Chapter 229 Uncle, we are a family

"Besides, wasn't it thanks to you that Yue Qing was able to enter the research institute?"

"Since it's all under your name, you might as well..."

"It's better to help Luo Luo."

Jiang Chejin almost blurted out the last sentence.

As soon as he finished speaking, he shut up because he saw Ji Bingqian's face, which was darker than the thickest ink.

Ji Bingqian looked at him, and disappointment surged up like a tide.

"Ah Che," he said slowly, his voice frighteningly calm, "You've been living an outrageous life these past few years."

At this moment, Ji Bingqian suddenly understood everything.

He finally understood why Xu Yueqing had lived like that, cautious and lacking in confidence, after following Jiang Chejin for so many years.

Because in Jiang Chejin's eyes, all of Xu Yueqing's efforts and sacrifices are justified.

Her talent, her hard work, everything about her could be easily erased, treated as a gift from others, and then snatched away with peace of mind and given to another person.

Even when someone stole her things, Jiang Chejin would just say something lightly.

"You've always been a generous person. What's wrong with giving way to her?"

And Xu Yueqing, that fool, actually didn't care about it.

Receding again and again, becoming more and more sensible year after year, has turned a girl who should have been shining brightly into an inconspicuous speck of dust.

Jiang Chejin was stunned by Ji Bingqian's words. He didn't even think he had done anything wrong.

Isn’t it?

Isn’t it just a word from his uncle that brought Xu Yueqing to where she is today?

So what difference does it make if we change to helping Luo Luo now?

Ji Bingqian looked at the obvious confusion on his face and no longer had the desire to say another word.

It's impossible to reason with someone who lives in his own world.

He withdrew his gaze and his tone returned to being cold, as if he was talking to an insignificant subordinate.

"You go report."

Those two words hit Jiang Chejin's eardrums coldly.

Seeing Ji Bingqian turning around and leaving without any intention of cleaning up the mess for him, Jiang Chejin's panic instantly broke through his rationality.

He continued to ask.

"What about tomorrow?"

Ji Bingqian paused for a moment, but did not look back.

Just this pause rekindled Jiang Cheche's hope. He hurriedly added, "Uncle, about the dinner..."

"You are responsible for what you say."

Ji Bingqian's voice came from the front, steady, cold and hard, completely shattering Jiang Chejin's luck.

He was about to say something, but Ji Bingqian's next words slapped him hard in the face.

"Yue Qing and I will be there on time."

Jiang Chejin's face instantly lost all color, becoming paler than the wall at the end of the corridor.

He was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and his voice became shrill.

"Uncle, you better understand that we are from the same family!"

After saying this, Ji Bingqian finally turned around and looked at him again.

That look was complicated.

Although there is no disappointment just now.

But his eyes were as deep as a bottomless ocean, filled with emotions that Jiang Chejin could not understand. It seemed as if he was saying, "You are so pathetic," but it also seemed as if he was saying nothing.

In the end, Ji Bingqian turned around and left without saying anything.

Jiang Chejin stood there alone. Ji Bingqian's last look lingered in his mind like a ghost, making his hands and feet cold.

It seems that his uncle is determined not to help him.
