Standing in front of the tightly closed door, she raised her hand and tapped her knuckles lightly.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Lin Jianxue's clear voice soon came from inside, with a hint of doubt: "Dad? Mom?"
"Yes, Mom." Shen Wu responded and opened the door.
My daughter was leaning against the head of the bed, holding a book in her hands.
She was wearing soft cotton pajamas, and her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, making her slightly pale face look even more delicate and fair.
At this moment, she calmed down, her brows less fierce and resolute than those in the Public Security Bureau, and more gentle than that of her age. Indeed, there was still a hint of the naivety that came from being pampered by her parents and ignorant of the sufferings of the world.
This made Chen Wu's heart soft and painful.
Seeing her mother come in, Lin Jianxue quickly put down the book and sat up straight, with a hint of surprise in her clear eyes: "Mom, why are you here?"
Shen Wu went to sit beside the bed.
She didn't speak immediately. Instead, she reached out and smoothed down the slightly messy hair on her daughter's forehead. She looked at her tenderly, as if she wanted to deeply imprint her current appearance in her heart. Then she asked softly, "Xiaoxue, tell me the truth, are you...really determined? Do you really want to go to that Heilongjiang Province?"
Lin Jianxue's heart skipped a beat, and she asked tentatively, "Dad...did he agree?"
"Not yet. Your father is so stubborn, how could he give in so quickly? He's sulking in his study because of what you just said."
She paused, as if deliberately keeping her in suspense. Seeing her daughter's nervous expression, she said helplessly, "But... I think he's just being tough on the outside. Deep down, he's probably been thinking about how to find connections and pave the way for you. After all, it was you who asked to train. How can he really stop you from 'progressing'?"
"Go back and try to be a little spoiled with him, say some soft words, and give him a way out. Can he really get the better of you? Your dad's life is ruined by your precious little girl!"
Hearing this, Lin Jianxue's eyes suddenly lit up.
She stretched out her arms and hugged Chen Wu's arms, rubbing her head against her shoulder affectionately, her voice sweet and sticky: "Mom! You are the best to me!"
Chen Wu was amused by his daughter's sudden affection, but a pang of sadness welled up in his heart.
Chen Wu pulled his daughter into his arms and hugged her tightly.
Her hands gently stroked her daughter's soft, black hair, and finally, all her worries and reluctance turned into a long sigh.
"Silly child," she said softly, "Mom and Dad only have you as their precious daughter, and now we have a little tiger... We don't ask for you to be successful in the future or bring honor to the family. As long as you two are safe and happy, Mom will be satisfied."
The Jiang family affair was like a nightmare. She only hoped that her daughter could get over it completely without any shadow left.
Hearing her father's gentle and almost heartbreaking words, Lin Jianxue's eyes instantly turned red.
In the past and present lives, his love for her has never changed. In the previous life, when Chen Wu passed away, the person he was most worried about was herself.
After repaying Fu Zhewei, their family will never be separated again in this life.
She buried her face in Chen Wu's arms and asked gloomily, "Mom... do you think I'm... too willful? I have to run so far..."
Chen Wu gently patted her back, rubbed her little head, and laughed: "Why are you so willful? Mom told you that it's good to change your environment, go out and play, see the outside world, and broaden your horizons. Our Xiaoxue is not a flower in a greenhouse, she can withstand the wind and rain."
"But let's make a deal! If you really feel like the hardship is too much, if you can't stand it anymore, or if... you run into some unsolvable trouble and don't want to stay, just telegram your dad right away, okay? Don't force yourself to do it! No matter how big the problem, your dad will protect you! He'll definitely find a way to get you back from that corner of the house!"
Lin Jianxue raised her head, looked at her mother's gentle smile, and nodded vigorously, "Yes! Mom, I understand! Thank you! Thank you, Mom!"
