Accomplices

The middle-aged woman looked at the several burly security guards, feeling a bit intimidated, but her arrogant demeanor didn't diminish in the slightest:

"What are you doing! What are you people trying to do!?"

Vice Dean Yang gave a look, and the lead security guard smiled gently:

"Are you going to walk out yourself, or shall we escort you?"

This was outrageous! To think such dark, evil forces still existed in modern society!

The woman felt a flicker of panic; while she had no other skills, she did have the knack for sizing people up.

If she continued to make a scene here, she would truly be carried off by this group.

"I'm telling you! This is a society ruled by law!"

The woman said this as if to bolster her own courage, then pulled out her phone:

"I can go with you! But I'm calling the police first!"

"Do as you please."

The security guards exchanged a smile and led the trembling woman away.

The light of righteousness shone upon the earth~

Watching the woman's retreating figure, Vice Dean Yang sneered:

"What kind of people does the hospital hire these days."

Having said that, she looked at Su Muzhi with a smile:

"Muzhi, Auntie will give you an explanation, don't take it to heart."

Su Muzhi smiled lightly:

"Not at all, I'm the one who caused Aunt Yang trouble."

Vice Dean Yang laughed heartily and looked at Jiang Linyuan, wanting to say something more, but was interrupted by Su Muzhi:

"Aunt Yang, my classmate and I have some things to attend to, so we'll be heading off now. We won't disturb you any further."

Vice Dean Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied:

"Go on, go on. It's more relaxing for you young people to be together, I won't get in your way."

With that, Su Muzhi grabbed Jiang Linyuan and ran off.

Her fair, small hand was incredibly soft, feeling like warm sunshine spilling into his palm.

So, could a "bottom-tier" girl actually be this beautiful?

Jiang Linyuan savored the sensation.

Hmm, the texture was quite nice; it was currently tied with Xiao Yilin's jelly-like hands.

"Aren't you going to ask where I'm taking you?"

Seeing Jiang Linyuan remain silent, Su Muzhi looked at him with some curiosity.

"You don't really expect me to take you to the OB-GYN department, do you?"

Jiang Linyuan glanced at Su Muzhi sideways.

"Aren't you just trying to avoid dealing with that Vice Dean any longer and looking for an excuse to run away?"

Su Muzhi smiled and slowly let go of his hand:

"Don't you think it's strange for me to act like this? She helped me, yet I'm acting like I'm hiding from her."

"When have you ever done anything normally?"

Jiang Linyuan looked at her with surprise.

Su Muzhi raised an eyebrow and bumped her shoulder against Jiang Linyuan's chest:

"I hope you can maintain that attitude when my mother comes looking for you."

Jiang Linyuan was speechless.

"Is your mom really that over-the-top?"

Su Muzhi laughed:

"Perhaps even more so than you imagine."

"Back in high school, a girl in my class had a crush on me. After she found out about it, that girl transferred schools within a few days."

Did you study chemistry in high school? Was there some kind of aluminum-copper reaction?

Hearing this, Jiang Linyuan didn't know how to retort.

"Are you actually a lesbian?"

"My sexual orientation is normal!"

Su Muzhi emphasized solemnly, then added:

"I really only had a relationship where we spoke a few words to each other, but one day she suddenly told me she liked me, and I was just as stunned as anyone."

"Then how did your mom find out about this?"

Jiang Linyuan asked again.

"She found out by snooping through my diary."

Unbelievable.

Who actually writes a diary these days! And seriously! Your mom is something else, actually snooping through a diary?!

Su Muzhi watched Jiang Linyuan's expression and chuckled softly:

"I knew she had been reading my diary for a long time, so I wrote that part specifically for her to see. After all, the girl who confessed to me back then was quite annoying, so I just left it to her to handle."

Her level of tactical maneuvering is comparable to Zhong Li faking his own death.

You and your mother really have a hundred and eighty schemes between you!

But thinking about it, with a mother like that since childhood, if Su Muzhi hadn't been playing these mind games, she probably would have been performing a free-fall stunt a long time ago.

"What about your dad? Doesn't he do anything about it?"

Jiang Linyuan asked again.

Su Muzhi smiled:

"The fact that I'm here is the result of my dad's efforts."

"That woman intended for me to go to university abroad, so she left the matter to my dad to handle, since he has worked in the education sector for many years."

"But she didn't expect that my father, who had always been submissive, would actually stand his ground for once."

Speaking of this, she laughed happily:

"I still can't forget the stunned look on her face when she heard I had applied to Xingnan University. That look was just too funny."

This must have been the highlight of her old man's life.

Vice Principal, you are quite the character yourself.

"Your mom didn't have any objections?"

Jiang Linyuan asked.

"How could she not have objections?"

Su Muzhi sneered:

"She and my dad fought for months, saying that he was ruining my life by doing this."

"I ignored her and used that opportunity to cut off contact with her."

"You've really had it tough."

The tragedy of a dysfunctional family.

Jiang Linyuan looked at Su Muzhi's slightly gloomy face and sighed:

"Your mom is truly a legendary figure."

Su Muzhi didn't respond, but instead looked at Jiang Linyuan and asked with a smile:

"Then from now on, classmate Jiang, you'll have to deal with her."

"Muzhi, we're innocent and pure, just ordinary friends. What else could your mom possibly say?"

Jiang Linyuan said.

"Innocent and pure?"

Su Muzhi repeated the four words, then raised her head, pressing her forehead against Jiang Linyuan's.

The distance between them was so close that they could feel each other's breath.

She blinked her moist, large eyes, her gaze filled only with the boy in front of her:

"We are accomplices, aren't we?"

"We deceived Liu Tingting together, slandered the auntie who got hit together, and we're planning to deceive Yu Songsong together..."

"That doesn't exactly sound innocent and pure, does it?"

Jiang Linyuan stared at the girl inches away, stunned, feeling like he didn't understand her anymore.

Baby, this is getting a bit ambiguous.

He pushed Su Muzhi away and asked hesitantly:

"Do you mean you want to be my girlfriend?"

The atmosphere vanished instantly.

Su Muzhi froze, then laughed in annoyance:

"What a turn-off!"

After saying that, she turned and walked away, not giving Jiang Linyuan any chance to speak.

Jiang Linyuan watched her retreating figure.

No Reward Card dropped, and you still say there's nothing going on between us?

This Su girl, it feels like she just didn't want to deal with her mom and is purely using me as a human shield.

Does she take me for some naive virgin? Thinking a few suggestive words are enough to make me do her bidding?

If every family has its own difficult scriptures to recite, then Su Muzhi's family has an entire library of them.

I can handle her family matters in the capacity of a friend, but I cannot cross that boundary, or else it will be a massive headache.

Her mom coming to find me is her mom's business; how I choose to handle it is my business.

They don't conflict.
