At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

"Haha."

Ari was so angry he laughed.

I think I might have misjudged him.

"Hare's judgment isn't actually that good, otherwise she wouldn't have been so aggrieved all this time."

"It seems that my interest in him should also come to an end."

Disappointment and resentment are the only emotions she feels right now.

I'm thinking of getting revenge on Su Che.

Tell him that I'm only giving you this one chance, and since you've missed it, don't even think about asking for my forgiveness again.

The life of a wandering rogue ends here.

"Forget it, if he's not good enough, I'll find someone else." Ari instantly came up with a new alternative plan—

"Didn't Ms. Su say that she wanted to introduce her son to me? I kept refusing to go because I was always fantasizing that Su Che could provide me with some comfort. Now look what happened, that useless little brother of hers was seduced by a maid and left."

"In that case, shall I go and meet with Ms. Su's son?"

"What if he's better than you, more attractive to me? Why should I hang myself on one tree?"

"Hehe, I'm not a brother-obsessed person."

Ari kept comforting and deceiving herself, even feeling that her thoughts were quite reasonable—

"Ms. Su comes from a wealthy and powerful family. She is calm, authoritative, and very farsighted, and has excellent taste in aesthetics. Presumably, her son must have taken after her, and his looks can't be too bad."

Well... economically, needless to say, he'd be several classes better off than me; as for his romantic life, with his mother keeping an eye on him, he probably wouldn't be a womanizer..."

"Alright then, since that's the case..."

"There's no time like the present. I'll send Ms. Su the meeting date myself and let her make the arrangements."

The thirsty Ari had given up on Su Che; she couldn't bear the loneliness of winter without a suitable person to satisfy her physical needs.

In the dead of night, she quickly grabbed her phone, found Ms. Su's contact information, and respectfully presented her request:

“Ms. Su, this is Ari. I’ve thought about the blind date you mentioned last time. I think we can arrange it in the next few days… Um, as long as the other person doesn’t have any major issues, I’m open to it. Um. I also accept premarital behavior.”

She conveyed her thoughts precisely.

Although it was 3 a.m., she knew that Ms. Su was unlikely to rest, because as the chief, she had too many things to deal with and might suddenly reply.

As expected, when it came to questions about children, Ms. Su replied immediately:

"That's great. My disobedient son needs a calm woman like you to keep him in line. Ari, wait for my news, I'll tell him to make time to see you, no later than this weekend."

"Okay, Ms. Su, thank you. I will prepare accordingly."

After replying, Ari finally let out a sigh of relief.

As if she had lost all her strength, she slowly slid from her seated position into the blankets, like a soft body.

His facial expressions were incredibly complex in the darkness.

She wasn't sure if this was the ending she wanted, but in any case, her pride as a goddess kept nagging at her; she couldn't tolerate a boyfriend like Hare, a small-time painter, ignoring her so much.

Now, she has to do things against her will.

"Tsk. I clearly gave you a chance."

She muttered to herself in a huff, "I invited you to eat something delicious and you didn't come. Heh, you'll regret it later. You really don't know what's good for you."

Filled with resentment, as if she had accomplished something, she thought of the person she hated most, wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, and finally relaxed and fell asleep an hour later.

Chapter 233 Maid Substitute: Tianhai's Intrigue Within an Intrigue

Su Che had no idea that he had been set up.

He can ignore other people's business, but he can't ignore the messages his mother sends him.

"Son, don't forget what you promised your mother. The blind date is set for this weekend. The other person has taken time out of their busy schedule to meet you, so don't disappoint them."

"……Row."

Su Che stood up his goddess, but he couldn't stand up his mother.

In his eyes, his mother was a tool, and also served as a referee, able to determine whether he had surpassed his father in some way.

This blind date seemed to be for my mother's sake, but in reality, I was also very curious about why the other person's appearance was so similar to someone else's.

Although photos on the internet are unreliable, and that particular picture was taken some time ago, his curiosity still compelled him to see for himself whether the other person was truly a "top beauty" as his mother described.

"I've booked the hotel for you, you don't need to pay a penny. If you two hit it off, you can go to sleep when you're tired from eating and playing. Okay, that's all for now."

My mother's words were still abstract.

