheer you on for your college entrance exam. And yet you've gotten yourself into so much trouble..."

  Su Mu hadn't finished speaking when Qin Yanran and Lin Qingshuang rushed over together.

  "Sulin, today the teacher invited you to go eat..."

  "Su Lin, wait a minute, I'll make a call to my mom, she said she'd pick us up for dinner..."

  Qin Yanran and Lin Qingshuang were at an impasse, neither willing to give in, but when they turned to look at Su Lin, they found Ye Xingzhu staring at them with a hostile expression.

  In a snow-white skirt, with long hair flowing down, plus her slender figure and plump appearance, Ye Xingzhu's pale face was even more pitiful. When she saw Qin Yanran and Lin Qingshu arguing over who would take Su Lin out for lunch, Ye Xingzhu grasped Su Lin's arm with both hands and said in a spoiled tone: "Little Lin, today is the college entrance exam, so let Sister Zhu take you to eat something delicious."

  "Who is this again?"

  This question echoed in Qin Yanran and Lin Qingshuang's minds at the same time.

  "Uh... Teacher Lin, thank you so much for teaching our Su Lin over the past three years. Without you, he wouldn't have achieved such good grades. How can we let him treat you to a meal? If anyone should be treated, it's us treating you..."

  Su Mu recognized Lin Qingxue and knew she was Su Lin's teacher, but the current situation seemed complicated. Su Lin was also worried, fearing that something had happened between his son and Lin Qingxue. However, family scandals couldn't be revealed in public, so they spoke politely and indirectly under the watchful eyes of others.

  "Aunt Liu, it's nothing. Su Lin and I are not just student and teacher, but also like siblings, with only a few years' difference in age. That's why I call you Auntie. Today, Su Lin and Qin Yanran, the mayor's daughter from our class, finished their exams early, so I went over to say a few words to them. Then it was almost noon, so I thought of inviting them out for lunch."

  Facing the student's parents, Lin Qingxue has already been very experienced in the past three years. However, this time when facing Su Lin's parents, Lin Qingxue didn't know why, but she felt nervous again, afraid of leaving a bad impression on Su Lin's dad and mom.

  Qin Yanran then took out her mobile phone from her school bag, which had been turned off during the exam and was now restarted, and dialed her mother Fang Liping's phone number.

  Beep beep beep...

  After a brief wait for the sound, Fang Liping answered the phone.

  "Hey! Mom, Su Lin and I have finished our exams. Didn't you say you'd pick us up for lunch?"

  "Sorry about that! The investigation team from the provincial government is still busy on this side, and they've been occupied all morning. I'm afraid there won't be time to come over. Why don't you and Su Lin find a nearby restaurant to eat instead? Or I can have Secretary Liu go over?"

  The phone on the other end was busy with Fang Liping, who was extremely busy. This time, it can be said that Jian'an City's political arena is experiencing a major cleanup, involving more than one-tenth of officials above the department level, and at least 50 are facing dereliction of duty investigations. The municipal party secretary has fallen from power, and Mayor Fang Liping will take on both roles as party secretary and mayor, so busy that she doesn't even have time to eat.

  "Mom, how can you do this? Didn't we agree on it?"

  Qin Yanran felt a bit wronged, it had always been like this since she was young. Whenever her mother had official business, she would abandon Qin Yanran, whether they were going out to eat or to an amusement park. As soon as there was a phone call about something urgent, she would leave Qin Yanran alone and go first. Qin Yanran had always been very understanding of her mother's situation. But this time, Qin Yanran couldn't bear it anymore. Couldn't her mother just accommodate her for once?

  Qin Yanran felt wronged and had tears welling up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to cry out loud. She could only lower her head, not letting Su Lin see.

  "What's wrong? Yanran?"

  Su Lin sensitively discovered Qin Yanran's abnormality and guessed eight or nine out of ten, "Is it that Aunt Ping doesn't have time? That's right, she is the mayor of Jian'an City, where does she have so much idle work?"

  "But mom has already agreed with me."

  Turning her head around, Qin Yanran strongly held back her tears, with a wronged expression, which made Su Lin feel heartache.

  "Since Yanyan's mom doesn't have time to come over, Su Lin, then let the teacher treat you guys instead! And don't be sad, Yanyan, there will be other opportunities..."

  Lin Qingxue said after Qin Yanran finished her phone call.

  "Kobayashi, your sister has come all the way to cheer you on for the college entrance exams. You have to go out to eat with her..."

  Ye Xingzhu was not to be outdone, and he regarded Lin Qingxue, a woman who was about the same age as him, as a formidable opponent.

  Two people started arguing, Su Lin's head was already big, and this made it even more chaotic. Moreover, the key point is that his parents were still here, Su Lin looked at his father Su Guorong, who was staring at him with a furious face, and knew that his old man had already gotten angry.

  "Stop arguing! Stop arguing... Dad and Mom, how about this? Let's invite Sister Zhu, Yanran, and Teacher Lin to go with us to the restaurant next door for a meal. After all, there are six of us now, we can make up a table. Today is the college entrance examination, let's have a good meal."

