Chapter 879 - : Farewell (1/2)

Yang Yun and Gu Chengli turned around at the exact same moment and looked at He Xiyan who stood at the doorway.

Yang Yun frowned and exclaimed in surprise when she spotted the backpack that He Xiyan was carrying, “Miss Chen, what’s wrong? Why are you carrying a backpack on your shoulders?”

He Xiyan smiled politely and walked over to take Yang Yun’s hands in hers. Then, she said, “Aunty, Uncle, thanks for having me around. I’ve got to attend to some matters at home, so I’ll be heading back to Ming City first.”

“You just arrived yesterday, so why…” Gu Chengli said with a frown and looked at her doubtfully.

He Xiyan nodded politely at Jiahang’s father and continued smiling politely at him. She didn’t know what else she could do but to carry on smiling.

She thought for a moment before she said calmly, “Uncle, I’m sorry that I can’t spend more time with the both of you. There are many things I have to attend to in school and at the shop, so I have to rush back. The children can’t attend class without a teacher.”

She deliberately said she had to rush back because she didn’t want Jiahang’s parents to feel obligated to try to make her stay.

Sigh…

Yang Yun sighed after she heard He Xiyan’s words and rose to her feet. Then, she patted He XIyan’s shoulders and said awkwardly, “This is so sudden and I haven’t prepared a farewell gift for you. I’m so…”

“Aunty, you’re too kind,” He Xiyan quickly said with a smile. She was afraid that Jiahang’s mother would continue exchanging pleasantries with her.

Moreover, she rushed over to Jingzhou with Jiahang and hadn’t prepared any gifts herself, so even if Jiahang’s parents were to give her something, she would be too embarrassed to accept it.

He Xiyan went downstairs after bidding his parents farewell and saw Jiahang waiting for her.