"What kind of mother would book a room for her son on the very first meeting? Is she even human?"

Su Che muttered to himself, indicating his confusion.

Ms. Su, however, knew her son very well and believed that all her arrangements would come in handy.

-

A new day begins.

Su Che was woken up early in the morning by Miya—

"Cat owners, cat owners. School's starting, take me to school."

"?!"

hiss.

Su Che opened his eyes from his drowsy state and realized that it was time to go back to school today.

Since Miya has already moved from her senior year of high school to her freshman year of college, her new semester has begun!

As a cat owner, I have to shoulder the responsibility of guardianship and take her to school.

"Okay, okay, I'll get up right away."

He was still half asleep when he suddenly sat up, like a mummy who had risen from the dead.

"Just asking, Miya, which university did you get into? Was it a music academy?"

"..."

Miya hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

The expression on her face was clear—"We're already sleeping in the same bed and trying to conceive, but you don't even know which school I go to. You don't care about me at all."

But she didn't say it outright. She just pursed her lips, shook her head, and said, "I took the entrance exam for your school, and then I got in."

"what!"

Su Che's eyes widened. "I graduated, and you got into my school?"

"Yeah, because they're all in Tianhai, and they're so free, they can always skip classes..."

Miya's motivation was actually skipping class, which was quite difficult for Su Che to understand.

"No, why didn't you mention the tuition fee to me? Now that school has started, tuition fees are definitely due, right? And you're supposed to go to military training, right? It's like you haven't gone at all?"

A barrage of questions came rushing in. Looking at the kitten's evasive eyes, Su Che wondered if she was hiding something.

Sure enough, An Qing was also startled by the two voices.

She got up, put on her bra, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and looked at the kitten.

"Knowing you have school, you still kept Cheche up so late... Miya, did you not sleep at all?"

It's clear that the two women are concerned with completely different things.

An Qing focused her attention on Miya's behavior, while Miya's focus was on getting Su Che's attention.

"My teacher paid for my tuition, and he said the military training was too tough, so he went to the principal and got a medical report for me, which helped me get the tuition waived."

The kitten chose to pretend it didn't hear An Qing's words and instead answered Su Che's question seriously.

"what?"

Su Che was almost dumbfounded, wondering, "Just what kind of all-powerful adult man is your teacher?"

They can even exempt college students from military training, which they desperately want to avoid? Are they still musicians? This is practically wielding absolute power!

"I remember my school's tuition was 58,000 a year, right? The accommodation fee was 2500, which would add up to 60,000, not counting other miscellaneous things."

“Yes, my teacher paid for it. She said that these kinds of things are usually handled by the elders in the family and that the pressure shouldn’t be transferred to my husband. So, as an elder in the family, he replaced my father, who only knew how to drink, and paid for it for me.”

Miya said with a grin, "My sister doesn't know about this either. After all, her shop's profits are limited, and she wouldn't be able to afford to suddenly come up with 6."

So the teacher took that into consideration and helped me solve the problem. But next year's tuition... he said, 'If your husband insists on paying for it, then I'll be very happy.'"

Su Che: "..."

The sky was clear, and it wasn't raining, but I felt a little speechless.

He thought Miya's teacher was also a remarkable person, who was both a role model for students and enjoyed watching the children have fun.

An Qing nodded secretly, and said with schadenfreude, "Cheche, your annual expenses will increase by 6. I'll write it down for you as cat care expenses."

"……Row."

As the head of the family, Su Che had long been mentally prepared.

We're no longer in the stage where one person is fed and the whole family isn't hungry. If you're going to keep a cat, you should raise it well.

If you can't take good care of a cat, don't raise one. Otherwise, it's a sin. The cat suffers, and the person feels exhausted.

"By the way, Anqing. Do you want to go back to school? If you also want to go back to school, I can try to earn your share of the money as well. Anyway, even if I earn tens of thousands more, it's just a matter of me working a little harder."

Su Che suddenly turned to the house cat and made an idea that surprised her.

His point was that since Miya's tuition fees had to be paid, it came down to fairness and justice, and the other kittens shouldn't be treated unfairly at home.

An Qing is of college age, but she didn't have the money, so she voluntarily dropped out of school and hasn't received her degree yet.
