Such a well-behaved girl, she shouldn’t be the type to cause trouble.
Lin Ma herself isn’t sure, she just doesn’t want to believe it.
Jian Dan soothingly patted Lin Ma’s shoulder, "It’s okay Lin Ma, I’ll go and take a look."
"Alright, just go along with him, he can be pretty scary when he’s angry."
Jian Dan put on her shoes and walked over, stopping beside Bo Qin, "Uncle Qin, you’re back."
Bo Qin turned to look at Jian Dan, his eyes bloodshot to a frightening degree, and then he smiled, "Jian Dan, you’ve grown up, now, whatever happens, you don’t need to consult with me, as long as you’re happy, you decide on your own, right? Our feelings don’t matter, nothing matters."
Jian Dan had earlier heard Lin Ma mention something about school, she had a hunch, unsure if it was correct, and now with what Bo Qin said, she was convinced.
Deep inside, there was no panic, just a calm serenity.
"Uncle Qin, I think this is an opportunity."
"I don’t deny it’s an opportunity, but did you consult with me? Did you?"
Jian Dan sat down on the sofa opposite him, lifting her eyes to look steadily at his handsome face, letting out a barely noticeable sigh, "Uncle Qin, this matter is not necessarily certain to succeed, I just thought I would wait until things were finalized before discussing it with you."
"And if once it’s finalized, I don’t let you go? Jian Dan, are you taking revenge on me? For the way I treated you those two years, so now whatever you do is treating me in the same manner."
This accusation chilled Jian Dan internally, she wanted to say it wasn’t true, but is it really not?
Those two years, Bo Qin was cold and distant, she was sad, conflicted, emaciated, and her former self seemed to die in an instant.
She had resented Bo Qin, but later she figured it out, thinking it was no big deal, now she was intentionally not saying anything, she felt the road she was to take was unrelated to others, even though Bo Qin was her guardian, it was no exception.
She was already an adult, frankly, she no longer needed a guardian, she could decide everything for herself as an adult, including whether to stay or leave.
Bo Qin, seeing her cold eyes, guessed what she was thinking, Jian Dan was actually easy to understand, also easy to guess, she was just stubborn, single-minded, obstinate.
"Speak, what if I don’t let you go?"
Jian Dan raised her eyes, her gaze indifferent, "I will still go."
Bo Qin laughed angrily, "So everything you said before, you’ve overturned completely, you are just as I said, planning not to inform me at all, even skipping discussing it, is that right?"
Jian Dan’s expression remained unaffected, she was indifferent, everything was indifferent, "Uncle Qin, honestly, I’m an adult, I know what I like, what I don’t like, what I want, I have my own primary judgment, I’m not a child that you’re babying, not everything needs to be brought to you, not everything requires your input, and you’re very busy, do you have so much time to spend with me? No.
You have so many people under you that need to eat, your tasks are so intensive, so intensive that there’s no time to discuss with me, and besides, I think being an exchange student is a good thing, at least you won’t see me, and won’t feel irritated."
The anger that had spread throughout Bo Qin suddenly dissipated, he stared at Jian Dan in disbelief and shock, "In your heart, am I really such a person?"
Jian Dan smiled slightly, "Does it even matter if it’s true? You spent two years proving to me how deep the chasm between us is, thank you, Uncle Qin, for showing me this reality, sparing me from thinking we were inseparably close, that I could find answers to everything from you. The truth proved I was wrong."
Jian Dan stood up, "Uncle Qin, let’s leave it at that, I must go as an exchange student, if you disagree, you can renounce your guardianship, don’t worry, all these years you’ve spent on me, I’ll repay you slowly in the future, I remember."
"Are you trying to cut ties with me? You came to my house at ten, how have I treated you? Now that we’re talking about severing ties, who is in such a hurry?"
Jian Dan looked at him, somewhat not understanding, why was he angry, was it because she wanted to study abroad without telling him, or did he feel his authority was being challenged? Google seaʀᴄh novｅlfire.net
Jian Dan’s lips moved, "Uncle Qin, we’re not in any position to discuss anything right now, let’s calm down a bit, and talk later, okay?"
