The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

YU JIAO felt like her nose suddenly became sour.  She even felt tears slowly filling up her eyes.  But she tried her best not to cry.  She didn't want the two brothers in front of her to worry.  And they surely would once they saw her cry.

Although she truly wanted to just sob right now, deep inside, she felt very warm.  Warmth surrounded her like a blanket and heated up her heart.  The words that Luo Ren and Luo Yan said were the reason for that.  It made her happy and comforted.  Especially the last one that Luo Ren said.  That she was her mother's happiness.

Because of those words, any guilt and regret she felt slowly dissipated.  She understood one thing.  Even if her mother ended up separated from Uncle Mo, she was still here for her.  The two of them still had each other.  No matter what kind of situation they might have to face next, they would face it together.  And that's all that mattered.

Yu Jiao was embarrassed to admit that the things that happened since her mother got married to Uncle Mo had been slowly pulling the two of them apart.  In fact, even though she repeatedly told herself that everything was fine and that she understood her mother's actions, there was still a small part of her that felt completely aggrieved by the situation.

If this incident didn't happen and if things continued on as they were, that small amount of grievance would definitely turn into something that she'd rather not feel – hatred.  The moment she felt that, then the relationship she had with her mother would definitely be over.  Then maybe, just maybe, this development wasn't so bad after all.  It was selfish of her to even think that.  But maybe this time she could allow herself to be selfish.

The thorn in her hear that resulted from blaming herself for the possible divorce of her mother was now completely gone.  The stone hanging in her shoulders since her mother told her that she would divorce Uncle Mo was finally lifted.  The complicated mood she had felt since had now been changed to a more positive one. 

Yu Jiao closed her eyes.  When she opened them, no trace of tears could be seen.  There was only gratitude and a soft smile.  "Thank you, Yan Yan, Brother Ren, for cheering me up."

"There's no need for thanks," Luo Yan said, waving his hand as if gesturing that what they did was not something worth being thanked for.  "What we said is only the truth."

Luo Ren nodded in agreement.  "If Auntie encountered trouble looking for a house or an apartment, call me.  I will let my assistant look for a good place."

Although what he really wanted to do was directly give Yu Jiao's mother a place to stay.  But if he did that, Yu Jiao would definitely think that it was too much.  Maybe she would even feel that it was weird.

"Yes, it would be good if the place is near the school so Jiao Jiao could visit Auntie often," Luo Yan said with a nod.

"No, no, there's no need for that," Yu Jiao quickly said.

"Jiao Jiao, it's okay.  Our family's main business is real estate.  Looking for a good place is as easy as snapping a finger for my brother," Luo Yan said.  "Besides, looking for a good place in this city in such a short time is really hard.  Auntie might have to stay at a hotel for more than a week."

Yu Jiao bit her lower lip.  Luo Yan had a point.  She also was hoping that her mother could stay somewhere near the school.  But even if their school was not in the city center, it's still a bit hard looking for an available place near it. 

She and her mother still hadn't talked about where her mother should stay after the decision of divorcing Uncle Mo.  Of course, she couldn't continue to stay at the Mo household. 

Her mother probably wouldn't leave the hospital until Yu Jiao was discharged.  During that time, the other surely wouldn't have the time to look for an apartment.  So, after she was discharged, just like Luo Yan said, her mother could only stay at a hotel.  It might be convenient.  But it's not something long-term.  And she was sure that her mother wouldn't be comfortable staying at a hotel for a long period of time.

"Jiao Jiao, there's no need to feel embarrassed because of this," Luo Yan said before she could make a decision.  "We're friends.  It's only natural to help each other.  If we're in your position, I'm sure you would also do the same.  So, don't be ashamed to accept our help."

Yu Jiao was speechless for a bit, then she smiled helplessly.  Yes, if their position was reversed, she would definitely not hesitate to offer all the help she could give.  Just like how she treasured this friendship, they most likely felt the same.

Although she was not used to other people helping her unconditionally, she should probably get used to that now.  Because her mother was not the only person in her life now.  She now had friends.  People who sincerely cared about her wellbeing.  Refusing their help was like giving a cold shoulder to their goodwill. 

So, at the end, she said, "Okay.  I will discuss it with my mother.  Thank you again.  Really."

After this 'storm' passed, she would definitely prepare a gift for them.

"As Yan Yan had said, there's no need for thanks," said Luo Ren, repeating what his brother had said earlier.  "If you encountered any more problems – and by problems, I meant the people from the Mo family - don't hesitate to call me or Yan Yan.  You can even call Xiao Jin." 

"That's right!" Luo Yan quickly seconded.  "Remember, Jiao Jiao, the Luo brothers of S City is your backing.  So, if that Mo Jian tries to hurt you again, fight back.  You can slap her as hard as you want.  We'll make sure she and her father won't be able to retaliate against you."

Luo Ren looked at his brother helplessly and rubbed the other's hair.  "Yan Yan, don't teach Jiao Jiao violence."  Then he turned to Yu Jiao.  "But when it comes to that Mo girl, resorting to violence also good."

Yu Jiao stared at the two.  And then, she finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
