On this day, Xiao Xi stayed at Rong Zejun's house all afternoon, and was stayed at Rong's house by Rong's mother for dinner in the evening, and then she asked the driver to take her back.
She got off the car at the gate of the manor, thanked the driver, watched the driver turn around and leave, then turned around and walked in.
Walking all the way to the house, Xiao Xi was about to reach out and push the door open, but suddenly she heard Ren Lin's voice coming from inside -
"...Ever since your second uncle's accident happened, your father has always disliked her. He always felt that it was their mother and daughter who killed your second uncle, so he always wanted to send her away. I only thought about her as a lonely girl.
She is really pitiful and well-behaved, so I thought of keeping her. But the most important prerequisite is that she must be obedient. If she is disobedient, I can't keep her in this home anymore. I just send her to another place.
The place is also troublesome, so I thought that you would pick her up and take her to Xiangcheng and send her to a boarding school. What should be done is how her life will develop. It is her own business, and we have nothing to spare.
I’m going to make plans for her.”
"Yeah." The female voice that answered was somewhat familiar. Xiao Xi vaguely remembered that it seemed to be the voice of her sister-in-law Wang Ling, "You and your father are older, so don't worry about these things anymore. I will take her back to Xiangcheng."
Discipline her well."
Outside the door, Xiao Xi suddenly seemed to have lost the courage to open the door. She stood blankly for a moment, then slowly turned around and walked towards the door aimlessly.
Unexpectedly, she just walked to the middle position, looked up, and suddenly saw the person she hadn't seen or contacted in a week.
It was a cold spring. He was walking on the road wearing a black school uniform, with his hands in his trouser pockets. He had a long body and long legs, and his eyes were cold and sparse. His eyes only stayed on her for a second, and then he quickly moved away and walked straight forward.
, passing her by without looking away.
Xiao Xi's steps stiffened and she paused. Listening to his footsteps gradually disappearing, she finally couldn't help but turn around, walked quickly behind him, stretched out her hands and hugged his waist, buried her face in his vest, and shouted softly
Called him: "Brother Qingcheng..."
Shen Qingcheng paused in his footsteps, his eyes dimming suddenly.
"Brother Qingcheng." She pressed her face hard against his back. She originally had many, many things she wanted to say to him, but at this moment, they were all choked in her throat. She couldn't say anything else except calling his name.
He could only let the tears blend quietly into his black coat, silently.
Shen Qingcheng waited for a moment, and his eyes finally turned cold again. The next moment, he forcefully pulled her hand away from his waist and walked towards the house without looking back.
Xiao Xi staggered two steps, as if she wanted to catch up with him, but she stopped in the end.
She just stood there, watching him go further and further away, tears finally rolling past unbridled.
When Shen Qingcheng opened the door and walked into the house, Ren Lin and Wang Ling were still sitting on the sofa, but the topic had changed and talked about Shen Boyi. Seeing Shen Qingcheng open the door and come in, Wang Ling immediately smiled and said: "Third brother, why are you so late?
Just came home?"
Shen Qingcheng didn't expect that she would come back suddenly. He couldn't help but be startled, and then shouted: "Sister-in-law. Why did you come back suddenly?"
Wang Ling nodded and replied with a smile: "I'll come back and discuss with mom about taking Xiaoxi to Xiangcheng."
When Shen Qingcheng heard this, his face remained unmoved, but his internal organs quickly began to burn.
He didn't stay downstairs longer, and went directly upstairs to his room, threw himself on the bed, and lay there quietly, trying his best to calm the burning pain in his heart.
But the harder he tried, the more he couldn't calm down. What he said repeatedly in his mind turned out to be what she said that day——
"Brother Qingcheng, being with you is the happiest thing that has happened to me in the past few years. I will never forget these days, nor will I forget you. But... don't make me so embarrassed, okay? Just
Can I ask my aunt to send me away now?"
Since she wants to leave now so much, since she can't wait so hard, she should be very happy now that her sister-in-law has come to pick her up?
And what about him? Before that day, he was even studying the admissions system of Huai University, trying to pave the way forward and backward for her, and make plans for the future of the two of them——
Is there anything more ridiculous than this in the world? Is there anyone more stupid than him?
The burning pain in his body became arrogant again. Shen Qingcheng lay there for a long time, and finally couldn't lie down anymore. He sat up suddenly, opened the door and went downstairs again.
Downstairs, Ren Lin and Wang Ling were still sitting together talking. Shen Qingcheng went downstairs, sat on the sofa next to him, and slowly said: "I want to go abroad."
Ren Lin and Wang Ling were startled at the same time. At the door, Xiao Xi, who had just pushed the door in, froze when she heard these words.
But no one paid attention to her. Ren Lin and Wang Ling's attention was focused on Shen Qingcheng.
Ren Lin looked at Shen Qingcheng and said, "Why did you suddenly change your mind? Didn't you say you wanted to go to a domestic university before? Your uncle Cheng sent you materials from several foreign universities before, but I didn't even pay attention."
"It's nothing, I just changed my mind." Shen Qingcheng replied, "I don't want to stay in the country."
Wang Ling just smiled after hearing this, and Ren Lin nodded and said: "It doesn't matter if you change your mind, your father and I also hope that you can go abroad. Before, you said you wanted to enter a domestic university, but he was still not happy-"
Shen Qingcheng listened, but didn't react much. He turned his eyes slightly, fell on the man standing at the door, and quickly looked away.
Ren Lin and Wang Ling also saw Xiao Xi, and Wang Ling smiled and called her: "Xiao Xi, are you back?"
Xiao Xi felt a little chill all over her body, but she still walked forward slowly and called out in a low voice: "Aunt, sister-in-law."
Wang Ling nodded and smiled, "Come here and let's have a chat."
Xiao Xi stepped forward stiffly, and just as she reached the sofa, Shen Qingcheng stood up suddenly, said "I'm going up", then turned and walked upstairs.
He didn't even want to look at her again...
Xiao Xi slowly lowered her head.

At 10:30 at night, Xiao Xi slowly knocked on the door of Ren Lin's study.
In the study room, Ren Lin was wearing glasses and studying some foreign university information at hand. She looked up and saw Xiao Xi walking in. She couldn't help but frowned and said, "Xiao Xi, it's so late, what's wrong?"
"Auntie." Xiao Xi called her in a low voice, and then said, "If you insist on sending me away, can you send me back to Canada?"
Hearing this, Ren Lin couldn't help but put down what she was holding and looked at her, "Do you want to go back to Canada?"
Xiao Xi nodded, "I want to go back to Canada."
"But we don't have any other relatives or friends in Canada." Ren Lin said, "And...all of your father's properties there have been disposed of."
