Chapter 60 Growing Greedier

"Ah?" Shi Zhaodi was instantly dazed.

She had never once thought about going abroad with Jiang Haoen.

Even though she knew the Jiang family had always planned to send him abroad for continued treatment and further studies once he made a full recovery.

She knew she had no choice along that path.

On one hand, the Jiang family would never make such an arrangement; on the other hand, it was impossible for her to leave her mother behind.

Even if she didn't have to leave the Jiang family in the future, she would only stay in the Jiang family mansion and quietly wait for Jiang Haoen to return to the country.

Yet now, Jiang Haoen was asking her if she wanted to go abroad with him?

"Brother, I can't!" Shi Zhaodi gently shook her head and replied. "I like going to school here."

Jiang Haoen looked at her deeply, and in the end, said nothing more.

"Brother, I'm heading back. You should go to sleep early too. Good night!" Shi Zhaodi shouldered her backpack and said quietly to Jiang Haoen.

Jiang Haoen nodded.

Shi Zhaodi walked out of the room with her head lowered and returned to her own bedroom.

She grabbed some clothes and went to take a shower.

After finishing, she returned to her bedroom, sat at the head of the bed, and read for a while before her mother returned.

Housekeeper Shi closed the door and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Mom—" Shi Zhaodi called out softly; she knew her mother definitely had something to say to her upon coming back.

"Didn't I tell you not to go and disturb the young master during this period? Why didn't you listen?" Housekeeper Shi knitted her brows, her tone sounding somewhat stern as she asked.

"Mom, I didn't." Shi Zhaodi offered a low defense.

"With what happened today, what do you expect Miss Dora to think? Mom knows you are hurting and finding this difficult, but child, do not harbor unrealistic desires for people and things that do not belong to us. That will only ruin us in the end." Housekeeper Shi sighed, holding her daughter's hand as she spoke with helpless resignation.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. Mom, I'm sorry!" Shi Zhaodi hugged her mother and wept as she apologized.

Her mother had always been gentle and loving, never once raising her voice at her since she was a child. She could count on one hand the times her mother had spoken to her with such severity.

She also knew her mother had no other choice.

"Child, after you finish your high school entrance examinations, we will be leaving the Jiang family. By then, everything here will have nothing to do with us anymore," Housekeeper Shi said heavily.

"Mom, I know, I know I shouldn't have inappropriate thoughts about Brother, and I know I should stay far away from him. But sometimes I truly can't do it. I really like Brother, and I don't even know what I will do if one day I have to leave him.

"I originally thought having some wonderful memories would be enough, but now I realize I am becoming greedier and greedier. I want to be with Brother, together for a lifetime, never to be separated." Shi Zhaodi said through sobs.
