The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 823 - 325: The Phoenix Man’s Rebirth (Part 9)_2

To put it bluntly, when he graduates from university and needs to be assigned a job, at least he can find some connections.

Not to mention, his reputation is really good right now, and many teachers and classmates praise him highly.

These factors might not directly influence job placement, but they certainly add extra points.

In the worst-case scenario, even if the job assignment is unsatisfactory, he has many skills like translation, so his future won’t be too bleak.

He Jingtian is not a "native" of this era; he’s a reincarnator.

He knows that the so-called iron rice bowl will be broken in a few years.

He has so many skills and foreknowledge of future trends, he definitely won’t be like his "past life," where he was so worried about job assignments that he gambled his own marriage.

He doesn’t need to worry too much about his career, and his real mother’s mental illness is improving day by day, so all the contradictions, entanglements, anxiety, and confusion in He Jingtian’s heart have vanished.

He becomes more confident, not the kind that is deliberately disguised, but the kind that radiates from his bones!

"I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid, as long as Xiao Tian is here, I’m not afraid!"

Mrs. He tightly holds her son’s arm, still trembling a little, but much better than before.

At least her expression looks much more normal, and if you don’t look closely, you wouldn’t notice anything unusual about her.

The mother and son take the bus, arriving at the most bustling shopping district of the Provincial City in the bright sunlight.

Here, there’s a department store, an overseas Chinese shop, and the People’s Mall, and coincidentally it’s the weekend, so it’s very lively with people coming and going.

Suddenly seeing so many people, Mrs. He instinctively clutches He Jingtian’s arm tighter.

He Jingtian doesn’t mind but patiently reassures his real mother, "Mom, don’t be afraid, look, they are all here to shop just like us."

"...No, I’m not afraid!" Mrs. He lowers her head, her voice trembling, and a fine layer of cold sweat forms on her forehead, but she manages to stabilize herself without panicking or dodging.

In the past ten days, she has been taking her medication, and the surrounding environment is simple and safe.

With no scolding, no kicks and punches, Mrs. He’s mind and body are in a safe and harmonious atmosphere.

Moreover, Mrs. He vaguely realizes that no matter how she is, she won’t be beaten or scolded.

The fear and rejection rooted in her heart are slowly fading away.

Mrs. He begins to slowly regain her original self.

Suddenly coming to the crowded commercial area, encouraged by her son, Mrs. He slowly raises her head and straightens her back.

Not afraid!

Her son said there’s no need to fear!

No one will bully her, and no one will beat, scold, or abuse her anymore.

So, Mrs. He no longer cowers or dodges, she acts more like a normal person.

He Jingtian strolls through the department store with his real mother, arm in arm, amidst the dazzling array of goods.

He buys two sets of clothes for his real mother, and at her insistence, also gets himself a set of clothes and a pair of leather shoes.

Items like yarn and knitting needles are, of course, indispensable.

By noon, He Jingtian pulls his real mother to a nearby small restaurant for lunch.

Mrs. He becomes more relaxed, and seeing the crowds coming and going around them, she is no longer as scared and timid as she initially was.

Everything is moving in a better direction.

He Jingtian is secretly delighted and treats his real mother with more warmth and filial piety.

"Huh? Is that He Jingtian?!"

"I heard he brought his real mother to the Provincial City and even rented a house!"

"Yes, it’s Professor Seo’s house from the Chemistry Department, specially arranged by the school to take care of him."

"I heard his mom isn’t quite normal!"

By coincidence, Angel and a few dormmates are also shopping nearby.

The girls pass by a small restaurant and happen to see the warm mother and son through the window.

Except for Angel, the other girls are whispering.

Angel, however, has a complex expression.

In fact, these days, Angel has been struggling.

She very much wants to rush up to He Jingtian to ask him what he means by all of this.

Before He Jingtian returned home, he was all kinds of attentive to her, anyone could see that he was pursuing Angel.

Yet, in just half a month, He Jingtian seemed to have become a different person.

After returning from home, he didn’t come to find her, and even when they met in class, he pretended not to see her and turned away.

Initially, Angel speculated: "Maybe, Jingtian doesn’t know how to explain his real mother’s situation to me?"

After all, during their previous "imaginations of the future," He Jingtian’s many plans didn’t include his parents from his hometown.
