Chapter 1352: Chapter 1353: Are You in a Relationship?
"After all, quite a few people in Capital City are aware of her connection to our family, and itâs not good to let her keep staying at the hotel, so I had her move in. That room is the largest and suitable for a girl to live in, and since youâre rarely home, it wonât affect you."
Qin Jun stared at her expression, noticed Jiang Chenyue didnât want to continue this topic, and diverted his eyes, saying in a relaxed manner, "If she lives on the first floor and not the second, of course it doesnât affect me; unless she moves to the second floor, one more person here doesnât make a difference to me. Aunt likes her; keeping her around to alleviate boredom is fine. But she has quite the ambition; Aunt should be careful around her. Some little snakes seem insignificant and look like they could be squashed with a simple step. But these kinds of snakes, if youâre not careful and get bitten by one, itâs quite an unpleasant experience."
Jiang Chenyue furrowed her brows, scolding him in dissatisfaction, "Chu Xi isnât that kind of person, she..."
Speaking of Chu Xi, she felt irritated and restless.
If this girl truly was her Xi, she didnât even know how to start liking her anymore.
But in the end, this child becoming what she is now had a lot to do with her own inadvertent actions. If she hadnât been taken away by that ulterior-minded woman, she wouldnât have grown up to be so crooked. Even if everyone else despised her, she, as a mother, should protect her.
Deep down, Jiang Chenyue knew what she should do, but it felt as though someone was choking her, unable to go against her conscience to defend Chu Xi. It took her a long while to squeeze out a sentence with a flickering expression, "Itâs normal for young girls to be a bit ambitious, sheâs not as bad as you say."
"Itâs normal for young girls to have ambitions, but sheâs different; her ambitions go beyond whatâs normal, and her self-assumed cleverness is quite annoying."
Jiang Chenyue rolled her eyes at him, saying with exasperation, "Itâs not like you need to like her, youâre such a busybody every day!"
Seeing how Jiang Chenyue defended Chu Xi, Qin Jun originally intended to go along and tell her about Chu Xiâs background. But then he thought about how Jiang Chenyue had been longing to find her daughter for so long; they had searched for so long without success, and perhaps his sister had already left this world.
Although Chu Xi wasnât smart, she at least managed to deceive Jiang Chenyue this far, which was much better than those who had come before pretending to be her relative.
If he revealed the truth, he would indeed expose the real Chu Xi, but for Aunt, it would mean her newly kindled hope being shattered once again.
Qin Jun had watched Jiang Chenyue exhaust herself in the search for her daughter since he was young and understood her body was already worn out from years of searching and couldnât bear any more shocks.
What if she couldnât bear the disappointment after learning the truth and her health collapsed? Wouldnât his uncle be furious enough to kill him?
The words Qin Jun had at the tip of his tongue took a turn, morphing into a careless comment, "I wouldnât dare to fancy this type of woman, but if I had to choose one to like, Iâd prefer a âRabbitâ kind of girl. Fun, easy to keep, and even when they bite, it doesnât hurt."
A âRabbitâ kind of girl, what an odd description? Jiang Chenyue sniffed something unusual and, out of curiosity, asked him, "Are you in a relationship now?"
"What counts as a relationship?" Qin Jun put down the scissors, wiped his hands with a towel, and smiled nonchalantly, "No. Iâve just come across a playful little rabbit and gave it a few pokes, thatâs all. I am not eager to walk into a grave at such a young age."
"Whatâs this talk of graves? If marriage is a grave, with your nonchalant attitude and never taking anything seriously every day, just make sure you donât end up without a place to be buried."
