She knew what her relatives ant, they wanted to take advantage of Bo Qin.
Her small fra shakily stood up, walked over to Bo Qin, and angrily glared at her cousin, "I won’t let you speak of Dad’s friend like that. Dad said, Uncle Qin is a good person, I would rather go with him than stay here waiting for you all to divide up my dad’s estate. I would even sell all of this just to keep you from getting a cent."
She could never forget, when she and her dad returned to the Jian Family, the cold ridicule and scorn from the Jian family mbers, and how they looked down on her father. They never truly considered him a part of the Jian Family.
How cold-blooded and ruthless the Jian Family was, she had understood for many years.
Bo Qin watched the little girl who stood protectively before him with arms wide open, amused and yet also moved, pulled her behind himself, and had his secretary take good care of her, while his cold gaze fixated on the Jian family mbers.
"Don’t cause trouble in front of , it won’t end well for you."
"You’re threatening people," Jian Jie was full of resentnt.
Bo Qin, however, was unfazed, "I threatened you, so what?"
Jian Family mbers: "..."
"You can take Jian Dan if you want, but this house, as well as my son’s savings, you can’t touch," the Jian family patriarch, after observing for a long ti since the funeral, negotiated terms with Bo Qin as such, but if Bo Qin negotiated terms, he would not be Bo Qin.
He had been watching the patriarch all this ti, who had remained silent. He did not take the silence as consent but waited for the right mont to act.
He was right in his guess, the daughter Jian Cheng had protected in life would be abused by relatives as ferocious as wolves and leopards after his death.
If he had not co today, then this young girl...
Bo Qin found it too painful to continue the thought. He raised his hand, signaling the secretary who understood and returned the little girl to Bo Qin. The secretary took out a folder from the bag, it clearly contained Jian Cheng’s will.
Jian Cheng’s will had legal effect, and as a fallen hero, he received special care. Together with the death benefits, all immovable properties and the only remaining cash in his na were left to his only daughter, Jian Dan. The rest of the Jian Family was not to divide them up.
"This unfilial son."
The old man had planned how much money each family would get and the remainder was for him and his spouse’s retirent. But now, not a di was his, how could he not be furious?
"Unfilial son?"
Bo Qin’s face was expressionless, highly displeased with the patriarch’s words.
"Unfilial son? Did any of you care about Jian Cheng’s life or death after he left at the age of sixteen? Now that Jian Cheng is dead, you all co eagerly to plan the division of the property that belongs to his daughter?"
Bo Qin’s piercing words embarrassed all Jian family mbers. Everyone was too intimidated by Bo Qin’s presence to speak up. Bo Qin supported Jian Dan with his hand and swept a look over the Jian family mbers, "Everything that belongs to Jian Cheng’s daughter, you will not get a single cent of it.
If you want to see this in court, that’s also fine, talk to my lawyer."
...
Jian Dan’s departure from the Jian Family was very simple, even without any kind of farewell.
She left the ho she had lived in for a short ti with her father, with all her belongings fitting into a suitcase, a doll her father had given her, and a few pieces of simple clothing.
Carrying her little backpack, she followed Bo Qin out of Feng City, the city where she had lived for ten years.
On the plane, she slept in her seat, and Bo Qin saw her tightly clutching the straps of her backpack. This backpack was once ntioned by Jian Cheng when he told Bo Qin that his daughter had started elentary school, it was a gift from him, and even though it was the first ti Bo Qin and Jian Dan t, Jian Dan had always been part of his life.
Jian Cheng was a father who took great pride in boasting about his daughter.
Also a good father, just with bad luck.
Died too soon.
Bo Qin had always kept the promise he made to Jian Cheng, taking ticulously good care of Jian Dan, enrolling her in the best international school, settling her into the finest villa district in the capital, with housekeepers and drivers at ho, and Mama Lin to take care of her daily needs. Mama Lin watched her grow up day by day.
Mama Lin often told Bo Qin that the young girl was too lonely, so well-behaved that it was heartbreaking.
Bo Qin would co to visit her every weekend, a kind of unconventional companionship, an uncle showing concern for his niece.
Every ti Bo Qin ca, Jian Dan would be happy for a long ti, regaling Bo Qin with stories from school. Jian Dan was exceptional; from the initial struggles in her first year, she gradually beca a top student. He didn’t have ti to attend parent-teacher conferences; every ti, it was his secretary who went as a proxy. He was incredibly busy.
Jian Dan had no complaints.
In fact, she was very grateful to Bo Qin for giving her a comfortable life, the best education, and that unique care.
No matter the reasons, after her father’s death, Bo Qin beca her only source of warmth, making her feel that she was not alone in this world, that she still had an uncle nad Bo Qin.
