Transmigrating Into a Book, the Villain Becomes the White Moonlight!

3: Chapter 3 So this is the female lead!Shang Hui picked up a piece of fish for Lin Wan and asked with concern, ”You’ve just arrived in A City and are settling in, with a thousand things to do. What about Wanwan’s schooling? Is everything arranged?”

”Don’t worry, Sister-in-law, the school has been contacted,” Uncle Lin said with a smile, announcing the school’s name. ”It’s that famous international university in this city.”

”Oh, what a coincidence!” Shang Hui’s eyes lit up, and she glanced at her husband, Su Zheng, with a hint of pride. ”Our family sponsors that school, and I’m familiar with the board members. If Wanwan ever needs anything at school, just tell me directly, don’t be shy.”

Her words were overtly helpful, but covertly, she was hinting at Su Zheng—look at their approach to education.

In her and Su Zheng’s philosophy, a true business empire isn’t built by burying oneself in books, but by having enough room for error and a network of resources.

The Su Family has a solid foundation; they can afford to lose.

The knowledge in schools, knowing how to apply it is icing on the cake; if one only memorizes it, it’s actually inferior.

Su Zheng felt a bit uncomfortable under his wife’s gaze, coughed lightly, and took the opportunity to speak, ”Indeed, this school is quite good. I’ve also been considering recently whether to let Su Bai change environments, find a… hmm… a more ordinary school. The child is still young; the main goal at this stage is to broaden his horizons and cultivate his character. As for knowledge, enough is enough; the most important thing is his own inclination.”

These words resonated deeply with Uncle Lin, who immediately agreed, ”Old Su, your thinking is spot on! You two are in your prime; steering the ship for another thirty or forty years won’t be a problem. Why force the child so hard now? Teaching him gradually through practice later is much better than force-feeding him from books.”

”Exactly!” Shang Hui immediately found an ally. ”A general understanding of theories is enough; the most crucial thing is to be able to judge people and utilize them effectively in the future.”

The conversation at the dinner table naturally shifted from business affairs to the education of the next generation.

Su Bai ate with his head down the entire time, as if the adults’ discussion had nothing to do with him.

However, Lin Wan, sitting opposite him, though also quiet, occasionally glanced at Su Bai.

Although this girl was young, roughly eighteen or nineteen (1), she had already grown into a graceful young woman.

She possessed a unique aura, and Su Bai silently labeled her with three words in his mind: ”Little Aloof.”

On her still-childish face, the prototype of a cool and detached demeanor could already be discerned.

Uncle Lin looked at the two youngsters sitting side-by-side, his smile deepening, and said earnestly, ”I think, why not just let Su Bai and Wanwan go to the same school! Let the two children get familiar with each other early and cultivate their feelings. When they graduate from university and get married, with the young couple working together, won’t their careers surely flourish?”

”Pfft—cough cough!” A piece of meat Su Bai had just put in his mouth almost choked him.

He suddenly looked up, and his mind instantly cleared!

He knew something felt off; turns out the foreshadowing was buried here!

Transmigration, male-oriented novel, rich second-generation Villain, a fiancée who appears out of nowhere… The identity of this girl before him was obvious—she was most likely the female protagonist from the original novel!

”Alright! I think this is an excellent idea!” Shang Hui immediately approved, beaming with joy.

Su Bai quickly scanned the room, noticing that all four parents present, including his own father, Su Zheng, wore smiles of approval.

Even Lin Wan merely blushed slightly, lowering her head to fiddle with the corner of her clothes, clearly not surprised by the suggestion, and perhaps even aware of it beforehand.

No wonder this girl kept stealing glances at me earlier and barely ate anything; turns out she came with a mission!

”I’m not going.” Su Bai put down his chopsticks, and the atmosphere at the dinner table visibly froze.

Shang Hui turned her head, looking at her son in confusion. ”What’s wrong? You won’t have to work hard to learn so many things at this school, so why are you still unwilling? Is it… shyness?”

She tried to give her son an out.

”I’ve made plans with friends to go to another school.” Su Bai lied without batting an eyelid.

Friends?

Shang Hui’s heart sank.

She knew her son too well.

From childhood, Su Bai never had a single close friend, let alone a peer he could talk to for more than a few words.

At first, she thought it was the school environment, but later she deliberately arranged for children of many business partners to interact with him, yet Su Bai still couldn’t get along with them.

Where did he get these ’friends’ he’d made plans with?

”What friends?” Shang Hui pressed on.

”Just… ordinary friends.” Su Bai answered vaguely.

”Male or female?”

”Male.”

”That’s even simpler then!” Shang Hui clapped her hands, her tone light. ”Just invite him to come along, wouldn’t that work? Mom will cover all his expenses!”

She responded smoothly, almost without thinking.

”Hahahahaha!”

Lin Guohua laughed heartily at her words, and the atmosphere at the dinner table, which had just frozen due to Su Bai’s refusal, instantly warmed up.

”These young people nowadays, they all value brotherhood, I understand, I understand!” He smiled at Su Bai, his posture very low, his words full of accommodation. ”It’s alright, Xiaobai, don’t feel pressured. Which school do you want to go to? At worst, I’ll just have Wanwan transfer to follow you, it’s all the same!”

Su Bai felt a headache coming on. All the other excuses he had prepared were completely blocked in his chest by Uncle Lin’s tactical retreat, his almost humble attitude, and he couldn’t utter a single word.

Avoid?

It wasn’t that he was afraid, purely that he found it troublesome.

A character marked as the female protagonist appearing nearby often meant trouble.

He just wanted to know when the original plot would officially begin.

Once that Protagonist, like a child of destiny, appeared, it probably meant the end of his good days as a rich second-generation Villain.

When that day truly came… he’d just have to see which road had more trucks before making a decision.

”...Fine.” Su Bai stopped arguing, lowered his head again, and focused on his bowl of rice.

A meal filled with hidden agendas finally ended quickly in superficial harmony.

Lin Family’s temporary residence.

On the way home, the smiles on the Lin Couple’s faces faded.

As soon as they arrived home, Wang Xiu’s expression visibly darkened.

Lin Wan quietly went to wash up, while the couple wearily sank into the living room sofa, the air thick with the stagnant feeling of a plan not fully achieved.

”Old Lin, about today’s matter… did it succeed?” Wang Xiu sat opposite her husband, her tone uncertain.

”More or less,” Lin Guohua pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice filled with exhaustion. ”From the moment we walked in, Su Zheng and Shang Hui were playing tai chi, never addressing the core issue. Who doesn’t know the Su Family’s influence in A City? If we want to establish ourselves in A City, not clinging to the Su Family’s towering tree is as hard as ascending to heaven!”

Wang Xiu seemed to half-understand. ”But I think young Su Bai is quite good, quiet and refined. He… he didn’t explicitly object to the marriage later, either.”

Lin Guohua took out his phone and quickly dialed a string of numbers: 81425. This number was very important.
