After getting through on the phone, Xia Chuyi asked Huo Shiqian, "Brother Shiqian, you said before that the Bao Family had many branches abroad before the liberation, do you know where they went?"
"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Huo Shiqian, who knows Xia Chuyi very well, asked, "Did you meet them?"
It must be said, Uncle Liberation Army is quite perceptive.
Xia Chuyi said, "Not exactly a meeting, just a suspicion."
"There are plenty of people with the surname âBaoâ in the world, it might not necessarily be them." Xia Chuyi said to Huo Shiqian on the other end, "I just wanted to ask you, Brother Shiqian, if youâre sure they are indeed the Bao Family, would you acknowledge them?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqian responded calmly, "Weâll see."
"They didnât escape after the liberation." Huo Shiqian said, "They left China during the chaos to avoid disaster."
Listening to Huo Shiqian, Xia Chuyi understood that he was comparing these people to the parents of the two fake foreigners who had previously caused trouble for Uncle Bao.
Both fled abroad, but the timing was different, leading to different consequences.
Moreover, if these Bao Family members were similar in nature to the fake foreigners, it might not be necessary to acknowledge them.
Xia Chuyi said, "Okay, I understand."
After finishing this topic, Huo Shiqian suddenly asked, "Chuyi, how are your credits going?"
"Donât spend your thoughts on trivial matters."
It was clear from Huo Shiqianâs words that he was "complaining," "complaining" that Xia Chuyi wasnât focused on studying and was distracted.
Once distracted, thereâs a possibility she wonât be able to return home early.
Not being able to return early meant the two couldnât reunite sooner.
In short, Huo Shiqian was subtly reminding Xia Chuyi that someone is waiting for her back home, so she should study hard.
Xia Chuyiâs eyes curved into a smile, "Alright, I got it!"
After some reminders, the two reluctantly hung up.
On the weekend, Emily came to find Xia Chuyi.
By chance, she was spotted by Huang Feifei.
"Some people, really forget their roots." Huang Feifei said sarcastically from the side, "And even degenerate, helping Americans with their business!"
"Such people are simply traitors, traitors to the country!"
Since embarrassing Huang Feifei the last time, this was the first time Huang Feifei deliberately caused trouble for Xia Chuyi.
Chen Chen stood by, looking a bit awkward.
Since he introduced Emily to Xia Chuyi, he naturally had to go along to the Bao Family with them.
The sarcastic words from Huang Feifei were clearly something Chen Chen let slip.
Fortunately, Xia Chuyi remained quite calm.
She really couldnât be bothered with Huang Feifei.
After all, Huang Feifeiâs passive-aggressive behavior wasnât new.
Of course, Xia Chuyi still glanced at the main culprit.
Chen Chen immediately put on a "Iâm sorry" expression.
Emily, who didnât understand Chinese, also didnât catch the expressions between Xia Chuyi and Chen Chen, but just looked curiously at Huang Feifei, then at Xia Chuyi, and finally at Chen Chen.
Chinese people really are quite complicated!
Emily couldnât help but think to herself.
Soon, Xia Chuyi didnât dwell on the matter with Huang Feifei anymore and just gave Emily a slight smile, saying, "Itâs nothing, letâs go."
She now needed to find out if that family really was a branch of the Bao Family, so she had no time or energy to deal with Huang Feifei.
