When Jiang Yu arrived, he saw the girl sitting at the top of the stairs. She was hugging her knees in a daze. Her blushing face was pale, and she looked lifeless.
Although he was mentally prepared, the scene still made his heart ache.
âJing Tong.â The man walked to her and said. âYour father has prepared an education fund for you. Itâs enough to fund you through your entire course of study.â
The girl finally looked up and was confused.
It took her a while to recognize who it was.
âJiang Yu, itâs you,â she mumbled.
âItâs me,â Jiang Yu said. âJust let me know if you need any help in the future.â
Jing Tong smiled and said, âWhatâs this about charity?â
âNo. Weâve known each other for so many years. I canât leave you alone,â Jiang Yu said. âIâve always treated you as a sister.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jing Tong suddenly whimpered.
âSisterâ¦â There was an inexplicable bizarreness in her tone. âJiang Yu, I just want to ask you whether you knew about my father.â
Jiang Yu clenched his fist, but he wouldnât lie because it just wasnât in him to do so. ââ¦Yes.â
âWhat role did you play?â Jing Tong stared at him.
âI handed over the evidence of your father violating the discipline,â Jiang Yu said.
Jing Tong crossed her arms and shivered.
âWhy, Jiang Yu? Whyâ¦â
âHe made a big mistake. I had to stop him,â Jiang Yu said without hesitation. âHeâs a good father to you, but to others, heâs a demon. Jing Tong, you should know that your father isnât innocent at all.â
He sounded stern towards the end of his sentence.
Jing Tong laughed and her laughter got louder and louder. She even started tearing up.
âJing Tong?â Jiang Yu frowned.
âYes, my father deserves it.â She held the railing and stood up slowly. âIâve accepted that a long time ago. I donât need you to tell me. I just donât understand why it had to be you.â
âIf it were someone else, the evidence might not have reached the higher-upsâ¦â
âYou always have a reason for everything.â Jing Tong choked. âI only know that youâve never considered my wellbeing when you made this decision, even for a second.â
âThis man is so cold-blooded and heartless. Even at this point, heâs still saying it to my face that my father deserves it.â It would have been fine if it were someone else, but she didnât understand why it had to be him. Why did he have to break her heart?
Jiang Yu took a deep breath and moved his lips, wanting to say something, but he stopped.
âThank you.â The girl looked at him, looking like she was crying and laughing. âYou used this method to let me know how much you hate me, and to let me give up on you completely.â
All her fantasies were destroyed at that moment, and she realized how ridiculous she had been.
âJing Tong!â Jiang Yu suddenly felt his heart ache. He tried to help her, but the girl pushed him away.
âI heard you made a great contribution this time, huh? Congratulations. You should be promoted soon,â Jing Tong said. âNo wonder you had to hand over the materials yourself. Otherwise, you wouldnât have gotten the credit.â
