Born-Again Mom, Seating Plan with Villainous Son

Shen Linyue accidentally finds herself transported twenty-four years into the future, realizing she's actually living inside a novel where her future son becomes a notorious villain.

The ...

Chapter 9 Sorry, I have no authority.

Jiang Zhixing ignored He Xiao's provocation and continued to look down on him.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, but it's my job as class monitor to improve the students' grades." Jiang Zhixing said this without even glancing at Gu Yi'an, and turned to leave.

Gu Yi'an spat out a curse only after the other person had left the classroom and disappeared from sight.

"Pretentious, so pretentious. I despise people like that the most." After saying that, he looked at He Xiao obsequiously: "Right, boss?"

He Xiao curled the corners of his lips, his meaning clear, and asked him, "Why did you come here?"

Gu Yi'an smiled and got down to business: "Next week our school will play a basketball game against the group from No. 1 Middle School. The teacher specially arranged for our team to train in the next class. I'll come and call you."

He Xiao understood, stretched, and stood up. "Let's go, let's go train."

"Hey bro, are you staying after school to play basketball again today?"

He Xiao paused, glancing at Gu Yi'an: "Not today, something's come up."

He promised last night that he would take Lin Yue to buy a new phone, and also some clothes, since she can't keep wearing his clothes, what would he wear then?

Besides, he's not someone who can't afford these things.

Gu Yi'an immediately understood: "You're not going to accompany our sister, are you? Do you need me to come along, boss? I'm really good at making girls happy, hehe."

Coming to his senses, He Xiao glared at him and said, "Stop thinking such filthy things, and don't call her 'sister' anymore."

Haha, you can forget about ever being a generation above him in this lifetime.

Gu Yi'an was completely baffled by his boss's thoughts, while He Xiao had already strode several meters away with his long legs.

He quickly caught up to ask the reason, but a look from the other person forced him to swallow his words.

If he doesn't want to call me that, he doesn't have to. He can just call me that in private, hehe.

...

When Shen Linyue was called back to the villa by the maid, she saw the housekeeper and a woman in a professional suit with exquisite makeup standing together, smiling to greet her.

Shen Linyue: ?

What are we supposed to do?

Just as she became wary, the butler's kind voice came from inside.

“Miss Lin Yue, this is Designer Qian from E World Studio. Some of the young master’s custom-made clothes are made by them.”

The housekeeper assumed that He Xiao's statement about having someone come to make a few outfits was equivalent to having several formal dresses custom-made.

"?" Wait, is this customization what she wanted?

Shen Linyue hesitated for a moment, then gave an awkward smile: "Well... thank you."

Clothes can't just be bought in a few sets that fit; they actually need to be custom-made.

Shen Linyue felt incredibly outdated; times had changed so fast that she no longer needed to go out to buy things. This was the umpteenth time she had felt this way.

Designer Qian already had a professional smile on his face: "Ms. Lin Yue, please come this way with me. I'll take your measurements, and you can also take a look at the styles you like."

As she spoke, she handed over a very thick photo album. Before Shen Linyue could fully recover, she opened the album and saw all kinds of exquisite and gorgeous dresses.

After reading it, Shen Linyue closed her eyes tightly: "...Thank you, just make a few suitable sets for me according to your own taste."

The butler must have his reasons for doing this. Does she really need so many dresses in this unfamiliar world?

For the next two hours, Shen Linyue was completely at the mercy of Designer Qian. After the measurements were taken, Designer Qian took out her notebook and asked her for her thoughts and requirements regarding the dress.

Shen Linyue racked her brains but couldn't figure it out. Her information about this world was still based on memories from the future, and she knew nothing about the outside world. The dress photos in the album were all beautiful and stunning, but none of them suited her.

In the end, she forced herself to say, "Anything that suits my age is fine. You can decide how to do it, thank you."

The designer didn't make things difficult for her. Instead, he took out his phone and said to her, "How about this, let's add each other on WeChat. I'll send you the design draft when it's finished, and then we can make any further modifications."

Shen Linyue was even more confused, staring at the QR code on her phone.

Is this the WeChat QR code?

"Sorry, I don't have that code, but can I use my QQ account?"

Her friend taught her how to download, install, and register QQ. It's been very popular in her circle lately, and everyone likes to chat on it.

This prestige should serve the same purpose, right?

I'll ask again when I pick up my eldest son later.

Designer Qian's face went blank for a moment, then he understood.

It's definitely because parents nowadays are more aware of theft prevention and don't want their children to be exposed to too much of it.

It's true that people in the wealthy world think differently from ordinary people.

"That's fine, shall I add you?"

Shen Linyue nodded with a serious expression and gave her number.

When the designer added the account, he saw an unconventional profile picture, name, and signature.

Former designer: ...

Maybe non-mainstream trends are popular among kids these days? After all, fashion is a cycle.

Seeing the designer's expression change several times, Shen Linyue looked bewildered. "Is there a problem?"

Designer Qian snapped out of her daze and put on her professional smile again: "No problem, it's been added. Please remember to approve it. If there are any elements you'd like to add, feel free to let me know."

Shen Linyue nodded solemnly: "Thank you, you've worked hard."

Designer Qian quickly waved his hand and stood up: "You're too kind. I'll be going now. Goodbye, Miss Lin Yue."

Not long after the other party left, the butler came in and brought a dessert. He saw Shen Linyue lying on the sofa with her eyes closed, looking at her with affection.

"Miss Lin Yue, would you like to have something to eat? Would you like to go downstairs and watch TV for a while?"

When Shen Linyue opened her eyes, she saw the exquisitely arranged pastries on the coffee table, which instantly soothed her weary soul.

"Okay, let's go downstairs and watch TV now!"

The housekeeper was surprised that she agreed so quickly, and shook his head with amusement after a moment of surprise.

He's still just a child, full of energy.

Shen Linyue stood up with the dessert in her hand, then, thinking of He Xiao, asked, "What time does He Xiao get out of school? I want to pick him up."

The housekeeper was surprised by her question and hesitated before answering, "If he has evening classes, he has to go at 10:30 p.m., but the young master rarely attends evening classes, so he should be back by 5:30 p.m. Will you be picking him up from school?"

"Huh? He doesn't attend evening classes." No wonder my eldest son's grades are so bad; while everyone else is working hard, he's just playing around.

It seems that my son's studies need to be put on the agenda.

She remembered that he should be a senior in high school now, right? This was a very important time, and she absolutely couldn't let him waste any time!

Yes, she plans to study with him, and they'll succeed eventually.

"Yes." What the butler didn't say was that even if the young master didn't attend evening classes, he would never come back very early.

Judging from the young master's attitude toward Miss Lin Yue, perhaps Miss Lin Yue could persuade the young master?

The butler knew this was difficult, so he didn't say anything more.

“Okay, I’ll go pick him up. Give me an address and I’ll take the bus.” She knows how to read signs, and Shen Linyue is very proud of that, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to find He Xiao yesterday.

housekeeper:……

He smiled and shook his head helplessly: "Miss Lin Yue, there's no need for such trouble. I'll arrange for a driver to take you there."
