After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

Wen Miao then fell silent.

Call her parents if you want, since they're on her side anyway. Let him take down Jiang Chengzhou.

Lin Zhilan found a chair and sat down. "Boss, it might not be enough to just invite Wen Miao's parents. She just told me that her grandfather and Cheng Zhou's grandfather were comrades-in-arms. Why don't we invite the two elders as well?"

Wen Miao was then frightened.

Her parents doted on her and spoiled her, but her grandfather was different. Because her parents were not very successful, she disliked her grandfather as well. Moreover, her grandfather was concerned about his reputation and would definitely not stand on her side.

"My grandfather is too old and it's inconvenient for him, so we don't need to invite him."

Lin Zhilan ignored her and just looked at Director Zhang with a firm gaze.

Director Zhang sighed. "I'll go get someone."

Only Lin Zhilan, Jiang Chengzhou, and Wen Miao remained in the office.

It was only then that Lin Zhilan realized that she had taught her child to be too innocent and not thick-skinned enough.

Ignoring Wen Miao's presence, she had Jiang Chengzhou sit next to her. "Today, your aunt will teach you a trick: if you're in the right and can't handle a situation, then make a big fuss about it."

Jiang Chengzhou glanced at Wen Miao and whispered, "I just didn't want to embarrass her because she's a girl, but she really went too far."

Lin Zhilan smiled and said, "I know this is your good intention, but Wen Miao doesn't seem to appreciate it."

Wen Miao listened intently to their conversation and snorted coldly.

Lin Zhilan continued, "So now it's you who's in a difficult position, not Wen Miao, because she doesn't have good intentions towards you."

Wen Miao immediately wanted to refute.

Lin Zhilan ignored her and said calmly, "I'm asking you, did you ever firmly reject Wen Miao? Did you ever give her a response or signal that allowed her to hold onto hope?"

Jiang Chengzhou raised his finger, "I swear, I have always been very firm and have never given her any signal."

"That's good," Lin Zhilan said, putting his hand down. "You've done very well in this matter. Now, your determination still isn't enough to stop Wen Miao's crazy behavior, so what should you do next?"

Jiang Chengzhou tentatively asked, "Should we call the parents?"

Lin Zhilan chuckled. "Calling the parents still doesn't work? Comrade Wen Miao doesn't seem like someone who gives up so easily."

Jiang Chengzhou leaned back in his chair. "I'll just avoid them. If I can't afford to mess with them, I can at least avoid them."

"Bullshit!" Lin Zhilan cursed. "Have you forgotten what I just said? Then let's make a big deal out of this. Tell your parents, call the police, whatever, make this as big as possible."

Wen Miao could hardly hold back anymore.

The next second, Jiang Chengzhou blurted out her inner thoughts, "Are you trying to embarrass Wen Miao?"

"Wrong," Lin Zhilan said, "Although the process will embarrass Wen Miao, it is the result of her own choice. I asked you to make a big fuss so that everyone would take your attitude seriously and not be confused. This applies to other things as well as relationships between men and women."

Although Jiang Chengzhou kept refusing, Wen Miao didn't take it seriously.

Others might just be watching the show, but they would unconsciously categorize the relationship between the two.

They would only think it was just youthful whims, and the longer Wen Miao persisted, the deeper their feelings would seem, and the more important it would be to cherish Wen Miao, thus completely ignoring the wishes of Jiang Chengzhou, the person involved.

Lin Zhilan had been pursued like this before.

He relentlessly pursued her, and all her colleagues and friends knew of his existence, tacitly assuming that Lin Zhilan would be with him in the future. No matter how Lin Zhilan refused or explained, it was to no avail.

This incident is happening to a boy named Jiang Chengzhou, but when it happened to Lin Zhilan, it was even harder for a girl to explain.

It seems like whether you like the other person or not doesn't matter anymore. Everyone is saying: "He's so great, and he likes you so much, why aren't you saying yes? You'll miss your chance."

Everyone is saying she's ungrateful and shouldn't have missed out on this so-called "good man".

Public opinion was pushing her forward, and Lin Zhilan finally snapped.

She immediately called the police, saying that the man was harassing her.

Police investigation revealed that the man did indeed frequently visit her neighborhood and the vicinity of the hospital, and often changed his phone number to send messages to Lin Zhilan. He would also frequently send her gifts, but Lin Zhilan would always lose them.

The police initially attempted mediation, but Lin Zhilan refused, and the man was detained for five days.

Lin Zhilan quickly became a "tough girl" in the hospital, and many people thought she was ruthless.

However, after the man was released from the detention center, he spread rumors about Lin Zhilan everywhere. Lin Zhilan used the same trick again and called the police.

This time, no one said the man was a good man anymore.

The matter then subsided.

Lin Zhilan has witnessed how public opinion can push a person to the extreme.

People say that "even the most virtuous woman can be won over by a persistent suitor," but Lin Zhilan has no idea how many such "virtuous women" have finally given in after being pestered to the point of no return.

Wen Miao's face turned pale after hearing this.

"Auntie," she bit her lip and said, "I...I like Jiang Chengzhou, why can't you give me a chance?"

Wen Miao finally put aside her pride and frankly said that she liked Jiang Chengzhou.

Why don't you like it?

She first met Jiang Chengzhou at Jiang Jinzhu's house.

At that time, Jiang Chengzhou was wearing a simple white shirt, his eyebrows were relaxed, and his eyes held the clarity and arrogance of a young man. His movements were casual and uninhibited. When he saw her, he just nodded slightly and then turned to talk to his younger siblings. He was completely different from the boys in the compound.

The moment Wen Miao saw him, she wanted to conquer him.

She wanted Jiang Chengzhou to be like all the other boys who liked her, groveling at her feet.

The more Jiang Chengzhou rejected her, the more she cared about him, as if she were bewitched.

Lin Zhilan frowned and said, "Wen Miao, Jiang Chengzhou has rejected you three times already. Today, his attitude towards you was very clear. There's nothing wrong with liking someone, but now you're causing trouble for others. In other words, is it wrong for Jiang Chengzhou not to like you?"

Wen Miao was about to say something when Director Zhang entered with his men.

Jiang Jinzhu walked towards Lin Zhilan, "Zhilan..."

"Uncle Jiang," Lin Zhilan interrupted him coldly, "please sit down and be a witness."

Jiang Jinzhu felt embarrassed and sat down to one side.

Director Zhang noticed that Jiang Jinzhu seemed somewhat afraid of Lin Zhilan, a younger woman, and scratched his head in surprise.

Wen Miao's parents and grandfather also arrived.

Wen Miao's parents greeted Lin Zhilan with smiles, "You must be Chengzhou's aunt? We've heard of you before, but this is the first time we've met you. We didn't expect you to be so young."

Lin Zhilan nodded and got straight to the point, "I called you all here today to talk about Wen Miao."
