Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Leaving

Xia Yue was on the verge of tears, unsure of how to prove herself.

"Big brother, everything I’ve said is true. Perhaps in the near future, you’ll see things go well for me. All I’ve shared with you is true, and the cooperation project I’m involved in has the state’s participation, so there’s no problem."

"As for the authenticity of Yan Mo, you’ll see when he picks me up when we leave in six days. You can come to see me off, and then decide if I’ve been deceived or not." Xia Yue said, trying her best to convince her elder brother that she hadn’t been fooled.

Xia Yu looked at her closely, and she didn’t seem to be lying.

"Alright, I’ll come over and stay at your place the day before." Xia Yu nodded.

"Okay, any other questions?" Xia Yue nodded back, asking.

"Not for now," Xia Yu replied.

"Let’s go visit our grandparents then. We haven’t seen them for a while and it would be best to do so before we’re accused of neglecting them." Xia Yue suggested.

"Yeah, let’s go." Xia Yu nodded once more.

Xia Yu took Xia Yue to the villa of their grandparents, where they had a chat.

Xia Yue spoke of her new job, explaining that it required her to relocate to a different province for a long period of time, and she asked them to take good care of themselves.

Mr. and Mrs. Xia knew their granddaughter very well; she would always choose comfort over hard work.

She had left the Xia household only a few days ago and already she had found a job, not to mention one that required her to move out of the province.

They both asked if she was having any difficulties. Xia Yue brushed it off with a wave of her hand, laughing as she told them that she should be working anyway. She might have some savings, but it wasn’t sustainable in the long run.

Mr. and Mrs. Xia didn’t press her any further, even though they knew she was deflecting. They advised her to not bear issues alone. Even if she wasn’t their biological granddaughter, they had raised her and would help her as much as they could.

Indeed, Mr. Xia was arranging for a private investigation into an old matter, but due to its age, the results were not yet available. It was likely to take about a month.

The two left the ancestral home in the late afternoon and headed to the villa in the suburbs.

Over the next two days, Xia Yue visited her aunt and her third aunt, also informing them about her departure.

For the remaining four days, she packed her belongings at a leisurely pace.

She planned to pack them well and have Xia Yu ship them to her later, carrying only a few changes of clothes and everyday essentials for her own journey.

As promised, Xia Yu came to stay at her place the night before she left.

Xia Yue handed over the villa password and authority to him, asking him to help her clean up now and then.

On the day of her departure, Yan Mo and Chen Bing arrived at the villa. Yan Mo had sent a message to Xia Yue the moment they entered the Villa District.

By the time they arrived, Xia Yue and Xia Yu were already outside with a medium-sized suitcase.

"Big brother, they’re here." Xia Yue said to Xia Yu as she glimpsed the car.

"Hmm." Xia Yu’s face didn’t look too good.

After the car stopped, Chen Bing got out and greeted Xia Yue with a smile.

"And who is this gentleman?" Chen Bing asked, looking at Xia Yu beside Xia Yue.

"This is my elder brother, Xia Yu. He was worried I might be deceived, so he wanted to ensure Mr. Yan Mo was real," Xia Yue explained.

Yan Mo, hearing Xia Yue’s words, stepped out of the car, rested his hands on the car’s window, and looked at them.

"Big brother, this is Mr. Yan Mo." Xia Yue introduced the two, smiling at Xia Yu.

"I see," Xia Yu, looking at Yan Mo, felt a lot surprised inside. He hadn’t expected Xia Yue to be telling the truth about the collaboration with Yan Mo. But he hid his surprise, preserving his poker face.
