Xiao Jiu stood at the door of the Washington Hotel, tilting his neck, looking at the sky-high building, "What kind of demons and monsters live in here!" ”

Ji Lian dragged Xiao Jiu, still with the same advice, "Wait for me here, or go outside for a walk!" ”

"It's been half a month! Miss, I'm about to rot the streets around here! ”

"Then go a little farther ......"

"Miss, do you want me to go around all of Washington and then come back and urge you to go home?"

"Hmm...... That will take a long time, right? ”

"Don't you wish for as long as possible?"

"......" Ji Lian was silent.

Xiao Jiu saw that Ji Lian was silent, and he only felt tired! What the hell is going on here?!

"Alright, alright, you go up......"

"Eun!"

Ji Lian answered, and hurriedly got on the elevator.

Xiao Jiu ordered a cup of coffee and sat alone in the café downstairs of the hotel, pondering uneasily......

It has been two years since Ji Xiu's brother and sister moved here, and she has been helping in the Ji family...... It's mental derailment!

This is how it goes......

She held the mobile phone in her hand and hesitated, should she sue Young Master Ji Xiu? Still is...... Report directly to Mr. Li Yixing?

At this moment, in Bai Lin's room, the atmosphere was not as relaxed as a few days ago, but a little heavy.

Ji Lian still sat on the sofa as usual, but her head was buried very low, staring at the magazine on the coffee table, but she didn't pay attention to the content of the magazine at all...... It's the ticket that was in the magazine.

Bai Bailin stood on one side, leaning on the back of the single sofa on the left, holding a coffee cup in one hand and sipping it lightly.

"I probably already know about you, you have been living with your brother for twenty-six years, do you plan to live under your brother's protection forever?"

“……”

Ji Lian pursed her lips, she was a little at a loss.

"Come back to Jiangcheng with me, I can teach you systematically. I know you have talent, and this half month, you should also feel that you like design. ”

"My brother...... I won't agree. ”

Bai Bailin shrugged his shoulders, "I booked this ticket for you, whether you use it or not, it doesn't matter if you don't use it." In a word...... I'm done with business in the United States, and I have to go back to Jiangcheng. ”

"That'...... Won't you teach me again? ”

"I will definitely teach you again if I have the chance."

“……”

Having said that, Ji Lian could hear that there was too much uncertainty in his words.

If she didn't go back to Jiangcheng with him, she naturally wouldn't have such an opportunity for him to teach herself, and ...... I'm afraid the chances of seeing him in the future are even more slim.

Somehow, the thought that she would never see Mr. Lu again in the future made her heart ache tightly.

"The choice is yours."

Ji Lian could imagine that if he honestly discussed with Ji Xiu, he would not agree to let him go to Jiangcheng no matter what......

But if you don't tell sù Ji Xiu, is it ...... And the one who escaped?

"Don't worry about your legs, I will find the most authoritative orthopedic surgeon for you to treat you." As before.

“……”

"I don't have to worry about accommodation, work, etc."

Ji Lian looked up at him, "Mr. Lu...... You...... Will it be too good for me? ”

"If you don't have a talent for jewelry design, I won't even look at you."

“……”

Ji Lian swallowed her saliva, and for a while she didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed by this sentence.

"Let's go back early today, in fact, I have already taught you the most basic things, even if you explore it yourself in the future, you can do it."

“……”

Ji Lian looked at the ticket on the coffee table, stared at it for a long time, and raised her hand to put the ticket into her bag.

"I'm waiting for you at the airport, if you don't come, then ...... It's fate to see you again. ”

……

"Miss......"

Xiao Jiu saw Ji Lian coming out of the elevator, looking like a lost ghost, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

“…… Nothing, go home. ”

“……”

When she got home, Ji Lian went upstairs alone and closed the door tightly, Xiao Jiu didn't know what was going on, and she was also in a hurry.

When Ji Xiu came back, he saw the shoes outside the door, his brows furrowed slightly, and he hurriedly asked Xiao Jiu, "Xiao Lian went out again today?" ”

“…… Kindness. ”

"Where did you go today?"

“…… Shopping......"

"Shopping again?"

Ji Xiu's brows furrowed, he only felt that something was wrong, his sharp eyes fell on Xiao Jiu, and Xiao Jiu was a little hairy all over......

"Are you and Xiao Ren hiding something from me?"

"Huh? No......"

Ji Xiu's eyes narrowed, "Really not?" ”

“…… Kindness. ”

Xiao Jiu lowered his head and answered.

Ji Xiu took a deep breath, "In the past half a month, I'm afraid this is the seventh time you've been shopping, right?" And that's not even counting what you said about going to the library, going to concerts, and so on! ”

“……”

"Where's Ji Lian?"

"Miss is in the upstairs room."

Ji Xiu pursed his lips, went upstairs, and knocked on Ji Lian's door.

"Brother......

"What are you doing in the room?"

"I didn't do anything, I just ...... Draw a design. ”

"Drawing designs again?"

“…… Kindness. ”

"The studio wants you to produce a work?"

"Hmm......" Ji Lian looked up at Ji Xiu, "Brother, I'm a jewelry designer, and it's normal to draw jewelry designs at home, right?" ”

"You weren't that diligent before."

“……”

Ji Xiu walked in, "You've been going out with Xiao Jiu too hard lately, aren't you?" ”

"Uncle Jace said I need to walk around properly and can't stay home all the time, so ......"

"Really?"

“…… Kindness. ”

"Ji Lian! Look into my eyes and speak! ”

“……”

Ji Lian swallowed her saliva, and she raised her eyes to look at Ji Xiu......

"I'll ask you again, you really don't have anything to hide from me?"

"Brother, I want to ask you a question."

“……”

"Do you think I can be an amazing jewelry designer like my dad?"

"Didn't I say it, you have talent, learn slowly, and you will achieve success in the future."

"But HOME...... It's not for me. ”

"Why?"

"I always felt ...... I'm dispensable for HOME, and ...... There is no progress. ”

“……”

Ji Xiu's eyes narrowed, and he could almost conclude that what happened to this girl, or rather...... She must have come into contact with someone.

"I don't want to learn slowly, I want to learn as much as I can, brother......"

Ji Lian looked at Ji Xiu, "You will support me, right?" ”

Ji Xiu took a deep breath and stroked Ji Lian's head, "When your leg is completely healed, my brother will send you to the best design college in the United States." ”

“……”

"Come down and eat."

Ji Lian didn't mention the matter of going to Jiangcheng after all.

In the evening, Ji Xiu called Qing Wei, "From tomorrow onwards, you can help me keep an eye on Xiao Lian." ”

"Tomorrow? I'm still in New York, and I won't be in Washington until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. ”

"Anyway, when you come back, keep an eye on Ji Lian."

“…… Oh. ”
