Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Do You Hate to See Me Go Abroad?

Huo Shiyuan looked coldly at Gu Hanchen and said, “We are not so desperate that we have to steal your rabbit.”

Gu Hanchen looked behind him at Zhong Xiaoyi, “You gave the Children’s Day gift I gave to you to another child?”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “Shouldn’t a gift you gave me be mine to dispose of?”

Gu Hanchen yelled, “I will never give you any gifts again! Shiyan! Give me back the rabbit!”

Xiao Shihuo, startled by Gu Hanchen’s angry demeanor, burst into Huo Shiyuan’s arms, as no one had ever gotten so angry at him before.

Huo Shiyuan frowned and said to Gu Hanchen, “Can’t you speak nicely to the child?”

Yuan Xi knelt down in front of Xiao Shihuo and said, “Give him the rabbit, and when we get back to A city, your brother and sister will take you to a pet shop to pick a new rabbit.”

Xiao Shihuo obediently handed the rabbit to Gu Hanchen.

Mrs. Gu walked over to Gu Hanchen and knocked on his head, “You are almost thirty years old, and you are still fighting with a child over a small rabbit?”

Gu Hanchen said, “It was originally my rabbit.”

Mrs. Gu hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, President Huo, Xiao Xi, we’ve made a fool of ourselves.”

Yuan Xi said, “It’s fine, I’m used to it.”

After getting into the car, Xiao Shihuo reluctantly looked at the rabbit and said, “Uncle Yingying, you must take good care of the rabbit, and if you can’t, let me take care of it!”

Gu Hanchen replied gruffly, “I will take good care of the rabbit.”

After the car drove away, Chairman Gu glared at his son, “You’re nearly thirty years old, fighting over a rabbit with a six-year-old child? You’ve grown more capable with age!”

Gu Hanchen said, “What do you mean I’m fighting? It’s my rabbit.”

Gu Hanchen looked sideways at Zhong Xiaoyi, “Back to Jiangjing No.1.”

Zhong Xiaoyi came over, pushed Gu Hanchen’s wheelchair, helped him into the car, and folded the wheelchair into the trunk.

On the way, Gu Hanchen, with an angry face, glared at Zhong Xiaoyi and said, “The rabbit I gave you, you just don’t cherish it?”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “I do cherish it. I trust that the young master of the Shi Family is a kind and sensible good child. Entrusting the rabbit to him, I believe he will give the rabbit the best life. I have to go to Australia for studies by the end of July… I can’t afford private planes, so I’m afraid the rabbit can’t come with me to Australia. The young master of the Shi family will be the best little master for the rabbit.”

Gu Hanchen frowned, “Why haven’t you given up on the idea of studying abroad? Isn’t studying domestically just as good?”

Zhong Xiaoyi glanced at Gu Hanchen and said, “It’s different.”

Gu Hanchen said, “What did you say when you first joined Mi Chen? That you wouldn’t resign easily, and now? You want to resign after just one year! You’re still a child.”

Zhong Xiaoyi looked outside the car.

Gu Hanchen frowned and said, “How many years will you study? One year, two years? When will you come back?”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “I don’t know.”

Gu Hanchen said, “You don’t know how many years you will study?”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “Oh, the program is one year, but I’m not sure if I will stay in Australia…”

Gu Hanchen said, “You really want to spread your wings, Mrs. Zhong has only you as a daughter, yet without a word, you go abroad to study and stay overseas. What will Mrs. Zhong do?”

Zhong Xiaoyi said softly, “When my mom really gets very old, I will come back.”

Mrs. Zhong left Gu Hanchen, and Zhong Xiaoyi can go back to her hometown with her mom, that will be completely unrelated to Gu Hanchen.

Gu Hanchen said, “Suit yourself!”

Mrs. Zhong had just finished cleaning up Jiangjing No.1. Everything inside was quite clean. Gu Hanchen entered the house and said he wanted to eat some small wontons.

Zhong Xiaoyi took the ingredients out of the refrigerator, put the meat into the grinder, and started rolling out the wonton wrappers.

Gu Hanchen had been chatting with friends on his phone and was wondering whether to take a trip to Jiangye. He had been cooped up in the hospital for a while and looked up to see Zhong Xiaoyi busy in the open kitchen.

A pot of pork bone soup was simmering nearby.

Gu Hanchen suddenly felt this scene was incredibly cozy. Jiang City’s Dragon Boat Festival coincided with the rainy season, with irritatingly fine rain soaking the humid air outside.

Inside the house, under the bright kitchen lights, the girl wore a figure-hugging dress with a slender waist…

For the first time, Gu Hanchen felt there was nothing appealing about the noisy places in Jiangye!

Zhong Xiaoyi absently made a bowl of wontons. “Mr. Gu, it’s ready to eat.”

Gu Hanchen wheeled himself to the dining table and, looking at Zhong Xiaoyi washing dishes in the kitchen, said, “Mrs. Zhong could have done these.”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “I just want my mom to relax a bit.”

While eating the wontons, Gu Hanchen asked, “Do you have friends in Australia? Isn’t it dangerous for a young girl like you to go abroad alone?”

Zhong Xiaoyi replied, “My cousin is in Australia. I will be staying at her house.”

Gu Hanchen said, “Even your own cousin is not trustworthy enough.”

Zhong Xiaoyi smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Gu. I’ll be careful.”

Gu Hanchen said, “What peace of mind can I have? I can’t be at peace with you going to Australia alone.”

Hearing this from Gu Hanchen, Zhong Xiaoyi turned back to look at him, “Mr. Gu…”

Gu Hanchen said, “If something happens to you abroad, Mrs. Zhong would be distracted and couldn’t work properly! I hope you’ll reconsider going to Australia.”

Zhong Xiaoyi took a deep breath; she turned the tap on full blast and vigorously scrubbed the grinder with a cloth, but the blade of the grinder accidentally cut her hand.

Only under the running water did Zhong Xiaoyi’s tears fall.

Gu Hanchen heard Zhong Xiaoyi crying, set down his spoon, and limped from the wheelchair to her side.

Gu Hanchen looked at the cut on Zhong Xiaoyi’s hand. “I told you not to wash; you’re too careless. And still, you insist on going abroad to study alone?”

Zhong Xiaoyi pulled her hand back from Gu Hanchen’s grip, “It’s fine, a band-aid will do.”

Gu Hanchen said, “I’ll call the driver; you need to go to the hospital to get it properly dressed.”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “I’m really alright. The doctors will laugh at me for such a small wound.”

“Why are you crying then?”

Gu Hanchen, with red-rimmed eyes, asked, “Where’s the first aid kit?”

Zhong Xiaoyi fetched the first aid kit.

Gu Hanchen took out an iodine swab and applied it to Zhong Xiaoyi’s wound. “Don’t make wontons anymore.”

Zhong Xiaoyi nodded, “Okay.”

She didn’t like wontons; it was Gu Hanchen who liked them. She made them from scratch, but once she left Gu Hanchen, she naturally wouldn’t need to make them anymore.

Gu Hanchen put a band-aid on Zhong Xiaoyi, “Girls are delicate; is it necessary to cry over such a small cut? How are you going to study abroad in Australia alone? You should cancel your plan to study in Australia. It’s the same studying here in China, right? Just stay here and focus on preparing for your exams.”

Looking at Gu Hanchen in front of her, Zhong Xiaoyi pursed her lips gently, “Mr. Gu, do you not want me to go abroad?”
