Chapter 354 - Want to Rely on Myself (1/2)

“I… I want to rely on myself.”

Jian Yiling hesitated for a moment before she gave Jian Yuncheng an answer.

Relying on oneself was a sign of independence.

Their little girl had become independent.

However, she had become independent way too soon.

She was only fifteen. She could still be pampered and spoiled by her parents and brothers.

When she was hurt, she had the right to cry. When she was falsely accused, she still had the right to complain.

She wasn’t meant to tell them “I want to rely on myself.”

When a person’s first response was “I want to rely on myself,” it meant that in their heart, there was no one else to rely on.

Or perhaps… The people that she once relied on and trusted had let her down.

Yes, they had let her down.

And from that incident onwards, she had chosen to believe in herself.

Back then, she had the opportunity to tell them about the missing hotel surveillance video. She could have asked them to look into it.

However, she hadn’t asked them that. She chose to find the evidence and take care of everything on her own.

She stopped asking them to do anything for her. There was no need for her to ask people that she didn’t trust to do things in the first place.

After a long moment of silence, Jian Yuncheng said to Jian Yiling: “Yiling, I’ll always be here. Come to me when you need me.”

Jian Yuncheng could no longer convince Jian Yiling to listen to him. That was all he could say.

He didn’t know how long he would have to wait before he could regain Jian Yiling’s trust.

It took only a second for trust to collapse.

However, trust takes a long time to rebuild.
