Early the next morning, Cao Aiqian walked downstairs and saw a scene he had never seen before.
Cao Kouwen was sitting on the leather sofa, one slender white leg resting on top of the other, his posture casual and lazy.
Watch her come down and meet her eyes, with bloodshot eyes.
Then he looked down at the second mother and daughter who were sitting opposite him and crying.
Zhang Chengyun's eyes were red, his nose was red, and he looked aggrieved.
She walked up to Cao Kouwen and choked with sobs: "Uncle, please?"
Her voice sounded a little hoarse, and her eyes were red and swollen, making her look like a wounded deer, which was lovable.
Cao Kouwen frowned and said, "You want me to help you get into Sengkang University just because of a man?"
Zhang Chengyun's face turned red and she bit her lip without saying a word.
Cao Kouwen glared at her displeasedly: "You are looking for death!"
Zhang Chengyun was startled, looking at him with tearful eyes, and said in a crying voice: "I...not for..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Chengfang interrupted in displeasure: "Kou Wen, how can you scold your niece? Yoona is your only close niece. Besides, you can let...an adopted daughter go to such an expensive school."
When she said the last few words, her voice was extremely low, and she obviously lacked confidence.
Cao Kouwen didn't hear the last few words she said clearly. He just held his forehead with a headache and waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, I want to hear what Cheng Yun said."
"Uncle...I'm not doing it for a boy like my mother said, I'm doing it for a better future for myself." Zhang Chengyun bit his lower lip and moved half a step.
She knew that if Li Chengfang honestly told Cao Kouwen his original intention to go to Sengkang University, he would never agree.
However, if you put it another way, with more inspirational words, it might make it easier for your uncle to accept it.
Cao Kouwen narrowed his eyes and stared at her, snorting coldly: "For your own future? You can even tell such a lie."
Zhang Chengyun was stunned by Cao Kouwen's attitude.
Li Chengfang supported from the side: "Yes, yes, if Yoona can enter Sengkang University and find a high salary in the future, my mother and daughter can also reduce your burden..."
Cao Kowen looked at her impatiently. If Zhang Chengyun can really get into Sengkang University, and then marry the boy she likes, or let her find a good job with her academic qualifications, she will indeed get rid of this annoying burden. .
He glanced at Zhang Chengyun. She was wearing casual clothes, with big, watery eyes, curved eyelashes, and thin lips. She looked very beautiful. She was a very popular girl in school.
He sighed and said helplessly: "Let me think about it."
After Cao Aiqian came down, she dived into the kitchen to watch Aunt Liu cooking.
Aunt Liu came out of the kitchen carrying the last plate of food and looked at everyone with a smile.
"Let's eat~"
Upon seeing this, Li Chengfang stood up immediately, pulled Zhang Chengyun over, and sat down at the dining table.
Cao Kouwen also stood up from the sofa and looked at Cao Aiqian with complicated eyes.
After dinner, Li Chengfang took Zhang Chengyun out for a walk. Cao Kowen knew that the two would not leave until they achieved their goals.
Aunt Liu was busy in the kitchen, and Cao Aiqian went back to her room.
Just as he was about to close the door, a big hand blocked the door.
Cao Aiqian raised her head and met Cao Kouwen's dark eyes. He stared at her as if waiting for something.
"What are you doing?" Cao Aiqian frowned.
He stretched out his left arm against the door: "I ask you why you sold the necklace I gave you."
Cao Aiqian was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be calm and pursed his lips, lowered his head guiltily and said nothing.
There is only one voice in the brain: How does he know?
Seeing her like this, Cao Kouwen's face turned even darker: "Tell me!"
His gaze was too sharp and intimidating, and Cao Aiqian couldn't bear it. She gritted her teeth and said, "I want to change some money to invest in Aba."
Hearing her reasons, Cao Kouwen was so angry that he loosened his arms: "Humph, just to invest in a broken company..."
He spoke with indignation, as if he was the one being abandoned.
Cao Kouwen felt a pain in his heart, but he suppressed his emotions: "You want to invest in Aba, I have already invested for you, why do you still want to sell the necklace."
Cao Aiqian's eyes flickered, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
After a long while, she muttered in a low voice: "You didn't help with the investment at that time."
Cao Kouwen: "..."
He sneered, "If that's the case, then I'll get my investment back."
After Cao Kouwen finished speaking, he turned around and left. His back was to her and his expression could not be seen clearly.
Cao Aiqian was anxious and quickly grabbed his clothes: "No, you withdrew your capital, Aba is really going to go bankrupt."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have sold the necklace without telling you." Cao Aiqian lowered her head and apologized quietly.
Her voice was low, but it was enough for Cao Kouwen to hear clearly.
He stopped, took a deep breath, and turned around.
Cao Aiqian still lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
Cao Kouwen approached her: "Do you know, I am very angry."
"Huh?" Cao Aiqian blinked doubtfully.
Cao Kouwen's eyes became dark and profound: "I never thought that you would throw away the gift I gave you so casually."
He said and held her shoulders firmly.
Cao Aiqian was so frightened that she shrank back, but he held her tightly and she couldn't break free.
She looked at him in panic: "I didn't mean it...I will pay you back."
"You did it on purpose!" he growled.
Cao Aiqian: "..."
"You think I can't see it, you don't take it to heart at all." His tone was full of anger.
"...I..." Cao Aiqian cried in fright.
Cao Aiqian thought he was angry because others took the gift he gave him lightly.
Cao Kouwen looked at her distressedly, his eyes became much gentler, he sighed softly, and held her in his arms.
"Fool, I don't care about this necklace. What I care about is your attitude."
"I'm sorry." Cao Aiqian choked.
Cao Kouwen stroked her black and smooth hair, "I don't want you to say sorry."
He said and looked at her, her dark eyes reflecting her pretty face: "I can help you with anything, but I don't want you to carry the burden alone."
His words shocked Cao Aiqian.
She raised her head to look at him in disbelief, but she ran into his deep pupils.
He stared at her seriously.
His voice was suddenly so gentle and magnetic that she almost fell into it.
"So, please cherish what I give you in the future, okay?" Cao Kouwen asked.
Cao Aiqian nodded blankly, unable to think or know how to answer.
"Be good." Cao Kouwen rubbed her soft hair.
This action made Cao Aiqian's heart beat faster, and her cheeks turned red unconsciously.
Cao Kouwen took out the jewelry box from his suit pocket and placed it in front of her.
Cao Aiqian opened the lid of the box in a daze.
The exquisite diamond pendant that she had originally sold was lying quietly inside.
Cao Kowen slightly curved the corners of his lips, stretched out his long white fingers to put on the necklace for her, and then kissed her forehead gently.
"Don't take it off next time!" He told her, his domineering yet gentle words made Cao Aiqian's heart tremble.
She lowered her head and nodded solemnly.
