With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

After meeting Lin Biqi that day and seeing her "miscarriage certificate" with her own eyes, Mrs. Li finally relaxed.

Li Wanchang had been so busy with the group's affairs these past few days that he had put the matter out of his mind until he remembered to ask about it before going to bed that night.

"It was aborted?"

Li Wanchang was shocked to learn that Lin Biqi had taken the initiative to abort the child and had no intention of harassing the Li family.

Mrs. Li said with a relaxed expression, "That's right. I knew that Qiqi was a sensible child. Although she was spoiled since she was a child, she can still distinguish between what is important and what is not. You think she is only a freshman in college? Can this child be kept? She must know herself that she cannot be kept."

Li Wanchang frowned slightly. His wife's words made some sense, but he felt that Lin Biqi's reaction was too abnormal. She didn't even make any extra requests.

After a while, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Perhaps he had misunderstood the girl before. After all, she was still young and her mind was not complicated. She never thought that she could rely on the Li family because of her pregnancy.

"Since that's the case, we should at least make it up to her. Buy her something nice later; you know what girls like," Li Wanchang instructed.

"Of course, I certainly won't mistreat Qiqi. Miscarriage is very harmful to the body, so I plan to take her to the old Chinese medicine clinic I frequent to recuperate and prevent any lingering health problems."

No sooner had Mrs. Li finished speaking than the door to the room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

The couple was startled, thankfully both were in their pajamas. After recognizing their son, Li Xiao, Li Wanchang's expression darkened, and he scolded, "Don't you even know how to knock?"

Mrs. Li was also quite frightened. She patted her chest and looked at her son reproachfully, "Xiaozi, why are you so startled? What time is it? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Li Xiao's expression was tense, with a hint of anger and unease flickering in his eyes. His lips trembled as he looked at his father and mother and asked, "What were you two talking about? Who had a miscarriage? Who is pregnant?"

"Lin Biqi is pregnant? She's pregnant, isn't she!"

Seeing his flustered state, Li Wanchang sighed deeply. Mrs. Li then interjected, "Oh, Xiaozi, don't worry. Qiqi had an abortion, and she didn't pester you to take responsibility. She said it was just an accident."

Li Wanchang then spoke up: "Didn't Dad tell you that you don't need to worry about this? Your mother and I will take care of the aftermath."

The matter seemed to have been perfectly resolved, but deep down, Li Xiao still felt a vague unease.

How did her mother find out she was pregnant?

If Lin Biqi were willing to have an abortion, she could have done it secretly without letting anyone know.

Not only did Lin Biqi's mother know she was pregnant, but she also found out immediately that she had an abortion.

Did Lin Biqi bring it up on her own initiative?

what is this else?

A mountain of information and questions piled up in his mind, overloading Li Xiao's already fragile nerves. It was all so chaotic that he couldn't think about things normally and logically at all.

After a long pause, he looked at his mother as if possessed and asked, "Mom, does Shen Ci know?"

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, and her whole body froze instinctively.

Shen Ci knew, of course, that it was Shen Ci who told her about this.

But how should she answer her son?

But it was this hesitation that gave Li Xiao the answer.

He suddenly turned around and slammed the door shut, rushing back to his room. Mrs. Li was so startled that she got up to chase after him, but Li Wanchang stopped her with a hand: "Forget it, his affair with Shen Ci has to come to an end eventually. Let's see what he chooses."

Li Xiao returned to his room, picked up his phone, found Lin Biqi's WeChat account, and sent her a message.

"You told Shen Ci on purpose, didn't you?"

"Are you getting revenge on me?"

"Lin Biqi!"

He quickly sent out a series of questions, but the replies to each message were all system messages!

"The other party has enabled friend verification, but you are not yet their friend. Please send a friend request first. You can chat after the other party accepts your request. Send friend request."

Lin Biqi blocked him!

Li Xiao felt like the sky had fallen. He already felt guilty towards Shen Ci for what happened with Lin Biqi while he was drunk. He felt dirty and even felt inferior and wanted to hide when he ran into Shen Ci.

But now, Shen Ci even knows that Lin Biqi is pregnant.

He had no face to face Shen Ci anymore, and no right or confidence to ask her to get back together.

He doesn't deserve it!

That night, Li Xiao was destined to be sleepless, but he knew that the outcome for him and Shen Ci was already set.

The next morning, he appeared at the breakfast table right on time, which was unprecedented for him.

"Son, did you not sleep all night?"

Seeing her son's dark circles and dejected expression, Mrs. Li stepped forward and asked him with concern.

Li Wanchang held the newspaper, looking at his son with a serious expression without saying a word, but inwardly he was angry at his son's lack of ambition.

What could be so serious that you'd act like you're going to die over something so trivial?

The next second, Li Xiao looked at his father calmly and said, "Dad, send me abroad."

"what?"

Before Li Wanchang could speak, Mrs. Li exclaimed in alarm, vehemently rejecting the idea: "No way! Xiaozi, you're going to kill me! How can you go abroad alone?"

"Why not?" Li Xiao looked at his mother and said calmly without shouting, "Isn't studying abroad a normal thing? My grades aren't bad, so why can't I go?"

"Mom can't bear to part with you. You're my only son. How can I live without you by my side?" Mrs. Li said, her eyes reddening. She turned to plead with Li Wanchang, "Your father doesn't agree either, right?"

Li Wanchang sighed, slowly put down the newspaper, and then spoke: "If Xiaozai is willing, then I support him."

He seemed to understand his son's thoughts.

He wanted to escape Longcheng; even if it was an ostrich mentality, it was the only way he could break free at the moment.

The son himself knew that if he continued to torture himself like this, he would be ruined!

"What are you saying?" Mrs. Li asked incredulously. "You only have one son, and you're going to send him abroad?"

It seemed no one cared about Mrs. Li's thoughts. Li Xiao looked at his father and said to himself, "I've made up my mind, Dad. You arrange it. Any school is fine, and I don't care about the major."

This was exactly what Li Wanchang wanted.

He originally didn't want his son to study astronomy, but since it was his own interest, he didn't object.

If he were to choose a different major after going abroad, "financial management" would definitely be more suitable for his future path and lay the foundation for taking over the group.

"Okay, Dad will take care of this. You can stay home and prepare. You don't need to worry about USTC. Once everything is ready, we'll send you off."

Mrs. Li looked at her son, then at her husband, and felt dizzy and almost fainted.
