After Xia Yichu left, Wu Mingli sat for another half hour before saying he was going to pick up Wu Jiaojiao from school. Although he was usually very busy, he would pick up his daughter from school when he had time. After he left, only Chen Wanrou and her cousin's family remained in the Wu family.

"Sister-in-law, do you have a grudge against Xiao Chu?"

Chen Wanrou glanced at the family. Based on her interactions with Xia Yichu and her understanding of her, Xia Yichu wasn't that rude unless someone had offended her.

"Wanrou, what is Xia Yichu's relationship with the Wu family?"

Instead of answering Chen Wanrou's question, Chen's mother asked other questions.

"She is the daughter of Mingli's teacher, Xia Guoan. Mingli cares about her very much and treats her like a younger sister."

Chen Wanrou said this to warn them that Xia Yichu, a student, would never cause them trouble. If there was any grudge, it was definitely because they had made things difficult for Xia Yichu first.

"Auntie, does Xia Yichu really have a boyfriend?"

Chen Tao just wanted to know if Xia Yichu was lying to him, and at the same time he was unwilling to accept it, since he came from such a good family and genuinely liked Xia Yichu.

His parents are now pressuring him to go abroad, and he came to the Wu family today hoping Wu Mingli could help him find out about studying abroad.

"right"

Chen Wanrou had just noticed that Chen Tao kept staring at Xia Yichu. It's normal for a pretty girl to be liked.

"Then she"

Chen Tao also wanted to know about Xia Yichu's recent situation, as she had taken several days off for a while. Xia Yichu didn't have any close friends at school and always kept to herself.

Chen Tao had nowhere to ask for news about her, and now he discovered that his aunt knew her. Although Xia Yichu had a boyfriend, it didn't mean they would get married in the future. He still couldn't let go of Xia Yichu; he only loved her.

"Xiao Tao, that's enough. You and your dad go back first, your aunt and I will talk for a while longer."

After speaking, Chen's mother tugged at her husband, who was sitting next to her, and told him to take their son home.

"Mom, I'm not going back. I still have something to ask Auntie."

Chen Tao sat on the sofa and wouldn't get up. His mother went over to pull him up, but he still wouldn't get up.

"We can talk about it later. You go back with your dad first."

"I don't"

"Chen Tao, what are you doing? Come back with me right now."

Seeing his father's reaction, Chen Wanrou quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Cousin, it's so late. Have dinner before you go back. Mingli already asked Sister Wang to cook dinner."

I don't know much about Xiao Tao and Xiao Chu. But she does have a boyfriend, and her family is very happy with him.

It's not that Chen Wanrou looks down on Chen Tao, but he looks like an immature child and is completely unsuitable for Xia Yichu.

Xia Yichu is not very old, but she is very mature and steady in her actions. How could she like a boy who has not grown up?

Because of Chen Wanrou's words, Chen's parents did not dare to cause trouble at the Wu family's house, and just looked at their son with a bad expression.

"Auntie, Xia Yichu took several days off a while ago. Do you know why she took the leave?"

So that's what it was about. I'm glad it wasn't some random question.

Chen Wanrou said gently, "Her grandparents are sick and hospitalized, so she went to Kyoto to take care of them. By the way, you haven't told your aunt yet whether you and Xiao Chu have any issues."

Chen Tao's eyes dimmed, and he was about to speak when his mother interrupted him.

"Wanrou, Xiaotao and Xia Yichu have no personal grudges, it's just a misunderstanding."

"Sister-in-law, let Xiao Tao say it himself."

Chen Tao hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Auntie, I confessed my feelings to her at school before, but she rejected me."

I was a little angry and embarrassed at the time. Others said some unpleasant things, and I didn't explain myself for Xia Yichu.

Chen Wanrou frowned. "Xiao Tao, how could you do that? It's normal for someone to reject you. You shouldn't have done that."

Chen Tao lowered his head. "I know I was wrong, Aunt. I just like her too much and couldn't control myself."

Mr. Chen sneered from the side, "Look at you, what have you become for a girl? Hurry up and come back with me to reflect on your actions."

"Dad, I don't want to go abroad. I want to stay in Shenzhen to study."

Although Xia Yichu doesn't accept him now, it's not bad to be able to watch her from afar.

"Why are you so stubborn? Xia Yichu already has a boyfriend, and you still won't give up."

Chen's mother was getting anxious. She wouldn't object if Xia Yichu also liked her son. But now there was Liang Xiaowen eyeing her son like a hawk, and she didn't want her son to marry a girl with a bad heart.

She'll have nowhere to turn when the time comes; she only has one son. Marrying an unworthy wife can ruin three generations, and she doesn't want her grandchildren to have a bad life in the future.

"Xiao Tao, listen to your parents, go abroad to further your studies. You can't force matters of the heart," Chen's mother continued earnestly.

"You must go abroad, there's no room for discussion."

Mr. Chen couldn't stand his son's lack of ambition. He believed that once his son went abroad and met more people, he wouldn't be so desperate over a girl.

Looking at the family, Chen Wanrou said helplessly, "Alright, alright, everyone calm down. Xiao Tao, you can't force matters of the heart, and don't get stuck on this. Go back and think it over carefully; you have a long road ahead of you."

Chen Tao wanted to say something more, but seeing Wu Mingli return with Wu Jiaojiao, he stopped talking. Wu Mingli was so protective of Xia Yichu; if he knew what he had done to Xia Yichu, he would definitely be furious. Chen Tao wasn't afraid of his parents; he was most afraid of Wu Mingli.

"Jiaojiao, what's wrong? Who made Jiaojiao angry?"

Chen's mother looked at Wu Jiaojiao, who had her head drooping, her eyes red, and her little mouth pouting.

"Aunt, Uncle, Brother."

Wu Jiaojiao called out to them, then walked over to Chen Wanrou and said, "Mom, when will Sister Yichu come to our house again?"

Wu Mingli picked her up and told her that Xia Yichu had come to their house, but before she could even feel happy, her father said that Xia Yichu had already left, so Wu Jiaojiao went home in a bad mood.

"Jiaojiao, when your sister Yichu comes to Pengcheng, we can go see her anytime."

"Really? That's great! Sister Yichu told me she has cats and dogs at home, and I've been wanting to go for a while now."

Xia Yichu, who was on Wu Jiaojiao's mind, was already at the airport. Song Qihang parked the car, drove her into the airport, and watched her board the plane before leaving.

"Mr. Pei, Miss Xia has already boarded the plane."

Song Qihang quickly found a phone to call Pei Shizhou and tell him. Pei Shizhou was already living at his own home, and a couple of days ago he had asked Xia Zhiheng for the keys to Xia Yichu's house. He was cleaning Xia Yichu's house so she could move in directly when she arrived in Kyoto.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Your bonus will be doubled this year."

Holding the phone, Song Qihang said excitedly, "It's no trouble at all, thank you, President Pei."

Song Qihang hung up the phone, humming a little tune in a good mood. On the plane, Xia Yichu leaned against the window, closing her eyes for a nap. She thought about seeing her grandparents and Pei Shizhou again when she returned to Kyoto, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

Meanwhile, in Kyoto, Pei Shizhou arrived at Xia Yichu's house early to do the final tidying up and prepared a lot of snacks.

When Xia Yichu got off the plane and walked out of the airport, she saw Pei Shizhou standing there. In just over a month, she found that Pei Shizhou had become even more handsome.
