8: Auntie's night visit?

“Alright, I understand, Mom. You should go to bed early. If anything happens, call me immediately. I’ll come see you again tomorrow.”

Jiang Feng grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.

His mother’s mental state was much better now, which relieved him greatly.

He would have to visit her often over the next few days and earn enough for the over one million medical expenses as soon as possible.

Moreover, since he had been reborn, in addition to rectifying past regrets, he also wanted to live freely and without restraint once he had enough money.

“Okay, Mom knows. You be careful on the way too.”

Luo Shuwan nodded with satisfaction.

The child who used to trail behind her calling “Mama” had now grown up.

“Shu Wan, you should rest early. I’ll bring you your favorite preserved egg and lean pork congee tomorrow.”

“Auntie, good night. We’ll be heading off now!” Zhang Qingning smiled, her face radiant like a flower.

“Okay, be safe!”

Luo Shuwan smiled and waved her hand.

The three walked out of the ward, and a faint smell of disinfectant permeated the Hospital corridor.

Jiang Feng walked in front, his steps hurried, while Zheng Yiyun and Zhang Qingning followed behind. The three went downstairs together.

Once downstairs at the Hospital, Jiang Feng walked to his motorcycle, patted the seat, and said:

“Auntie Yiyun, Sister Qingning, get on.”

Zheng Yiyun nodded:

“Qing Ning, you sit in front, I’ll sit in the back. Three people squeezed together is no problem.”

“Okay.”

Zhang Qingning smiled, straddled the motorcycle, sat in front, and hugged Jiang Feng from behind.

Zheng Yiyun then also sat on, her hands resting lightly on Zhang Qingning’s shoulders.

Passersby entering and exiting the Hospital saw this scene and cast envious glances.

“Damn, what does this kid do? Riding a beat-up motorcycle, he can carry two stunning beauties?”

“Why? Where did I lose? I’m not worse looking than him, so why don’t I have such good fortune with women?”

“He must be a motorcycle taxi driver, picking up passengers! Such high-caliber beauties would look at me, not this pretty boy!”

“These two beauties are too beautiful, and they have completely different styles. Could they be mother and daughter? Although they don’t look alike, each has her own beauty—one is voluptuous and mature, full of charm, and the other is an intellectual older sister, sunny and cheerful. Simply amazing!”

“It’s late at night, are they going home together to… roll in the sheets? No! That’s worse than killing me!”

The passersby’s whispers made the two beauties, one older and one younger, extremely embarrassed, their faces flushing simultaneously.

The thick-skinned Mr. Ye, however, felt nothing. He started the engine, and the motorcycle let out a low roar, slowly driving into the night.

On the street, pedestrians had gradually thinned out, with only a few occasional late-night returnees hurrying by.

Most of the shops along the road were already closed, with only a few 24-hour convenience stores still lit up.

On the motorcycle, Zhang Qingning sat in front, her body slightly swaying and bumping as the motorcycle moved.

Zhang Qingning’s face instantly turned red. She felt her heart rate suddenly quicken, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

She shyly shrank back, subconsciously pulling away from Jiang Feng.

But the bumps of the moving motorcycle forced her to lean back against him.

...

Soon, the three returned home.

“Mom, Xiao Feng, I’m going to rest now. I’ve been staying up late coding every day recently, and I feel like all my hair is falling out. I’m so sleepy.”

Zhang Qingning yawned and stretched, inadvertently revealing her graceful and alluring curves, making her look delectable.

“Okay, good night, Sister Qingning.”

Jiang Feng nodded quickly, watching Zhang Qingning go upstairs to the second floor.

Zheng Yiyun’s home was a duplex. The first floor housed Zheng Yiyun’s master bedroom, while the second floor had three rooms where Zhang Qingning, Zhang Shuya, and Jiang Feng all resided.

“Auntie, should I go back to my room now? You should also rest early. Thank you for helping me take care of my mother these past few months; otherwise, I would have been truly helpless by myself.”

Jiang Feng was very grateful to Zheng Yiyun.

In this life, he would have to compensate her well.

“There you go again. I told you, when Shu Wan and I met, you weren’t even born yet! Go to sleep quickly, good night, silly boy.”

Zheng Yiyun rolled her eyes at him and waved her hand.

“Hehe, okay.”

Jiang Feng chuckled, then went upstairs.

Zhang Qingning returned to her room and collapsed onto the bed, but Jiang Feng’s figure kept appearing in her mind.

She recalled the moment on the motorcycle when her chest touched Jiang Feng’s back, and a blush spread across her face again.

She rolled over, covered her head with the blanket, her fair little feet wiggling around, and mumbled:

“Oh, what am I thinking? It’s so embarrassing.”

She chuckled to herself, and soon fell asleep.

On the other side, Jiang Feng was pondering in his room how to get his hard-earned money back from Liu Ruyan.

Suddenly, a clear electronic sound rang out in his mind.

DING!

“At nineteen, you were a simp, entrusting your hard-earned money to Liu Ruyan. But when you desperately needed money, she shamelessly embezzled it, indirectly causing your mother’s death. Now, do you have the courage to get the money back? To completely bid farewell to your past self!?”

“Task Content: Use any means to retrieve the host’s hard-earned money from Liu Ruyan!”

“Task Reward: Final amount retrieved * 3, Charm + 10 (Can be upgraded to Simp, unlocks Milk Tea Shop reward)”

The task triggered promptly.

Jiang Feng took a deep breath, his mind rapidly formulating a general plan.

In his previous life, Jiang Feng was falsely accused of rape by a “little fairy.” After being released from prison, he accidentally learned from a university classmate that Liu Ruyan had actually become an associate professor at the school, but was expelled for academic misconduct!

When he heard this news, his mind buzzed, the absurdity of it making it hard for him to believe.

Liu Ruyan could actually become an associate professor?

Later, his friend patiently explained the whole story to him, and Jiang Feng suddenly understood.

It turned out that Liu Ruyan was a complete academic Daji.

After breaking up with Jiang Feng, she quickly hooked up with her thesis advisor, relying on her seemingly pure and innocent appearance.

This advisor was an associate professor at the school. Relying on this connection, she easily published two SCI papers that year.

Subsequently, she took the postgraduate entrance exam, barely reaching Jinan University’s admission line.

But with two SCI papers as a foundation, she successfully passed the interview and chose a highly respected professor as her advisor.

During her master’s and doctoral studies, she repeated her old tricks, relying on those unspeakable relationships with her advisors, and actually published over twenty SCI papers.

Over the next ten years or so, Liu Ruyan relied on her physical advantages to rise steadily, eventually becoming an associate professor at a private second-tier university!

It wasn’t until a wronged spouse, unable to bear it any longer, reported her actions that her scandalous affairs were exposed.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng sneered. What a slut. How could he have been so infatuated back then?

Jiang Feng knew that to get his hard-earned money back, he had to find evidence of Liu Ruyan hooking up with her thesis advisors.

“Professional matters must be handled by professionals. Tomorrow, I’ll contact a private detective to find evidence.”

Fortunately, he completed two tasks today and received 3000 yuan, which should be enough.

Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, a knock on the door suddenly interrupted Jiang Feng’s train of thought.

“Xiao Feng, are… are you asleep?”

Zheng Yiyun’s gentle voice, like flowing water, came from outside the door.
