Chapter 957: Chapter 954 Unwilling to be the Weak

So no matter how he disparaged Yan Bo, his trust in Yan Bo had never changed.

To avoid being blackmailed by anyone, the key is to be powerful enough.

This was the main point Tong Xiaohua gathered from her father’s words because her father believed in Yan Bo’s potential to become powerful, and thus, he didn’t think that Yan Family’s background or his parents’ opinions could threaten or influence Yan Bo.

And like a wake-up call, her father’s words snapped the dispirited Xiaohua back to reality.

Yan Bo was undoubtedly a strong man, but what about her? Should she just contentedly hide behind him, being the protected weakling?

Or, like this time, should she not retreat into self-pity after hearing someone objectively comment on his background and family circumstances, but instead actively strive to fight for this relationship and narrow the distance between them as much as possible?

Admittedly, no one can change their family background, as no one can choose where they are born.

But much of what comes afterward is within our control.

Even someone like Yan Bo, who was seen as born with a silver spoon, worked hard and didn’t waste his life just because his parents were powerful.

So shouldn’t someone like her, from an ordinary family, strive several times harder? She might not catch up to him, but at least, she shouldn’t let the gap between them be so vast!

Fully awakened, Tong Xiaohua pried herself from her mother’s embrace, kissed her mother on the face, then leaned over to kiss her father loudly on his.

"Dad, Mom, thank you!"

The gloom had clearly lifted, and Tong Xiaohua, with a smile on her face, lightly jogged back to her room.

Tong’s mother watched her slip into the room with satisfaction, then turned to glare at Tong’s father.

"How come you didn’t tell me about the things happening in Xiao Yan’s family?"

Tong’s father calmed her down, "Isn’t it because I didn’t want you to overthink and worry?"

Tong’s mother gave him another look, "Still, it’s unexpected that Xiao Hua would come around so quickly. I thought she would be stuck dwelling on it for quite a while."

Tong’s father boasted with pride, "Isn’t it because of my convincing words? When I saw how defeated she looked coming back, I knew something had happened. But our daughter isn’t someone who gives up so easily, is she?"

Although Tong’s father seemed unruffled, Tong’s mother, being a woman, naturally thought things through more thoroughly than he did.

"Yun Xiang, do you think we should pay a visit to the Yan Family first?" Tong’s mother was asking for her husband’s opinion, but before he could reply, she had already begun to ponder the feasibility of the visit.

"I don’t have any relations with the Yan Family, but I have a good sister who could help. Should I give it a try?"

Tong’s father didn’t look very pleased, but considering it was his wife, he didn’t dare to rebut her loudly. After a short pause, he said, "Let’s not, their son is their treasure, but isn’t our daughter a treasure too? Why should we be the ones to visit first? If this needs to be done, shouldn’t the man’s family be the ones to do it first?"

Tong’s father didn’t care about what the Yan Family thought; all that mattered was that Yan Bo was good to his daughter.

Moreover, if Yan Bo had the courage to pursue his daughter yet lacked the determination to bring her happiness and clear obstacles for her, what future could they talk about?

Although Tong’s mother wanted to persuade him, Tong’s father could be stubborn to a fearful extent on some matters. In the end, she respected his opinion. For now, they would leave it to the two young people to handle themselves. After all, they were still very young.

After returning to her room, Tong Xiaohua took her phone, stepped onto the balcony, and leaned on the railing as she dialed Yan Bo’s number.

The phone was picked up after just one ring, "Xiao Hua!"

Yan Bo’s voice was full of surprise; clearly, he had not expected Tong Xiaohua to call him so soon.

"Where are you now? Are you with Tao Jia?"

At this moment, Tong Xiaohua was filled with regret and guilt. She had promised Yan Bo to take good care of Tao Jia and show her around, yet she let her emotions get the better of her upon hearing some unexpected news.

"We had just finished dinner at the restaurant and were wondering where to go next."

The itinerary for Tao Jia’s visit over the next two days had been her responsibility, as Tong Xiaohua, a true local, had assured Yan Bo and Tao Jia that she would handle everything, only for her to run off by herself at noon, leaving Yan Bo unable to decide where to go next.

"Yan Bo, I’m sorry!"

After hearing her father’s words, Tong Xiaohua felt deeply ashamed of her own unfounded cowardice and hesitation.

"Xiao Hua, keeping the family matters from you was my fault, I am the one who should be saying sorry!"

Yan Bo seemed very surprised. After all, just a few hours ago, Tong Xiaohua had been extremely upset, pleading for him to give her time to think things over.

Tong Xiaohua didn’t intend to beat around the bush on this issue. Anyway, she had thoroughly thought it through and would not waver or get hung up on it any longer.

As for how to face and plan for the future, she was confident that Yan Bo would be working through it with her, so there was no need for excessive concern.

"Yan Bo, we both made mistakes, let’s set this issue aside for now, we’ll talk when we meet. Give me the address now, and I’ll have the driver pick you up."

Since she had come to terms with the situation, it was time to make good on her promise to entertain Tao Jia.

"You’re joining us for fun outside?" Yan Bo probably thought he had heard wrong, his tone filled with surprise.

"Yes, I was originally planning to take Jiajia to Lullaby KTV for fun, or we could go to a bar. You and Jiajia can discuss it, see where you’d like to go?"

In the end, Tao Jia and Yan Bo both decided to go to KTV to sing. Concerned about tiring Tong Xiaohua, Yan Bo asked for the KTV’s address and he and Tao Jia took a cab there.

Tong Xiaohua had chosen the KTV closest to the Yan Family, so Yan Bo and Tao Jia arrived there before her.

As soon as the two entered the lobby, the KTV manager hurried over to greet them.

"Young Master Yan the Third, Miss Tao, please come this way!"

Tao Jia, not in on the situation, tugged at Yan Bo’s arm and whispered teasingly, "It looks like you’ve become the local tyrant in the half-year you’ve been here?"

Yan Bo just smiled at her and did not explain.

The manager led them to a VIP room, served them drinks, and after making sure they were taken care of, swiftly left.

Once only Yan Bo and Tao Jia were left in the private room, Yan Bo dropped a bombshell.

"Jiajia, I’m not a local tyrant, this is actually my first time here."

Tao Jia didn’t believe it, "How is that possible? That person was very respectful towards you just now!"

"Because this KTV is owned by Xiao Hua’s family!"

Tao Jia, who had been sipping iced water, spat it out all over the floor in surprise.

"You’re saying this place belongs to Xiao Hua’s family?"

She had always thought that Tong Xiaohua was just an ordinary university student.

"Yeah, not just this one, there are at least a dozen KTVs like this one owned by Xiao Hua’s family, and the bar she was originally planning to take you to is also part of their business."
