She opened her mouth, wanting to find out the whole story.
What on earth could have happened that would make Sera abandon her daughter here, not caring about anything or not caring about anything?
Sera blinked and said, "Lixia, let's forget about the past."
She didn't want to talk about the past.
There's no point in talking about it.
"I called you today to tell you that I may have to trouble you to take care of Alice for me. I have discussed with her father that we are going to develop in Chenchuan's hometown. If nothing unexpected happens, Alice will settle down in China in the future. But because we made this decision in a hurry, there are many preparations that have not been done yet, and there are many things that need to be packed. It will probably take some time for us to return to China. I think it will not be good for Alice to transfer to another school at that time. She may find it difficult to adapt. Let her go to school with you for the time being, and we will discuss the future when we come back.
I will transfer the living expenses for Alice's food and accommodation at your place to you later. Li Xia, you are the only one I know in China, and I can't think of anyone else I can turn to for help except you. Since we have been living abroad after our marriage, we have less contact with Chen Chuan's relatives, and I am not familiar with his relatives. I am not at ease letting Alice go with her father's relatives.
So, I thought about it for a long time, and the only person I could think of was you. I also know that having more people is not as simple as having more pairs of chopsticks. Alice will bring you some troubles, but I can't do anything about it. We have known each other for so many years. I only have this one daughter. I feel more at ease if Alice follows you than if she follows Chen Chuan's relatives. I can only cause you trouble."
Sera said a lot on the phone.
She did not say why she returned home.
After all, it is your own life and choice.
She didn't want to pass on her troubles to Li Xia.
Even the best of friends need a sense of boundaries.
When Li Xia heard Sera's words, she frowned and said, "Sera, wait a moment. You told me so much at once that I don't have time to digest it. Alice is very good and obedient. She didn't cause me any trouble. If you really want to return to China and settle down, Alice will go to school in Beijing in the future. I am also very welcome. But if you argue with me about her expenses and must mention the word money, then I will be unhappy.
You also said that we have been good friends for so many years and we know each other well. You also know very well what kind of person I am. You don’t have to worry about Alice being with me. I will treat her like my own daughter and will not treat her unfairly or let her suffer any grievances.
However, although Alice is your child, she is already this old. She is an independent individual and has her own ideas. Regardless of whether everything you do is for her good, I think you should discuss it with her in person and ask her what she wants. "
Lixia did not ask Sera what happened during this period.
Since she doesn't want to say anything, there's no way I can ask her.
When she is willing to talk, she will tell her naturally.
Sera nodded, "I know, I just want to tell you first, I will definitely tell Alice about it."
Even though Alice was their daughter.
They also can’t just think about making decisions on their own.
They have to take their daughter's mood and thoughts into consideration.
"Well, now that you've made up your mind, just talk to Alice about it."
Li Xia licked her lips and said.
"Well, when Alice comes back later, tell me and I'll call her back."
night.
Lixia waited until Alice finished dinner before she told her that Sera had called her today.
After talking to her, Lixia called Sera in front of Alice.
After the call was connected, she handed the phone to Alice.
Li Xia walked aside and let the mother and daughter communicate on their own.
Half an hour later.
"Aunt Li, here's your phone."
After Alice finished her call with Sera, she walked up to Lixia and handed her the phone.
Li Xia reached out to take the phone. She raised her eyes to look at Alice, opened her mouth, and asked her: "Alice, has your mother told you everything? She and your mother plan to return to China to develop. What do you think? You have been born and raised abroad. If you are not used to staying in China, you can boldly tell your mother. Auntie believes that your mother will definitely not force you. She will respect your ideas."
After all, for Alice, the place where she grew up is the place she is familiar with.
It's normal for her to want to stay somewhere she is familiar with.
Sera only said on the phone that she and Chen Chuan would return to China.
Her parents are still abroad.
If Alice cannot accept her parents' decision to settle in the country for a while.
She can live with her grandparents for a while.
Living in the same place where she grew up will also help her physical and mental development.
I guess Sera also understands this.
"Thank you, Auntie." Alice shook her head. "Mom told me that they want me to go to school here in the second half of the year. After living in Beijing for these days, I like it here and I'm used to the hustle and bustle of Auntie's family. I also like Sister Tangtang and Brother Xiaobao. I'm willing to stay."
She moved her lips and opened her mouth to speak.
When Li Xia heard what Alice said, she licked her lips and said, "Okay, Alice, Auntie and my brothers and sisters like you very much too. Since you are here voluntarily, Auntie is very enthusiastic about you joining our big family."
