"Ah..." Wu Jingbo sighed, then turned apologetically towards Chuxia and the others with a smile, "Thank you for willing to accompany . I know you all wonder why I’ve beco so ddleso. Indeed, there’s a reason for it." She looked at Qin Yibo, "Even if you’ve changed your na, you still keep the needle box given by your grandfather.
This needle box is unique to our Wu Family, so when I unintentionally saw it on your desk, I was particularly puzzled and couldn’t help but open it to take a look.
It had my grandfather’s unique signature on it, so I knew you must be his disciple. Thus, I called my grandfather and learned about your relationship with our Wu Family.
Grandfather said, you don’t want to contact the Wu Family because your heart’s knot hasn’t unraveled yet. He told not to reveal it, but instructed to inform him imdiately when you encounter difficulties.
He said the past events also blad him, for wronging you without finding out the truth. Later, he didn’t explain because what’s done was done, and you were doing well, so he didn’t want to disturb you.
Now that you’re facing issues, grandfather hopes to make up for the mistake he made back then. He said, if you still won’t forgive him, he has nothing to say, but if you plan to forgive him, you must accept his help."
"It’s not Master’s fault; it really isn’t. It was my own foolishness that led astray, causing embarrassnt to Master and junior sister.
These years I haven’t contacted the Wu Family, not because I don’t forgive Master, but because I don’t have the face to go to the Wu Family. If it weren’t for Master back then, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I’m not ungrateful; how could I bla Master?
That’s why I definitely can’t bring trouble to Master this ti. No matter what the background of the Wu Family is, it’s inappropriate for anyone to help with my current matters. Jingbo, if you really care about , please help persuade Master.
Tell him, when one day I truly have no troubles, I will definitely go to see him first thing. Now, if he insists on helping , I’ll never be able to raise my head again in this life!"
"Grandfather says you’re stubborn, and you indeed are...," Wu Jingbo looked at him helplessly, "Alright, regardless of whether you’re willing to accept grandfather’s help, I still wish to convey his intentions to you.
He said, among the disciples he taught, you’re the most talented. He has always regretted not being able to truly expand Wu Family’s dical skills, and if you’re willing to return, you’d really be helping him.
I’m not deceiving you; initially, I left ho to find a good disciple for grandfather, but unfortunately, that candidate couldn’t give up everything to go to grandfather’s side.
I’m not deceiving you; if you don’t believe , you can ask Lin Chuxia, she knows the matter best because my grandfather’s favored person is her sworn brother."
"Yes." Chuxia quickly nodded to testify, "We all know about this."
Qin Yibo hesitated slightly. To be honest, he was sowhat tempted by Wu Jingbo’s proposal, but also feared implicating Elder Wu. Thinking of those years when many families were totally destroyed, he imdiately made up his mind, "Jingbo, now isn’t the right timing. I promise you, when my issues are resolved, if still possible, I will certainly go to Master’s side."
Frankly, among those present, aside from Chuxia, everyone felt conflicted about Professor Qin’s decision. They hoped Professor Qin could have a good developnt but were also worried it might indeed bring disaster to the Wu Family, as he feared.
Chuxia also understood Qin Yibo’s concerns, but at this mont, she couldn’t promise him, assuring him that his worries wouldn’t manifest, and his future problems wouldn’t beco problematic... If she truly said so, not only Professor Qin, but everyone would think she was minding others’ business irresponsibly.
Moreover, even if she didn’t care how others viewed her temporarily, Qin Yibo wouldn’t possibly listen to her.
For a mont, the room sank into silence...
"Knock knock knock..." The door was knocked again, Qin Yibo quickly got up to open it, his hopeful face turning into disappointnt upon seeing the visitor, "Hello, whom are you looking for?" He looked at the young stranger standing at the door, questioning confusedly.
"I am Lan Suming, now taking over your position."
Chuxia and the others exchanged glances; why was this person here? To provoke them? Don’t bla them for overthinking, it’s just that his behavior in the classroom was too indifferent, and they couldn’t naively assu he was also here to console others.
"Please co in." Qin Yibo invited Lan Suming into the room and, seeing the circle of seated individuals, Lan Suming looked slightly surprised, then sat on an unoccupied chair.
"Teacher Lan, what business do you have with ?" Qin Yibo asked politely.
"Hmm." Lan Suming responded briefly but didn’t continue.
This left Qin Yibo sowhat embarrassed, everyone was here out of goodwill to see him, including the teacher’s granddaughter, who specifically ca to help him. He couldn’t ask them to leave, and Lan Suming made clear he had business with him, so he couldn’t send him away either. Taking Lan Suming to the bedroom to talk seed rude, and so everyone just froze there...
"Should we, perhaps, step out for a while?" With slight hesitation, Yang Xiaoli suggested to the others, "Let’s go to the Fang Family first, and visit Professor Qin later?" Her words were very clear, conveying to Lan Suming that if he had sothing unsuitable to say in front of them, they weren’t there to idle, but had serious business...
"No need." Lan Suming waved his hand, "The fact that you can co at this ti shows your good intentions. Anyway, what I have to say is not sothing shaful, it doesn’t matter if everyone’s here. However, I’ll say this upfront, if what I say today gets spread, don’t bla for being rude!" (To be continued.
