The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

Seeing the kid who seemed to be stealing his cabbage, Lin Shuxian dropped his car keys to the ground with a "clatter".

His gaze fell on the "human pyramid" formation on the sofa, and his face turned from rosy to black at a visible speed, with the veins on his forehead throbbing.

Lin Jing was stunned for a moment, then her eyes flashed with a light that seemed to indicate she had "bumped into something," and she even subconsciously covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.

"Dad... Mom..."

Lin Wanwan screamed and scrambled off Chen Zhi, standing awkwardly to the side, her face flushed red, wishing she could dig a hole and bury herself.

It's over! It's over!

They got caught red-handed!

A lone man and a lone woman, in an ambiguous position, their clothes disheveled... This is a situation that's impossible to explain away even if they jumped into the Yellow River!

In contrast, Chen Zhi's reaction was textbook perfect.

He quickly stood up, straightened his slightly wrinkled T-shirt, and showed no sign of panic or shame on his face. Instead, he revealed an extremely natural, appropriate, and sunny smile.

"Uncle, Aunt, you're back."

Chen Zhi bowed slightly, his tone as calm as if nothing had happened. "Wanwan and I just finished a math test. What we were doing just now was... well, a break, a little sparring session."

They were exchanging martial arts skills.

Lin Shuxian's lips twitched, and he was about to lash out.

Chen Zhi didn't give him a chance at all, and directly turned his firepower on the "top leader" of the family - Lin Jing.

"Auntie, it's been a long time! You look better and better." Chen Zhi stepped forward and naturally took the heavy item from Lin Jing's hand. "When you came in just now, I thought it was Wanwan's older sister. Your skin is so well-maintained, it's like you're aging in reverse."

The saying goes, "To catch the thief, first catch the king."

Flattery will get you everywhere.

Especially handsome young men who can still praise others without batting an eye in such awkward moments.

Lin Jing was instantly overjoyed, and the shock she felt when she was caught was long forgotten.

"Oh my, this child, how can he have such a sweet tongue!" Lin Jing smiled from ear to ear, finding Chen Zhi more and more pleasing to the eye. "That's right, Auntie recently switched to a new skincare set... Come, come, you must be exhausted! Sit down, sit down, Auntie will go cut some fruit for you. Lunch is here, nobody's allowed to leave!"

"Then I'll trouble you, Auntie. I've been craving your cooking anyway," Chen Zhi said with a smile, seizing the opportunity.

Lin Shuxian stood at the door, watching his wife instantly switch sides, and then looked at the brat who had pinned his daughter down on the sofa. He was so angry that his beard almost stood on end.

How can this kid be so shameless?!

The atmosphere at the dinner table was strangely harmonious.

Lin Jing kept putting food on Chen Zhi's plate, her enthusiasm was just like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

"Xiao Zhi, eat more ribs, it's the time when you're growing."

"This fish is good too, it's good for the brain."

Chen Zhi's bowls quickly piled up into a small mountain.

Lin Wanwan sat next to her, her head almost buried in her bowl, her ears still red, like a frightened little quail.

Chen Zhi gently kicked her foot from under the table.

Lin Wanwan looked up in surprise, only to meet Chen Zhi's smiling eyes. He blinked, as if to say: Done.

Lin Wanwan bit her chopsticks and couldn't help but secretly smile.

"By the way, Lao Lin," Lin Jing ladled a bowl of soup for her husband, "I heard from people in the neighboring city that the Pei Group has been making quite a splash lately?"

Lin Shuxian, who had been eating in silence, put down his chopsticks and nodded with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Yes, it seems that Pei's Group has been scaling back its business recently, cutting a lot of peripheral projects, and its cash flow may be a bit problematic." Lin Shuxian sighed. "Moreover, I heard that things aren't peaceful within the Pei family either. That second wife that President Pei married is no pushover; she's been trying to plant people in the company in various ways."

Chen Zhi, who was gnawing on a rib, paused slightly.

Pei Group.

To remarry.

Isn't this just Pei Ningxue's family matter?

It seems that the life of that heiress is even more difficult than imagined.

……

Monday morning.

The bell for morning reading class has been ringing for more than ten minutes.

The classroom was filled with the sound of students reading aloud. Chen Zhi sat in the back row, looking at his deskmate's seat.

The seat next to him was empty.

This is very unusual.

Although Pei Ningxue has a cold personality, she is a well-behaved student who follows the rules. Since the start of the semester, she has been driven to and from school and has never been late even for a minute.

"Report."

Just then, a clear, cold voice came from the classroom doorway.

The whole class instinctively looked up.

Pei Ningxue stood at the door, dressed in a neat school uniform and carrying a schoolbag.

Those eyes, usually as clear and cold as ice and snow, were now bloodshot and showed signs of fatigue.

Pei Ningxue pulled out a chair and sat down gently.

She lowered her head, took out her textbook from her bag, and the knuckles of her fingers gripping the spine of the book were clearly visible. The surrounding noise seemed to be shut out by a barrier she herself had created, making her seem out of place in this classroom full of youth and vitality.

Chen Zhi glanced at her, then subtly looked away.

Although the system task was not yet completed, he was indeed quite curious about how far the "trivial matter of the Pei family" that Uncle Lin had mentioned last night had gone.

But he also understands the importance of discretion.

Asking "Are you okay?" or "What happened to you?" at this point will only get you a cold "I'm fine" in return, and will be meaningless.

To complete the task of "saving his ex-girlfriend," he'll have to wait until the relationship progresses further.

The bell finally rang for the end of the morning reading session. As soon as our homeroom teacher, Sister Qian, left, the classroom erupted in chaos.

The students, who had been holding back all morning, were chatting, doing their homework, or going to the toilet—it was a chaotic scene.

After finishing his breakfast, Chen Zhigang touched the empty tray table and remembered that he had just taken out the trash yesterday and forgot to put a new trash bag on it today.

As a hygienic and responsible young person of the new era, how can I live without garbage bags?

He got up with practiced ease, his target clearly Lin Wanwan's seat.

This girl's seat is practically a treasure chest, with snacks, stickers, trash bags, a mirror, and a comb—it has everything.

As Chen Zhigang approached Lin Wanwan's seat, he was about to speak when he realized that there was only the back of her head on the seat.

Lin Wanwan was lying face down on the table, her head almost buried between her arms, and her shoulders were heaving, making it look like she was crying.

Chen Zhi raised an eyebrow.

Why are you crying? Didn't I just comfort you yesterday?

Could it be that the math problems were too difficult, and her brain capacity was insufficient to have nightmares?
