It took her quite a while before recovering. âYoung lady! This is such a big thing and you didnât tell us? Youâre already on a plane and going before telling us! You⦠this child!â
Mrs. Jiang was beyond angry. âIâm sorry, Mom,â Jiang Yujie said. âDo you even care about us! This is such a big issue and you didnât even discuss it with us!â Mrs. Jiang fumed. Jiang Yujie forced back her tears and choked on a sob before saying, âI didnât want to agree at first. If I was the only child left in the family, I wouldnât go for sure, but isnât Brother already back? I donât have to worry that thereâd be no one taking care of you, so I can work without worries.â
Jiang Yujie sniffed, saying, âI just want to get more experience while Iâm young and have more development opportunities. And going overseas⦠earns a lot more.â
âDoesnât B City have more opportunities? So many top talents from all around the country come to B City for development. How much opportunity is that! And youâre going the opposite way? Do the other cities offer as many opportunites as B City?â
âMom, Iâve already given my agreement to the company. Thereâs no chance now to regret it,â Jiang Yujie said.
âThen why didnât you tell us earlier? Why only now? There wasnât even a hint before!â Mrs. Jiang raged.
âWasnât I afraid of you guys disagreeing?â Jiang Yujie said.
Mr. Jiangâs face then appeared behind Mrs. Jiang in the video.
âBut where are you going? For how long?â Mr. Jiang asked.
Jiang Yujie was stuck momentarily before saying, âIâm not sure how long, itâs up to the company. As to whereâ¦â
âDonât tell me you donât even know where youâre going? Whereâs your flight to?â Mr. Jiang questioned lowly.
Jiang Yujie quickly bluffed, âTo G City!â
âIs it?â Jiang Huaizhouâs voice rang out.
Jiang Yujie then saw Jiang Huaizhou appearing behind Mrs. Jiang and beside Mr. Jiang. âGive me your companyâs number, Iâll call them for details. Since you arenât willing to share, I can only ask your company.â âBrother!â Jiang Yujie quickly called out. âSince when do family members call companies for information?â âThen tell me the truth, where are you going? Did you leave because of me?â Jiang Huaizhou questioned.
âNever! Brother, donât think that way. I⦠I naturally wish to stay in B City more and have the whole family together. But Iâm grown now. I have to plan for myself. Isnât it good to gain experience and see the outside world when one is still young?â Jiang Yujie said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mrs. Jiang almost believed her words.
But not Jiang Huaizhou.
There were too many loopholes in Jiang Yujieâs words.
âBrother, the planeâs gonna take off soon. The air stewardess is asking me to end the call,â Jiang Yujie said. âIâm hanging up.â
âWait!â Mr. Jiang called out. âYouâll contact us when you land, right? Allay our worries. Youâre alone at a foreign place so far away, a young lady at that. How can we be assured?â
âMmm,â Jiang Yujie agreed noncommitally. âWill do.â
She didnât dare look at the three faces in the
video.
Mr. Jiang frowned. âYouâre not lying to us, right? Yujie, whatâs going on?â