  Su Lin pulled on his mother's sleeve and said with a bitter face, meaning to ask his mother to help him out of the situation.

  "Alright! Today is the college entrance exam, you're the best. Mom will listen to you, after the exam is over, if you don't give me an explanation, I'll skin you alive."

  Su Lin knew that when it came to family matters, his mother Liu Ai Zhen was the one who had a big say. With his mother's words, his father Su Guo Rong nodded in agreement and invited Ye Xing Zhu, Qin Yan Ran, and Lin Qing Xue: "Then let's have Teacher Lin, Xing Zhu, and Yan Ran, Lin's classmate, join us for dinner! This way, we won't have to argue back and forth, everyone can be harmonious and eat together, and cheer on the two kids for their college entrance exams!"

  "Okay, I'll listen to uncle."

  Su's father had spoken, Ye Xingzhu was the first to speak in favor, and Lin Qingxue and Qin Yanran naturally did not object.

  Three sharp-tongued women finally calmed down, and Su Lin also breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, the saying was fulfilled: three women are enough to make a play, just thinking about it gives one a headache.

  However, Su Lin seemed to be a bit too early in his joy. The six of them stopped at a stir-fry restaurant next to the school. Since the examinees had not finished their exams yet, there were not many customers inside the restaurant.

  Considering that Su Lin and Qin Yanran still had exams in the afternoon, they kept things simple and just ordered some home-style dishes. Everyone sat down to wait for their food to arrive.

  Qin Yanran and Ye Xingzhu rushed to sit on either side of Su Lin, while Lin Qingsnow was pulled over by Su's mother.

  "Teacher Lin! Our little Lin has not caused you less worry over the past three years. After Lin's college entrance exam, we will definitely invite you to a thank-you dinner. Today's meal is just an opening act, haha..."

  The dishes arrived, and Su Mu happily gave Lin Qingxue a piece of fish-flavored eggplant. However, Lin Qingxue was staring at the opposite side with an unfriendly gaze, where Su Lin's bowl was almost full.

  "Come on, Xiao Lin, we have an exam this afternoon, you need to use your brain. This is a bowl of pig brain soup that I just ordered especially for you. Look at the pig brain, it's so fresh and tender, eat more..."

  "Sulin, come, this chicken leg is for you, and this one, that one... they're all delicious..."

  Ye Xingzhu ladled a bowl of steaming hot pork brain soup and placed it in front of Su Lin. Meanwhile, Qin Yanran continuously added various dishes to Su Lin's bowl, including braised pork belly, fish-flavored shredded meat, and a chicken leg from a hand-pulled chicken...

  Looking at the full table of food in front of him, and Lin Qingxue's gaze that could kill people across from his mother, Su Lin's scalp felt a bit numb. He awkwardly said: "Alright! Alright! Yanran, Zhu sister, I'll serve myself what I want to eat, you all hurry up and eat too! You've served me so much, I don't know where to start, I don't even know where to put my chopsticks..."

  "No way! You have to finish it all!"

  Ye Xingzhu and Qin Yanran shouted in unison, Su Lin had no choice but to pick up his chopsticks and devour all the dishes in his bowl.

  This meal, Su Lin ate very nervously, under the gaze of three women, he had to be careful with every move, and he didn't dare to speak casually, fearing that if he accidentally said something wrong, it would trigger another round of conflict.

  Until this meal was over, Su Lin had sweated all over his body. Fortunately, his parents did not ask him any questions at this time, otherwise, Su Lin would not know how to answer in front of the three women.

  It was a struggle, but I finally finished this meal. Su's parents told Su Lin to focus on the exam and then hurry back home to take care of things at home. Ye Xingzhu is also worried about her mother in the hospital, the doctor said she will recover quickly and can be discharged from the hospital in the afternoon to rest at home, so she still needs to go to the hospital to handle the discharge procedures.

  The first subject of the Chinese language exam is over, and all the candidates have been taken away by their parents to have lunch. Some people are happy, some are sad, this is just a small reflection of life in the college entrance examination. Peng Shend reached the peak of his anger at this time, and there were several young masters who were also speechless with rage beside him. The language test paper that morning was not even one question correct.

  When Peng Shendu was shouting on the phone to his father, wanting him to find a way to get rid of the remaining three exam papers, he heard that his father had been taken away by the investigation bureau. He immediately collapsed in his seat. The other few spoiled sons were about the same, their fathers were all involved in corruption and were taken away by the provincial investigation team.

  They walked to the entrance of No. 1 Middle School, and only Su Lin, Qin Yanran, and Lin Qingxue were left. Just now at dinner, Lin Qingxue was so angry that her face was puffed up, because Su's father and mother were present, she had to maintain a basic posture as a teacher, so she held back and didn't say anything to Su Lin.

  Now that Su's father and mother have left, not only Lin Qingxue but also Qin Yanran opened her mouth to ask Su Lin: "Who was the girl just now?"
