Lin Xiaoxue on the other end of the phone bit her lip and pondered for a moment. "Also?" This means that someone else has also come abroad to film. No need to guess, who else is there besides Lin Taozi?
"Big sister, Peach has also gone abroad. Is she in Y country?"
Lin Xiazhu: "..." She didn't even have time to ask before Taozi hung up the phone, so she didn't know which country Taozi was in. She guessed that she and Xiaoxue were probably in the same city.
"If you run into her, keep an eye on her, don't let anyone bully her." That was all she could say.
"Big sister, Taozi isn't a child anymore, you don't need to keep an eye on her all the time... Okay, if I see her, I'll definitely let her stay with me, so you won't worry." Lin Xiaoxue secretly pouted. Her big sister was as biased as ever, not even asking how she was doing, only caring about Taozi.
Just as she was thinking this, Lin Xiazhu reminded her, "Xiaoxue, be careful and don't cause trouble. By the way, are you really in Y country? What movie are you filming? How long will it take you to come back?"
When she was actually asked, Lin Xiaoxue felt it was better not to pay attention to her. She had run away on her own, and her agent and assistant didn't know. She had important things to do and couldn't let people know her whereabouts.
"Big sister, I've taken on an advertisement shoot that will take about ten to fifteen days. But I won't be going back so soon. I'm planning to take a long vacation and retire for a year or two. I'll probably be traveling the world during that time. You and second sister don't need to worry about me. I'll take good care of myself."
She was afraid that if her older sister ran into her agent or assistant in China one day, the truth would be revealed if they asked, so she decided to find an excuse to cover it up now.
"Have you earned enough money? Are you in such a hurry to squander it?" Lin Xiazhu didn't react much, but was a little curious.
Lin Xiaoxue was taken aback, but she was used to her older sister's actions, so she remained calm and said with a smile, "Big sister, you may have more personal wealth than me, believe it or not. There's no need to work as hard as before, and I don't need anyone to support me. I can live a good life on my own."
"Big sister, I have money now, lots of money." She couldn't help but emphasize it again and again.
"Are you showing off your wealth to me? Lin Xiaoxue, have you lost your mind?" Lin Xiazhu just found it funny and couldn't understand what she was doing at all.
"How could I dare to flaunt my wealth in front of you, sister? I was just saying that. I'm sure your personal wealth is no less than mine, but mine is no less than yours either. However, you have a brother-in-law who can make money and is very capable. You are definitely richer than me." Lin Xiaoxue seemed to be very obsessed with money.
"Are you obsessed with money? Are you obsessed with money or something? This is so abnormal. Tell me honestly, are you hiding something from me?" This is too suspicious.
"No, I'm not lying to you, I just have a lot of feelings. Back then, Dad passed away early, and Mom lost her mind. The family relied on you to earn money to support us. You never liked me, and you gave my second sister and Taozi more pocket money than I did. No matter how much I complained, it was no use; you just ignored me."
I used to resent you, but I stopped resenting you later. I know you meant well and were afraid I would go astray. However, I've always thought I was quite clever and smart, but you always thought I was too cunning. Actually, thinking about it, I really am a bit crooked.
Otherwise, why would I date someone like Song Yuheng? I was still a virgin when I was with him. But it wasn't a bad deal; Song Yuheng was quite generous and gave me a lot of money.
Unfortunately, she's starting to dislike herself and doesn't want to marry someone who's been dumped. In the last two years, she's suddenly realized that she doesn't want to be tied down by a man. She'd rather live alone and do whatever she wants.
Lin Xiazhu fell silent. She could sense that something was wrong with Lin Xiaoxue. "Xiaoxue, if anything happens to you, just tell your older sister. No matter how big the problem is, your older sister will help you. Don't try to carry everything on your own."
Lin Xiaoxue's nose tingled, but she still pretended to be relaxed and said, "Big sister, I know you still care about me. I've always known that I'm fine. I just miss home a little because I'm all alone. But I don't want to stay in the capital, and I don't want to go back to Changhe County. I just want to go out and travel by myself."
"Then you must take care of yourself. If you want to go home, come back right away. No matter what happens, your older sister will protect you." Lin Xiazhu felt a little sad. Over the years, she had been so focused on correcting Xiaoxue's personality that she had rarely considered her feelings.
Thinking about it, it's still very unfair. Xiaoxue is a person with flesh and blood and feelings. No matter what she did wrong in her past life, at least in this life she made a big mistake and has always been obedient and has not done anything to hurt Taozi.
But now it seems that Xiaoxue has encountered some trouble, but she doesn't know and refuses to tell her. Lin Xiazhu felt sad, but she didn't want to press her for answers.
Afterwards, Lin Xiazhu asked Bai Ruan to send someone to Y country to find Lin Xiaoxue, but they did not find her. Over the past month, Lin Xiaoxue would video chat with her from time to time and send her photos of the places she had been. It seemed that Lin Xiaoxue was really traveling around the world and doing very well.
Lin Xiazhu thought that perhaps she needed time to heal from the wounds she had suffered, so she turned down all her work and traveled alone. This was good, and she hoped that she could recover quickly.
When the twins turned one year old, Lin Taozi and Lin Xiaoxue were unable to come back. The two of them suddenly became extremely busy and have rarely called back recently.
Perhaps she had gotten used to it, Lin Xiazhu was no longer as worried as before, because when she called, both Xiaoxue and Taozi would answer. Although they would only talk for a few minutes, she could always be sure that they were safe.
Lin Chacha often complained, "These two girls have grown too big for their britches. We older sisters can't control them anymore. They even call you. I only called them for the first two months. They just don't respect me."
At this point, Lin Xiazhu would jokingly retort, "Every time you call, you pry into everything, asking if I have a boyfriend, what I've been doing lately, from eating to sleeping, you ask about everything. I'm so annoyed by you."
“I was just concerned about them. You heartless girl, you won’t even let me ask. Really,” Lin Chacha felt increasingly uneasy. “I have a feeling that something big is going to happen. My eyelids have been twitching ever since they left, and it hasn’t stopped for more than half a year.”
"You're exaggerating too much. You're superstitious. I think you're just not getting enough rest. Your eye is twitching. You should use your phone and computer less in the future." In her previous life, after smartphones came out, Lin Xiazhu would play on her phone when she was bored. Sometimes, if she played too much, her eyes would get dry and twitch.
Therefore, she was certain that Lin Chacha was simply suffering from eye strain due to overuse of her eyes.
"Just wait and see. It'd better be nothing serious, or you'll have a headache." Lin Chacha chuckled.
That year, Lin Xiaoxue and Lin Taozi did not come back for the Spring Festival. They stayed abroad. Lin Xiazhu felt that the Spring Festival was very lonely. Since she married into the Bai family, Lin Xiaoxue and Lin Taozi would come over to have New Year's Eve dinner together every year, which was very lively.
Although all of Bai's relatives gathered together, enough to fill several tables, none of them were her sisters. She missed them, and if it weren't for her three sons bothering her, she probably would have been sad for a long time.
