Chapter 241 Chapter 241 [VIP]
"My mistake was not breaking down all the calculations and explaining them all to you clearly from the beginning."
Megan was crying and making a fuss in his office, and Arthur's reaction was to calmly close the door. Someone had noticed Megan's abnormality before and had noticed this place early on. When he closed the door, the office had good sound insulation, and people outside would definitely not be able to hear what was happening inside.
The little bear listened to his words, but was still not convinced and was about to hit her with her head, but Arthur gently held her forehead with one hand, and his palm received the force of her attack. Arthur remained calm.
He was never one to smile, but he had enough patience and tolerance. He picked up Megan by her armpits and made her sit on the leather chair behind the desk. Then he turned the bearing so that she faced him. Arthur bent down slightly, put his hands on the armrests on both sides of the chair, and looked at Megan at eye level.
"You trust the people around you too much, Megan, and that's not a good sign."
Arthur knew that Megan didn't have that many thoughts. Even though she had seen through the true nature of society early on, she was still too naive in dealing with things. As some people said, "In her opinion, there are no bad people in the world." This was because the most insane criminals in history were tamed by her, which led to her wrong perception.
But this is not a good thing.
Arthur carefully observed the expression between Megan's eyebrows and eyes. Even though she understood what he said, the child was still aggrieved and kept on asking, "Can't you tell me and explain it to me clearly?" She would definitely listen to her father and would not do things on her own.
Her father couldn't help but smile, his tone calm and steady, "But you never learn your lesson. You'll still trust others easily next time."
"You don't believe anyone would do you harm. It's my close protection that has led you to misunderstand me. This little incident is a perfect lesson for you, letting you know that some of your friends harbor evil intentions. Isn't that a good thing?"
"not good!"
Megan refuted all at once. It was clear that a few months had passed, and when her final exams were over and summer vacation was coming to an end, she would be turning thirteen. But she didn't look like she had grown up at all, and when she lost her temper, she was even more willful. She kicked Arthur on the leg, but tears welled up in her eyes again.
She cried and said, "You don't tell me, you don't say anything to me, then if I still don't know..." How long does he want to watch?
Arthur raised one hand to hold her cheek, just catching a tear that fell. He was now pretending to be a normal person, covering up his original pale skin color. Even though there was a layer of separation, he could still feel that the tear was hot.
He interrupted Megan and said in an unquestionable tone: "Then I will tell you, and then we will sit together to analyze and communicate. Then you will cry, but you won't be as angry as you are now."
"But I thought, if you can't hold on, if you choose to give up, I will comfort you then."
"But I know better than anyone that you will persist. You will guess before I confess everything to you. You will come to question me and you will definitely be angry with me." He knew everything and anticipated everything, but he let it go, ignoring Megan's busyness and watching her get anxious and worried about too many courses.
He knew that Megan sometimes stayed up late to read and complete homework. She put a lot of thought into trying to complete these things. She never got discouraged or gave up on herself. She had done the best she could. Arthur said so, but this was obviously beyond his expectations. Megan's stubborn temper made her refuse to admit defeat even in such a situation.
Megan looked up at him blankly, and Arthur also looked down at her, "I know your stubborn temper. You beat up clowns. There is no one in the world braver than you. Your growth always exceeds my expectations, but it feels good."
How beautifully he spoke, and Megan asked, "Are you comforting me?"
Arthur shook his head slightly. "No, if I want to comfort you, then I would say that you are my most beloved and proudest child."
Megan still had some residual unhappiness, but she was obviously coaxed into it. After saying "Oh", she said: "But I will still be angry, but I still love you very much."
This was a spoiled child. She knew how to deal with things separately. She pushed Arthur's hand away, jumped off the chair, and raised her fist to lightly hit the hem of Arthur's clothes. This was not as angry and forceful as when she first came. Although it was not powerful enough to deal with Arthur, it was a sign that her temper had softened.
Arthur watched her walk to the door and then turn back, pulling out a few tissues and carefully wiping her face. When she was done, she threw the garbage on his desk, looking extremely arrogant. Before leaving, she told him seriously, "I know there are a lot of bad people in this world, but I'm starting to get angry. Dad, you'd better not delay my final exam."
Arthur:?
Don't delay her final exam?
Megan finished her speech and kicked the door of his office when she left. Then she said to Rachel Torres, the chairman's assistant, "My dad and I are angry, and I have final exams soon. Rachel, some things don't need to wait for me to deal with them."
Rachel is the assistant Megan hired with the business card given by Deathstroke. She is serious and rigorous in her work, but gentle in personality, and is happy to play this game of house with Megan. She and another new secretary, Wright Kane, both know that even though this company is just starting out, the boss is obviously training his daughter to be the heir.
