Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 212 - 155: Director Lin, Your Son-in-Law Won an Award
It’s just past six in the morning.
The morning rush hour hasn’t started yet, so there aren’t many cars on the road. What usually takes about an hour, Lin Moxuan made in just 40 minutes.
He parked the car under the faculty dorms.
Lin Moxuan stormed upstairs angrily, but on the way, he had managed to calm down with Chen Qingzhu’s persuasion.
Now, Director Lin’s anger had subsided a bit compared to when he’d heard Shen Qiushan’s voice on the phone.
"Explain!"
"What happened!"
Upon entering the dorm, Lin Moxuan sat on the sofa with a stern face, casting a scrutinizing gaze at Shen Qiushan and his own daughter.
Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo stood obediently opposite Lin Moxuan, like two children who had done something wrong.
"Last night’s birthday party, I drank too much."
"My brother-in-law brought me back. He was worried something might happen to me, so he didn’t leave."
"But he also drank too much and fell asleep unknowingly."
"Then, this morning, you called..."
Lin Xiamo briefly recounted the series of events.
In fact, before Lin Moxuan arrived, she and Shen Qiushan had already gone over their "testimony," agreeing that if anyone asked about last night’s events, they would have a consistent story.
"That’s all?"
Lin Moxuan glared at Shen Qiushan, "You say!"
"Dad, it’s just like Momo said."
"Last night she got sick, and I was worried she’d be too deep in sleep and something might happen if she threw up again, so I stayed."
"But I fell asleep without realizing, didn’t even take off my clothes!"
Shen Qiushan said seriously.
"Really didn’t take them off?"
Lin Moxuan questioned with a stern face.
"Really didn’t!"
Shen Qiushan affirmed with certainty, making no mention of his semi-conscious state or how he’d wandered around with wandering hands.
"See, I told you!"
"Qiushan is a sensible kid. What could possibly happen between him and Momo."
Chen Qingzhu chimed in to support, naturally not wanting the father-in-law-son-in-law relationship, which had only recently improved, to hit rock bottom again.
Lin Moxuan remained silent, just frowning as he silently observed the two.
Having spent a lifetime in the bureaucracy, he possessed an excellent ability to judge people. Who’s telling the truth, and who’s lying -- they can hardly escape his "clairvoyant eyes"!
But using those eyes on his own family is bound to be less effective, as subjective emotions inevitably come into play.
He had zero trust in Shen Qiushan, who had once "abducted" one of his daughters.
How could Shen Qiushan not be moved by his daughter’s beauty and figure?
"You go to class first!"
After a long silence, Lin Moxuan decided to send Shen Qiushan away first so he could question his own daughter alone.
"Okay, okay, I’ll head out then."
"Today is the first day of formal classes after enrollment!"
Shen Qiushan nodded repeatedly, eager to escape the oppressive atmosphere.
"Mom, you haven’t had breakfast yet, right? You can go to the cafeteria later for breakfast. The school’s breakfast is quite healthy."
Before leaving, Shen Qiushan said this to Chen Qingzhu.
This mother-in-law clearly favored him more and did not "turn face" like Lin Moxuan because of this little incident!
He should try to gather as much support as he can. With more "allies," he won’t have to fear the "dark force" that is Lin Moxuan.
And in the Lin Family, Shen Qiushan’s strategy is actually already quite successful.
Currently, sister-in-law Lin Jiayu might as well be considered an ally, and mother-in-law Chen Qingzhu could barely count as half an ally.
Lin Xiamo is his firm "ally"!
Leaving just Lin Moxuan as the sole "hostile force."
In other words, right now, the balance is 2.5 to 1.5!
Seeing that Shen Qiushan still cared about whether they’d eaten breakfast, Chen Qingzhu naturally felt touched. She smiled and nodded, not forgetting to glare at Lin Moxuan, as if saying: Look at Qiushan, then look at you!
Lin Moxuan pretended not to see anything, pondering silently how to start the "interrogation" of his daughter later.
"Dad, I forgot to give you something."
Just after Shen Qiushan left the room, he reopened the door slightly and poked his head in to say.
Originally, Lin Moxuan couldn’t be bothered with him, but having spent his whole life in the system, he instantly realized the importance of the matter.
Shen Qiushan mentioned having something to give him after they were outside, not in front of his wife and daughter, which was obviously something he didn’t want them to know.
And the only secret between a father-in-law and son-in-law could only be one thing!
After a brief hesitation, Lin Moxuan stood up from the sofa, walking to the door while feigning anger: "Let’s see what tricks you’re up to this time!"
As he spoke, Lin Moxuan stepped out into the hallway.
Without saying much, Shen Qiushan directly handed four "Little Blue Bottles" to Lin Moxuan, whispering, "Dad, nothing happened between me and Momo."
Lin Moxuan let out a cold huff, slipped the bottles into his pants pocket.
"Dad, believe me!"
Shen Qiushan magicked out another four Little Blue Bottles and handed them to Lin Moxuan.
"Hmm, got it!"
Lin Moxuan nodded slightly, his expression finally easing a bit.
What could be said about this son-in-law...
He was quite considerate at least, knowing to offer good things to him!
Having taken a benefit, over half of Lin Moxuan’s anger faded, but he still intended to go through with the interrogation.
Returning to the room, he put on a stern face again: "Momo, what really happened last night with Qiushan?"
"Didn’t I just explain it?"
"There’s no reason to lie about this kind of thing!"
Lin Xiamo replied lightly.
"It’s not about last night I’m asking about."
