Chapter 149: Chapter 149 This idea is good_1
Hearing this, Xia Jiehao felt troubled too.
His factory and house were located in Capital City, and if she and the kids didn’t move there, he’d miss them terribly.
At this moment, Xia Ningxing spoke up. She wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth and said unhurriedly, "I think we should do this, Dad. Let’s not move to Capital City right now. Mom still has over a million in hand. You could help us find someone to build a factory on the suburban land we bought last time we went to Capital City. Once the factory is up, we can move."
"It’s just a matter of a year and a half; it will pass quickly."
The most important thing was that when the time came, their house in the hometown would be demolished. Then she would coax their big bro and his family to settle down in Capital City with them and be neighbors again.
"That’s a great idea!" Xia Jiehao agreed.
"It just means you’ll have to travel back and forth a lot, Dad." Xia Ningxing put some meat in his bowl, feeling slightly embarrassed. Constructing a factory was no small matter; it required someone to regularly supervise the site.
"You kids, what’s all this talk about hassle?" Before Xia Jiehao could respond, Xia Shufang couldn’t help but interject: "If anything comes up in the future, just boss my brother around all you want. Don’t go easy on him just because of me!"
Xia Ningxing: "..."
Are you sure you have that kind of influence?
"Oh, I also have something to tell everyone," Xia Shufang said, raising her head to speak again.
"What is it?"
Everyone looked at her, puzzled.
Xia Ningxing alone was calm, as if she already knew what Shufang was about to say.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Shufang announced, "I—I’m going to UA to study abroad, learn painting, and become a painter!"
"What?!" Hearing this, everyone at the table except for Ningxing was shocked.
"You child, why would you leave your homeland to go abroad!" Old Mrs. Xia slammed her hand on the table, the first to disagree, her wrinkled face showing a hint of anger.
A young girl going so far away, was she trying to worry them to death?
"Shufang, don’t be reckless. Do you realize how far UA is from here? There’s this huge something-something ocean between us, and we’d hardly ever see each other!" Old Mr. Xia disagreed, too, thinking that going abroad was a foolish act.
If his delicate daughter went there, wouldn’t she just get eaten alive?
"Sis, if you want to study, can’t you do it here in our country?" Xia Jiehao was also somewhat against the idea. If she had been a boy wanting to study abroad, he would have no objections at all, even fully supporting her, but as a young girl, if she faced any harm or bullying, they wouldn’t be able to rush to her side to protect her.
"How about this, I know someone at Capital University. Shall I arrange for you to attend graduate school there?" Xia Jiehao added.
"Father, Mother, and brother, I just want to change the scenery, to gain some new experiences," said Xia Shufang with determination on her face.
"No, that’s out of the question!" The parents of the Xia family frowned, losing their appetite for the meal, unwavering in their refusal.
"Father... Mother..." Xia Shufang bit her lip, her face reddening with urgency.
Xia Ningxing pondered for a moment, then, batting her eyes at her grandparents, decided to speak up for Shufang’s future, "Grandpa, Grandma, I actually think my little aunt has great ambition. People with overseas experience are in high demand, and abroad is not that scary. These days, many are going there to ’gild’ themselves."
Shufang had met a very talented painter abroad and was taken on as a disciple to receive personal guidance, leading to rapid progress in her art skills.
If she missed this chance, it would be such a pity; maybe she wouldn’t become an amazing painter in the future!
