Chapter 807: Chapter 688: Liking You Since the First Glance (Part 29_2)
...
"What did you say? Jian Dan came back alone, that fierce man didn’t accompany her this year?"
The man in the hotel was named Jian Long. Every year, he would wait at the hotel the day before his uncle’s death, hoping to run into Jian Dan. Wasn’t Jian Dan adopted by a rich person? And she took all of her uncle’s belongings. Asking her for a bit of pocket money isn’t too much, right?
If it weren’t for Bo Qin’s interference, could Jian Dan have taken her uncle’s wealth by herself?
Ridiculous, since Bo Qin isn’t here, don’t blame him, her cousin, for not showing her respect.
The figure of the girl beside him was quite nice.
Greed flashed in Jian Long’s eyes, as he returned home from the hotel and told his mother about Jian Dan coming alone.
When the time comes to bring Jian Dan home, wouldn’t everything be decided by his mother?
Jian Long’s father, Jian Cheng’s brother, Jian Ci, was also restless at this time. In Feng City, the Jian Family ran a medium-sized business, not very wealthy, just enough to live on, but couldn’t withstand having a troublemaking son like Jian Long, so life was a bit tough.
Even after so many years, the family has never given up trying to take back the money Jian Dan took, shouldn’t it be kept from outsiders?
Bo Qin almost never appeared in the media, and the shortsighted members of the Bo Family naturally didn’t know Bo Qin’s identity, only that he was probably doing well, quite rich. But no matter how wealthy, he still coveted the tens of thousands on Jian Dan, plus she sold her house in Feng City, so at least three million would be in hand.
Three million, who wouldn’t want it if they saw it?
Jian Long glanced at his parents’ expressions and nodded, "Yes, she brought a girl with her. I think she’s good; isn’t it just at the age for me to get married? Mom and Dad, I think you can make arrangements. That girl is my type."
Jian Long’s looks are above average, not ugly, but his demeanor was much more sleazy.
If you call him a hooligan, nobody would doubt it.
His mother listened with shining eyes, "You say you like the girl who came with Jian Dan, do you mean it, you want to get married?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
Jian Long chuckled, mysteriously whispered in his mother’s ear, "Mom, if you can help me marry that girl, I’ll make sure you have a grandson as fast as possible."
His mother smiled so widely her eyes turned into slits, "That’s what you said, you can’t go back on your word."
"Yes, yes, that’s what I said, I said it."
Jian Ci still thought it was inappropriate, "But the girl must agree with this first, what era do we live in now, are forced marriages even a thing these days? If she calls the police, do you want to end up spending a few days there?"
Jian Long’s mom felt a little intimidated but quickly regained her resolve, "Then we’ll just go talk to Jian Dan, can’t she convince her friend? If Jian Dan doesn’t agree, watch me beat her, that ingratiating girl, who fled with so much money, and doesn’t even show filial piety when she comes back every year. Does she even have any conscience?"
Jian Long agreed, "Exactly, exactly, this is what she owes our family, otherwise, our business would have been bigger by now."
Jian Ci felt something was wrong, but as he looked at his wife and son’s determined faces, he couldn’t find a reasonable argument. That year Jian Dan walked away with so much money without leaving them a penny, it was outrageous, he also hadn’t forgotten how his daughter was yelled at by that man.
Who does he think he is, really thought he was something.
...
The calculations on her uncle’s side, Jian Dan didn’t know, nor did she want to know. She and Lai Wei rested in the hotel all afternoon, then took Lai Wei out for breakfast. Not many places were open outside, the year-end holiday hadn’t passed yet, everywhere was quiet and desolate, just picked a place that was open, Jian Dan took Lai Wei to eat some snacks, braised ribs, fried chicken, and fruit salad.
Braised ribs were Jian Dan’s favorite snack since childhood, she would occasionally have Aunt Lin make them at home, but couldn’t replicate the taste of Feng City. Every year when she came back, she would come to eat, and when leaving, if she found any, she would take some with her.
Today, luck was good, she could still eat braised ribs.
She introduced to Lai Wei, "When I was a kid, my dad often went out on assignments, we met only for a month every year, that was my happiest time;"
"When my mom was giving birth to me, she died in childbirth, dad felt guilty towards me, guilty towards mom, so he doubled his affection for me;"
