Conquered Chapter 17.1-17.3 (Final Part 1)
🕑 Added 2025-11-11 11:33:44 +0000 UTCWhen I got home, my mother hugged me, her eyes filled with tears. My mother recounted everything that had happened recently: the divorce from my dad, replacing things in the house, and how worried she had been about me, and so on.
Of course, she didn't mention a word about Chen Le.
Day after day passed. During my time at home, Chen Le was relatively quiet and didn't come to my house. Then, one day, Teacher Qin suddenly invited my mom and me to her place for dinner. To be honest, I really didn't want to go. After all these years, Teacher Qin had basically been freeloading meals at our house, and her cooking skills were leagues worse than my mom's.

"Just what? I heard you two friends had a falling out. As your teacher, I'm here to mediate. Come on, come in, don't just stand there like a fool."
After Teacher Qin finished, I had no choice. My mom was already inside, so I could only follow. Chen Li tried to greet me, but I didn't even look at him.
I walked straight into Xinran's room. I saw her sitting at her desk, diligently reviewing her studies. Xinran, you're all I have now.
"Lin Wen? You're out."
"Mm-hmm."
I scratched my head and responded awkwardly.
"What's wrong?" Xinran asked, looking puzzled.
"The way you said that, it makes me sound like I just got out of prison."
"Pfft." Xinran covered her mouth and let out a soft laugh.

This is just a preview.
