"Maybe they have their difficulties that are hard to explain," Shen Mianmian guessed, "Could it be because they had a hard time before?"
"How could that be possible?" Lu Siyuan scoffed, "You don’t know how well they are living now, dressing ostentatiously, just like nouveau riche. Plus, my dad is eating so much he’s getting fat—just looking at that shows that they’ve been doing well these past years. Where would they remember me and my grandfather?"
Since it was his family history, Shen Mianmian didn’t feel it was appropriate to comment further, so she brought up what Xiaocui had asked her the day before, "Then what are you going to do now?"
"What am I going to do?" Lu Siyuan said very firmly, "I’m not going to go with them. If they want, they can have another son."
Shen Mianmian was speechless. After a pause, she still pointed out her thoughts, "The educational standards in Beijing are indeed better than here. Going to Beijing would be a good choice for you. You don’t have to worry about the business—I will transfer the money to you on time each month, and I’ll keep the accounts for you to check when you come back for the holidays. You..."
"What do you mean, Shen Mianmian?" Lu Siyuan couldn’t listen anymore and erupted in anger, interrupting her to question, "After all this, you think that I don’t want to leave because I can’t let go of the business, right?"
"What else then?" Shen Mianmian was taken aback by his sudden outburst.
This guy was like a bomb, exploding without warning.
"What else? You have the nerve to ask?" Lu Siyuan was so angry he wanted to hit someone, "Shen Mianmian, you really are heartless."
His eyes reddened with anger, but he was completely powerless against Shen Mianmian. He collapsed onto the table, silent.
Seeing him , Shen Mianmian felt somewhat at a loss for words.
She poked his shoulder, "Hey, Lu Siyuan, I’m thinking of your best interests. Why are you so angry? Can’t we have a calm discussion?"
"How can we talk calmly? You’re considering my best interests by wanting to send me away? Is that what you call caring?" Lu Siyuan retorted with a sense of grievance, looking like a child in that moment.
Shen Mianmian felt a sudden overflow of maternal instincts, "I can’t possibly encourage you to separate from your parents, can I? I’m not chasing you away—I just think that if you go to Beijing first, and when I also get admitted to a Beijing school, you would still be able to look after me. We’ll be apart for at most two years, and afterward we’ll still be studying together. Two years will fly by quickly."
The reason she wanted him to go to Beijing was also that once he was there, he would have no relationship with Tian Caiyan, which would make her feel more at ease.
But she couldn’t directly tell him these reasons.
It was indeed frustrating.
Upon hearing her explanation, Lu Siyuan felt somewhat comforted. His face blushed as he stared at Shen Mianmian and said earnestly, "What will you do if I leave?"
Two years could change a lot. Shen Mianmian was so beautiful and outstanding—what if she had someone else in her heart after two years?
Without parents or family by her side, what would she do if he left?
Anyway, he couldn’t leave.
The two of them exchanged glances, and Shen Mianmian was startled.
That sounded rather intimate, didn’t it?
Was she overthinking it?
"Class is starting, no more nonsense. I’m not leaving anyway," Lu Siyuan, afraid that Shen Mianmian might say something he didn’t want to hear, awkwardly changed the subject.
It had been a guess before, but now, seeing his reaction, she finally confirmed the speculation in her heart.
Oh my goodness, what a mess this all was! Dıscover more novels at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵
