Suppressing the Protagonist at the Start to Seize the Heroine-Chapter 12 - A Grand Strategy?

Chapter 12 : A Grand Strategy?

After more than ten minutes, Lin Xiaowan finally explained the details of the 200,000 yuan, including the agreement with Su Lin.

“That’s the situation, Mom. We agreed not to tell anyone.”

After listening, Wang Xiaoqian was somewhat surprised. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy could think so thoroughly. Donating 200,000 doesn’t mean much; many big shots in Zhongjiang City donate money every year.

However, donating money without seeking fame and considering the other party completely is either an act of great kindness or great evil.

“Xiaowan, is the Su Lin you’re talking about Su Zhenguo’s son?”

Lin Xiaowan nodded, “Yes, we even had a meal together before. Mom, you haven’t forgotten right?”

“How could I forget? I remember that boy staring at you all the time.”

Lin Xiaowan blushed instantly, “Mom, what are you saying!”

Seeing her daughter’s reaction, Wang Xiaoqian understood. Her daughter’s heart was beginning to flutter. “Xiaowan, what’s your opinion of Su Lin?”

Lin Xiaowan didn’t know that Wang Xiaoqian was now trying to gather more information about Su Lin. After thinking for a while, she frowned, “I don’t know how to describe Su Lin. He has changed a lot, and I feel my previous impressions of him were completely wrong.”

“Oh? What did you think of him before?”

“To sum it up, he treated everyone equally in front but strictly observed class hierarchy behind. He never treated students from families with average conditions politely, never looked at them directly, spoke with an air of superiority, and never paid attention to most classmates. He used to be arrogant and condescending.”

“And now?”

“Now I can’t say for sure.”

“Tell me more. Let Mom analyze it for you.”

Lin Xiaowan was unguarded and began to talk about what Su Lin had said to her today.

“…”

“Mom, do you think Su Lin is pitiful? He has contributed so much, but no one recognizes it. Many people laughed at him today, but he remained unaffected. You don’t know how nasty those people were talking about him. I don’t know how Su Lin has managed to get through these two years.”

Wang Xiaoqian glanced at Lin Xiaowan, “But now you can come forward to speak up for him.”

“It’s useless if I’m the only one speaking up for him.”

‘Just you alone is enough. He doesn’t care about others opinions at all; he only cares about yours.’ Wang Xiaoqian didn’t say these words out loud, instead she kept them in her heart.

Suddenly, Wang Xiaoqian felt that she had protected Lin Xiaowan too well over the years. As an experienced person, she could tell that Su Lin was now initiating the pursuit of Lin Xiaowan. First, he changed her daughter’s impression of him by donating money, then he revealed past events to gain Lin Xiaowan’s sympathy, plus that agreement binding the two…

‘Sigh, This guy is playing a big game.’ Looking at her daughter’s sympathetic expression, Wang Xiaoqian wished she could reveal Su Lin’s true face to her. But she knew that saying such things would only mess things up.

Although Wang Xiaoqian felt she might be overthinking Su Lin, considering his actions today, this guy couldn’t be viewed as an ordinary high school student.

Watching her naive daughter, Wang Xiaoqian sighed inwardly, ‘Fortunately, Su Lin’s feelings for Xiaowan are genuine. Otherwise, this girl wouldn’t even know if she’s being taken advantage of.”

Another scene flashed in her mind, the dinner she had with Su Lin and Su Zhenguo. She was sure that Su Lin’s feelings for Lin Xiaowan were sincere.

“Mom, do you think there’s any way I can help Su Lin?”

Wang Xiaoqian touched Lin Xiaowan’s head and said, “Help? How can you help? By telling the truth? Unless you want to make it difficult for Xia Shiyu, otherwise, the rumors will drown the three of you.”

“Find another way; I don’t think Su Lin would necessarily appreciate that.”

“Ah~!”

“Xiaowan, don’t get involved in this matter. The college entrance exam is approaching, and I believe Su Lin also doesn’t want too much attention.”

“Well… alright.”

“Okay, focus on your homework. Mom won’t disturb you anymore.”

“Okay…”

Lin Xiaowan quickly got up and closed the door, making sure to lock it. Hearing the locking sound, Wang Xiaoqian was momentarily stunned, then wore a worried expression. Su Lin’s schemes were too deep; one plot after another. Her daughter was completely outmatched.

She needed to think of a way; otherwise, her daughter might fall into this trap sooner or later.

“Su Lin, I’m sorry.”

“Hmm?”

“What happened, Xiaowan?”

“Just now, Teacher Wang called home to thank us for donating so much money, and my mom came looking for me. I told her about your donation.”

After sending the message, Lin Xiaowan covered her eyes, not daring to look at the screen. After all, she had promised Su Lin not to tell her parents, but as soon as she got home, she spilled the beans.

“Hehe, if it’s said, let it be. Such a big matter, not talking about it with your parents wouldn’t be appropriate.”

“Ah… but this way, Teacher Wang might find out too.”

“Don’t worry; even if Teacher Wang knows, he will definitely keep it confidential. But I never thought about keeping Uncle and Aunt in the dark from the beginning. If they don’t understand the situation, they won’t sleep well at night with such a big thing.”

At this moment, in Jiangning Huating Villa District, Su Lin’s mouth was filled with a smile.

Before letting Lin Xiaowan donate money, he had already considered various situations that might arise. As for Lin Xiaowan’s parents, he had considered them first and foremost.

To make people respect you, you need to make them acknowledge your abilities.

Although Su Lin’s family conditions were not bad, compared to Lin Xiaowan, there was still a considerable gap. What he needed to do now was to become familiar with them, showcase his abilities in front of Lin Guoqiang, and let him realize that Su Lin isn’t just an ordinary high school student.

Once he demonstrated enough, Lin Guoqiang would find Su Lin quite impressive. Then the resistance to Su Lin being with Lin Xiaowan would be much lighter.

In the original novel, Su Lin didn’t manage to completely win Lin Xiaowan even after more than a thousand chapters. There were various reasons, but a significant one was the resistance from Lin’s family.

Especially Lin Guoqiang, who was a typical doting father. Gaining his approval was extremely challenging.

Su Lin didn’t care about these things; in the original novel, this guy played it poorly. More than a thousand chapters and was still not able to win over Lin Xiaowan? It was mostly due to the author’s problem.

But Su Lin wouldn’t make such a mistake. After all, he was a villain, and villains didn’t have so many taboos. He acts when it was time to act and wouldn’t hesitate when it was time to take action. No dilly-dallying overnight doing nothing; the previous Su Lin wasn’t capable of such things.
