The old man is so stubborn!
Jian You pouted, her expression a little impatient, like a rebellious child who wouldn't listen.
Seeing her like this on the phone, Old Jian's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.
"You come back here right now! I'll talk to them."
How did she become like this after not keeping an eye on her for a while? And judging by the situation, she had already interacted with quite a few people, not just people, but also various tasks.
It's true that what you fear will come to pass...
Four months ago...
A fisherman from this place found her floating at sea while on a foreign trade voyage. He initially thought she was dead, but when he brought her aboard, he discovered she still had a breath of life, so he took her back to be treated.
It was at this time that he noticed the difference in her physique and understood that she had drunk the secret medicine that had been lost for many years.
He lived in constant fear, in seclusion, living a low-key and ordinary life here.
He also treated people for free to wash away all his sins, and perhaps Heaven pitied him and sent this girl to him.
However, at the same time, he also discovered that she had another medicine in her body. This medicine could affect a person's mind and was extremely potent. Her condition seemed to have reached the late stage, and in severe cases, she could become a killing tool.
But what worried him wasn't this, but his medicine.
If one medicine could confuse a person's mind, then this one gave her a strong physique.
This medicine was unremarkable, but its effects became very apparent during major events. Moreover, it had a characteristic: using it in childhood would amplify its effects to the extreme, as an adult's roots and bones had already matured.
It could be said that those trained from childhood, except for fatal wounds, could basically not be defeated by anything.
Therefore, this medicine was particularly popular in some upper-level organizations...
However, this medicine could not be used on very young children, as he did not know what side effects it might have.
Now that Jian You possessed both of these, the lethality was imaginable. If she grew up, she would reach a height that no one could achieve, and if she lost control, it would be a disaster, especially if exploited by malicious individuals...
He had been struggling with his decision when he saved her, fearing that his decision would harm someone.
So, Old Jian was now very troubled. He spent more than half a month developing an antidote, the characteristic of which was that when it took effect, the person would become very indifferent.
This medicine varied from person to person. Those who were unemotional and lacked feelings might recover faster, while those who were overly emotional or kind would recover more slowly.
She clearly belonged to the latter category...
Also, this medicine must avoid contact with violent things, otherwise, it might reawaken the violent factors within the body, which was why he didn't allow Jian You to get involved in high-level matters.
Jian You had no idea about Old Jian's struggles. She was angry and about to argue when her phone was suddenly snatched away. She looked up to see Normanis looking very angry.
"Old Jian, I respectfully call you Old Jian because of your high prestige, but what have you done?!"
Old Jian fell silent as he looked at the person who suddenly appeared on the video.
"She will stay here from now on, and I will take good care of her. Thank you for your hospitality during this time, Old Jian. I will personally thank you another day!"
After saying this, Normanis hung up. His breathing was still uneven, indicating how much he cared if he was this angry.
He suddenly turned his head to look at the girl beside him, "Is this how he usually treats you?"
Jian You found it very perplexing. The old man hadn't done anything to her. Why was Normanis so angry?
"Isn't he just afraid I'll meet bad people?"
Even if he was afraid of her encountering trouble, he shouldn't isolate her from people! Normanis could not agree with Old Jian's approach.
"From now on... I will protect you. You can do whatever you want..."
Jian You avoided his gaze and then turned away, "I've tried on the clothes, they fit. Let's go."
Without waiting for Normanis to react, Jian You returned to her room on her own and sat on the bed. She could still feel her heart pounding...
After Jian You left, Normanis paced back and forth in the room before finally going out. The door... no longer needed to be locked. It felt so good to have his daughter back...
Returning to their master bedroom next door, he found Yao Qianya staring at him with a profound expression.
"What's wrong, Qianya?"
Normanis closed the door behind him and slowly walked to the bedside.
Yao Qianya pulled Normanis to her side and then slowly asked the question that had been bothering her all night. Clearly, she had been thinking about it since returning to her room.
"Why did you give Duoduo's card to Jian You?"
Normanis raised his eyebrows, surprised that his wife had found out, "Soon, you'll know soon. See if there's anything missing. We'll leave tomorrow night and arrive the morning after next."
Seeing his wife's continued displeasure, he had no choice but to say, "I'll tell you the day after tomorrow." I hope she won't be too shocked.
Yao Qianya was helpless but could only accept it. Aman had his principles, but it made her too curious. Her first reaction wasn't blame, but a strange sense of bewilderment.
Seeing him go to wash up, Yao Qianya could only pack her things. Since she was going back to her parents' house, she didn't need to bring much, just some jewelry and gifts.
As it was nearing midnight, Normanis and Yao Qianya came out. Normanis went straight to Jian You's room and gently knocked on her door, "Jian You, are you asleep?"
Jian You's eyes snapped open. She picked up her phone and checked the time. 11:50. What business did he have with her now?
"Click~"
Seeing that Jian You was already dressed, Normanis took her hand and led her towards the door. As they passed the living room, the whole family was there.
"Mom and Dad, why are you up too?"
Normanis seemed puzzled. They usually went straight to sleep.
The old man casually glanced at Jian You, his voice seemingly absentminded, but those who knew him well knew he was very relaxed at this moment, "Our family has a new member, haven't we?"
Normanis smiled without saying anything and pulled Jian You outside.
Their riddles left the remaining few somewhat confused.
"These are fireworks I specifically had prepared. It was short notice, so I couldn't get anything better. You'll set them off this year."
Jian You thought they called her out for something else. It turned out to be for setting off fireworks. But weren't there people all around? Was it safe for her to set them off?
However, she still took the lighter from Normanis and stepped forward. She enjoyed doing this!
But she didn't see Normanis's eyes filled with doting behind her, nor the tears in the old lady's eyes...
