Chapter 8:
In a powerful roar, she seemed to have the determination to challenge the whole world for her love, the more others hinder it.
This statement instantly froze the atmosphere."
Mom and Dad are almost becoming someone else, still upholding men, obviously haven't experienced the hardships of life.
Looking at the unpleasant face of Li father and Li mother, Li Yuan seems to realize that she has said too much and quickly finds a way out for herself.
Her tone is pitiful: "Dad, Mom, you probably won't believe me when I say this.
Why do you have to compare and compete? Filial piety and love are not mutually exclusive." After speaking, she managed to force out a few tears.
Seeing this, Li father's anger dissipated a lot, and his expression eased.
However, his tone of speech remained serious: "Apologize to Xiao Yu, you made a fool of yourself as soon as you came back." Li Yuan finally looked at me directly, and when she noticed the resemblance between me and Li mother's eyes, she froze.
She stared at me blankly with wide eyes, lips slightly open, looking at me, then at Li father and Li mother.
After a while, she seemed to wake up from a dream, stiffly tugged at the corners of her mouth, and cried and laughed: "So...
you're using Jin Ci's name to drive me out of the house, right? Because I'm not your biological daughter?" "You don't want me anymore?" I watched her self-deprecating and frustrated expression, silently mocking, wasn't it just now that you didn't want your parents? Unfortunately, Li father and Li mother bought into this act completely and softened their attitudes immediately upon seeing Li Yuan's hurt expression: "Dad and Mom don't not want you, and we would never not want you, it's just different from Jin Ci.
We want you to think carefully about this decision to start a business, whether it's something you want to do yourself or because of Jin Ci." "We don't want you to lose yourself in an intimate relationship." "By suggesting to sponsor your and Jin Ci's further education abroad, it's not what you said, humiliating him with money, but as parents, we want to give you both another option..." Under the "tandem output" of Li father and Li mother, Li Yuan gradually calmed down.
She glanced at me with an inexplicable meaning, then lowered her eyes and said in a calm and numb voice, "Understood, I will reconsider my future plans." To be honest, her tone was filled with a sense of rebellion and compromise after failing to resist authority.
Sometimes, Li Yuan would complain on her social media accounts - her mother's controlling nature and her father being a shrewd businessman.
For example, when she was interested in the piano as a child, Li mother immediately bought a Steinway and hired a professional teacher for her.
But she quickly lost interest in the piano, so Li mother had to set a rule for her to practice at a fixed time every week.
In her eyes, this was Li mother's bondage, the embodiment of Li mother's controlling nature.
But in my opinion, it's just a mother cultivating her child's focus and patience.
Although I myself grew up like a weed, I have personally witnessed too many parents who cannot provide anything for their children but still hope for them to become successful, suffocating with their crazy controlling nature.
Like my classmates, friends, and even my two cousins.
Li Yuan's social media accounts are filled with many such complaints.
They are self-pitying and overly dramatic.
She completely fails to realize that it is Li mother's efforts that allowed her to enter the best art and design school in the country to study what she loves.
Curators and artists from all over the world, as long as she wants to meet them, Li mother is there to introduce her.
The Li family financed her exhibition and spared no expense at the auction...
She took all the credit for it, using her words and sentences to subtly show off her talent and taste.
Her desired freedom is actually very simple - economic independence and moving out of the Li family.
She enjoys the abundant life created by her businessman father but despises the smell of money.
Under her mother's guidance, she became an outstanding artist but still feels restricted.
The fact that the Li family is willing to let her study art instead of learning how to manage the family's business shows that they value Li Yuan's freedom and happiness more than profits.
One should not, at the very least, be so ungrateful.
I used to envy those classmates who could afford tutors at home.
They were on a faster track while I had to spend double the time figuring things out on my own.
Mr.
Li and Mrs.
Li listened to her words and showed expressions of relief.
It is not difficult to see that despite all the chaos caused by Li Yuan due to her relationships with men, she still holds an irreplaceable position in the hearts of Mr.
Li and Mrs.
Li.
Yes, how can you cut off twenty years of family bond just like that? Since that's the case, I can only add fuel to the fire of Jin Ci's and Li Yuan's extraordinary love.
