Chapter 336 Just Want to Get Something for Free?

"He said he wants to pursue a doctorate," Huo Huaisui continued, "and it will take several years."

Huo Huai paused for a moment, then sneered, "Is that why you're sighing and complaining here?"

Huo Huai Sui rolled her eyes at her brother, annoyed.

She's almost out of meal tickets, can't she even sigh?

Huo Huai'an: "You can't bear to part with it?"

"No, it's not that I'm reluctant to part with him," Huo Huai Sui said slowly. "It's just that I feel he's a good person. Much better than you."

Huo Huai'an looked at her coldly, "Tell me, what's so good about him?"

Huo Huaisui: "Anyway, he's better than you."

Huo Huai'an scoffed, "You think they're so great just because they spend a little money on you? You've never seen the world before?"

Huo Huai Sui: "You're right, I'm just not worldly enough. If you're so capable, give me some money and let me see the world."

There was no way he would give money, so Huo Huai'an simply admitted frankly, "You're right, I'm not good."

Huo Huai Sui snorted: "You know that much."

Huo Huai'an: "Since Xie Qinglan is so good, and since Mom is coming back soon, let him bring 300 million yuan to propose marriage."

Huo Huai Sui pouted, "No."

She did think Xie Qinglan was a good person, but she didn't want to marry him.

Huo Huai'an: "Do you not want Xie Qinglan to propose marriage, or do you not want him to give you 300 million?"

"Why are you always thinking about these things? I never said I wanted to marry him."

"You don't want to marry him, you just want to get something for nothing?"

"I..." Huo Huai Sui opened his mouth.

She didn't get anything for free. How could she have gotten something for free?

Forget it, her brother is a single dog who wouldn't understand, so I'm too lazy to talk to him.

Huo Huai Sui got up and walked to the door, then reached out and pushed him, saying, "I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to take a shower, go play by yourself."

After closing the door, Huo Huai Sui stood at the door for a while, looked at his phone which he had casually placed on the table, and couldn't help but sigh again.

When Ji Xueru saw her son return, she casually asked, "Did you tell Sui Sui?"

Xie Qinglan called out "Mom" before replying, "I told you."

Ji Xueru asked, "What did she say?"

Xie Qinglan lowered her eyes. "She said it's fine."

"It's good?" Ji Xueru was completely confused. "So?"

Xie Qinglan didn't say anything more. "I'm going upstairs now."

Looking at her son's retreating figure, Ji Xueru had a gut feeling that things weren't going well.

When Xie Chaolang returned from his walk, Ji Xueru grabbed her husband and whispered, "Lanlan doesn't seem very happy."

Xie Chaolang asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Xueru sighed, "He went to talk to Sui Sui about going abroad to pursue a PhD today, and we probably had a fight."

Xie Chaolang asked, puzzled, "What's all the noise about?"

"What's there to argue about?" Ji Xueru glared at her husband. "If we were dating and things were going really well, and I suddenly said I was going abroad for years, wouldn't you be angry?"

Xie Chaolang: "..."

Xie Chaolang thought to himself, "This is a good example, but would I dare to get angry with you?"

Ji Xueru glanced upstairs but ultimately didn't follow.

Now that her son is grown up and has his own ideas, she feels it's even less appropriate for him to interfere in her romantic relationships, so she stops meddling.

But the thought of her son going abroad and being away from them for so long still made Ji Xueru worry. "I agree with him continuing his studies, but I don't want him to go abroad."

Xie Chaolang agreed with his son's decision, but also understood his wife's concerns. He didn't say much, but simply patted his wife's shoulder to comfort her silently.

Hearing that moving into a new house requires "cooking a meal" and inviting relatives and friends to make it more lively, Huo Huai Sui also planned to do so. However, she didn't have many friends, and her only close friend was Lu Feng Qing. So, apart from her brother, she only invited Lu Feng Qing's family of three and Xie Qing Lan.

As for her biological father, he was busy welcoming her mother back to China and had no time to pay attention to her.

There aren't many people, just a token number will suffice.

Huo Huai Sui couldn't cook, and worried that her stingy brother would stop her, so she secretly brought the Huo family's nanny with her when she left home in the morning.

The nanny left after preparing the meal, leaving the space for the homeowners.

After dinner, Xie Qinglan, Huo Huai'an, and Gu Suixing, the three men, chatted on the balcony, while Huo Huaisui led Lu Fengqing and Rui Rui into the master bedroom.

Lu Fengqing looked around. "Not bad."

Huo Huai Sui waved his hand, "It's nowhere near as good as yours."

The two adults sat on the bed chatting, and Rui Rui didn't disturb them, wandering around and looking at things.

Lu Fengqing smiled. "You two haven't made up yet?"

She had noticed it at the dinner table earlier; Huo Huai Sui and Xie Qing Lan had barely spoken, and it was clear they were still arguing.

Huo Huai Sui sighed, "It probably won't get better."

Lu Fengqing: "What do you mean?"

Huo Huaisui: "He's going abroad to study, and he'll be gone for a long time."

Lu Fengqing was taken aback. "Then what about you?"

No one understands the feeling of being separated from someone better than Lu Fengqing.

She and Gu Suixing, who had been separated for so many years, initially felt they could never go back, let alone Huo Huaisui and Xie Qinglan.

Lu Fengqing asked, "Are you planning to go with us, or..."

“I’m not going,” Huo Huaisui said. “My mother is coming back.”

If her mother hadn't come back and was still abroad, she could go and keep her mother company, and also keep that scoundrel company.

Unfortunately, it was all fate.

Lu Fengqing: "So, we're breaking up?"

Huo Huaisui truthfully replied, "I don't know."

"Think it over carefully." Lu Fengqing patted her shoulder. "Long-distance relationships aren't easy."

She admitted that Xie Qinglan was indeed a good person, but long-distance relationships are indeed tough, and the two of them hadn't been together for very long. It could be said that their relationship was about to be separated before it was even stable. How long could such a relationship last?

Women are different from men. Men are still beautiful at thirty, but women always suffer when they get older.

If possible, Lu Fengqing would prefer that Huo Huaisui continue to be carefree.

On the balcony, Huo Huai'an asked Xie Qinglan, "I heard from Sui Sui that you're going abroad?"

Xie Qinglan: "Yes."

Gu Suixing: "Long-distance relationships are not easy."

Xie Qinglan didn't really care whether long-distance relationships were easy or difficult; he cared more about something else.

He nodded, smiled faintly, and said, "So let's break up."
