Jie Jingchen blocked the doorway. Standing in the courtyard, he couldn't see what was happening inside.
"Xiao Tong has had a mind of her own since she was a child. It's less that she was influenced by you and more that she had her own plans all along. Qin Mei, my parents and I know her all too well. We don't blame you. Whatever she chooses, as long as she doesn't regret it, we will support her." It was rare for Shen Qing to say so much at once.
Qin Mei smiled. 'They had arranged for Shen Tong to study abroad, but she gave it up. She refused to listen and couldn't be swayed, so what else could they do but support her?'
"She won't let you down." That was all she could say. Qin Mei couldn't make any more promises.
Shen Qing said no more. She turned to see Jing Qi sitting back in her wheelchair, and her eyes flickered. Jing Qi smiled and shook her head at her. Shen Qing understood instantly, gave Jing Qi a nod, and strode away.
"What's wrong with Jing Qi?" Jie Jinghun asked.
