Villain: Starting by Suppressing the Protagonist and Stealing the Campus Belle - Part 9

Lin Xiaowan didn't know that Wang Xiaoqian now wanted to gather more information about Su Lin.

She thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "Su Lin, I don't know how to describe him. He's changed a lot. I feel like my previous impression of him was completely wrong."

"Oh? What kind of person did you think he was before?"

"To sum it up, he treated everyone equally on the surface, but had strict hierarchies below. He never gave a second glance to students from ordinary families, never looked people in the eye, and spoke as if he was the only one in the world. Except for a few classmates, he didn't care about anyone else. He was somewhat blindly arrogant."

"And now?"

"I can't say for sure now."

"Tell me more, Mom can help you analyze it."

Lin Xiaowan, without any reservations, started talking about what Su Lin had told her today.

"..."

"Mom, do you think Su Lin is very pitiful? He clearly gave so much, but no one knows. Many people laughed at him today, but he was unfazed. You don't know how harsh those people were. I don't know how Su Lin managed for the past two years."

Wang Xiaoqian gave Lin Xiaowan a look. "Isn't it enough that you're speaking up for him now?"

"What's the use of just me speaking up for him?"

"Just you is enough. He doesn't care about what others think at all, only what you think." Wang Xiaoqian didn't say this out loud, only keeping it in her heart.

Wang Xiaoqian suddenly felt that protecting Lin Xiaowan too well all these years wasn't a good thing.

As someone who had been through it, she knew instantly that this was Su Lin's signal to start pursuing Lin Xiaowan.

First, the donation to change her impression, then telling stories to evoke Lin Xiaowan's sympathy, plus that promise binding the two of them...

Hiss~!

This kid is playing a grand strategy.

Looking at her daughter's sympathetic expression, Wang Xiaoqian wished she could tell her Su Lin's true nature completely.

But she knew that doing so would only mess things up.

Although Wang Xiaoqian felt she might be overthinking Su Lin, based on what Su Lin had done today, this kid definitely couldn't be treated as an ordinary high school student.

Looking at her naive daughter, Wang Xiaoqian sighed in her heart, "Fortunately, Su Lin's feelings for Nannan are genuine. Otherwise, this girl wouldn't even know if she was being sold."

The scene of her previously having dinner with Su Lin and Su Zhenguo reappeared in her mind. She could be sure that Su Lin's feelings for Lin Xiaowan were real.

"Mom, do you think there's anything I can do to help Su Lin?"

Wang Xiaoqian patted Lin Xiaowan's head. "Help? How can you help? If you tell the truth, unless you don't want Xia Shiyu to have a good time, the rumors alone can drown all three of you."

"Taking a different approach, I don't think Su Lin will necessarily appreciate it."

"Ah~!"

"Xiaowan, don't get involved in this. The college entrance examination is coming up soon, and I think Su Lin wouldn't want to attract too much attention."

"Then... okay."

"Alright, you go do your homework. Mom won't bother you."

"Okay..."

After watching Wang Xiaoqian leave, Lin Xiaowan quickly got up and closed the door, even locking it.

Hearing the sound of the door being locked, Wang Xiaoqian was stunned, then her face filled with worry.

Su Lin's schemes were too deep, one step after another. Her daughter was no match for him at all.

She had to think of a solution, otherwise, her girl would fall for him sooner or later.

"Su Lin, I'm sorry."

"?"

"What's wrong, Xiaowan?"

"Teacher Wang called home just now, saying she wanted to thank our family for donating so much money, and then my mom came to find me. I told my mom about you donating the money."

After sending the message, Lin Xiaowan covered her eyes, afraid to look at the screen.

After all, she had promised Su Lin, but as soon as she got home, she told her parents.

"Heh! It's fine that you told them. It's such a big thing; it wouldn't be appropriate not to say anything."

"Ah... but if that's the case, Teacher Wang might find out too."

"Don't worry, even if Teacher Wang finds out, she'll definitely keep it a secret. But I don't think Teacher Wang is likely to find out. It's more likely that your parents just want to understand the truth of the matter. Besides, I never intended to hide it from Uncle and Aunt. If they don't understand such a big thing clearly, they definitely won't be able to sleep."

