311 Motion Sickness (1/2)

Grabbing Hua Dexing and Hua Xiaorong by the scruff, Xiao Luo dragged them out and hurled into the minivan they arrived with. He then went back into the house, retrieved the gifts they brought along, and dumped them into the vehicle. This was precisely how his father had been treated back then, and Xiao Luo wanted his uncle to know how it felt being humiliated. He couldn't understand how Hua Dexing could still have the gall to borrow money from him and even castigate him when he refused. It was as if he was in the wrong for not lending Hua Dexing the money.

”Son, have we been a little too harsh?” Hua Heying said, a look of worry written all over her face.

Xiao Luo shook his head, ”It's true that he's my uncle, but that doesn't mean that he can just swagger in here and step on our heads, yelling at us as he pleases.”

While Hua Yeying nodded, her brows were still knitted as she was feeling very uneasy about the affair.

As for the Mount Luo Ranch project, Xiao Luo had initially thought that he would have to do everything himself. But after some observation, he realized that his father was more than capable of handling the work. The farm was gradually coming to shape according to the plan. He was somewhat relieved knowing that he could rely on someone else to oversee the project.

At the same time, Luo Workshop was also restarting its operation for the new year.

Zhang Dashan had come to Luo Village, and couldn't help flaunting his image of prosperity as he drove in with his Land Rover SV Autobiography. After he picked Xiao Luo up, they set off for Jiangcheng City. Before expanding the company to Xiahai, Xiao Luo had to tie up loose ends at the Luo Workshop headquarters so that he could wholeheartedly focus on the company's development in Xiahai without worry.

The New Year mood was slowly fading, and Xiao Luo came back in time for the festival of lanterns, after which he bid farewell to his family then embarked on his journey to Xiahai.

Ji Siying's business vehicle was on loan from the NSA's Zhoukou City branch. She was to return it upon her arrival at Zhoukou City as she wasn't expected to go to Xiahai anytime soon. Seeing that the entire Cobra Mercenary Corps had been wiped out and that 20 NSA fighters had perished at Luo Mountain, she had much to report to the authorities at NSA, Zhoukou City.

”Mr. Xiao Luo, see you in Xiahai!”

At the branch station entrance, Ji Siying parted with Xiao Luo and gave him a warm smile.

”Alright.”

Xiao Luo nodded, then turned and left.

As Ji Siying stood alone now, a tinge of disappointment showed on her alluring face. She was expecting him to say a little more, after what they had been through together. But as she glanced at the jade bracelet she wore on her wrist, she smiled with the innocence of a young girl who had just met her first love.

It wasn't that she had forgotten about the bracelet, she intentionally chose not to remember it. Now that she thought about it, she pondered if Xiao Luo had also intentionally done the same, and in doing so, would the jade bracelet now belonged to her? When she thought of that, her face flushed, looking as sweet as she had just eaten honey.

...

At six in the evening, Xiao Luo arrived at the airport. He heard the boarding call for passengers bound to Xiahai City announced, requiring passengers to proceed to the departure gate immediately. Before he picked up his luggage to make his way there, he sent a message to Su Li: ”Miss Su, I'll be arriving at the Xiahai City Airport at around 8pm tonight!”

”Okay, I'll send my men to pick you up at exit A.”

Su Li only replied with a single sentence, nothing more.

Xiao Luo didn't send any more messages out and switched his phone to airplane mode.

After queuing through the gate, he walked along the aerobridge into the plane. At the cabin door, the purser and a flight attendant greeted each boarding passenger.

”Yo, pretty lady, why don't you give me your contact? You look like my girlfriend!”

A male passenger flirted with the flight attendant as he boarded the plane. Indeed, it was a cringe-worthy, tacky pickup line.
