1011 The Slim and Graceful Bai Jing (1/2)

Xuxu halted in her steps and turned her head, confused. ”Yes?”

Su Yue asked, ”When is my brother coming back?”

”What's wrong?” Xuxu sized Su Yue up suspiciously. There was something up with this girl.

She seemed to be troubled.

Su Yue hesitated before speaking up. ”I want to go back. Bai Jing's mother is going overseas and won't be at home, so I want to invite her to live with me in my home.”

'So it was because of this,' Xuxu thought as she smiled.

She said, ”Both of you can't take care of yourselves.”

Then she thought for a moment and continued, ”Why don't you invite her here for two days, isn't it the same?”

She had been cooped up at home during the holidays. She didn't go out with her friends or classmates, so of course, it would bore her.

”It's fine. Both of us can go over to my brother's place.” Su Yue continued confidently, ”Bai Jing can cook, so we'll be fine.”

Xuxu shook her head. ”No, I'll be worried.”

Su Yue grabbed on to her elbow and persuaded, ”Third sister-in-law, there's no need to worry. I'm not a kid anymore. I need to learn to be independent.”

It amused Xuxu, so she asked, ”Where did you learn this concept from?”

Su Yue replied, ”When I go to university, I'd need to stay in school so I have to learn to be independent. I can't always depend on you, Third sister-in-law.”

It made sense—the girl was already 18. Soon, there'd be a day where she would leave her, start dating then get married. She should let go so Su Yue could learn how to be independent.

Xuxu thought for a while, then nodded. ”Okay, I'll send you over in a bit.”

She then asked, ”Do we need to fetch Bai Jing?”

That lass knew how to cook, so there shouldn't be a problem letting them live alone for one or two days.

Su Yue was delighted when Xuxu nodded. She shook her head in reply. ”Nope, she has a chauffeur that will send her there.”

”Okay,” Xuxu replied, pursing her lips. She watched Su Yue, her eyes still filled with worry.

'But… Aish.'
