"Xiao Hua, you have to hang in there!"
Lin Xinglan said it nonchalantly, but her tears flowed fiercely all the sa.
Song Lili was confused for a mont too, she didn’t know why Lin Xinglan was crying so hard, why these tears were shed...
Did Lin Xinglan value the military cadet selection that much?
"You... not content?"
Song Lili knew she shouldn’t be curious and pry, but she couldn’t help herself.
Lin Xinglan fiercely wiped away her tears, choking up, "I want to get through the selection... I know I’m overestimating myself, and I know the hope is slim, but being with you, following by your side, with you leading, I feel very hopeful... I naively thought... maybe I could muddle through..."
Song Lili frowned; this wasn’t the answer she was looking for.
"You said... that a person can only rely on themselves in life, that only when you’re strong are you truly strong. My dad is facing an investigation now, I actually know... this investigation won’t be easy to get through, my dad..."
Lin Xinglan’s voice trailed off completely as she spoke.
"Don’t you have a lot of faith in your dad?"
"Whether I believe in him is one thing, but the people auditing him are not ... wuwuwu... Dad has enemies too, he has enemies he can’t deal with... Dad said... wuwu..."
"Will you keep it down a bit, do you want to draw everyone outside over here?"
Bian Yiyi spoke out sowhat impatiently, chiding them in a low voice.
Lin Xinglan quickly tried to stop her sobs and covered her own mouth, so you could see her small shoulders heaving silently, each one irresistibly tugging at the heartstrings.
Song Lili looked at Lin Xinglan, feeling sowhat like she was looking in a mirror. Both daughters of the mayor, both from families that had fallen on hard tis... both powerless when their fathers got into trouble...
She vividly rembered that not long after her father was suspended and investigated, he was labeled as accepting bribes, embezzling, and colluding with foreign parties...
Wasn’t it exactly the sa as with Lin Han now?
No matter how innocent you are, from the mont you’re suspended and investigated, it seems to be like a battle with no return... a struggle where neither heaven nor earth responds to your calls.
"Didn’t Shen Lingxi say... she would help you?"
Song Lili said indifferently.
Lin Xinglan was shocked and looked at Song Lili in disbelief, "How... how did you know?"
"I heard it by chance."
"..."
Lin Xinglan unconsciously swallowed.
"As long as they delay , prevent from getting through the selection, won’t she just ask Commander Shen Xinhui to speak favorably on your father’s behalf, ensuring he passes the investigation unscathed?"
The light in Lin Xinglan’s eyes flickered and her face clearly showed more panic and unease.
"...You didn’t injure your leg just to trip up, did you?"
"Not at all!"
Lin Xinglan shouted this out hastily! She didn’t care anymore whether her voice was kept down, and tears erupted more violently than before,
"Tang Xiaohua, I know what you’re thinking right now, I know it’s hard for you to believe , but I didn’t! I’ve wavered, yes, but I didn’t!"
"...Even if you had done it, I wouldn’t think there’s anything wrong with it because the bait Shen Lingxi offered was simply too tempting."
"I didn’t..."
As soon as Lin Xinglan heard what Song Lili said, she felt like Song Lili had made up her mind not to believe her, and suddenly her crying grew even more turbulent...
Song Lili got a headache from the crying, sighed softly,
"Then why didn’t you?"
"Because I don’t believe Shen Lingxi... soone who doesn’t dare to compete with you fair and square but has to rely on these underhanded tactics to win you over, why should I believe what she says? I’m not a real idiot... wuwu..."
Song Lili was genuinely stunned this ti...
"On the contrary, I said that I believe in you... I believe every single word you say because for every word you say, you show it to through your actions."
"..."
"So I want to get through the selection with you, and even if I can’t get through it with you, I still want to help you get through the selection... wuwu..."
As Song Lili listened... she fell silent, her lips lightly curling up, and her eyes unexpectedly began to burn slightly.
