Chapter 1279: Abroad is not safe
afternoon.
The underground auction house in the north of the city.
"You go to the box first, I'll come over later." Min Yu was wearing a black windbreaker with a high-necked sweater of the same color underneath. He glanced at Huo Yao and asked Zhuo Yun to be responsible for her safety.
Huo Yao nodded and followed Zhuo Yun to the luxurious room upstairs.
The box is designed to be quite private. One can see the auction going on downstairs in detail from inside, but outsiders cannot see inside.
Huo Yao sat on the chair and glanced at the bustling downstairs. His eyes also passed over the security surveillance everywhere, which was extremely strict.
It is very thief-proof.
The auction wasn't about to start yet, Huo Yao withdrew his gaze and took out his cell phone from his pocket out of boredom.
As soon as I clicked it, a WeChat message from Yuan Xi appeared on the notification bar, which was sent ten minutes ago.
The content was to ask her if she had any plans for the day.
Seeing this, Huo Yao tapped the screen and replied to her message.
Yuan Xi had been holding her phone over there. When she saw Huo Yao's reply, she felt relieved and quickly typed a reply: [No... Since you have something to do, go ahead and do your work.]
Huo Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment, and replied: [If you need help, just tell me. You're welcome.]
Yuan Xi looked at the message, her throat felt dry for no reason, her fingers clenched around the phone, and after a long while she suppressed the guilt in her heart and replied: [Oh, I was annoyed by the noises of those three roommates in the dormitory who love to chat all day long, so I wanted to go out and play with you. ]
Huo Yao had heard Yuan Xi complain about her roommates many times, so when he saw this, he didn't think much about it and just sent her an emoticon in reply.
Yuan Xi did not continue sending messages. She just sat in the chair in a daze. The door of the room was ajar and Yuan's mother walked in with a plate of fruit.
"Why are you wearing so little clothes?" Seeing that her daughter was only wearing a thin home dress, Yuan's mother put down the plate and hurried to the cloakroom to find a thick down jacket and put it on Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi seemed to come to her senses and looked up at her mother. "Um, Mom, when did you come in?"
Yuan's mother reached out and squeezed her cold little hand, saying, "You said your child has been acting strange since she came back last night. Did something happen?"
Yuan Xi's face was pale, and she looked really not in good spirits. She forced a smile and shook her head, "No, but Mom, I heard from Yuan Huan that you and Dad are planning to go abroad during the Spring Festival?"
"What Yuan Huan? That's your brother." Yuan's mother corrected her daughter, pulled a chair over and sat down, then said, "We have this plan, but it's not just your father and I, it's our whole family going together."
Yuan Xi twitched the corners of her lips slightly, then she held her mother's hand and said, "What's fun abroad? Isn't it better to just stay in Beijing?"
"It's your father who wanted to take us out to play. This year he has a rare longer vacation, so he decided to plan a trip abroad." Yuan's mother explained.
Yuan Xi bit her lip, shook her head, and said pleadingly, "Can we not go?"
Mother Yuan rarely saw her daughter speak like this, and was a little dazed, "Xiao Xi you..."
Yuan Xi knew that even if she told her mother about Yuan Huan's other side, her mother would not believe it. Instead, she would only think that she was prejudiced against Yuan Huan and that she was ignorant.
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Xi said seriously: "Some places abroad are too chaotic and unsafe."
