Spring River Chasing the Moon

Chapter 172 No Goodbye

What Nan Qiuyue didn't expect was that she was still admitted to the hospital the next day, and was carried to Jinghe directly while she was unconscious.

When she woke up, it was already afternoon.

"Cough cough..."

Nan Qiuyue's throat was very hoarse.

"Are you awake? Mom poured you a glass of water. It's been cold for a while, and now the temperature is just right. Drink some to moisten your throat."

Chen Lili took a day off today. The whole family didn't expect that Nan Qiuyue's condition had become worse when she woke up, and she couldn't be woken up no matter how they called her.

Nan Qiuyue took a big sip of water and looked at the water hanging on her hand. She couldn't help but think of the last time, in Jinghe, Xu Zhi also came to see her with gifts.

She felt like she had been in a nightmare last night, with many scenes from her past lives appearing repeatedly in her dreams.

Without the Nan family and without Xu Zhiye, she was just a broken soul in the world, wandering around.

Xu Zhi's life trajectory was different from his previous life, which made Nan Qiuyue, who had a new life, feel the fear of losing control.

It turns out that not everything is under our control.

Perhaps her change has created a series of butterfly effects, and this little change may change a person's life, or even more than one person's.

Chen Lili looked at Nan Qiuyue's pale face and felt heartbroken.

"The doctor said you can only eat light food for now. I'll make you some porridge and a steamed egg tonight, okay?"

"Your father called and said he's on vacation tomorrow. Ask him to make you something delicious then."

"When you get better, our family will go out and play for a few days."

Nan Qiuyue was in a bad mood, so Chen Lili tried hard to talk to her, hoping to arouse her interest.

"Mom, could you please bring me my cell phone from my bedside drawer? It's pretty boring in the hospital."

Nan Qiuyue glanced around the bed. Perhaps she had come in too haste, as there was nothing in the ward.

Of course Chen Lili agreed, and brought it along when she came to deliver dinner.

"This mobile phone..."

Chen Lili had never noticed when Nan Qiuyue got a cell phone.

This cannot be blamed on her. Nan Qiuyue usually sends messages to Xu Zhiye secretly, and no one at home probably knows that she has a cell phone.

Chen Lili had previously mentioned buying a mobile phone for Nan Qiuyue so that they could contact her if she had to work overtime or something.

Moreover, it would be more convenient to contact Nan Youzhao with a mobile phone, but Nan Qiuyue did not agree, saying that she had a phone at home, which was also very convenient.

"This phone was given to me by my brother a few days ago."

Nan Qiuyue didn't dare to tell the truth, nor did she say which brother it was.

Chen Lili guessed that there was no one else except Yan Wei who could give her a mobile phone, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"But don't play too late at night. You need to get enough sleep now."

Chen Lili instructed.

"I see."

Nan Qiuyue first turned her phone to silent mode, fearing that the notification sound of incoming messages would attract Chen Lili's attention.

Then he immediately sent a message to Xu Zhiye.

She didn't ask him about going abroad, nor did she ask when he would leave South City;

"Last time you promised to go to South City Old Street with me, when will you keep your promise?"

After the message was sent successfully, Nan Qiuyue waited for Xu Zhiye's reply.

But there was no response from him, and Nan Qiuyue checked her phone every few minutes, afraid that she would miss it.

However, every time she turned on the screen and looked at the empty interface, Nan Qiuyue was disappointed.

In the middle of the night, Chen Lili had already fallen asleep on the nursing bed. Nan Qiuyue quietly picked up the mobile phone beside her, but her expectations were dashed again.

Nan Qiuyue didn't give up and sent another message to Xu Zhi.

"have you slept?"

Until Nan Qiuyue couldn't bear it any longer, she still didn't receive a reply from Xu Zhiye.

What she didn't know was that Xu Zhi had already boarded a plane to go abroad.

-

Until the moment the plane took off, thousands of miles high in the sky, looking at the night view of South City, Xu Zhi finally felt it was real. He was truly free.

A lot has happened in the Xu family recently.

First, Xu Wen accidentally learned during a meeting outside that Xu Zhi was also preparing to study abroad, so he called Xu Zhi back to the old house when he came back.

"You've grown up, and I can't control you anymore, right? You actually hid such a big thing from us."

In the study of the old house, Xu Zhi also stood in front of Xu Wen, receiving his education as he did every time before.

But this time, he won't compromise.

"From the time I returned to the Xu family and became their heir until now, I have never thought about following you or my father and making a difference in politics. You forced that upon me, and I don't want it."

This was the first time that Xu Zhi faced Xu Wen so forcefully. Although Xu Wen looked very angry on the surface, he was secretly satisfied in his heart.

For Xu Wen, the personality of his only son Xu Qingyan is completely different from his own. Xu Qingyan is more gentle and is always kind and friendly whether doing things or interacting with others.

And his grandson Xu Zhiye is exactly the same as himself in temperament and personality.

Therefore, he always projects his expectations onto Xu Zhiye, hoping that Xu Zhiye can also follow his own plan and become the successor of their Xu family step by step.

But Xu Zhiye's stubborn temper just happened to be his own.

"You are my grandson, the hope for the future of our Xu family. You have to do it even if you don't want to. You have no choice."

No matter what Xu Zhiye said, Xu Wen still wanted to make the decision by his own words, just like before.

But this time, he underestimated Xu Zhiye's determination to resist.

"I want to be myself, to be Xu Zhiye. Xu Zhiye is not just Xu Wen's grandson or Xu Qingyan's son; he is an independent person."

"Grandfather, if you don't accept, then you can just pretend you don't have me as your grandson. When I go abroad, I won't rely on the Xu family. I will use my own abilities to make achievements for you to see, and let others know that even if I'm not the heir to the Xu family, I can do it."

After saying that, Xu Zhi turned around and left the study. Xu Wen, who was unable to speak for a while, became so angry that his blood pressure rose and he was admitted to the hospital.

When Xu Qingyan found out about this, Xu Wen was already in the hospital. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured, he was just angry.

Xu Qingyan, Yan Zi, and He Jingjing all persuaded him to let the child do whatever he wanted.

Only then did Xu Wen discover that Xu Qingyan and the others had known about Xu Zhiye's affairs for a long time, but had kept it from him.

Commander Xu, who always kept his word, was completely disappointed. He was unwilling to agree and even started to arrange for Xu Zhi to lose his chance to study abroad.

Now Xu Qingyan was panicked. Ever since he learned about his son's true thoughts, he and his wife kept reflecting on the fact that they had not cared enough about their child over the years.

This time, Xu Zhi has made so much effort, and Xu Qingyan will not let his expectations go unfulfilled no matter what.

So before Xu Wen's men took action, Xu Qingyan arranged a flight in advance so that Xu Zhi could fly directly abroad.

Everything has been arranged, including the school that Xu Zhiye applied to.

Just like that, Xu Zhi left Nancheng late at night without anyone knowing.

But no one, including Xu Qingyan, knew about it, and Xu Zhi had not arrived at the school they knew about.

Instead, he transferred to another country, which was the school he actually applied for and had already received the acceptance letter.
