"An An! Where did you go last night? "
Her adoptive mother asked anxiously when she saw that Xia An had returned. She hadn't slept the entire night and didn't dare to call the police for fear of angering the other party. She wanted to go out to look for him but didn't know where to go. She was about to go crazy.
Xia An An saw her adoptive mother's worried face and said apologetically, "Oh, a friend was looking for me. It was an emergency so I didn't have time to call you to tell you that I was safe. I'm sorry."
"Silly child, why are you apologizing?"
Her adoptive mother wiped her tears and said, "As long as you're back safely."
Xia An An thought about the three-day deadline that Si Lijue had mentioned. That meant that tomorrow was the deadline. If she directly told her adoptive mother that she was going to Si Lijue's place, her adoptive mother would definitely not agree. She would have to find a new excuse.
"Don't go to work today. An An, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you. "
Her adoptive mother asked as she put on an apron.
Xia An An felt a lump in her throat. She quickly wiped away her tears the moment her adoptive mother turned around and forced a smile. "Mom, I want to eat sweet and sour pork tenderloin and fried shrimps."
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll make it for you."
Xia An An thought that her adoptive mother was probably the only person in the world who would truly treat her well.
Her adoptive mother had always hoped that Si Lijue would find a rich young lady of equal social status. This was enough to kill her. Xia An An also gave up completely. She had to control her heart and cut off any possibility of being with Si Lijue.
However, he probably didn't like her anymore.
During dinner, Xia An An observed her adoptive mother's expression for a while. After confirming that she was in a good mood, she said, "Mom, I actually have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
Her adoptive mother asked.
Xia An An put down her chopsticks and said, "Actually, the company has an opportunity to study abroad. I want to go."
Her adoptive mother looked at Xia An An in surprise. She put down her chopsticks and said, "Oh, why so sudden? How long will it be? "
Xia An 'an didn't know how long Si Lijue was going to keep her, but it couldn't be forever, right? Maybe he would let her go if he was in a good mood. She thought for a moment and then said, "About half a year."
"So long?"
Her adoptive mother said reluctantly, "An An. Is it hard for you to be alone abroad?"
"No, I'm good at languages. As long as there's no problem with communication, I don't think it will be too difficult overseas." Xia An 'an comforted her.
His adoptive mother said, "Must we go? An An, Mom doesn't need you to be so promising. Don't tire yourself out. "
Xia An 'an felt extremely guilty. Her adoptive mother was so concerned about her, but she actually lied to her. She was really too bad. But Xia An didn't want to see Si Lijue and her adoptive mother argue again. If her adoptive mother knew that she was leaving with Si Lijue, it wouldn't be good for either of them. Her voice was hoarse as she said in a deep voice, "This is a rare opportunity. I don't want to give it up. Also, you know my conditions.
It's impossible to find a good home in the future if I don't have the capital. I also want to do my best to enrich myself. "
Her adoptive mother heard and asked, "Then you and Yan Yang …"
"It's impossible between me and Yan Yang. His family is also arranging blind dates for him. Mom, don't interact with Yan Yang anymore. It's not good for either of us." She sighed and said regretfully, "actually, I feel that the child is really good. He's frank and has no prejudice against you. If you two are together, he should be able to take good care of you. Maybe his parents really don't like him." She sighed and said regretfully, "actually, I feel that the child is really good. He's frank and has no prejudice against you.
Our family … "
"It's fine if others don't like us. We just have to live our own lives."
Xia An picked up a prawn for her adoptive mother and said, "Mom, eat."
"Okay."
Her adoptive mother nodded and asked, "Then when are you going to study? I'll prepare some things for you. It's different overseas. Whether it's the food or lifestyle, it's different from here. You have to prepare well. "
Xia An ate her food and said, "It's okay. The company has already arranged it. You don't have to bring anything. Also, I'm leaving tomorrow."
Her adoptive mother was shocked when she heard this. "So soon?"
"I know it's very sudden. It means that the company is taking this study very seriously. Mom, you don't have to worry."
Her adoptive mother didn't expect that the mother and daughter would be separated again after such a short time. She said, "Then, I'll send you off tomorrow."
Xia An froze when she heard this. She immediately said, "It's okay. I'll be waking up very early tomorrow. You don't have to send me off. I'm already so old."
"But …"
"Mom, I want you to rest well. Don't worry. I'll call you when I arrive."
"Okay then …"
Seeing that Xia An was so insistent, her adoptive mother could only compromise.
After Xia An was sure that her adoptive mother believed her, she breathed a sigh of relief. She shoveled her food into her mouth and said, "Mom, I'll have to trouble you with the dishes. I'll go pack my things."
"Oh, okay."
Her adoptive mother asked, "Do you need my help?"
"It's okay. I'll call you if I need help."
Xia An returned to her room.
Her adoptive mother looked at her back and a hint of loneliness flashed across her eyes. She sighed slightly and started to pack the dishes.
The next day.
Xia An An dragged a heavy box downstairs. In order not to arouse her adoptive mother's suspicion, she woke up very early. However, it wasn't the time they agreed on. Xia An An dragged the box and sat by the flower bed outside the neighborhood.
Early in the morning.
The children who went to school had already set off one after another. There were also many old people who were doing morning exercises. Xia An An looked at those people in a daze, but she felt that she didn't fit in with these people. It was as if she couldn't blend in no matter what.
The morning breeze blew, and her hair swayed in the wind, covering half of the scar on her face. From afar, she was a rather outstanding beauty.
This neighborhood was at the level of a slum even in Shui City. There were fish and dragons mixed together, and there wasn't even a security guard in the neighborhood. Usually, there would occasionally be some hooligans appearing early in the morning or late at night.
A group of people dressed ostentatiously, and some of them even looked like punks, walked over slowly. When the people who set up stalls by the roadside saw them, their expressions changed. They quickly took out money and smiled at them. Those people also took a few steamed buns and fried dough sticks.
When Xia An An saw this scene, she felt an indescribable sense of boredom.
She didn't want to cause trouble, so she got up and dragged the box to leave. However, she didn't expect that group of people had already targeted her.
Just as she was about to leave, those people surrounded her and said with a smile, "Miss, why are you dragging a box so early in the morning? Are you looking for someone? We brothers are the most familiar with this place. Shall we take you there? "
"No need."
Xia An An said in a low voice.
She dragged the box and was about to leave. Those people blocked her way and said, "Why are you so cold? Are you looking down on us? Ah! "
Xia An An frowned and said, "No."
"Then come with us!"
A hooligan said and was about to grab Xia An An's hand, but Xia An An avoided him. She said, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do!"
"Don't be so shameless. Let me tell you! Our big brother is the boss of Shui City! "
