Old Wounds Reopened

Originally, they thought it was just an opening ceremony and there would be no classes. However, one teacher after another shattered everyone's last hope.

Some teachers were going over test papers, and after one finished, another took over.

This was high school life, dull and uninteresting.

They even had to have evening self - study sessions.

Before that, the seats were rearranged. Chu Miaomiao's seat was moved behind Lin Mo.

However, Chu Miaomiao rarely took the initiative to talk to Lin Mo. She just glanced at Jiang Yunlu's empty seat, then couldn't help but take out her phone under the desk and asked in the QQ group,

"Jiang Yunlu, why didn't you come to school today?"

Jiang Yunlu replied quickly.

"My flight was delayed. I've already arrived in Yangcheng and will be back for class tomorrow."

"Oh."

Jiang Yunlu closed her newly - bought iPhone 5 and wondered why Chu Miaomiao would notice whether she came to school or not.

She immediately opened Wang Qin's QQ chat window.

"Has the seating arrangement in the class changed?"

The other side replied quickly.

"Yes. How do you know? Don't worry, your seat remains the same."

"Has Chu Miaomiao's seat changed?"

Wang Qin in the class took a look and only then noticed that Chu Miaomiao was now sitting behind Lin Mo. From time to time, she would take out snacks from the desk hole and hand them to Lin Mo.

Danger!

Wang Qin quickly replied, "How do you know? Now Chu Miaomiao is sitting behind Lin Mo."

Sitting in the car, Jiang Yunlu looked at the scenery outside and took a deep breath.

"It's okay. I'm just asking."

"Come back quickly. You can't just give up easily."

During this winter vacation, the alliance group on QQ had been quiet.

Jiang Yunlu knew that Lin Mo spent most of his time in his hometown. But he had been back for a week, and it seemed that he had been spending time with Chu Miaomiao and Xie Yuling during this week.

She just didn't know what they had been doing.

Actually, Jiang Yunlu had wanted to come back early, but her aunt and father were having so much fun that they weren't willing to go back immediately.

So she could only plan to come back a few days ago.

Unexpectedly, a blizzard hit, causing the flight to be unable to take off.

She was finally able to fly back today at the first opportunity.

At this moment, what she was thinking was,

"Don't let someone steal my home! Don't let someone steal my home!"

Silly girl, that home isn't yours yet. How can it be considered stealing?

After the evening self - study session was over, Xie Yuling was waiting outside.

Lin Mo was carrying a backpack with a small sachet hanging on the zipper.

When Xie Yuling looked up and saw the sachet, she couldn't help but smile.

People passing by from Class 7 were very surprised. After all, Xie Yuling in Class 7 didn't like to say a single word, let alone show a smiling face. You could hardly even see her teeth.

But they also knew that Xie Yuling basically only showed a smiling face to Lin Mo.

If Lin Mo knew this, he would add that Chu Miaomiao could also see her smile.

"Let's go. Let's go home and return to the original beauty."

Lin Mo carried his bag on one shoulder, and Chu Miaomiao and Xie Yuling followed behind. The two girls leaned against each other, whispering and laughing loudly.

Lin Mo didn't bother to listen to the girls' little secrets. Knowing too much would take away the fun.

When they reached the door, Chu Lintian's car was already parked there. Chu Miaomiao trotted over and got into the car.

Chu Lintian waved to Lin Mo and Xie Yuling before driving away.

"You said how old is Sister Chu. She takes such good care of herself. My mom doesn't look young anymore."

Lin Mo shrugged and said, "She's not even thirty yet."

"Ah?! Miaomiao is at most sixteen this year... Then..." Xie Yuling suddenly turned to look at Lin Mo with a panicked look in her eyes.

Lin Mo almost wanted to tell the cruel joke that Chu Miaomiao's father was in prison.

But no, it didn't fit his persona, so he just shook his head.

"Sister Chu is Chu Miaomiao's aunt. Her parents died in a car accident."

Previously, Lin Mo had only told Xie Yuling what had happened to Chu Miaomiao but didn't mention her parents.

But now that Chu Miaomiao already knew about it, it didn't matter to tell.

Xie Yuling couldn't help but sigh, "Poor Miaomiao."

Lin Mo didn't mention that the Chu family was about to take control of a group worth more than 20 billion yuan.

It was meaningless to talk about such things.

Just as the two of them were almost at the downstairs, a figure blocked Xie Yuling's way in the distance.

Without saying a word, the figure directly knelt in front of Xie Yuling.

"Xie Yuling, I'm sorry for you. I want to see my dad for the last time."

Looking at this figure with whom she had broken off relations for two years.

Xie Yuling took a deep breath, said nothing, and directly bypassed her and walked upstairs.

Lin Mo looked at the girl kneeling on the ground. If he guessed correctly, she should be Chu Ling.

The girl who had betrayed Xie Yuling.

From what she said, Lin Mo could roughly guess what was going on.

But Xie Yuling had no intention of paying any attention. She opened the door and went upstairs in one go.

Lin Mo also followed her up.

The kneeling girl saw that Xie Yuling ignored her and didn't get up immediately. Instead, she knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Although Xie Yuling had ignored her just now, she still couldn't help but look down from the window on the stairs.

Lin Mo followed behind and said, "That person should be Chu Ling, right?"

"Yes. I'd recognize her even if she turned to ashes."

Lin Mo watched as the girl downstairs was crying so hard that many people passing by were pointing and whispering.

Xie Yuling looked at Lin Mo. She wasn't stupid. From what Chu Ling had said just now, she could also guess something.

"You're probably right."

Lin Mo nodded.

Xie Yuling's eyes were slightly red, but she still turned around and walked upstairs.

Lin Mo didn't say much either.

He just went upstairs with her.

They both tacitly didn't tell Zheng Yuan about this matter.

Lin Mo was sitting on the bed in the rental house.

Sure enough, not long after, his phone rang. It was obviously a message from Xie Yuling.

"Has she left?"

"She's gone, but I guess she'll come back tomorrow."

"So do you think what she said about seeing her dad for the last time is true?"

Lin Mo thought for a while and then typed, "What if it's true? What if it's false? If her father really passed away, would you want to help her fulfill her wish?"

The "typing..." indicator appeared on the screen...

After a long time, only three words appeared.

"I don't know."

Xie Yuling was sitting on the bed, hugging her knees. Her heart was full of struggles.

She knew that kind of pain. She clearly remembered that during that time, she had always been staring at the door.

Hoping that her father would, as usual, push open the door of the house and casually ask how her day at school was and if anyone had bullied her.

If it were someone else, maybe she would really agree to help.

But that person was Chu Ling.

But Chu Ling's father...

She remembered that gentle man in the teacher's office. After hearing what had happened, he not only scolded his daughter severely but also comforted her.

Lin Mo's spiritual sense sensed Xie Yuling's entangled state. Finally, he couldn't help but go to Xie Yuling's room.

"This little girl is so entangled. I know you're not entangled about Chu Ling but about Chu Ling's father. You don't care about Chu Ling, but that father of Chu Ling is a good man."

Hearing this, Xie Yuling suddenly looked up at Lin Mo sitting in front of the desk.

“Could you please use the door next time?”
