The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440 -439

“And what about Yang Jiashu? Just watching you get hit?” Jiang Nanshu continued to ask.

If that was the case, she would storm over to the Yang Family and give Yang Jiashu a beating first.

Xu Xi shook her head again: “It was his mother who approached me first. She wanted to give me a check for five million to leave Jiashu. I refused, and then she accused me of wanting to ruin the Yang Family and slapped me. Jiashu came later, and he got slapped too for helping me. He didn’t want his mom to make a scene with me, so he left with her.”

Xu Xi stood up and guided Jiang Nanshu to sit on an unaffected sofa.

After all, she was pregnant and sitting for a long time was uncomfortable.

Jiang Nanshu asked her, “So what do you plan to do now?”

Xu Xi lowered her head: “I don’t know… I’m just a host without much fame. Yang Jiashu comes from a powerful family; I really am not his match.”

“Do you want to just let it go?”

Xu Xi didn’t reply for a moment.

Let it go…

How to let go.

She had known Yang Jiashu for more than a day or two—it had been seven years.

During the years Jiang Nanshu had been in a vegetative state, it was Yang Jiashu who had stayed by her side.

So she didn’t start dating him right after he confessed.

Because she liked him too.

To say she wasn’t sad would be a lie, but what could she do?

If Yang Jiashu didn’t enter into an arranged marriage, the Yang Family’s fate might be bad. With their current capabilities, they absolutely couldn’t extricate themselves from that whirlpool.

Thus, Mrs. Yang’s words were definitive, forcing Jiashu to return.

“I feel like I can’t be so selfish as to let Jiashu abandon the Yang Family, but I also hope I can be a little selfish. What should I do in the future though? He comes from an entire family, whereas I can’t offer him much.” Xu Xi’s demeanor was very downcast: “Jiashu said… He asked me to go abroad with him, that as long as I’m with him, it would be okay, but… I can’t be that selfish. If something happens to the Yang Family in the future, would Jiashu regret the decision he’s making today?”

Like a lost lamb unable to find its way out.

Facing her situation, Jiang Nanshu felt helpless too.

She couldn’t force Yang Jiashu to be with Xu Xi, nor could she advise them to ignore obstacles, abandoning everything to flee from Beijing.

Like Xu Xi said, if something truly happened to the Yang Family…

Would they still be able to be as resolute as they are now?

Would they become a couple full of resentment?

Xu Xi leaned on Jiang Nanshu’s shoulder, drawing warmth: “Love is not the only thing in our lives. Without it, I can still live.”

Xu Xi didn’t see herself as a Cinderella lost outside, needing a prince to save her.

She had her own family, a respectable job, and could earn a living with her own hands.

Xu Xi was speaking like that.

Jiang Nanshu knew that Xu Xi had come to a realization.

Yes, love is not the only thing in life. There’s no need to be so dramatic over it. She wrapped an arm around Xu Xi: “So what do you want to do? Whatever decision you make, I’ll support you.”

“I’m also twenty-five this year, finished with grad school, and the school has offered me a spot to study abroad. I was going to refuse because of Jiashu, but now I feel like I might try a new life.”

Jiang Nanshu was momentarily stunned: “You’re going abroad?”

Xu Xi turned to Jiang Nanshu with a smile: “Yeah, I’ve decided to go abroad. I’ll resign from the station and go abroad to get my Ph.D. It’s better for everyone that way. Ah, don’t look so down, it’s only for two years and when I return, the kid can call me godmother.”
