Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 614 Finn's Refusal

In the evening, Finn spent two hours in the gym, sweating all over, but still felt unsatisfied.

The facilities at home are limited and cannot be compared with professional military training grounds. He is a highly self-disciplined person and will not do nothing and completely relax even on vacation.

I should go to my father's military command tomorrow, Finn thought to himself.

As I wiped the sweat off my face and headed to the bathroom, the light-up computer on my wrist suddenly flickered to life. I opened it and saw a new friend request.

Finn was about to skip it and go back, but his eyes suddenly swept across the note below: Hello senior, I am Su Mang, and I have something to say to you about what happened during the day and about Wei'er.

Finn thought for a few seconds, pressed the "Agree" button, then closed the page and went into the bathroom.

Five minutes later, there were already five unread reminders.

After taking a few gulps of ice water, Finn sat on the bed and began to read from top to bottom.

[Senior, I'm really sorry about what happened today. I didn't know Mom would say that. This wasn't my intention at all. Maybe I'm not very good with words and didn't express myself clearly. Mom was really worried about me. You know, we've been apart for a long time.]

"I never thought about asking for anything in return. When I saw the gangster pointing a gun at you, I didn't have time to think too much. My body moved instinctively. Afterwards, I was very scared, but mostly happy because you and Wei'er were fine."

[I'm the oldest child in the family, and I've always been the one taking care of others. Seeing Wei'er have so many older brothers, I was really envious and couldn't help but want to get close to the senior. I thought this would be an opportunity for us to become friends, but I didn't expect...]

I was emotionally devastated and filled with guilt and self-blame until my family told me, "Tears are useless; communication is the only way to solve problems." So I mustered up the courage to express my inner feelings.

[Senior hasn't replied yet, is he busy? I hope I didn't disturb you...]

Finn finished browsing, pulled out his keyboard, and began tapping away.

I received your apology. Is there anything else?

The other side replied quickly, as if they were waiting for it.

【Ah, Senior! 】

【I’m so happy you’re still willing to talk to me (smiley face emoji)】

【Actually, there is one more thing.】

After everyone left, Dad questioned the man again. He admitted everything and apologized sincerely. I told Wei'er about this, but she didn't react. I guess she's still angry that I didn't stand by her side...

"I just felt it was wrong to say anything unsure, but it hurt her feelings. If only I had been braver and stood up for her. Unfortunately, it's too late now."

She won't reply to my messages, and no matter how much I apologize, she remains unmoved (sad emoji)... I wanted to give her an apology gift, but Uncle Seaforth said that... So, could you please give it to her for me, senior?

I don't want to alienate each other because of a small matter, nor do I want her to be unhappy about it forever.

Su Mang's words seemed flawless, and Finn actually thought about it seriously, but the conclusion he came to in the end was: it's not worth it.

He had never heard Wei'er mention this friend, so he didn't know how close their friendship was. He also didn't know whether Wei'er was just being angry or was serious about this matter.

If it was the former, even if he didn't help, Wei'er would calm down after a while. Even if he did, his role in it wouldn't be worth Wei'er's gratitude.

If it was the latter, he would be courting disaster and would likely be the target of outrage. He might even be misunderstood as "taking sides" and pleading for the opposing side. Not only would that not only be of no benefit, but it would also hurt Wei'er.

In short, this was a situation where the risks far outweighed the benefits. Besides being a military reservist, he was also a businessman. How could he possibly do such a thing?

So Finn refused with just one sentence -

【cannot. 】

Turning around, he sent a message to Xu Weiwei:

[Do you have time tomorrow afternoon? Want to stretch your legs?]

Five minutes passed and there was no response from the other side.

Finn guessed that the other party might not have seen it. After all, he knew how busy Sally was.

Is he reading a report, preparing a lesson, or seeing a patient?

Many possibilities flashed through Finn's mind, but politeness and propriety made him accustomed to stopping at the right point and not asking too many questions.

Putting the chat aside for the moment, he opened the file sent by the group's general assistant and started browsing.

It's easy to lose track of time when you're focused on something. By the time Finn finished approving the last plan, it was already 11:30 p.m.

During this period, his light brain did not ring once.

I opened the dialog box and saw that the last message was sent by him an hour ago.

Finn couldn't help but frown: It's been so long, why don't you take a rest?

His finger hovered over the voice call button, hesitating for a few seconds before retracting it and switching to typing. He typed and deleted, over and over again. After a few times, Finn sighed, took off his laptop, and tossed it to the end of the bed. Then he lay down and forced himself to close his eyes.

He himself is a person who will not give up until he achieves his goal. Why should he ask others to slow down just because of his meaningless worry?

How else could he help her? He'd taken on all the management and operations he could, but those were just minor details. He couldn't help with the truly demanding scientific research.

Equipment: The Seaforth family was wealthy, and the institute had everything it needed. As for manpower, was there a greater concentration of talent than Dawn University? His connections in this area weren't even as good as Selwyn's.

The more Finn thought about it, the more withdrawn he became. For the first time, he had the thought, "I'm so useless..."

However, what he didn't know was that Xu Weiwei was not busy at her desk until late at night as he thought.

She just fell asleep.

I fell asleep earlier than usual, at ten o'clock, and only a dozen minutes passed before Finn sent me the message.

It’s not Finn’s fault that she was biased. She was often busy until late, but today was an exception.

The "shock" was very stressful. The situation during the day was too urgent. Her CPU was almost burning out. Her energy was greatly depleted and she was not fully refreshed. Naturally, she could not hold on until that late.

In addition, she was not idle after she came back. She had to participate in teaching, collective meetings, and group meetings.

Xu Weiwei fell asleep more efficiently today than ever before. It can be said that she just touched the pillow one second and lost consciousness the next, experiencing what "coma-like sleep" is.
