Zhuang Liu had a long talk with the elder in the study while Shen Jing anxiously waited outside, occasionally checking in. Why had everyone else come out, but her son was still inside? Surely the elder hadn't scolded him?
Another fifteen minutes passed before Zhuang Liu finally came out of the study. Shen Jing hurried over to see if her son was alright and then asked what the elder wanted with him for so long.
Zhuang Liu reassured her, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. And there's good news, we can leave the Capital together."
Shen Jing didn't understand his meaning, and seeing her confused, Zhuang Liu clarified, "You, me, and dad, we can all leave the Capital together."
"Really?" Shen Jing was so surprised she could hardly believe it, "Did the elder agree?"
Zhuang Liu nodded, "Grandpa has already agreed. We'll pack up and arrange for dad's transfer as soon as possible."
A relieved smile appeared on Shen Jing's face, "Good, I'll take care of it right away."
