Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

"Yes Yes……"

Faced with Zhang Qian's sarcastic remarks, Chen Shen could only force a smile.

"What is it?"

Zhang Qian was displeased again, glaring at him with her round eyes.

Old Chen, Old Chen, I was just throwing a little tantrum. Can't you tell that I just want to hear some nice words?
Wanting the horse to run but not feeding it grass? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
However, Chen Shen did not understand Zhang Qian's hint. He simply turned his head to the side, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Last night he was secretly looking down on Xue Rui, but today he suddenly admires Xue Rui a little.

If he can't even handle one woman, how does Xue Rui manage to handle two at the same time?
Actually, Chen Shen overlooked one person, or rather three: Chen Tingting was also constantly causing trouble...

"Hey~"

Zhang Qian sighed helplessly. She knew the man she had chosen.

Chen Shen doesn't have many delicate thoughts, but he always steps forward without hesitation whenever something important happens.

She held the small fan in front of Chen Shen, blowing a cool breeze on him, thinking that although she was unhappy, this could be considered an admission of weakness...

Chen Shen hesitated for a long time before changing his words:
"Honey, let me tell you, I bear the most responsibility. I shouldn't have arranged for her to transfer schools in the first place."

Zhang Qian froze on the spot, wondering if Old Chen was targeting her.

I was the one who pushed Chen Tingting to transfer schools!

She glared at Chen Shen and moved the small fan away without any hesitation.

Chen Shen swallowed hard. Women's minds are really hard to fathom.

I can't say anything, and I can't not say anything either.

Forget it, I'd better shut up.

So the two of them waited quietly for a while longer.

Chen Shen craned his neck to look at the students, while Zhang Qian silently watched Chen Shen's hands, which were bruised from being squeezed by plastic bags.

She patted Chen Shen's hand on the back: "Put it on the ground, doesn't it hurt your hand if you keep carrying it like that?"

"It's for Tingting, how can you put it on the ground?" Chen Shen shook his head.

Zhang Qian stomped her foot in anger:
"Tingting, Tingting, all you think about is her. She doesn't like you. She likes Xue Rui."

"Wife, what are you saying? I am Tingting's father."

Chen Shen turned around in disbelief. He couldn't believe his wife was saying those words; it made him feel like he'd had an affair...

“I’m still her mother.” Zhang Qian pouted and muttered softly:

"Our daughter will get married sooner or later, but you'll still be with me for the rest of your life..."

Chen Shen's lips twitched, wondering what kind of jealousy he was feeling.

He ignored Zhang Qian and continued to stare in the direction of the crowd.

Suddenly, Chen Shen's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously nudged Zhang Qian: "Tingting's here."

"Where?"

Zhang Qian's eyes widened, and she finally managed to spot a familiar face.

"Tingting, come here."

Chen Shen and Zhang Qian waved at the same time.

……

In the crowd, Chen Tingting suddenly stopped and looked around warily.

"Chen Tingting, were those uncle and...sister calling for you?"

Feng Xiaoqin felt that the two were not a good match in appearance, so she subconsciously lowered the woman's social status by one generation.

"What sister? That's my mom."

Chen Tingting said without turning her head, her sharp eyes scanning the crowd.

"Auntie looks so young." Feng Xiaoqin looked surprised, then looked at the man beside her with increasing envy.

She couldn't help but marvel at how good the genes were in Chen Tingting's family; three generations of them were all so young.

So, without caring what Chen Tingting was looking for, she simply bypassed Chen Tingting and went to greet her first.

"Hello, Grandpa." Feng Xiaoqin smiled at Chen Shen, then turned and waved to Zhang Qian.

"Hello, Auntie, I am Feng Xiaoqin, Chen Tingting's classmate."

In an instant, Chen Shen's lips twitched repeatedly.

Zhang Qian was already laughing so hard she was breathless, her body trembling as she said:
"Excuse me, he's Tingting's father. Why are you calling him 'Grandpa'?"

Feng Xiaoqin blushed instantly and could only awkwardly force a smile: "Hello, Uncle."

"Hello, hello." Chen Shen replied with a forced smile, his eyes fixed on Chen Tingting, who was looking around nervously.

Feng Xiaoqin embarrassed herself and hurriedly turned around to call Chen Tingting to ease the awkward situation:
"Chen Tingting, what are you looking for? Your parents are here, aren't you going over to them?"

"It's because they're here that I need to take a good look around to see if there are any suspicious people."

Chen Tingting spoke very seriously.

Feng Xiaoqin ignored her words and forcefully pushed Chen Tingting toward the dormitory door.