At this moment, in the Jiangning Huating Villa District, Su Lin's lips were curved into a smile.

He had already considered all possible situations before asking Lin Xiaowan to donate.

As for Lin Xiaowan's parents, he had thought of them from the very first moment.

If you want people to respect you, you need to let them acknowledge your abilities.

Although Su Lin's family background was not bad, it was still quite a bit worse compared to Lin Xiaowan's. What he needed to do now was to make himself familiar, and then display his abilities to Lin Guoqiang as much as possible.

Once he showed them enough, Lin Guoqiang would realize that Su Lin was indeed quite a good person.

The resistance to being with Lin Xiaowan will be much smaller then.

In the original work, Su Lin didn't completely win over Lin Xiaowan for over a thousand chapters. A significant reason for this was the resistance from the Lin family.

Lin Guoqiang, in particular, is a typical doting father. Gaining his approval is incredibly difficult.

However, Su Lin doesn't care about these things. In the original work, the main reason Ye Feng messed up was the author's fault.

Over a thousand chapters, he took in countless confidantes. Even if a proud daughter like Lin Xiaowan had feelings, her family wouldn't be happy.

So, strictly speaking, it was poorly written.

But Su Lin won't make such a mistake. He's a villain, and villains don't have so many taboos.

Strike when the iron is hot.

Never hesitate when you can take them.

He wouldn't do something like holding someone all night without doing anything.

As Su Lin predicted, they really came to borrow money.

That evening, Wang Xiaoqian told Lin Guoqiang everything.

Lin Guoqiang frowned, pondered for a long time, and then sighed, "Su Zhenguo is really lucky."

"This Su Lin is already so outstanding in his third year of high school. After some experience in college, if he enters politics, he'll definitely do very well."

Wang Xiaoqian pinched Lin Guoqiang's waist. "What are you thinking about? I'm talking about our daughter right now."

Lin Guoqiang waved his hand. "Wife, I think your idea is overthinking it. If that Su Lin really had a three-year plan, he'd be a spirit."

"I think this is a typical case of seizing the opportunity. If he had such exaggerated intentions, our little girl would have been tricked long ago."

Wang Xiaoqian thought about it carefully and felt that Lin Guoqiang had a point, but she still frowned. "Whose side are you on? It's obvious someone has designs on your daughter, and you're still speaking up for them."

"Hmph, to have designs on my daughter, this Su Lin isn't qualified yet. The college entrance examination is coming soon. Once she gets into college and her horizons broaden, she naturally won't be fixated on this small patch of land." Lin Guoqiang said confidently.

"Aren't you worried that something might happen between them in these three months? I think our daughter seems to have a bit of interest."

"What, you mean they're already together?"

"No, I didn't say that. I'm just worried."

"Then... should we let our daughter study abroad?"

"Study abroad? If you think of that, Su Lin will follow her abroad. Then it'll be truly far away, and he can do whatever he wants."

"This... I need to think of a way. I can't let our little girl be deceived."

Seeing Lin Guoqiang get serious, Wang Xiaoqian smiled.

She knew how brilliant Lin Guoqiang's mind was. If he calculated against Su Lin, he could completely outmaneuver him.

The night passed without incident. Su Lin got out of bed.

"Sigh, being in the third year of high school is miserable. We have classes on Saturdays too."

It had become the norm for all third-year high school students in Zhongjiang City to attend classes on Saturdays.

To boost their college admission rates, every school was doing everything they could.

"On the Xunyang River at night, I send off guests, with maple leaves and reeds in the autumn chill. The host dismounts, the guest is on the boat, raising wine to drink without music. Drunk, unable to enjoy the parting, at the farewell, vastness drowns the moon. Suddenly hearing the sound of a pipa on the water, the host forgets to return, the guest does not depart..."

Hearing the loud recitation of "Song of the Pipa" in the classroom, Su Lin hummed along.

He had heard an adapted version in his previous life and sang it quite well.

Entering the classroom, Su Lin was surprised to find that all the students were looking at him with strange expressions.

"Why is everyone looking at me?"

Su Lin muttered to himself and then walked to his seat.

As soon as he sat down, he saw two English notebooks.

He picked them up and immediately understood why his classmates were looking at him.
