Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School

1420 I’d Rather You Admit Nothing

Jian Ai had always felt uneasiness in Bai Zhou’s heart. This was also the reason she favored Bai Zhou because he had sacrificed too much for her.

Therefore, Jian Ai tried her best to give him more security over the years. She even talked to Xiao Zhen about this.

However, at that moment, Bai Zhou accidentally revealed the weakness and uneasiness in his heart.

Perhaps because he had changed his imaginary enemy to Yu Wuyuan, an existence stronger than Xiao Zhen, he lost control.

Or for some other reason.

In short, this was the first time Bai Zhou had revealed this side of himself so obviously. Although he was joking and did not look serious…

Everyone present knew what he was thinking, even more so Jian Ai.

Bai Zhou finally realized this problem and quickly put away his state of mind. “I’m not competing with myself.”

When he spoke again, his tone had already relaxed.

However, it was this that made Jian Ai’s heart ache for him.

To not let the atmosphere be too heavy, Jian Ai pretended to be casual and said, “No matter what, the first person I think of when I encounter a problem is you.”

“Don’t worry, even if I want Yu Wuyuan to do something, I’ll discuss it with you in advance.”

In Jian Ai’s heart, this company did not belong to her alone. It belonged to her and Bai Zhou.

Without Bai Zhou, she would not be where she was today.

“Really?” Bai Zhou was delighted.

Jian Ai smiled and nodded seriously. “When have I lied to you?”

Seeing this, Bai Zhou couldn’t help but shake his body as if he had been doted on. His mood seemed to have cleared up.

As expected, Jian Ai’s words were the most effective.

“It’s time to eat. I bought a top-notch fish from the seafood market today. There’s also top-notch beef and extremely precious snails. You’re in luck!” Chi Yang poked his head out of the kitchen in a flowery apron.

“I’ll call Si Yue. He’s been in the house for the entire afternoon. He’s probably cultivating,” Bai Zhou said.

Si Yue did not take the college entrance examination because he had decided from the beginning that he would not accompany Jian Ai to the university.

This was also Jian Ai’s decision after asking him for his opinion.

If Si Yue wanted to continue studying at the university, Jian Ai would naturally let him stay by her side.

However, if he went to university purely to accompany her, there was no need.

In this situation, it was obvious that it was the latter.

To be honest, she was not used to it in the first few days. After all, ever since Si Yue reunited with her, he had stayed by her side the most. Even when she went to look for the High Priest, Jian Ai only brought him along.

However, after Ye Liushang’s guidance, Si Yue mastered the power of darkness. Now, he needed more time to cultivate and improve. This was a serious matter.

Similarly, the Jian family suddenly felt unaccustomed.

Today, Qiao Shuyi cooked personally and made many dishes, but there were no longer four people at the table.

“After Yiyi left, I was shaken,” Qiao Shuyi couldn’t help but say.

Jian Changsheng couldn’t help but stop eating. He looked at her and said softly, “Isn’t this something we parents can’t escape from? Yichen will take the college entrance examination next year. By then, we’ll be the only ones left at home.”

He initially wanted to comfort her, but Jian Changsheng’s words made Qiao Shuyi’s eyes turn red. She felt even worse.

Seeing this, Jian Yichen handed a piece of tissue paper over expressionlessly. “If you miss her, you can go to the capital to see her. Didn’t Grandma always mention that you haven’t been back this year?”

“Yichen is right,” Jian Changsheng said. “Let’s find time to return to the capital to look?”

Qiao Shuyi wiped the corners of her eyes and said, “It’s easy to say. If I go back, who will take care of you and Yichen? Nanny Xu resigned so suddenly. It’s not that easy to find a good nanny.”

Jian Yichen shook his head helplessly. His mother would always treat him as a child and his father as someone who couldn’t take care of himself.

Was this a woman?

Why did they have such heavy thoughts…

“Yichen is not a child anymore. Besides, I can take care of him. There aren’t many things in the company recently,” Jian Changsheng said and patted the back of Qiao Shuyi’s hand comfortingly. “If you miss Yiyi, go over. It’s fine.”

Qiao Shuyi’s heart sank. She sighed deeply and didn’t have an appetite. “You guys eat. I’ll go up first.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she left the two of them and went upstairs.

After Qiao Shuyi left, Jian Yichen couldn’t help but frown. “Dad? Is Mom going through menopause?”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Jian Changsheng looked at his son in anger and amusement. “It’s still early!”

“What’s wrong with her recently? She’s so sentimental.” Jian Yichen pursed his lips in confusion.

Women were difficult to understand. How troublesome!

Jian Changsheng picked up a piece of meat and placed it in his son’s bowl. He said casually, “It’s just that your sister suddenly went to university and she couldn’t recover for a moment. Why don’t you think about it? When you were young, you often stayed with your grandparents for half a month. Your mother raised your sister since she was young!”

Jian Yichen seemed to understand and didn’t complain anymore.

However, the atmosphere at home was very gloomy. He did not like this.

Seeing that his son was silent, Jian Changsheng couldn’t help but think. He looked at his son and finally asked hesitantly, “Yichen, how did… your senior do?”

Jian Yichen couldn’t react for a moment. He was stunned for two seconds before snorting.

If he wanted to ask, he could have asked directly. Why did he have to beat around the bush?

“Are you talking about Jian Ai?” Jian Yichen put down his chopsticks and looked at Jian Changsheng seriously.

Jian Changsheng nodded and lowered his head.

Jian Yichen saw this and had no expression on his face. He only answered, “Seven hundred and three points for the college entrance examination, Capital University!”

Jian Changsheng was delighted.

Seven hundred and three points. This result was indeed like Jian Changsheng’s daughter.

“You seem very concerned about her.” Jian Yichen suddenly said. This was not a question, but a statement.

Jian Changsheng froze and looked up at Jian Yichen.

Jian Yichen also stared at him intently. For some reason, anger suddenly surged in his heart.

This anger was not for himself, but for Jian Ai.

What had his father done to hurt her?!

Their eyes met, and the two of them seemed to communicate silently. In the end, Jian Changsheng nodded slightly.

This action instantly broke the balance of everyone’s lives.

However, Jian Changsheng knew he was not forced. There was a force in his heart that seemed to hold him hostage. Or was the person holding him hostage himself?

He wanted to acknowledge Jian Ai from the bottom of his heart!

However, Jian Yichen’s eyes became angry and even red.

He gritted his teeth and said, “I’d rather you admit nothing!”

He would rather leave everything as it was.

However, with Jian Changsheng’s nod, nothing could go back!

Jian Yichen stood up and left the dining table without a word.
