She was so busy that she didn't understand what he meant, so she turned around and said, "Huh?"
Huo Shenxiu sat up from the sofa, put down the laptop in his hand, and stared at her with his dark pupils:
"Tomorrow, you will return home alone."
Su Mi's ears buzzed, but she still thought she heard wrong: "What?"
Huo Shenxiu walked over slowly, raised his hand and put it on her naturally thin shoulder, rubbing his thumb gently twice, as if to reassure her:
"You go back to Tancheng alone first, I will go back later."
Only now did Su Mi react: "...Why? Why don't you go back with me? Do you want to stay in the Jin family?"
He hummed.
Su Mi's mind went blank for a moment: "Why?"
His pair of deep eyes were still staring at her: "He has always been looking forward to explaining all the Jin family's property to me. In just a few days, it is impossible to cover everything. Now that he is here, I plan to fulfill his wish.
Stay a little longer."
Su Mi understood that the "he" in Huo Shenxiu's words referred to Jinfengtai. She remained silent for a long time and then said:
"...But you have never cared about the Jin family's property before."
How could you suddenly change your mind?
He took his time and said, "I don't care about the Jin family's property. He has begged me many times in the past few days, always hoping that I would stay a little longer and get familiar with things here. If he doesn't satisfy his wish, I guess he will be in trouble in the future.
He still has to find a way to come to Tancheng to find me. It is better to comply with his request once and for all. Besides, you also know that he looks like he is in the prime of life, but in fact he is in poor health. Just in case...he won't leave anything behind.
Pity."
So he is willing to stay because he cares about Jinfengtai?
Then Su Mi didn’t believe it even more!
Although he has changed his view of Jinfengtai, the relationship between father and son is not that close, right?
Now in order to achieve Jinfengtai's intention, I changed my plan and stayed for a while longer... No matter how you look at it, it's strange.
She frowned: "But you promised me that you would return to China tomorrow. You said you wouldn't lie to me."
Huo Shenxiu's fingertips on her shoulders became harder and harder: "I'm not lying to you, I'm going back to China tomorrow, but you go back alone first, and I will come back too, just a little later."
Su Mi felt like she had been deceived. She had never been so wronged in her life, and she rushed out angrily: "You are not calling this a lie? You are treating me like a three-year-old child!" As he said that, he pulled his
Pull it off with your hand.
He expected that she would be angry, and was fully prepared. He turned his palm over, put her little hand into his palm, held it firmly, dragged it into his arms, and used his strength to suppress her restlessness: "Look at your temper.
It’s really big. It’s not good for your health. I just won’t go back with you. It won’t be long. Once we’ve taken care of it here, we’ll return home right away.”
Maybe she couldn't break free, or maybe his tone was too calm, but she finally settled down. After a long while, she raised her face and said, "Are you really just trying to fulfill Mr. Jin's wish?"
Seeing that the anger on her face had subsided, he touched her hair and said, "Yes."
"...Then when will you return?"
He knew that since she asked this, she had lost most of her anger. He lowered his face and rubbed her cheek with the tip of his nose: "It will be a month later at most."
"A month? So long?" Su Mi was irritable again.
"Since I stay, I will definitely do everything I need to do."
Su Mi thought for a moment and pinched his collar: "Then I'll stay with you. I'll come back whenever you want."
"No," he immediately and resolutely refused, "You must return to China by tomorrow at the latest."
Su Mi frowned: "Wouldn't it be better for me to go back with you?"
"Too many things have happened to you here, and now you can't be sure whether it was just an accident or if someone is really targeting you. If you stay here for one more day, there will be more danger," Huo Shenxiu's voice became colder, "So
, you must go back first tomorrow."
Su Mi was speechless for a moment.
Just then, the servant knocked on the door: "Sir, Dato would like to invite you to the study. I have something to tell you."
Jin Fengtai saw that his son was leaving tomorrow and did not go to the office to work today. He stayed at home and ordered the servants to prepare for the practice banquet in the evening.
At this moment, I probably want to talk to my son and explain a few words to him before he leaves.
Huo Shenxiu glanced at Su Mi, told her to stay in the room, and went out first.
Su Mi watched his slender figure disappear behind the door, feeling uneasy for a long time.
I was originally thinking that I would be returning to China tomorrow, and I was very happy. But now that I know that I will go back alone, it is impossible not to be disappointed.
Her heart suddenly beat like a drum.
One month...
He will stay here alone for another month.
It's not that he was nervous about what would happen if he and Wan Ziya were under the same roof.
After all, if he really has Wan Ziya in his heart, even if she is here, she cannot supervise him.
However... I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
Moreover, did he really stay because he wanted to fulfill Jin Fengtai's wish?
…
In the evening, the servant came and knocked on the door, saying that dinner was ready, and invited Su Mi to go downstairs to eat.
He also said that Huo Shenxiu would accompany Datuk to finish speaking and go down later.
Su Mi tidied herself up and went downstairs.
As soon as he got out, he saw Wan Ziya sitting next to Li Manyao on the sofa in the living room, talking.
Two servants from the hospital also came back and stood aside, holding Wan Ziya's crutches in their hands.
She was startled. At this moment, Li Manyao saw her and waved to her: "Su Mi, you're down. We haven't started eating yet. Please sit down for a while."
She walked over and sat on the sofa opposite: "Why is Ziya back?"
"Tomorrow you and Shen Xiu will return to China. I will practice it at home tonight. Ziya insists on being discharged from the hospital early and sending you off. Fengtai and I couldn't resist her, so we had to agree."
Wan Ziya was probably afraid that Su Mi would be overly concerned, so she hurriedly said: "It's not all about practicing for my eldest cousin and sister-in-law... I thought that even if I stayed in the hospital with my injury, I would just lie in bed to recover...
It’s better to go home and raise it.”
"That's true, no matter what, the environment at home is better than the hospital." Li Manyao patted the back of Wan Ziya's hand lovingly.
Just as he was talking, Li Chengxun took the indoor elevator and went downstairs.
Afterwards, Jin Fengtai and Huo Shenxiu came out of the study and came down.
Jin Fengtai's face glowed red, as if he had heard some shocking news.
Wan Ziya stood up with her crutches and said, "Cousin, I'm back."
The two people upstairs probably knew that Wan Ziya was back, so they weren't too surprised.
Jin Fengtai made a gesture: "If your legs and feet are inconvenient, stop standing. Sit down."
Li Manyao asked the servant to help Wan Ziya sit down, then smiled brightly and said to the father and son: "Fengtai, why do you look so happy?"
