Mother Li was used to seeing little punks and gangsters like her son. This was the first time she had ever been so close to an elegant and bookish student like Lin Qian. So after hearing Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing's words, she became a little embarrassed. Her voice quickly changed into a softer tone, and she said: "Yes, this Auntie got a little too excited. Students shouldn't hear such vulgar words."

Li Gao looked at his mother with wide eyes. Mom??? You've never spoken to me like that!

Lin Qian looked at Li Gao and his mother, then asked: "What's going on?"

At the mention of this, Mother Li's face screwed up. She pinched Li Gao's ear and dragged him to the front. She said: "This stinky boy went home trying to cheat money off of me. He's saying he needs to buy some reference books and asks for a thousand yuan. It's obvious he just wants to take his silly punk friends to the Internet cafe again..."

Lin Qian: "???"

Lin Qian thought it was a bit strange, but didn't immediately deny her claims. Instead, he turned to Li Gao and asked: "Show me your list of textbooks."

Li Gao took out a crumpled ball of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lin Qian.

Lin Qian uncrumpled the paper and read its contents. He then turned towards Mother Li and smiled. "Auntie, this list really does have the textbooks I use listed on it. If you buy everything, it would probably amount to around a thousand yuan."

Zheng PingQing then meaningfully smiled said: "But, if someone sponsors, then you can save. A lot."

Mother Li couldn't believe it. She gasped: "What! A few reference books can be that expensive? What a rip-off!"

Lin Qian: "...."

Mother Li realized her outburst and turned red. She patted her mouth with her fingers. "Auntie was vulgar again, sorry."

Li Gao: "..." Who exactly is your child here?

Lin Qian didn't say anything. He simply smiled and said: "Auntie, knowledge is priceless."

"That's right, that's right." Mother Li nodded. She then twisted Li Gao's ear. "If this brat really intended to buy those books, I would agree wholeheartedly. But this stupid boy has lied to me plenty of times already. Guo DangLi and his gang of pigs and dogs will definitely run to the Internet cafe with the money..."

Li Gao wanted to give up life. He angrily said: "I didn't cheat you this time."

But Mother Li obviously didn't believe him one bit. "You think I'll believe you just because you have the right book list? Why don't you take a look at him, then take a look at yourself."

Lin Qian quickly came to the rescue. "Auntie, you don't..."

On the side, Zheng PingQing added: "After all, it's probably biological."

Lin Qian elbowed Zheng PingQing on his side.

Mother Li thought about Zheng PingQing words. He was right. So she turned around and pointed at Zheng PingQing instead. "Look at his friends, then take a look at your friends."

Zheng PingQing couldn't help but smile.

Xu Yao, who was watching from the sidelines, thought: Auntie, wake up. That's no ordinary friend, but an evil boyfriend.

While Mother Li was opening fire at Li Gao's friends, someone suddenly shouted: "Li Gao, what are you doing here? Have you bought the reference books yet?"

Mother Li turned around and saw Guo DangLi and his little brothers approaching. As always, they were dressed slovenly and were swaggering. Just the sight of them would've made any parent feel tired. Sure enough, Mother Li's lip quivered. If not for Lin Qian, she would've already let her harsh mouth loose.