The moment Chen Tingting saw Chen Shen, her eyebrows furrowed and she said:

"Old Chen, didn't I tell you not to come?"

Before Chen Shen could speak, Zhang Qian coldly rebuked him:

"Tingting! How dare you talk to your father like that!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the students in front of the door paused, the air seemed to freeze for a moment, and then slowly resumed its flow as if nothing had happened.

Chen Tingting shrank her neck and looked around nervously, afraid that Gu Muxue would find out.

When Lao Chen comes, he will easily be targeted by Gu Muxue. What if Gu Muxue speaks ill of him to his parents and also makes up stories about Xue Rui?
She absolutely cannot let Gu Muxue succeed!
Although she didn't see Gu Muxue, Chen Tingting noticed two girls snickering, and she immediately recognized them as her roommates.

"Mom and Dad, let's... let's go inside and talk first." Chen Tingting's voice softened.

"Don't be harsh with the child. I promised Tingting I wouldn't come, and I broke my promise," Chen Shen said gently.

"Just keep spoiling her," Zhang Qian muttered softly.

"Hmph!" Chen Tingting put her arm around Old Chen's arm and moved a little further away from Zhang Qian.

"Don't bother your dad, he's already tired from carrying things," Zhang Qian said irritably.

Chen Tingting was taken aback when she heard this. She looked down and saw that the box was full of fruits and snacks, all of which she usually liked to eat. The portions were also very large, so it was clear that she had brought some for her roommates as well.

Chen Tingting was very unhappy. She clearly didn't get along with her roommates, yet she still had to give them snacks and fruit.

She turned around abruptly, her gaze falling on the girls in the lobby on the first floor: "You two, come here."

The two girls looked at each other, their hearts pounding.

"Who told you to laugh just now? Now look what's happened, she's got her eye on you!"

"Didn't you laugh too?"

The two complained for a while, but when they got to Chen Tingting, they both fell silent and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"what happened?"

"Help my dad carry his things," Chen Tingting instructed.

Chen Shen's mind was in a mess.

What's going on here?

My daughter used to be so well-behaved, even scared to tears by thugs, how come she can order people around so easily now?
Could it be... that he's been corrupted by Xue Rui?
The two girls were stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it.

The two of them thought at the same time: after all, they were the ones who mocked him first, so it was only right that they did some work...

In reality, this is just self-comfort.

The key point is that Chen Tingting has a straightforward personality. After the push-up incident, she became very popular among the boys. In addition, Xue Rui had previously told her about "running for class monitor," and she used watermelons to win over a group of people.

Nowadays, the "Tingting Party" has become the largest force in their class. Chen Tingting's voice has surpassed that of the class assistant, and she can be said to have a large following.

If Chen Tingting becomes the class monitor, it won't be them isolating Chen Tingting, but Chen Tingting isolating them... "No need, no need, she was just joking, you guys go up quickly."

Chen Shen smiled kindly and made room for the two girls.

The two girls didn't dare to leave directly, but instead shrugged, indicating that they were powerless to help.

"let's go."

Chen Tingting waved her hand impatiently and took one end of the heavy plastic bag herself.

Feng Xiaoqin said, "I'll mention the other end."

So, the group walked up to the fourth floor, chatting and laughing.

Zhang Qian: "Tingting, who did you learn all this from?"

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. They even ate the snacks Xue Rui gave me before, and I didn't hold it against them."

Chen Shen: "..."

……

When Chen Shen and his wife entered the dormitory, they first exchanged a few polite words with Chen Tingting's roommates to build rapport, and then distributed some snacks and fruits.

Chen Shen sensed a strong sense of alienation and inexplicable worry from these girls, the source of which was naturally his daughter.

He sighed helplessly and began to check Chen Tingting's accommodation.

If you don't look closely, you'll see what's going on in Chen Tingting's spot?

There's a photo of Xue Rui on the wall, and a bunch of gym equipment under the table.
Dumbbells, arm exercisers, hand grippers...

Chen Shen didn't dare to directly question Xue Rui about his photo, since it had already been posted at home, and he would be glared at if he just glanced at it.

Therefore, he planned to start the conversation with fitness equipment.

"Tingting, do you need to build strength to study medicine? I think you're better suited to be a policeman," Chen Shen joked.

"This..." Chen Tingting's mind raced, trying to come up with a reasonable excuse.

You can't exactly say, "I'm going to beat up Lin Ruoxi, so I need to practice my strength first."

"Old Chen, this shows you're not an expert," Zhang Qian said slowly, her hands behind her back.

"You think only you police officers need strength? This is because our Tingting has foresight."

"How can you squeeze open the three-in-one nutrient solution without some strength?"

