Lin Mumu didn’t like the feeling that woman gave her. But seeing as she went to her car without further action, Lin Mumu simply stopped thinking about it and rode her bike back to school.

  When she left, she could feel the woman’s gaze on her for a long time as she leaned on a red sports car. It wasn’t a provocative glare but a pitying gaze.

  Since Yun Ting wasn’t home, Lin Mumu didn’t feel like going back there, so she simply decided to live in the school dorm for the time being.

  When she came back, she first dropped by the bamboo tower of the religious department and put down her new flowerpot looked especially pitiful with its single branch with only two leaves left hanging. The difference was particularly striking when her pot was compared to Professor Lin’s noble and proud orchids.

  Afterwards, Lin Mumu went back to her dorm room and took An Xiaoqin, Chen Fangya and Liu Yuanyuan to eat hot pot at the restaurant by the school gate.

  Xiaoqin, I’ll consider the money your brother gave me as borrowed from you. I will definitely return it to you later.”


  “Good.” An Xiaoqin casually nodded her head.

  They all knew that Liu Yuanyuan had strong self-esteem, and it was only because Lin Mumu thought of an ingenious way to give her money that she accepted it. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t have accepted it under any circumstance.

  “Yuanyuan, I bought a shop in the flowers’ and birds’ market. Rather than tutoring, you can come and help me watch over the shop. It’s not as exhausting as tutoring, and it’s also 25 per hour.” Lin Mumu suddenly spoke out
