Chapter 1344: Chapter 1344: So You’re This Amazing

Qiao Yin felt a sourness in her nose as tears welled up unconsciously, “Jiasen, you don’t have to grow up so fast. I’ll take care of you from now on. Don’t go back to Qiao Haidong anymore. You can still be a child and grow up happily.”

Jiasen reached out to wipe the tears from her face, held back, and finally pulled her into an embrace, patting her back to comfort her, “I’ve been a child for over a decade and don’t want to be one anymore. Growing up isn’t bad; I want to grow up more than anyone else. You don’t need to take care of me, I can already take care of myself.”

He was too sensible. Qiao Yin’s heart ached, and her tears fell even faster. “How old are you? How can you support yourself? Listen to me, don’t go out and work. Just focus on your studies, don’t worry about anything else. I’m making money now with the clinic, I can support you through high school without a problem!”

Jiasen patiently wiped her tears, “I’m not working anymore. Before the year ended, I took part in an international piano competition and also entered a mathematics competition overseas. I won first place in both and received almost a million in prize money.”

Qiao Yin was stunned, looking up at him in disbelief, “I knew you played the piano well, but since when did you become so good at math? Good enough to enter competitions? You’re not lying to comfort me, are you?”

“I’m not lying to you. When have I ever lied to you?”

Jiasen looked down at her, finding her silly look somewhat amusing, “I’ve always been good at math, better than piano actually, you just didn’t know it.”

Seeing that she had stopped crying, he released her and took out his phone to show her photos from the competition and his award-winning photos.

After seeing the photos, Qiao Yin still found it hard to believe. “Jiasen, you didn’t Photoshop these, right?”

Jiasen couldn’t help but tap her on the head, “You have so little faith in me? Do you want me to solve a competition problem for you right now?”

Qiao Yin, not minding the pain from the knock on her head, took out her own phone, searched online, and indeed, she saw Jiasen’s name on the competition winners’ list! The competition organizers had even posted a group photo of the winners, with Jiasen standing in the center, holding the trophy that represented first place.

She looked up at Jiasen, “You actually won the prize!”

“Do you still doubt that I Photoshopped it?”

Jiasen shook his head helplessly, pulled her to sit down on the sofa, then took a tissue to wipe her face, “Look at you, you’ve ruined your makeup from crying.”

But Qiao Yin suddenly hugged him with joy, “Jiasen, you’re so awesome! You’re a real scholar! Why didn’t you tell me sooner! I was always worried about you getting into college, but now I don’t have to worry. From now on, you can pick any university you want!”

Jiasen stiffened as she hugged him fiercely.

However, he quickly regained his composure, pulling away from Qiao Yin, “So, I don’t need you to take care of me. Do you believe me now?”

Qiao Yin laughed, shaking her head, “No way, you’re a scholar, so I have even more reason to take care of you! Raising you will bring me high returns!”

Jiasen was moved, “What kind of return do you want?”

“I haven’t decided yet, but I’m sure I won’t lose out by taking care of you. You must let me do it, understand?”

Well, all was said in vain. After all was said and done, she still wanted to take care of him.

Jiasen sighed and reluctantly nodded.

Let it be. If she wanted to support him, so be it. As she said, he wouldn’t let her lose out in the future.

A night passed, and the next morning, Qiao Yin drove to pick up Jiasen’s backpack from his house and then took him to school.

When Qiao Haidong saw Qiao Yin had switched to a brand new Porsche, he suddenly thought that letting her take care of Jiasen wasn’t such a bad idea. At least she had the money to spend on Jiasen, and having her drop Jiasen off at school gave him face in front of classmates and teachers.

As a father without even a car, he felt embarrassed that his son had to take public transport to school, and he believed this made his son feel inferior in front of his classmates.

Qiao Yin, unaware of Qiao Haidong’s inner calculations, found his attitude much better than the night before and was puzzled. Why wasn’t he making a fuss about her taking his son away?
