"Yiyuan, thank you. Ice cream, I wouldn't even treat myself to it."
After taking a bite of the cool ice cream, Su Xiaoliu smiled happily, and her impression of Chi Yiyuan improved considerably.
Chi Yiyuan couldn't help but feel fortunate that Su Ciliang was not present.
If Su Ciliang were still here, an ice cream wouldn't have been enough to appease him.
Chi Yiyuan even felt lucky that he had returned at just the right time.
If Su Ciliang had been home, he wouldn't have had so much time alone with Su Xiaotian.
No matter how reluctant he was, Chi Yiyuan had to leave the capital and return to Germany the next day. Su Dan Novel Network
As he was leaving, seeing the abundance of food prepared by Grandma Su and Liang Xiu, Chi Yiyuan was moved to tears.
He had parents, but they had never been so thoughtful of him.
Instead, it was the Su family, with whom he had no blood relation, that gave him so much care and affection.
"Grandma Su, Third Aunt, thank you," Chi Yiyuan choked out, hugging Grandma Su, tears streaming down his cheeks.
He didn't know what his life would have been like if he had never met the Su family.
But he was very fortunate to have met such a family.
They had allowed him to experience the warmth of life.
"Xiaoyuan, it's alright. If you need anything over there, just write or call us, and we'll send it to you."
Grandma Su gently patted Chi Yiyuan's back.
The summer clothes were thin, and Grandma Su felt the warmth of Chi Yiyuan's tears on her back.
This child carried much sorrow in his heart!
"Okay, Grandma Su, if I need anything, I'll definitely tell you."
Chi Yiyuan released Grandma Su and forced a smile to reassure the elder.
"Xiaoyuan, it's alright. It's only for a year, and it will pass quickly. When you return, you won't have to go abroad again."
Liang Xiu's eyes also welled up with tears.
Chi Yiyuan respectfully bowed to everyone who had shown him kindness before turning to leave.
The moment he turned, tears fell from the corners of his eyes, reflecting a brilliant light in the sunlight.
The other members of the Su family had wanted to see Su Ciliang off, but Su Ciliang had refused.
In the end, Su Xiaotian and Chi Ge saw Su Ciliang off at the airport.
Along the way, Chi Ge said a lot to his grandson.
"Xiaoyuan, if you're not comfortable over there, just call home. This old man can still look after you for a few more years."
Grandpa Chi truly hadn't expected that Chi Niandong and his wife could be so cold-hearted.
"Since they don't treat you as their own child, you don't have to treat them as your parents anymore. Focus on your studies in Germany. If you need money, Grandpa still has some!"
Grandpa Chi did have some money left, but not much. However, he believed it would be enough to support Chi Yiyuan's studies.
"Grandpa, you don't need to worry about me. I have a job now and can support myself."
Chi Yiyuan had no intention of taking Grandpa's money. The old man needed to have money on hand, otherwise, if anything unexpected happened, it would be difficult.
"Brother Yiyuan, you go with peace of mind. We will take good care of Grandpa Chi."
Hearing Su Xiaotian's words, Chi Ge smiled and said, "Yes, I've been doing quite well in your absence."
Apart from missing his grandson, everything else was fine, but these were words he couldn't say to his grandson.
Miss Christina was very reluctant to part with Su Xiaotian and was bound to try and persuade Su Xiaotian to go to Germany again.
This time, the reason was even more compelling.
If Chi Yiyuan was going to Germany, what reason did Su Xiaotian have not to go?
"I won't go. I'll miss you," Su Xiaotian said, hugging Christina. "Consider investing and setting up a business in China. That way, you'll always be able to see me."
When she heard Su Xiaotian's suggestion, Miss Christina was genuinely moved.
Doing business and establishing an enterprise in China was indeed a good choice.
Currently, China was making great efforts to attract foreign investment and offered many convenient conditions for foreign enterprises.
Perhaps she could try discussing it with her brother and then come to China to develop, opening up a new path.
"Thank you, my dear Xiaotian. I think your suggestion is excellent!"
Christina smiled with great joy.
Watching Su Xiaotian's simple words move Miss Christina to consider establishing an enterprise in China, Chi Yiyuan couldn't help but marvel at the girl's boundless charm.
As the plane soared into the sky, Su Xiaotian couldn't help but shed tears.
They had finally met, and it was only for a few short days.
How could she already miss him after he had just left?
Seeing Su Xiaotian cry, Chi Ge's lips curved upwards slightly.
That brat Yiyuan wasn't pining away alone after all.
This child Xiaotian had feelings for that brat.
His grandson's future wife was probably secured.
Su Xiaotian had originally planned to bring Chi Ge home to stay for a few days, but Chi Ge insisted on returning, saying he missed the children at the orphanage.
Su Xiaotian had no choice but to take Chi Ge back to the orphanage.
The children at the orphanage, having been well cared for, were no longer the same as before; they all looked spirited and energetic.
Moreover, under the tutelage of a great scholar like Chi Ge, each of them was well-read and courteous.
Su Xiaotian also found them very endearing.
After playing with the children for a while, Su Xiaotian returned home.
She had arranged with Zhao Hongmei and others to go to the factory the next afternoon and needed to go home in advance to prepare some items.
This time, she planned to stay at the factory for a few more days.
After all, the factory had dormitories, and there was still a vacant room. It would be perfect for her and Zhao Hongmei to share.
During the evening, Su Xiaotian began to diligently sketch out the future blueprint for Yiming Pavilion.
"Xiaotian, you've been busy drawing these past few days. What is this?"
Su Xiaoba became curious and came over to take a look, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't quite understand it.
It looked like architectural drawings, but when had Xiaotian started studying architecture?
Thinking of this possibility, Su Xiaoba felt life was meaningless.
Help, I have a perverted sister, what should I do?
Waiting online, it's quite urgent!
Su Xiaotian pointed to the drawing and said, "Brother Eight, what do you think? Wouldn't it be great if we built Yiming Pavilion according to this drawing?"
Su Xiaoba looked at Su Xiaotian and thought that this little girl must have gone mad.
He didn't quite understand what was drawn on this blueprint, but just looking at the number of floors, how could Yiming Pavilion develop to such a scale?
Wasn't this a joke?
"Xiaotian, did you dream about something? This would cost a lot of money, wouldn't it?"
Su Xiaoba shook his head.
Although Yiming Pavilion was currently on the second floor, the upper floors were basically not open to the public.
This was already quite good. He had never seen a seven or eight-story building that also housed a restaurant.
Let alone anything else, even the time-honored establishments in the capital weren't this magnificent!
