Back to 1984: Let's Work Hard Together to Raise The Kids!-Chapter 177: Bai Junjun’s Partner

Bai Linlin’s eyes lit up and she immediately forgot about being jealous, "What’s the situation? Is it Xu Jian and Xu Kang? Are they adding classes?"

Lin Qin nodded, "I’ve discussed it with my sister and brother-in-law, after school starts one will learn saxophone and the other calligraphy, I’m counting on you!"

Bai Linlin couldn’t stop smiling, "Of course, of course, you’re my big patron now, your kids are walking advertisements for me, I’ll definitely teach them well, guarantee you’ll be satisfied."

The two women exchanged a smile.

Bai Linlin offered, "So, it’s New Year’s, don’t run around everywhere, I’ll call Junjun and have her come over, it’s better to hang out at my place than at my second uncle’s, there are only elders there."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qin immediately sat down obediently, waiting for Bai Linlin to make the call.

By the time Bai Junjun arrived, Lin Qin and Bai Linlin had chatted a bit more.

Hearing the sound, the two women got up and walked to the door simultaneously, just in time to see Bai Junjun and Gao Lei coming in.

"What’s going on here?" Lin Qin was shocked, covering her mouth.

Gao Lei was pleasantly surprised, "Sister-in-law! You’re Junjun’s roommate? Hahahaha... we’re really meant to be! Looks like Junjun and I are destined to be together!"

"What destined to be together! We have nothing between us, stop talking nonsense!" Bai Junjun’s face turned red, looking embarrassed.

Gao Lei was shameless, pointing to Lin Qin, "Look, my sister-in-law is your roommate, isn’t that fate?"

Bai Junjun looked at Lin Qin suspiciously and clung to Lin Qin’s arm, "Sister Qin, what’s this clingy meddler got to do with you?"

"I..." Lin Qin opened her mouth, her mind racing to think of how to respond.

Gao Lei squeezed in to take over the conversation, "My sister-in-law and brother-in-law are my lifesavers, if not for them, I’d be long gone. I have to recognize them as big brother and sister-in-law for life!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Bai Junjun and Bai Linlin were unclear about the situation, although they didn’t know exactly what had happened, they were sure there was indeed some connection between Lin Qin and Gao Lei.

Because of Lin Qin, Bai Junjun showed a slightly friendlier face to Gao Lei, but this was limited to not driving him away, her resistance to him was still quite evident.

Luckily, Gao Lei was perceptive, knowing that Bai Junjun came to hang out with Lin Qin, he was at ease, said a few cheeky words, and left. Before leaving, he repeatedly instructed Bai Junjun, "I’ll be in the car, when you’re ready to go back, I’ll take you, you guys chat at your leisure."

"Who needs you to take me!" Bai Junjun gritted her teeth and stomped her foot, sitting down on the sofa in frustration.

Bai Linlin brewed her a cup of coffee, teasing, "Is this the match my dad set up for you?"

Bai Junjun let out a long wail, "It’s all my uncle and dad’s fault! If they didn’t trick me into attending the banquet, I wouldn’t have been entangled by this libertine!"

"What libertine! He’s the darling of the Gao family!" Bai Linlin gave her a sideways glance.

Bai Junjun snorted, turning her head away, "I’ve seen many of these playboy heirs, just looking for a bit of excitement, being caught by him is my bad luck!"

Lin Qin hadn’t intended to comment at first, but hearing this, she couldn’t help but speak up, "Junjun, actually Gao Lei isn’t as bad as you say, have you really gotten to know him?"

Bai Junjun shook her head honestly, "I’m not familiar with him, but the circle is so small, you hear some rumors, it’s said he doesn’t like studying, entered society early, initially causing trouble with a group of thugs, nothing decent at all.

He’s been to the police station several times, if not for having a good brother-in-law, he’d probably have a record by now. Such a hooligan can’t be a good person!"

Lin Qin held her forehead, secretly cursing Gao Lei for how rotten he used to be, his reputation worse than a stinky ditch! How was she supposed to help him clean up?

"Ha... haha... Actually Junjun, Gao Lei did do quite a few bad things before, but he has had a change of heart, right? Just now Gao Lei mentioned my husband and I saved him! That’s true..."

Lin Qin carefully recounted how Chen Wenjun saved Gao Lei.

The Bai sisters were slacked-jawed, their expressions tense.

"And then? What happened after Gao Lei was rescued?" Bai Junjun excitedly held onto Lin Qin, wanting to hear the follow-up.

Lin Qin was amused, "Afterward he learned his lesson, reflected deeply, didn’t do those dangerous things anymore, instead bought our family’s fishing boat, converted it into a cargo ship, and began doing business wholesale in Guangdong Province, mainly dealing with electronic products, now also involved in the clothing industry, Zhang Hong and the others get their clothes from Gao Lei.

It’s just you don’t do business together so you’re not familiar, but Gao Lei has changed a lot over the years, the car he drives now, the valuable things he wears, he bought them himself with the money he earned, didn’t spend a penny of the family’s money."

"So impressive!" Bai Junjun was incredulous, her eyes widening.

Bai Linlin nodded thoughtfully, "If that’s the case, this person is worth a try, the key is he seems quite attentive to our Junjun."

Bai Junjun’s face flushed, feigning anger, "Sis! Do you want me to call my brother-in-law overseas and tell on you?"

Bai Linlin’s partner is a young diplomat, not in the country, she originally wanted to go over but since her partner is coming back soon, she hasn’t moved.

"Alright, I won’t tease you anymore, if you get pushed to the brink you might bite me!"

"Do you think I’m a dog!"

...

The two sisters started bickering again.

Lin Qin found it amusing, waited until they were done before bringing up the real business with Bai Junjun.

Bai Junjun was straightforward, opened her bag, and took out a bag of money and an account book, "This account book is the one you used before, how many students the institution has, when they came, what classes they took, everything is recorded clearly, the money is here, check it, I plan to resume classes after the Lantern Festival, we need to discuss new enrollment."

That’s another reason Bai Junjun came over today.

Lin Qin cleared the account in front of them, counted the money, confirmed there was no issue, wrote down the cleared account in the book, and signed her name.

Afterward, the three discussed the new enrollment plan for the year, debating until dusk.

Since it wasn’t safe for Lin Qin to carry so much money home alone.

Gao Lei offered to take her back.

Bai Junjun had never been to Lin Qin’s place and was eager.

Lin Qin laughed and said, "Let’s go! It’s a perfect time to visit my home, since it’s winter break we’re leisurely."

The three of them got into the car.

The engine roared, soon Gao Lei had driven them to Nanxi.

The boat owner wasn’t resting yet, they could catch a ride.

Bai Junjun had never been on this kind of boat before, it felt novel, "Sister Qin, do you have to take a boat home every day?"

Lin Qin nodded naturally, "My house is on the island, how else would I get home if I don’t take a boat?"

"So exciting! Now I can’t wait to see your house!" Bai Junjun couldn’t sit still on the boat, wiggling like she was on pins.

Soon, the fishing boat docked at the mouth of Nanyu.

Lin Qin called out, and Lin Yi came to open the door.
