Chapter 466: Going Abroad

nsation from the Qi family," Lu Hanchuan explained.Fu Xiaoyao's grip on the railing tightened suddenly, "Compensation""Yes.""Such generosity, five million!" Fu Xiaoyao sneered.Lu Hanchuan pulled her o...Fu Xiaoyao nodded heavily with a heavy heart, there was no other way.

The phone was answered quickly.

Lu Hanchuan's low voice came over, "Who is it"

Hearing the man's voice, Fu Xiaoyao's nose instantly felt sour.

If she weren't afraid of exposing herself and putting her life in danger right now, she would have snatched the phone away from him and demanded an explanation. She needed to know what was going on between him and Qi Ya!

"General Lu, it's me," Shi Mo replied.

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. After a long while, Lu Hanchuan's voice came again, "Hmm, is there something"

Listening to this strange and distant tone, Shi Mo felt something was off. It seemed like there was something wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint it.

"It's nothing much, just heard that Lu Zong has been getting along well with Miss Qi Ya these two days. Are you two together" Shi Mo asked.

He asked very directly.

Fu Xiaoyao's heart was about to jump out of her chest, worried that he would be unhappy if he asked such a direct question.

However, it turned out her worry was somewhat excessive. Lu Hanchuan wasn't angry at all, instead he remained very calm.

"Where did you hear that I'm close to Xiao Ya" Lu Hanchuan asked back.

At the sound of Xiao Ya's words, Fu Xiaoyao's heart turned cold. She couldn't help but bite her lip.

Little Ya....

What an excessive, familiar yet distant title.

She still remembered that when he and Qi Ya hadn't broken up yet, he used to call her that.

Didn't his use of that special nickname for Qi Ya just say it all

He must have gotten back together with Qi Ya, otherwise how could they be so intimate on the phone.

"Brother..." Fu Xiaoyao called out to Shi Mo in a weak, mosquito-like voice.

Shi Mo looked at her, his eyes questioning why she was upset.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled wryly, tears swirling in her eyes, "Hang up, there's no need to ask."

"When..." Mo was silent for two seconds, "Really don't ask"

"It's pointless." Fu Xiaoyao said with self-deprecating amusement.

Shi Mo sighed, “Alright.”

After agreeing, he took his phone back to his ear, "Sorry, Mr. Lu, my sister is going through something upsetting and I need to comfort her. I'll have to end the call here. Goodbye!"

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and threw it aside.

Fu Xiaoyao closed her eyes, her voice filled with undisguised sorrow and loneliness. "Actually, I really don't understand what men's hearts are made of. What am I to Lu Hanchuan When I was around, he still cared about Qi Ya. For Qi Ya, he wanted my bone marrow. Then later, he fell in love with me and moved on from Qi Ya, but..."

At this point, she choked back a sob and slightly lifted her head, blinking her eyes as if trying to hold back tears. "But now that I'm gone, he's gotten close to Qi Ya again. Doesn't this mean that the person he loves most is actually Qi Ya"

Shi Mo listened to her words, not knowing how to respond.

"Brother, could you give me a moment to cool down"

"Okay," Shi Mo nodded. "But I'm only giving you one hour. In an hour, we leave."

"Hmm." Fu Xiaoyao responded softly.

Shi Mo stepped out of the ward, and Assistant Cheng naturally followed him.

After they left, he asked, "Has Mr. Lu said anything about when Yao Yao's funeral will be"

"If you say so, then tomorrow it is." Cheng's assistant replied.

Shi Mo nodded, "Don't tell Yao Yao about this, she can't take too many blows."

"Understood," said Assistant Cheng, "But I just find it absurd. Miss never died, and yet Mr. Lu wants to erect a tombstone for her. It's really..."

"There's nothing we can do about it. To President Lu and the others, Yao Yao is indeed dead," Shi Mo interrupted him.