"How can you hold down those little wild boars in the pediatric ward without some strength?"

"Without strength, how can you reset an orthopedic patient?"

Zhang Qian's barrage of questions left Chen Shen speechless.

Chen Tingting's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at her mother.

As expected of a mother, she managed to intimidate Old Chen with just a few words.

In the future, I should learn more from my mother.

Chen Tingting's roommates, on the other hand, had expressions of sudden realization.

That's right! How come we didn't think of that?

They really wanted to ask Chen Tingting's mother what she did for a living, but they were too embarrassed to ask, since they didn't get along with Chen Tingting and their behavior earlier had made the atmosphere very tense.

Feng Xiaoqin smiled slightly and asked on behalf of the group:
"Auntie, what do you do for a living? How do you know so much about it?"

"A head nurse from a top-tier hospital."

The moment Zhang Qian finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but gasp in amazement, but more than anything, they were filled with envy.

A policeman father, a head nurse mother...

Having such a mother would definitely provide medical students like them with a lot of connections and experience.

Zhang Qian's eyes curved into a smile as she turned her gaze to the other girls in the corner of the dormitory, gently blinking her eyes:
"Although Auntie isn't a doctor, she's much more familiar with the medical system than you are. Do you have any questions? You're all Tingting's good friends, so Auntie will answer them to the best of her ability."

Just as they were about to speak, they subconsciously looked at Chen Tingting.

They lacked the confidence to become "Chen Tingting's good friend".

Zhang Qian frowned and turned her head away in dissatisfaction.

Chen Tingting lowered her head instinctively, thinking that she was definitely going to get scolded.

"Old Chen, what's the point of you, a grown man, staying in the girls' dormitory? Look how scared you've made the girls; they're too scared to even speak."

Zhang Qian glared at Chen Shen, then glanced at Xue Rui's photo on the wall.

Chen Shen slapped his forehead, realizing he had almost forgotten something important.

Chen Tingting suddenly looked up; she felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it...

"Tingting, how about going out for a chat with Daddy?" Chen Shen said softly.

"it is good."

Chen Tingting nodded. She also wanted to know what Old Chen was up to and why he gave her a strange feeling today.

Before leaving, Chen Tingting glared fiercely at her roommates one last time, silently lip-reading a message:
"Don't talk nonsense."

Chen Shen's eye twitched. He thought to himself that Xue Rui and Gu Muxue had had a huge influence on his daughter's personality...

Chen Tingting used to be so different. She was clearly a little girl who relied on others for everything, but now she's as independent as a little adult.

Able to work and earn money on my own, take the high-speed rail by myself, go to school by myself...

If things continue like this, it won't be long before I can be completely independent.

But growth comes at a price. Chen Shen didn't want Chen Tingting to grow up, or rather, he didn't want Chen Tingting to grow up too fast.

Everything should be done step by step. He laid such a solid foundation for Chen Tingting, but she didn't use it at all. She only knew how to revolve around a man.

Thinking of this, Chen Shen felt a surge of inexplicable anger.

What's wrong with my daughter?
You still don't like it?
No, no, no, you'd better not take a liking to it...

Chen Shen cursed Xue Rui in his heart for being blind, but was also glad that Xue Rui hadn't harmed his daughter.

A single-minded approach has become a double-edged sword...

"Old Chen, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Chen Tingting tilted her head and noticed that her father's expression kept changing, as if he was very conflicted.

"If you don't tell me I'm going in, then you can just stay at the door." Chen Tingting said, and was about to push the door open.

"I saw Xue Rui yesterday."

Chen Shen suddenly stopped speaking, his face full of regret.

He really wanted to slap himself. How could he be so anxious that he forgot to cover up the details?

When it comes to his daughter, he's even less tolerant than the prisoners in the interrogation room...

Before I even asked, he confessed everything.

In this way, wouldn't it be as if he himself were to jump out and say: I came to Chang'an yesterday, but I didn't look for you; I went to see Xue Rui first.

Unsurprisingly, Chen Tingting's face visibly darkened.

"What did you go to do?" Chen Tingting asked with a resentful look in her eyes.

"Have a meal."

The moment Chen Shen finished answering, a glint of light appeared in Chen Tingting's eyes.

"You..." Chen Tingting's voice choked with sobs, "You've gone too far."

"Dad was wrong. I'll take you out for a nice meal today to make it up to you."

Chen Shen bent over, his posture as low as it could possibly be.

Yes, what parents would come to the city where their child goes to school and go to see other people's children first?

"It's not about that. I haven't had a meal with him yet. Why didn't you invite me?" (End of Chapter)