As long as it does not affect major matters, Arthur always leaves some documents for Megan to read and wait for her to make a decision. He is never pretending to coax the child. As long as Megan decides on something, he will carry it out according to her wishes.
So after Megan told Rachel, they wouldn't leave her any paperwork.
Rachel agreed with a smile. She had of course noticed early on that Megan was coming over in a rage and was sure to lose her temper with Arthur, but this father and daughter had never really broken up. Arthur sometimes deliberately provoked Megan to see her angry.
…
Megan went back to school to take the exam and performed well. After estimating her results, she decided not to go look for her father, but made an appointment with Jason to go out and play.
They bought some fast food on the way and ate at Jason's safe house. Megan looked for a place to tie balloons as soon as she entered the house. This was already a routine operation. She liked these little gadgets and her love for balloons remained unchanged.
A long time had passed since Megan first came here and brought in the balloons. Jason finally asked, "Xiaomei, why do you like balloons?" Maybe "liking" doesn't need a reason, but Jason inexplicably felt that Megan had been waiting for this question for a long time. She didn't mind being asked, and even had the answer prepared long ago.
Sure enough, Megan turned around and thought, "There are a lot of clowns selling balloons on the street."
She wasn't talking about the vicious criminal in Gotham, but the clowns who dressed up as circus clowns and either promoted store activities or sold goods. They were tied to various festivals and would appear whenever there was an event.
Megan loves the Joker and his family, saying, "I have a whole wall in the country dedicated to Robin and Batman peripherals." She didn't realize that she had learned the Joker's habit of calling Batman "Bat."
Did her jumping behavior anger the Joker? Didn't they often provoke each other?
Jason chuckled. "Oh my god, that would be an honor for Robin!"
Megan had already tied the balloons. She walked to the table. Actually, she was not hungry at this time. Jason also noticed it, so he did not open the food they brought back. Instead, he dragged a small sofa to the window. Then they squeezed on the sofa to look at the scenery outside the window. It was a good day today. The sky was clear and wisps of clouds were floating in the wind.
It has officially entered summer. Although it is not hot yet, their clothes have long been reduced to single layers. The wind blowing in from the window brings a cool breeze.
Megan leaned back on the sofa, spread her arms, and didn't care that she was pressing down on Jason next to her, because he would make room for her anyway.
Jason moved himself very lightly and sat on the armrest of the sofa, shaking his calves like her, keeping the same rhythm. He turned his eyes slightly and saw Megan's fluffy curly hair spread out, blown slightly by the wind, like the seaweed he sometimes saw when he dived to the bottom of the sea.
Megan opened her eyes and heard him ask softly and caringly, "Xiaomei, you've been busy with a lot of things this semester. Are you almost done?"
He knew that Megan had inexplicably taken many more courses after the establishment of White Bear, and judging from the homework she sometimes asked him to help with, the other party was very knowledgeable and might be a remarkable person. He guessed who it was, and saw that those were the contents that Megan would definitely learn in the future. He just didn't know why so many courses were piled up together.
Jason saw all the hardship Megan had gone through, and of course he wanted to persuade her not to rush the course. But that night when he talked to her, Megan's eyes sparkled under the light, as if gems were crushed in her eyes. She said, "I want to give it a try, maybe I can do it?" She wanted to try, and then she put in the effort.
Then Megan persisted. Although they only went out to play twice a week at most, it did not mean that Megan's swordsmanship had fallen behind. She did not neglect it. The sparring time was mostly on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. After training, Megan continued with her courses. She felt that the busy schedule was also full of challenges.
Jason knew Megan's determination and would never stop her. He was happy to see Megan finally relax at the end of the semester after working so hard for so long.
Hearing his question, Megan tilted her head and looked at him, "The courses will continue, but they need to be restructured. They won't be as busy in the future."
She would not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains or stop studying because of a little temper.
Jason laughed cheerfully, and it was obvious that he was also happy with Megan's decision. He then asked, "How long do you plan to rest?"
Megan: “A week at most.”
"Shall we play a new game then?"
"Um!"
Megan agreed decisively, and Jason was very sensitive to something. He said, "I found out before the exam. You're not happy, Xiaomei. What happened?"
Megan is the most well-behaved and lovely child in the world. Who was so bad to make her angry?
The author has something to say:
A reader commented before that he wanted peripheral products (contemplation). I thought about it for a long time, and then bought commercial licenses for several manuscripts.
As for the peripherals, there should be 1 keychain (Megan), 2 badges (Megan + Jason), and 2 standees (Megan + Jason), which means a total of 5 peripherals. As for the lucky draw, JJ will set a subscription rate threshold of 90%, and there will be about 10 of each peripheral, so we won't make too many.
So we plan to draw 10 sets, but this is all planned for the new year. We haven't customized them yet. We will have to wait until all the finished products come back before we can start the draw. I hope everyone~
