The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 815 - 322: The Phoenix Man’s Rebirth (Part 6)_3

Thus, He Jingtian collected a bunch of contact information again.

Ding!

He Jingtian seemed to have unlocked some kind of wealth code!

As a poor boy from a remote mountain village, what he most lacked to establish himself in the Provincial City was connections and contacts.

And starting from the Wei County Railway Station, in less than a day, He Jingtian’s notebook recorded more than a dozen phone numbers.

Perhaps these people were merely kind strangers, or even people just joining in the fun.

Later, they may not necessarily be able to help He Jingtian greatly.

But, having a contact means He Jingtian has the opportunity for networking.

Moreover—

He Jingtian found that the reputation of being a "filial son" was incredibly useful.

Why was he rejected by people in his previous life, scorned by the world?

Wasn’t it because he had a bad reputation, becoming a phoenix man despised by everyone, a white-eyed wolf?

Look at the enthusiastic expressions of these grandpas and grandmas around him, they’re all strangers, yet they gave him the greatest kindness.

He Jingtian eagerly imagined how much praise and benefit he would receive from being a "filial son" once he returned to school, to the familiar environment and social relationships!

After all, in people’s traditional concepts, a filial son has guaranteed character.

Especially someone like He Jingtian, who doesn’t abandon his mad and foolish real mother, it is all the more rare.

For a moment, the feeling of being "forced" in He Jingtian’s heart disappeared, replaced by a sense of pride and anticipation.

"Thank you! Thank you to all the grandpas and grandmas, you are all good people!"

He Jingtian repeatedly expressed his thanks, and then under everyone’s gaze, he left the small restaurant with his real mother.

He boarded the bus and went all the way to S University.

He Jingtian checked the time, finding it was already ten o’clock in the morning, and the counselor should be at school at this time.

Without delay, He Jingtian directly carried his luggage and led his real mother to find the class counselor’s office.

"...Teacher, that’s how it is, I have no other choice but to bring my mother to the Provincial City!"

"I, I want to rent a house near the school, so I won’t live in the dormitory, to look after my mom outside!"

He Jingtian slowly explained everything about his father’s unexpected death and his mother’s inability to take care of herself due to her mental state.

Finally, he sincerely pleaded, "I know this violates the school’s accommodation policies, but—"

After listening to He Jingtian’s account and looking at Mrs. He who had been standing behind him all along, the counselor couldn’t help but sigh after being astonished.

Alas, knowing He Jingtian’s family situation was not good, but she never expected that this handsome and academically outstanding young man would be in such difficulty.

"Alright, I will report your situation to the school. By the way, have you found a suitable house?"

He Jingtian shook his head, "I just returned today and haven’t gone out to look yet."

In these times, there were not yet real estate agencies everywhere; renting or buying a house was mostly through introduction by acquaintances or posting a notice outside one’s home.

There are quite a few houses around S University, but most are for private use, with few for rent or sale.

"How about this, I’ll help you ask around. You should first settle your mother in a nearby guesthouse."

The counselor helpfully offered to assist.

He Jingtian nodded, as he was also planning to do just that.

If it were his real father, he could still take him to the dormitory first.

Or if his real mother were more normal, he could consult with female classmates to take her to the girls’ dormitory.

Unfortunately, his real mother’s situation was special, she couldn’t interact with strangers at all.

So, before renting a house, staying at a guesthouse first would be best.

After explaining the situation to the counselor, He Jingtian took his real mother to a guesthouse near the school.

He rented a room and temporarily placed his luggage, and asked a female staff member at the guesthouse to help his real mother take a bath and change into clean clothes.

After all the tidying up, it was already noon.

He Jingtian then took his real mother to the school cafeteria for lunch.

On the way, many students cast curious glances, including some female classmates from He Jingtian’s class.

"Huh? Isn’t that He Jingtian, who’s the woman beside him?"

"Maybe it’s his mom, she looks a lot like He Jingtian."

"...Angel, do you know anything about this?"

"I don’t know, I just heard something unfortunate happened to He Jingtian’s family, he hurried back to handle the funeral!"

A few girls hid in the corner, whispering.

Leading them was a pretty, fair-skinned girl dressed in trendy clothes, none other than Su Anqi, He Jingtian’s wife from his previous life, the poor woman who ended up betrayed!

She looked at the male-female pair appearing to be mother and son eating in the distance, feeling something she couldn’t quite describe.

As if something was leaving her, and her destiny seemed to have changed...
