"Mom," before Jian Yu had a conflict with them, Shen Ning spoke up to stop Jian Yu, "I'll go with them. I haven't done anything, and there won't be any trouble."
Seeing her daughter's reassuring smile, Jian Yu's frown grew deeper.
Shen Ning had no idea of what Jian Yu had done in the background. Those words she thought inconsequential, believed would have no effect, were taken to heart by Jian Yu, who had acted upon them.
Perhaps it was out of habit, so the day she came back, Shen Ning spoke those words to Jian Yu.
Jian Yu was a researcher, too; Shen Ning knew that Jian Yu wouldn't act like that.
Unfortunately, Shen Ning didn't understand her own mother at all.
"If you dare to touch my daughter, I won't let it go easily," Jian Yu warned, then looked at Shen Ning, "Xiao Ning, don't be afraid. With mom here, they wouldn't dare to do anything to you."
"Mom, I'm really fine," Shen Ning, knowing she hadn't done anything, confidently went with them.
