CHAPTER 169: CHAPTER 168: THE AFFAIRS OF SCUMBAGS AND SCUMBAG WOMEN

The accounting teacher for the specialized course is a retired teacher in his fifties. He seems quite amiable.

There are seven or eight students, with the younger ones in their teens or twenties, and the older ones about the same age as Mom. Lin Wan worried that Mom might not adapt, so she stayed until their class began before leaving.

In the afternoon, still uneasy, she arrived early to pick Mom up from the school.

"Mom, did you understand?" Lin Wan asked as she rode her bicycle, carrying Liang Hongmei back home.

"Yes, the teacher explained things that you and your brother have both taught me before. It wasn’t strenuous to listen," Liang Hongmei said. It was her first day at school, and she was incredibly nervous and anxious, sitting as formally as a little school kid.

Seeing the relaxed smile on Mom’s face, Lin Wan also felt much relieved.

After dropping Mom off at home, Lin Wan hurriedly rode her bicycle back to her own school.

As soon as her bike reached the school entrance, she was pulled into a corner by Yin Peibai, who had rushed over from behind. "Little Yin, what’s wrong?"

Yin Peibai made a gesture for silence and pointed to a small alley not far from the entrance.

With just one glance, Lin Wan knew that the two people in the alley were Li Liang and Ye Qing.

"That woman came to the school to see Mr. Li once. When school was dismissed in the evening, it was in this very spot. They were pulling at each other, fearing anyone would see. Xiao Wan, could they be dating? Oh, how disappointing to find out that the refined Mr. Li is taken," Yin Peibai, having a liking for the substitute teacher Mr. Li, felt a pang of disappointment.

Lin Wan nudged her and laughed, "Why bother with them so much? We should just focus on our studies. I’ve heard he might be married, yet now he’s with another woman. Mr. Li might not be what he appears; don’t be fooled." Lin Wan made it a point to remind Yin Peibai, worried she might get involved. As well as Su Ling in their class.

"Really? He’s married? Xiao Wan, where did you hear that?" Yin Peibai’s voice rose, then she quickly pulled Lin Wan along, keeping her head down while entering the school to avoid attracting attention, still whispering questions.

"I heard it too, not sure if it’s true. Since there are rumors, there must be something going on. I’ve heard Mr. Li is quite the player at their school. Maybe that woman is from his school too."

"If that’s true, then Mr. Li is clearly a scoundrel, not a decent person." In this era, being a rogue was a serious crime.

Upon hearing what Lin Wan said, all feelings of fondness Yin Peibai had for Li Liang vanished instantly, leaving only disgust.

"Who cares what he’s like; as long as we don’t get involved, it’ll be fine. Come on, we’re going to be late."

This lifetime, she didn’t want to have any interaction with Li Liang.

It turned out Ye Qing and Li Liang knew each other, and their relationship was quite unusual.

In her past life, she had no idea about it. Ye Qing studied at the art college in S City and had only been studying here for a few months. How come they knew each other so quickly?

In her past life, Ye Qing hadn’t been here long before he came to find her at the school, but this lifetime, many things are different.

Lin Wan didn’t know that the high pitch of Yin Peibai’s voice had successfully caught Ye Qing’s attention in the hallway.

Distracted, Lin Wan finished her class and walked home with Yin Peibai. Since the opening up, a lot of riff-raff and hooligans have emerged. A student had almost been bullied one night while heading home.

Yin Peibai lived in the government compound, quite a distance from the school. Fortunately, her fiancé came to pick her up daily from school.

The rain poured all day long. After Lin Wan took Mom to school in the afternoon, she waited for her half a day at the school, braving the rain to take her back home.

"Ah, not having a man at home is just inconvenient at times like this. You have to handle everything yourself," Liang Hongmei remarked at the school entrance, watching various men braving the rain to pick up female classmates, married or not. "Little Yi has been gone for a couple of months, right? Has he been back?"

"They’re busy in the military. We’ve talked a few times, and I sent him some things. He said he’ll come to see me once this busy period is over." Lin Wan, half truthful, half fibbing, reassured Liang Hongmei, not wanting Mom to worry about her.
