But then he remembered that he had just promised to have dinner with Xu Xiaoxiao, but now it seemed impossible. However, Xu Mo was also worried about leaving like this.
He wanted to meet with Xu Xiaoxiao before leaving, no matter what, and say something to her so that she wouldn't suffer later.
So he quickly called Xu Xiaoxiao again: "Xiaoxiao."
When Xu Xiaoxiao heard it was Xu Mo, she thought he was asking where to eat that night. But that wasn't important. The most important thing was that the two siblings were reunited. She had actually thought about having her brother come and take care of the family.
However, his current position was rather awkward, making it unsuitable for Xu Mo to go. But before Xu Xiaoxiao could even speak, Xu Mo spoke up.
"Xiaoxiao, there are some problems at the company in Southeast Asia, and I have to go back immediately. I may not be able to stay here with you."
Xu Xiaoxiao didn't expect things to change so quickly. They had discussed it before, but now everything has changed. However, she wasn't too sad, since the company's affairs were more serious.
"It's okay, brother. You should go back. Company matters are important. Don't worry about me here. I'll handle it properly."
Despite hearing her say that, Xu Mo was still worried. Xu Xiaoxiao was in a very dangerous situation, so even though he was in a hurry to go back, he still decided that he had to meet with Xu Xiaoxiao.
"Alright, I'm on my way to the airport now. I have something to say to you here."
“Okay, I also missed you, consider this a farewell gift.” Xu Xiaoxiao readily agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xiaoxiao prepared to leave. Her mood had been fluctuating since morning. She had thought that with the return of the Xu family, she wouldn't have to fight alone anymore, but she hadn't even had time to be happy for long.
Xu Mo was going back, and she really wanted to see him before he returned to Southeast Asia. After all, judging from what he said, things at the company there must be very serious, and he wouldn't be able to come back for a while. So Xu Mo cherished this opportunity.
Xu Xiaoxiao and Xu Mo met at the airport quickly, but Xu Mo needed to get a car soon, so they could only meet briefly before leaving.
Therefore, Xu Mo kept things brief. He earnestly told Xu Xiaoxiao, "When I came back this time, I actually went to see Gu Yiming and even beat him up. I could tell he really cares about Jiang Hua's child. So you need to be extra careful, you know?"
Xu Mo meant to make Xu Xiaoxiao more careful, but he didn't expect that Xu Xiaoxiao's attention was entirely focused on Xu Mo hitting Gu Yiming.
He said in surprise, "Brother, how could you hit someone? We weren't on good terms to begin with, and now that you've hit me, I don't know what to do."
Xu Mo looked at Xu Xiaoxiao with a disappointed expression and said helplessly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Didn't you say he was bullying you? I'm just trying to help you."
“Even if you help me, you can’t hit him. You know I care about him a lot.”
Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao's state, Xu Mo decided not to continue the topic. The most important thing now was to warn Xu Xiaoxiao to be careful.
"Alright, it's getting late, I should go now. Before I leave, listen to me, don't do anything outrageous again, and be careful of Gu Yiming. Be extra cautious. Don't get hurt."
Xu Xiaoxiao wasn't listening at all; she wasn't worried about such things. However, she pretended to listen in order to reassure Xu Mo.
Only after receiving Xu Xiaoxiao's answer did Xu Mo reluctantly leave.
Watching Xu Mo enter the boarding room, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't think about what her brother had said and left indifferently.
Jiang Hua has been lacking energy lately, and can't seem to muster any enthusiasm for anything she does.
She knew she couldn't go on like this. So she thought maybe she could relax a bit and chose to visit the zoo.
She felt that perhaps looking at some cute animals would help her forget her troubles and stop thinking about that person; she didn't want to feel her pain anymore.
But she didn't expect that even in this zoo full of laughter, I couldn't help her relax. Instead, it brought back many sad memories for her.
Seeing these objects brought back memories, so after a while she lost interest. However, to avoid troubling Xia Junxi, she didn't say anything and continued to stroll listlessly through the zoo.
But Xia Junxi had already noticed her absent-mindedness. He couldn't stand seeing Jiang Hua tormenting herself like this.
So he felt it was time to have a serious talk with her, otherwise he couldn't stand Jiang Hua becoming like this; this wasn't the real Jiang Hua.
He walked over to Jiang Hua and invited her to afternoon tea. Jiang Hua was already tired of the zoo and there was nothing else to see, so she readily agreed.
They arrived at a place for afternoon tea. Jiang Hua liked the place very much; it was quiet. After sitting down, she quietly drank her tea without saying anything.
Xia Junxi felt heartbroken seeing Jiang Hua like this. He knew she was very sad and conflicted, which was why she kept torturing herself like this. In fact, even she herself didn't know what was wrong with her.
So Xia Junxi broke the silence: "Jiang Hua, I know you're very upset, but you can't punish your family for this. You know perfectly well that this isn't his fault."
Jiang Hua was visibly startled upon hearing this, but quickly composed herself and said nonchalantly, "Don't talk to me about him. I don't want to hear anything about him."
Although Jiang Hua said that, Xia Junxi knew that Jiang Hua still loved Gu Yiming in her heart. However, she had a knot in her heart: the unborn child.
"Jiang Hua, I know this has hit you hard, but what can we do? It's already happened, and you need to learn to let it go," Xia Junxi earnestly advised Jiang Hua, hoping she wouldn't dwell on it.
"You can't understand how I feel, that a living, breathing life has slipped away from me. You can't comprehend that feeling, and Gu Yiming wouldn't understand either."
"But don't forget, the child is not only yours but also Gu Yiming's. Losing the child will not only cause you pain, but Gu Yiming's pain will be no less than yours. In fact, he will suffer even more than you because he has also lost you at the same time."
Xia Junxi finally spoke his mind. Although he didn't particularly like Gu Yiming, he could still understand him. After all, this wasn't what Gu Yiming wanted.
