Chapter 7:
I'm actually a very introverted person.
But during the time I spent with Mr.
and Mrs.
Li, I tried my best to pretend to be someone who pleases adults.
Obedient, sensible, appropriately lively.
I even accidentally made them feel sorry for my difficult upbringing.
Thanks to my efforts, our parent-child relationship has made tremendous progress.
It's been almost a month since summer vacation started, but there's still no sign of Li Yuan.
She still doesn't know her situation.
I accidentally overheard a conversation between Mr.
and Mrs.
Li.
'Why don't we suspend Yan's card? What's the point of her not coming home?' It was Li's mother's voice.
'Is she really on a trip with her friends? It's obvious she went to find Jin Ci!' Li's mother's tone rose, 'Her card must be stopped today.
We can't let her continue like this.' This method indeed worked, and I quickly saw Li Yuan again.
She is still unaware of my situation.
'Who is she?' This was the first thing Li Yuan said when she returned home.
'Why was my card stopped?' This was her second sentence.
Li's father kindly sat her down on the sofa and tried to explain the situation to her as gently as possible, even sounding a bit humble.
Li's mother hesitated on the side, fearing she might say something that would hurt Li Yuan.
After a while, Li Yuan looked at me in disbelief, 'You have gone to such great lengths to prevent me from being with Jin Ci!' 'I insist on being with Jin Ci.
Are you going to break ties with me as your daughter?' It seems that she believed everything Li's father said was fabricated to obstruct her and Jin Ci's relationship.
Li's mother frowned and scolded, 'Li Yuan, we wouldn't joke about something like this.' 'Mom and Dad have never tried to stop you from being with Jin Ci.
We just think that your education is more important right now.' 'Especially considering Jin Ci's temperament, he still needs to mature.
If you two disagree during starting a business, what will you do?' Li's father suppressed his anger and said with a stern face, 'Your mother is right.
Don't you think our sincere advice as your parents is more important than a few words from Jin Ci?' 'He said he wants to start from scratch, and you gave up your own future to be with him.
You really...' Upon hearing Li's father implicitly blaming Jin Ci, anger surged within Li Yuan.
Her delayed rebellious phase made her speak without thinking, 'You can't compare to him!'
