After hearing what Hua Di said, JOJO felt like she was on a roller coaster, sometimes happy and sometimes sad. She was really afraid that Hua Di was lying to her.

Liu Yi continued, "Continuing with what I said just now, in your parents' eyes, I am just a gigolo who deceives little girls and will hurt you. Your parents must protect you from me, so they want you to leave me. Xiangjiang is so small, they are afraid that I will continue to pester you, so they will definitely send you away to go abroad."

JOJO said firmly: "I won't leave. I just want to be with you."

Liu Yi gently touched JOJO's head and whispered, "Listen to me. I won't leave you, but can you abandon your parents just to be with me? Don't you want your parents to bless our marriage? Don't you want your parents to be happy to see you get married?"

JOJO didn't know how to answer Huadi for a moment. She was a simple girl, she just liked him, she didn't think too much about it. After all, she was just a 17-year-old girl, the kind of girl who had no experience of society at all. She looked at Huadi a little confused and said, "Then what should we do?"

Liu Yi gently stroked JOJO's cheek, his eyes full of love and pity: "JOJO, we need to prove to your parents that my love for you is sincere, that I will never deceive you, and that I will bring you happiness. But they will definitely not believe it easily based on verbal promises. After all, I'm just an ordinary gangster. How can I bring you happiness? So the first step is that we have to show enough sincerity. After we finish talking, you should immediately call your mother and tell her that you will be home tonight."

JOJO held Liu Yi's hand tightly, her eyes firm and persistent: "No! You are still injured, I can't leave you, I want to stay here to take care of you."

Liu Yi smiled gently and patted JOJO's hand gently: "JOJO, for our future, you must go home. If you insist on staying here, I'm afraid your mother will misunderstand that I deliberately don't let you go back. If that happens, the consequences will be disastrous. She might choose to call the police to solve the problem. Besides, my injuries are not serious. I'm used to this pain. Don't worry, grandpa is here and he can help take care of me. What we have to do now is to find a way to change your mother's opinion of me and let her re-evaluate me as a person."

JOJO pouted, her unhappiness showing on her face. In her mind, even if her mother was angry, she would not do anything to her. But Huadi just said that her mother might call the police. With her mother's temper, she couldn't let the police arrest Huadi. Liu Yi pinched JOJO's mouth with his fingers and said with a smile, "Look, you can even hang a bottle on it."

JOJO is simple but not stupid. She also understood what Huadi meant, but she still asked worriedly: "You are not going to trick me away and then hide so that I can't find you, right? If you really do this, I will never forgive you."

Hua Di looked at the lovely girl in front of him, his heart filled with love and care. He gently stroked JOJO's hair and said softly, "Silly girl, how can I bear to leave you? I just don't want you to get hurt. Believe me, everything will be fine."

JOJO blinked her big eyes, tears welling up in them. She hugged Huadi tightly, fearing that he would suddenly disappear. Huadi sensed JOJO's worry and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, I will always be by your side, protecting you. As long as you need me, I will be there at any time."

JOJO raised her head, looked into Huadi's eyes, and said seriously: "I believe you, Huadi. But you promised me that no matter what happens, we will face it together. Don't bear all the pressure alone, okay?"

Hua Di nodded and promised, "Okay, I promise you. We'll face this together and get through it together. Now, go call your mother and tell her you're just visiting Haojiang and will be home later. Ask her to pick you up at the pier. She must pick you up."

Although Jojo didn't understand why her mother had to pick her up at the pier, she still did as Huadi asked. She called her mother and said nervously, "Mom... I'm playing in Haojiang and will be back soon! Please come to the pier to pick me up!"

The mother on the other end of the phone was stunned at first, and then immediately burst into a roar: "You damn girl, where have you been? Do you know how worried I am about you!"

JOJO was startled by her mother's roar and quickly explained: "I'm sorry, Mom, I just came out to relax. I'll be back soon, please come to the dock to pick me up."

Although the mother was still a little angry, she felt a little better when she heard that her daughter was going home soon. She told JOJO to be careful and said that she would rush to the dock as soon as possible.

After hanging up the phone, JOJO said to Huadi: "Mom promised to pick me up."

Huadi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good. When you see Mom later, apologize to her sincerely and don't let her worry anymore."

JOJO nodded, her eyes full of trust and reliance on Huadi. The two hugged each other, enjoying this brief but beautiful moment.

After dinner, Liu Yi sent JOJO to the pier to take a boat back to Hong Kong.

After sending JOJO back to his grandfather, Liu Yi was still thinking about what to do next and how to acquire the knowledge and skills of this world faster. Grandpa came upstairs and called him that JOJO called, so he went downstairs and chatted with JOJO on the phone for a long time.
