The next day
At the dinner table, Huo Jibai put down his chopsticks and looked at Huo Yanqing. "Fifth Uncle, I want to go abroad to further my studies."
Jian Xi's chopsticks fell onto the table with a thud.
Yao Huiqin only had one grandson, Huo Jibai, by his side. Even if he didn't talk to her, it was good enough to have him by her side. How could he bear to send him abroad? "Why do you want to go abroad?"
Huo Jibai didn't give Yao Huiqin a hard time. Instead, he answered obediently, "I want to learn more things."
Yao Huiqin was so happy that he couldn't hold his chopsticks properly. His tone became gentler, afraid that Huo Jibai would ignore him if he said it too loudly. "Can't you learn things in Fan City? Or you can ask your Fifth Uncle to invite a few foreign professors to teach you. It's the same. "
"That's different. The learning atmosphere is different and the things you learn are limited." After Huo Jibai answered, he asked Huo Yanqing, "Fifth Uncle, is it okay?"
Jian Xi put down her chopsticks and pulled Huo Jibai's wrist to walk out. "Come out with me."
Huo Jibai pulled his hand out and got up to leave the villa first.
Jian Xi quickly followed him out.
Huo Jibai walked all the way to the bamboo forest before stopping.
His legs were long and his strides were big. Jian Xi almost jogged all the way to catch up. She didn't bother to adjust her breathing and her words were slightly out of breath. "Why do you want to go abroad all of a sudden?"
Huo Jibai put his hands in his pockets and drooped his body, looking cynical. "Didn't I just say it? I'm going abroad to further my studies. "
Jian Xi frowned. "Speak properly."
Huo Jibai stood up straight, his gaze still drifting around. "I want to see the outside world and broaden my horizons, right?"
"You're not familiar with the place. Why are you going abroad alone?"
"Who said I'm alone?"
"Who are you going with?"
"You."
"Me?" Jian Xi pointed at herself.
Huo Jibai nodded. "Since you're worried that I'm going abroad alone, then come with me."
Jian Xi was stunned. Last night, Huo Yanqing heard her conversation with Huo Jibai and didn't come out. This morning, he went to the company with Huo Yanqing. She called him the whole day, he didn't pick up. When he came back for dinner, he suddenly said he wanted to go abroad..... because of what happened last night,, right..................
Huo Jibai restrained his playful expression and became serious. "Yes, everything has changed because of your appearance. That's why I'm leaving with you."
......... Jian Xi shook her head. Her reluctant gaze slowly wandered around. "Your father's aura is here. I want to be with him."
"Mom, you can't be so selfish." Huo Jibai's gaze deepened.
Jian Xi looked hurt. "Why are you saying that about me too? Is it wrong for me to want to be with the person I love? "
"It's not wrong, but your existence will make Shuxin and Fifth Uncle suffer. That's wrong. Shuxin is your daughter too. How can you bear to let her go abroad? She doesn't speak well and it's difficult for her to communicate overseas. Also, she's pregnant. You let a pregnant woman who's about to give birth leave her hometown. Aren't you worried that she'll be unfamiliar with the place? "
"I …" Jian Xi's face turned pale.
Huo Jibai held her shoulders. "Mom, you gave birth to her but didn't raise her. This is your dereliction of duty as a mother. If you can make her happy by leaving, it can be considered a form of compensation."
"But I …"
"I know you can't bear to part with me the most, so I'll leave with you."
