CHAPTER 739: CHAPTER 665: LIKING YOU FROM THE FIRST SIGHT 6_3

The assistant, seeing his distressed expression, didn’t dare to ask more, "Mr. Bo, should I pick up the young miss and bring her home, or just let her stay there?"

"Just let her stay." After much thought, Bo Qin decided to let Jian Dan learn to grow on her own. Otherwise, people couldn’t assist her forever. She could rely on his influence and even use his name to tell others she’s not to be trifled with.

But Jian Dan’s current personality was that of a contrary and timid girl; if she couldn’t overcome it herself, it was very hard for others to help her.

Moreover, he believed the child he had raised couldn’t be so weak, it was just that she disliked trouble. Her current condition was just like that.

The assistant, not understanding Bo Qin’s decision, naturally didn’t dare to ask more and could only stand aside, wanting but failing to speak.

"Pull up that young star’s information on your phone. If next time, she still fails to recognize what’s good for her, you’ll ruin her future."

Assistant: "..."

"What, can’t you do it?"

The assistant nodded repeatedly, "I can, I can, Mr. Bo, rest assured, I will keep the young miss’ matters in mind and will handle them well."

"Hmm, I’ve already decided on the business trip to Haicheng. Buy two plane tickets; I’m taking the young girl out for a diversion. If I get held up over there, you arrange for someone to send her back. She can relax, but she can’t neglect her studies."

"Yes, I’ve got it, Mr. Bo."

"Hmm."

...

All day, Jian Dan was quite listless. She really wanted to see Bo Qin, who seemed like her last refuge, but didn’t want to trouble him and just endured till school ended. As Mi Lu led her toward the dormitory and noticed she was distracted, even Lai Wei was somewhat at a loss. Lai Wei said, "Jian Dan, if there’s anything troubling you, just tell us. Mi Lu and I will share the burden. It will make you feel a lot lighter. Don’t keep it bottled up inside."

Mi Lu, "Yeah, exactly. Jian Dan, if you’re unhappy, just cry it out. Lai Wei and I will be here with you. If you think someone has been unfair, that’s okay too. We can slowly look into who is behind it. I think this is a malicious attack; if we step back, the slanderers will think we are easy targets."

Jian Dan shook her head, "It’s nothing. I just miss home a bit. I want to go home."

"But you can’t." After holding back for a while, Mi Lu blurted this out.

That blow was not softened at all.

Lai Wei tugged at Mi Lu’s sleeve, "If you can’t say something useful, don’t say anything at all. It’s better just to accompany her."

Mi Lu struggled desperately, "My mother tongue isn’t very good. If I said some inappropriate words, don’t mind it. I didn’t mean it, my mother tongue just isn’t very good, that’s all."

Lai Wei and Jian Dan were both amused by Mi Lu. Jian Dan’s mood lightened slightly, and she grasped Mi Lu’s hand, saying thank you.

Mi Lu shook her head, "We just clicked. I help you because I like you, nothing more. I also believe you’re not that kind of person. We both know what happened yesterday; it was just a small setback. Jian Dan, if you care about it, people might laugh at us behind our back."

Jian Dan responded with a murmur, washed up, and then climbed into bed to sleep.

Lai Wei gave Mi Lu a look, and the two of them walked out. At the end of the corridor, standing face to face, Lai Wei sighed, "What’s your view on this matter?"

Mi Lu, "I generally don’t suspect others maliciously, but this time, I really want to smash Lin Yuanyuan’s head against the wall. It’s too despicable. Although the evidence hasn’t been found yet, my instincts tell me she did it."

Lai Wei smiled, "Great minds think alike. My intuition tells me the same. But what’s her motivation? We may share a dorm, but to be honest, we aren’t close."

"It’s true we aren’t close, but whether she knows us well, that’s hard to say. My identity and Jian Dan’s have that little bit of specialness. I’m an overseas Chinese, a returnee, who has investments here and has donated quite a lot to the school. Jian Dan’s family even donated a building that’s under construction. The one being capped, that’s the one her family donated."

Poor top student Lai Wei, "... The evils of capitalism."

Mi Lu laughed heartily, "Though I agree with your view, I think our family is alright. About Jian Dan, I’m not sure. She’s quite evil; a building is worth several million at least. To donate just like that? Truly lavish,"
