Father Fan looked at her with complicated emotions: "Then why did you have to say it? Wouldn't it be better to let me live as a fool for the rest of my life?"
Qing Lengyue's gaze fell on Fan Xiaofan, whose eyes were clear beside her: "Perhaps, some truths are like a ball of yarn. Once someone has grabbed the head, there are no more secrets left."
She looked up at the person in charge, Fang, who was unsure what expression to make at this moment, and said, "Confessing will be treated leniently, won't it?"
Qing Lengyue was taken away.
Fan Ziyan, who was an accomplice, was also taken away for investigation.
Only Fan's father and Fan Xiaofan remained in the classroom.
Curious about my relationship with your mother?
Fan Xiaofan nodded. Why was Qing Lengyue able to decide to sabotage Fan's father so early on? Presumably, she was already certain that Fan's father was a trustworthy person before she did it.
“Our branch has another identity: the Guardians, and the person I serve is your mother.”
“I promised your mother that I wouldn’t take you to the main branch of the Brahma family before you grew up, but you seem to have grown up…”
So they brought gifts and visited the main branch of the Brahma family.
Father Fan finally showed the most relaxed and happy smile he had shown in a long time, and he had completed the last task assigned to the guardian.
And now, he has also gotten justice for Zhou Xiaoyu.
As for Fan Yunli and Fan Ziyan, they are now adults. Since they are not his children, they can choose their own future.
Fan Xiaofan flipped through the memories in her mind and said with some surprise, "But..."
"Is it strange that as your protector, I failed to protect you properly and instead allowed you to encounter danger time and time again?"
Fan's father chuckled, seemingly able to easily discern the question Fan Xiaofan wanted to ask from her curiosity.
"Because jade artifacts need constant polishing to reach their most perfect state, if you succeed, you can uncover the truth; if you fail, you will live a good life as an ordinary person."
Father Fan took something out of his pocket and handed it over: "This is what your mother left behind when she handed you over to me. Now I'm giving it to you."
Fan Xiaofan glanced at the jade pendant in his palm and suddenly thought of a saying: "A gentleman is as gentle as jade."
Suddenly, Father Fan began humming a little tune: "A gentleman of noble character is like jade being cut and polished; a gentleman of noble character is like polishing and carving..."
Fan Xiaofan suddenly froze. The tune sounded so familiar. She felt like she had heard it somewhere before, not in this era, but in the era she lived in. Where had she heard it before?
She shook her head, but couldn't remember.
"This little tune?"
Mr. Fan chuckled softly, ruffled her hair, and without answering her question, said, "Let's go. Now that this matter is resolved, our continued presence here will only cause trouble for the school..."
He pushed open the door, and Fan Xiaofan was stunned for a moment. She shook her head with amusement. She had probably heard similar tunes before. After all, there are quite a few folk songs that have been passed down, so it's not surprising that she had heard them.
Fan Xiaofan carefully placed the jade pendant into his pocket, patted it to make sure it was safe, then put his hands behind his back and leisurely followed his father out of the school.
Without realizing it, I started humming the little tune that Father Fan had casually hummed earlier...
After the person in charge, Fang, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but now the situation seems to be more complicated. Everyone looked at each other, wondering how to explain this to the main branch of the Fan family.
