His words seemed to come with a room for negotiation, but it filled his tone with a warning.
Ming Zhongsheng snorted. “From the day I groomed you to be the next successor, you had no personal life.”
“Grandfather, I can really do without Bright Vision.” He looked at him with a face of seriousness.
Suddenly, his eyes turned slightly red. “I’m exhausted after all these years. If I could turn back time to 16 years ago, I wouldn’t rebel. I would listen to you and accept any a.s.signments you gave me. I won’t slip away to skip studying. Then, grandmother wouldn’t have died and I wouldn’t need to carry so many burdens.”
His grandmother’s burdens.
However, Ming Zhongsheng didn’t give in. He remained adamant. “Even so, I will not agree with your relations.h.i.+p with the illegitimate daughter of the Yan’s.”
“This time, I won’t listen to your orders no matter what.”
“I won’t give up on Su Yue,” he added with utmost determination.
Ming Zhongsheng clenched his fists behind his back. He gritted his teeth and he turned green.
But at that time, he held in his anger and chose not to yell at him.
He nodded in distaste and said, “Ming Ansheng, you’re going to defy your grandfather because of an illegitimate daughter?”
He then turned away and stomped out of the room.
Ming Ansheng watched the slightly hunchbacked man leave, and he clenched his fists.
When Ming Zhongsheng left, Ming Ansheng looked up and took a shaky breath.
All these complicated emotions had tortured him.
But this time, he would not let go of Su Yue. He wouldn’t give up no matter what.
…
Ming Ansheng’s call had woken Su Yue, reminding her that she had an exam that day.
She hurriedly got out of bed and rushed straight to the exam venue in the nick of time.
The whole semester, she had basically been sleeping in cla.s.s, and so the exam caught her off guard.
She only managed to do a few simple questions.
She couldn’t figure out the answers for the other questions, so she chose an option at random for the multiple-choice questions.
She finished it early. She glanced over her answers one last time before handing it up.
She handed her results in before the top student. Everyone was shocked.
Even the teacher was shocked.
Su Yue ignored their gazes and turned it in, confidently leaving the venue.
Outside the venue, she rubbed her grumbling belly and quickened her pace, preparing to have a good meal.
She went down the stairs, turned around, and then froze.
“Jiaojiao?”
Jiao Chen was standing at the end of the right side of the staircase. He was wearing a white down jacket. He was leaning against the wall, his hands in his pockets, earphones plugged in.
He turned to look at her and flashed a faint smile. He then took his earphones off.
“You’re waiting for someone?” Su Yue asked.
Jiao Chen nodded. “I was waiting for you.”
It startled Su Yue.
He looked at Su Yue and plainly said, “I’m going home tomorrow. Let’s have a meal.”
Su Yue didn’t hesitate. She smiled and nodded. “Sure.”
Then she added, “You’re going home tomorrow. To your mum’s?”
“To that person’s house.” Jiao Chen lifted his head, continuing, “It’s my grandmother’s 90th birthday.”
