next day
At the dinner table, Huo Jibai put down his chopsticks and looked at Huo Yanqing, "Fifth uncle, I want to study abroad."
The food on Jian Xi's chopsticks fell onto the table with a clatter.
Yao Huiqin had a grandson named Huo Jibai next to her. Even if he didn't talk to her, he would just be watching over her. How could she be willing to send her abroad? "Why do you want to go abroad?"
Huo Jibai rarely scorned Yao Huiqin, but replied calmly, "I want to learn more."
Yao Huiqin was so happy that she couldn't hold her chopsticks firmly, and her tone became gentler. She was afraid that if she spoke too loudly, Huo Jibai would ignore her again, "Isn't it okay to study in Fancheng? Or let your fifth uncle invite some foreign professors to teach you. It’s the same thing.”
"That's different. The learning atmosphere is different, and what you learn has limitations." After Huo Jibai answered, he asked Huo Yanqing, "Fifth uncle, is that okay?"
Jian Xi put down her chopsticks, took Huo Jibai's wrist and walked out, "Come out with me."
Huo Jibai took out his hand, stood up and left the villa first.
Jian Xi quickly followed out.
Huo Jibai walked all the way to the bamboo forest before stopping.
He had long legs and long steps, and Jian Xi almost jogged to keep up. She didn't bother to adjust her breath, and said with a slight gasp in her words, "Why do you want to go abroad when you are so good?"
Huo Jibai put his hands in his casual trouser pockets and slumped down with a cynical look, "Didn't I just say that? Go abroad for further study."
Jian Xi frowned and said, "Speak carefully."
Huo Jibai stood up straight, his eyes still wandering everywhere, "If you want to go out and see the outside world, it's okay to increase your knowledge, right?"
"You're not familiar with this place, why are you going abroad alone?"
"Who said I was alone?"
"Who did you make an appointment to go with?"
"You."
"Me?" Jian Xi pointed at herself.
Huo Jibai nodded, "Since you are worried about me going abroad alone and unfamiliar with the place, then you can go with me."
Jian Xi was stunned. Huo Jibai heard her conversation with Huo Yanqing last night and didn't come out after returning to the room. He went to the company with Huo Yanqing early this morning. Throughout the day, he didn't even call her when she called him. Then, when I came back for dinner in the evening, he suddenly said that he wanted to go abroad, and now he asked her to go with him, "You are because of what happened last night, right?"
Huo Jibai put away his playful expression and turned serious, "Yes, everything has changed because of your appearance, so I will leave with you."
"No, I don't want to leave." Jian Xi shook his head, his eyes of attachment slowly flowing around, "There is your father's breath here, and I want to be with him."
"Mom, you can't be so selfish." Huo Jibai's eyes darkened slightly.
Jian Xi looked hurt, "Why do you say that to me too? Is it wrong for me to want to be with the person I love?"
"It's not wrong at all, but your presence will make Shu Xin and Uncle Wu suffer, which is wrong. Shu Xin is also your daughter, how can you bear to let her go abroad? Her spoken language is not good, and it is difficult for her to communicate with people abroad, and she also has If you ask a pregnant woman who is about to give birth to leave her hometown while she is pregnant, aren't you worried that she will live in an unfamiliar place?"
"I..." Jian Xi's face turned pale.
Huo Jibai held her shoulders and said, "Mom, you gave birth to her instead of raising her. This is your dereliction of duty as a mother. If your departure can make her happy, it can be regarded as a kind of compensation."
"But I..."
"I know you hate me the most, so I leave with you."
