Jiang Sifan was starting to break down.
He felt like this was his darkest hour.
His girlfriend had cheated on him.
His sister had kept secrets from him.
His mom ran into trouble and didn't even tell him.
He felt like a complete failure.
Seeing this, Jiang Silu quickly tried to comfort him. "It's not that I didn't want to tell you, I was just afraid you'd get too worked up."
"And I'm not worked up now?" Jiang Sifan shot back.
"No, just let me explain," Jiang Silu replied. "I actually just found out a few days ago myself. Mom never told me either. Her exact words were that she didn't want her and Dad's issues to affect our studies and our lives. It's not that I didn't want to tell you. I've just been so busy these past few days working on my project for the design competition."
Hearing this, Jiang Sifan calmed down a little.
Seeing her chance, Jiang Silu lowered her voice. "I listened to you, you know. I haven't contacted Dad. But... he has been secretly helping me."
