Chapter 897 He figured it out so quickly.
Shen Boyan ultimately did not answer Sheng Yao, but went upstairs directly.
But Sheng Yao already had her own answer in her heart.
She stood there, her mind replaying Shen Boyan's words.
As I thought about it, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
A resident from the next building came down to throw out the trash and happened to see a person standing under the dim streetlight.
The man's shoulders twitched, and he occasionally let out a laugh.
The resident thought he had seen a ghost and was so frightened that he ran away without even throwing the trash in the bin.
When Sheng Yao returned home, her uncle and aunt had already come back.
They've been busy these past two days, and Sheng Yao is home alone.
The uncle's sudden return was also because of Sheng Yao's matter.
The Sheng family has called the uncle several times, asking him to find a way to persuade Sheng Yao to go back.
Her uncle had actually tried to persuade Sheng Yao many times, but each time Sheng Yao would either change the subject or try to stall for time.
I'm just not going back.
My uncle was also troubled by this for several days.
No sooner had the uncle walked in than Sheng's mother called again.
Mother Sheng burst into tears after saying only a few words. Her uncle sighed and comforted her, "Sister, don't cry. I'll think of something else. Yao Yao is just in the mood. She'll be willing to come back on her own after a while."
The uncle and Sheng's mother chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.
His aunt could already guess what was wrong when she saw his worried expression.
She poured her uncle a glass of water and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't get too worked up. When Yao Yao comes back, talk to her properly. She's a sensible girl and she'll listen to you."
The uncle sighed, "This girl is easy to coax in everything, but on this matter, she's just stubborn. I don't know what she likes about Shen Boyan, why she can't live without him?"
Auntie smiled and said, "Yaoyao is still so young. When you were dating me, you insisted on marrying me against your family's wishes, didn't you?"
"How can you compare them? It's precisely because Yao Yao is young that she can't act impulsively."
"Relationships develop naturally; there's no such thing as acting on impulse. If you like someone and don't feel any urges, can it still be called a relationship?"
The uncle and aunt were chatting and didn't notice that Sheng Yao had returned and had been standing at the door for quite a while.
What are you talking about?
Sheng Yao suddenly spoke up, and her uncle and aunt looked up at the same time. Her aunt smiled, got up, and walked over, "Yao Yao is back. Have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
The uncle looked at Sheng Yao, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
Sheng Yao asked him directly, "Uncle, what do you want to tell me?"
Auntie gestured to Uncle with her eyes, telling him not to be too anxious.
After careful consideration, the uncle began, "Yaoyao, you've been in Chongqing for a while now. Your aunt and I are both busy and haven't been able to take good care of you. Your mother has called me several times, saying she misses you. So, I'd like to discuss with you whether we should send you back to Beijing?"
Her uncle had said similar things to Sheng Yao many times before.
The uncle thought that Sheng Yao would ignore him again, just like before.
To everyone's surprise, Sheng Yao readily agreed, "Okay!"
This surprised both her uncle and aunt for a moment. Her uncle asked her, somewhat incredulously, "Really?"
Sheng Yao smiled with her eyes narrowed, "Really? Anyway, I'll have to go back sooner or later. I've been here for quite a while now, and I miss my parents and grandpa."
When her uncle heard her say that, he finally felt relieved.
He said with relief, "Good, I'm relieved that you think that way. When do you want to go back? I'll arrange for someone to book your ticket."
"Anytime is fine, even tomorrow."
Auntie gave Uncle a reproachful look, "Since Yaoyao has already said she wants to go back, there's no rush to do it in a day or two."
Then she said to Sheng Yao, "You've been here for so long, and the family hasn't had a proper meal together yet. Tomorrow, your uncle and I will both take a day off, have a meal with you, and then take you out for a walk, okay?"
Sheng Yao had no objections at all, "Okay! I'll listen to my uncle and aunt!"
She was unusually easy to talk to today, which surprised her uncle and aunt.
Sheng Yao stood up and said to the two of them, "Then, Uncle and Aunt, I'm going upstairs to sleep first. You should go to sleep early too."
Watching her retreating figure, her uncle suddenly felt a little uneasy. "Does Yao Yao really want to go back to the capital? She told me just a couple of days ago that she didn't want to go back. How come she changed her mind so quickly?"
Aunt shook her head helplessly, "You just wanted her to go back voluntarily, and now that she's willing to go back, what are you worried about?"
Something unusual must be going on. Given Sheng Yao's stubborn personality, her uncle always felt that something must have happened to her, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed so readily.
The uncle said, "I'm worried that something might have happened to her without telling us. Do you think it might be related to that Shen Boyan? Did she bully Yaoyao?"
"Don't worry unnecessarily. Nothing will happen. Yao Yao seems perfectly normal. If she really had something to do with Shen Boyan, she wouldn't be like this."
The uncle thought about it and agreed. No matter what the reason was, it was good that Sheng Yao was willing to go back. He could feel much more at ease no matter what happened in the capital.
...
The day before leaving for the capital, Qiao Xing began packing his things.
Although she would be living with the Qin family after the trip, she would still prefer to use her own place for many things because of Grandpa Qin's presence and her pregnancy.
While Qiao Xing was tidying up, Qin Yi sat beside her, holding an apple in his hand and watching her.
"Sister-in-law, my brother said we don't need to pack too much. We can buy whatever we need when we get there. It's not like we're short of money."
Qiao Xing neatly folded a few pieces of underwear and put them in the box. "It's not that we're short of money, but why spend money that isn't necessary?"
After Qiao Xing married Qin Ce, she was indeed not short of money and could have whatever she wanted.
But she couldn't shake her thrifty habits.
Some purchases are unnecessary; spending them would be a waste.
Qin Yi was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so he naturally couldn't understand the mindset of someone like Qiao Xing who lived a simple life.
Qin Yi told her that she had packed two large suitcases of luggage. While eating an apple, he exclaimed, "My brother is so lucky to have married you!"
Qiao Xing smiled, unconvinced.
She didn't think Qin Ce was particularly lucky to have met her; on the contrary, it was after meeting Qin Ce that her life gradually improved.
Therefore, before she and Qin Ce had expressed their feelings for each other, Qiao Xing couldn't feel at ease spending Qin Ce's money.
Even now, with a child together, Qiao Xing still feels a little burdened sometimes.