Cheng the assistant scratched his hair, "I know, that's why I'm even more surprised. For Lu Zong and the others, Miss has indeed died, but it hasn't been long! How could he have become friends with Miss' enemies again Most importantly, Qi Ya is a close sister to Miss! What's the difference between what Lu Zong did and marrying Ehuang"

Shi Mo didn't respond, his eyes grew much colder, devoid of the usual warmth. "There must be some reason behind this that we don't know about, but they've hidden it too well. We can't figure it out for a while, but we can't afford not to investigate."

"When we return home, we can arrange a team to stay here and secretly investigate. Once they have uncovered the truth, they can send the results abroad." Assistant Cheng suggested.

Shi Mo pinched the bridge of his nose, "There's no other way, I'll leave this to you. Make it beautiful."

"Don't worry, Shizong." Cheng's assistant patted his chest.

In the following hours, the two talked about Shijia's affairs again. An hour later, Shi Mo returned to the ward.

"Are you calm now" he asked.

Fu Xiaoyao looked up at him, her whole being an inexplicable calmness. "That's enough,"

Shi Mo sized her up for a few moments. "Are you alright"

Fu Xiaoyao smiled at him, "It's okay, let's go, brother."

"Are you really alright" Shi Mo was still a little worried.

This is only an hour, even if you're calmest person, it's impossible to be this calm.

Conversely, such calmness made him even more worried.

“It's really fine, I've already made up my mind. When I get abroad, if the doctor says I can recover, I'll contact Lu Hanchuan myself and tell him that I'm still alive. I want to hear an explanation from him in person. If he still cares about me, I believe he will come looking for me.” Fu Xiaoyao said softly.

Shi Mo looked at her, "Then if..."

Fu Xiaoyao knew what he was going to say, her eyes darkened. “Let’s go, brother. If we don’t leave now, we’ll miss our flight.”

She changed the subject, seeming not to want to talk about things that couldn't be cured.

Shi Mo saw that she was avoiding the topic, sighed inwardly, and followed her lead by not bringing it up. He walked over, lifted her from the bed, and placed her in a wheelchair, pushing her out of the ward.

On the way to the airport, Shi Mo kept an eye on Fu Xiaoyao's every move.

He thought she might change her mind because she couldn't bear to leave Lu Hanchuan, or because she felt sorry for him and Qi Ya. Maybe she would suddenly say she wouldn't go abroad.

Unexpectedly, she remained eerily silent, gazing out the window the entire time. She didn't utter a single word, not even when we reached the airport, got off the car, and picked up our boarding passes. She was still utterly quiet.

It seems she has really made up her mind to go abroad.

That's good too, going abroad is her only option now, and it's also the best choice for her.

"Yao Yao, boarding is starting. I'm giving you one last chance to change your mind. Do you want to stay" Even though Shi Mo already knew Fu Xiao Yao's determination, he still gave her a choice before she boarded the plane.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't answer him immediately. Instead, she turned her head to look towards the airport gate first, then turned back and looked towards the boarding gate, and suddenly smiled, "I'll go with you!"

Shi Mo also smiled, "Since you have made your choice, then I'll tell you, before your injuries recover, I won't allow you to come back, understand"

"I understand, and I'm ready." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

"Well then, let's board the plane." Shi Mo pushed her towards the check-in counter.

Later, Cheng the assistant pushed several suitcases, struggling to keep up.

After checking their tickets, the three people boarded the plane successfully.

Shi Mo ordered first class, and there were only three of them in the cabin.

Fu Xiaoyao sat by the window, her eyes filled with both anticipation and uncertainty as she gazed outside. She hoped that this trip abroad would heal the wounds on her body, but at the same time, she felt lost, wondering what she would do if they didn't heal.

Soon, the plane took off. Fu Xiaoyao temporarily put these thoughts aside and waited for the plane to taxi before soaring into the sky.

As the plane soared into the clouds, just before disappearing into the sky, she cast one last glance down through the window at the land that had nurtured her growth. In her heart, she silently uttered a farewell.

Lu Hanchuan, goodbye...."It's okay, I'll just lift it up later. Honey, please have your milk first." 。Aunt Song took the medicine box from her and placed it gently to the side. 。Fu Xiao Yao hummed in response, holding the m...
