Jian Xi stood at the door of the study and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Huo Yanqing's deep voice came from the room.
Jian Xi pushed the door open and entered.
Huo Yanqing looked up at Jian Xi and lowered his head to continue reading the document in his hand. "What's the matter?"
"I want to talk to you."
Huo Yanqing's slender fingers pinched the footer and flipped to a page. His gaze was still on the document in his hand. "If you're persuading me to leave Xin 'er, then there's nothing to talk about between us."
"No."
Huo Yanqing put down the document in his hand and looked up at Jian Xi for two seconds. He got up and walked around the desk to the sofa as he said, "Have a seat."
After the two of them sat down, Jian Xi didn't speak. Huo Yanqing wasn't in a hurry either. He crossed his legs casually and his posture was relaxed as he waited for her to speak.
After a moment of silence, Jian Xi seemed to have made a big decision. She looked straight at Huo Yanqing. "You're going abroad with Shuxin, right?"
Huo Yanqing's handsome brows furrowed slightly. His deep gaze met Jian Xi's. "Reason?"
"Before everyone knows about my relationship with Shuxin, we should leave this troublesome place quickly."
Huo Yanqing raised his eyebrows slightly. "So you've changed your mind now. Instead of persuading us to separate, you're persuading us to leave together?"
Jian Xi and Huo Yanqing didn't interact much and Huo Yanqing was good at hiding his emotions. She couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry from his words and actions. "Since you don't want to separate from Shuxin, leaving is the best way. It's good for everyone."
"Who's everyone?" Huo Yanqing's expression was indifferent.
"You, Shuxin, Family Huo, Shu Family." Jian Xi continued, "Don't worry. I've lived in America for five years. I still have some connections there. I can arrange things for you in advance. You won't be too unfamiliar when you go over."
Huo Yanqing stood up and said, "Get out. I still have work to do."
Jian Xi also stood up. "Are you disagreeing?"
"Isn't it obvious enough?"
"Why?" Jian Xi didn't understand. "This method is good for everyone. Why don't you agree?"
Huo Yanqing put his hands in his pockets, turned around and looked at Jian Xi coldly. "Xin 'er is different from you. She values and cherishes her family. She won't abandon them for her own selfish desires."
Jian Xi's face turned pale. Huo Yanqing's words were very obvious. He was saying that she abandoned Shuxin and Shu Youkang for her own selfish desires. "Why are you all pushing the blame to me when I'm the one who was hurt?"
"I won't comment on who's right or wrong between you and Shu Youkang. But you're wrong about Xin 'er. You're not worthy of being her mother. You abandoned her when she was young. Now, you're afraid that she'll affect your husband's family's reputation. First, you persuaded me to leave her. Now, you're persuading me to take her away. Maybe you think that you're already giving in by helping us, but I think that you're just using another selfish method."
Light footsteps sounded outside the door.
Huo Yanqing frowned and looked at the door. "Who's at the door?"
Jian Xi's hearing wasn't as sensitive as Huo Yanqing's. When she heard that there was someone at the door, panic appeared in her eyes. She turned to look at the door. The door was pushed open from the outside and Huo Jibai appeared at the door.
The shock and disbelief on his face made Jian Xi feel that something was wrong. She suppressed the huge waves in her heart and squeezed out a smile as she walked towards him. "Xiao Bai, why are you looking for your Fifth Uncle?"
