Xu Youyou raised her head and looked into her eyes. She did not answer immediately, but her clear eyes were filled with struggle and hesitation.

For a moment, everyone’s eyes fell on her.

Mo shenbai’s hand clenched the wine glass tightly.

“What’s wrong, sister-in-law?” Mo Zhiyun was the first one to speak.

Xu Youyou did not answer her. She put down her chopsticks, took a deep breath, and mustered her courage. &Quot; I’ve decided to go abroad as an exchange student. The wedding shouldn’t be held in the next one or two years. &Quot;

In an instant, the entire restaurant was enveloped in a deathly cold.

The few of them were stunned, except for mo shenbai, who lowered his eyes and remained calm, as if he had already known.

“Leave the country?” Xu jialuo and Xu Jialu spoke almost at the same time.

“Where are you going?”

“Paris.” Xu Youyou answered.

“Why did you go abroad for?” Xu Jianshu frowned. His first reaction to her going abroad was to disagree.

&Quot; that’s right. You’re a painter. Where can’t you learn to paint? ” Xu Jialu did not agree to her going abroad. &Quot; I don’t believe that there are no good artists in the country. &Quot;

Xu Youyou looked up at him and explained patiently, ” it’s different. I want to go abroad to learn more things. I also want to expand my horizons. &Quot;

“Why are you going out to expand your horizons?” &Quot; you’re not delusional enough to want to be a modern Van Gogh or Picasso, are you? ” Xu Jialu said unhappily.

Xu Youyou bit her lip and stopped talking.

The atmosphere was heavy and dead silent.

Seeing her sad expression, Xu jiusheng felt sorry for her and said in a slow tone, ” “How long are you going to be gone?”

“Three years.” Xu Youyou’s fingers under the table clenched involuntarily.

She had thought that da Bai would be the only one to disagree, but she didn’t expect her father and brother to object as well.

“This ... Seems to be a little long.” Xu jiushu’s face was serious, and he advised in a good tone, ” “Must I go? Can’t I not go? There should be many masters in the country, I can ask them to take you as their last disciple.”

Xu Youyou’s thick eyelashes trembled slightly. She looked at him with her wet eyes and said in a soft but firm voice, ” father, I’ve decided. &Quot;

Without waiting for Xu Jiansheng’s answer, Xu Jialu suddenly stood up with a sullen face and said sternly, ” “You’ve decided? Did you ask for our opinions before you made your decision? Have you asked mo shenbai or our parents? Do you know where Paris is, how far it is, and what the time difference is? It’s not as fun as you think!”

“I’ve mentioned it to mom. I’ve been abroad before, so I know what it’s like outside.” Xu Youyou looked up at him with an unyielding expression on her pretty face. &Quot; I know what I’m going to do. You don’t have to tell me. &Quot;

Why did he think that she wanted to go and play?

Xu Jialu’s face became uglier and uglier. He was about to speak, but Cheng Ying spoke first, ” that’s enough. Aiyou, whether you want to go abroad or not, your dad and I haven’t said anything yet. It’s not your turn to speak. &Quot;

Xu Jialu’s Phoenix eyes flashed with a trace of surprise and disbelief. &Quot; are you really planning to let her go out alone? Do you know how chaotic it is outside? If something were to happen to her alone, can you guys take it?”

Cheng Ying and Xu jiushu looked tense, pursing their lips and not speaking.

Xu Jialu lowered his head and glanced at mo shenbai again. Seeing that he didn’t say a word and was anxious by himself, he said angrily, ” “Anyway, I don’t agree! If you dare to leave, I’ll break your dog legs!”

When he turned around, his knee hit the chair. The movement was too big, and the chair fell to the ground. He didn’t even look at it and strode away.

Mo Zhiyun pursed her lips. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Heyun grabbed her hand.

When she raised her head, she saw Lu He Yun shaking his head indistinctly, and the words that were about to come out of her mouth were swallowed back.

Cheng Ying took a deep breath, her expression relaxed, and said softly, ” “It’s a big deal to go abroad, and it’ll be three years. You’re already an adult, you can make your own decisions and choose how to walk your future path.

However, you’re not only an adult now, you’re also a wife. Any decision or choice must be made with respect for your partner.”

Xu Youyou bit her lip and did not say a word. She did not even dare to turn her head to look at mo shenbai’s expression at the moment.

“Your dad and I will go back first tonight. You guys can discuss it.” After Cheng Ying finished speaking, she dragged Xu jiusheng away.

Lu He Yun also left with mo Zhi Yun. They were in no position to speak about this matter.

Xu jiusheng sat in the car, frowning. &Quot; if you knew that Youyou was going abroad, why didn’t you tell me in advance? ”

&Quot; she mentioned it before, but she hasn’t made a decision. I thought she gave up on the idea. &Quot; Cheng Ying let out a sigh.

“She’s a girl, how can she go to such a far place!” Xu Jianshu said firmly, ” &Quot; I think our son is right this time. She’s not going to be Van Gogh or Picasso. It’s fine if she’s drawing at home. There’s no need for her to go so far. &Quot;

Hearing this, Cheng Ying couldn’t help but pinch his arm. &Quot; what’s wrong with being a girl? Can’t girls have dreams and pursue them? Who knows, our Youyou might be the female version of Van Gogh Picasso in the future. You should stop looking down on women.”

Xu Jianshu grimaced in pain and cried out, ” I’m not looking down on women. I just think that a girl doesn’t have to work so hard. It’s not like I can’t afford to raise her. Besides, there’s still mo shenbai! &Quot; If she leaves, it’s easy for the couple to get into trouble.”

“Who doesn’t have a hard life? even if she doesn’t go abroad, will it not be hard for her? When a woman gets married, has children, takes care of her parents-in-law, which one of these things isn’t hard?” Cheng Ying retorted him word by word, ” and it’s not like she’s missing all her limbs. Do you need to take care of her for the rest of her life? ”

Besides, if moshen Bai truly loves our Youyou, he can wait for 30 years, let alone three years.”

Xu jiusheng was speechless by his wife’s words, but he still felt uncomfortable when he thought of his precious daughter going to such a far place. &Quot; I just don’t want her to go to such a far place. I can’t sleep well at night! &Quot;

Cheng Ying let out a long sigh and said earnestly,”Do you think I’m willing to let her go to such a faraway place?”

“Then why are you still on her side?” Xu jiusheng glanced at her with a bitter look.

“Youyou was right about one thing tonight. I’m not only her mother, I’m also Cheng Ying, myself,”

Cheng Ying held his hand and said seriously,”Youyou isn’t just our daughter. She’s an independent individual. She has her own thoughts, dreams, and pursuits. We shouldn’t kidnap her in the name of love because of our own worries. She’s only in her early 20s. Do you want her to give birth to the mo family’s children and live a life that’s so easy to see?”

Xu jiushu was silent.

In the dining room, all the dishes had cooled down, and the air was filled with a bone-chilling coldness.

Xu Youyou bit her lower lip but still bravely turned her head to the side to look at the man beside her. Her pink lips curled up as she said, ” Great White, I’m sorry. &Quot;
