The old lady was discharged from the hospital, and it seemed to be a false alarm. In his early years, the old man fought in the battlefield, and the old lady was originally a beautiful girl in the boudoir. Later, she followed him everywhere and suffered a lot. After getting older, the old man was still vigorous, but the old lady stayed at her old house all day and rarely went out.
The thing I fear most is falling ill suddenly, but the old lady happened to do that.
Luo Linyi was the daughter-in-law who stayed at home most of the time. She was scared out of her wits by the old lady. Only after she brought the old lady back to the old house did she have the heart to think about other things.
It was strange that the first thing that made her happy was that Xu Shiqi could speak now. She thought that he would no longer live with her daughter.
The next day she asked her daughter about this, but to her surprise her daughter was still possessed.
"She has just recovered. I think we need to observe her for a while. Besides, if she can talk again, she can find a job. If she has nowhere to live, she can be my companion."
Luo Linyi was very confused: "Daughter, we have done well enough, and we don't owe her anything. By the way, when she had the car accident, your father went to see her in person. I think he must have given her a lot of benefits. Besides..."
"What?" Wen Jialuo, who was originally sitting, suddenly stood up.
Luo Linyi was frightened by her. Seeing her daughter's face turned pale in an instant, she couldn't help but look at her husband who was sitting next to her reading a newspaper.
Wenzhou rarely had time to go home, and this time she was dragged by the old lady to stay for a day. It was even more rare for the three of them to be together. She originally wanted to take advantage of her husband's home to remove the thorn in her heart, but she didn't expect that as soon as she opened her mouth, the thorn would be like stabbing her own daughter.
Wen Jialuo opened his eyes wide and turned slowly, like a soulless machine. One could almost hear the stiff voice.
Wenzhou put down the newspaper, looked up and looked at his daughter.
The father and daughter said nothing, but it was enough. Their tacit understanding was more effective than words at this moment, and their eyes were like wedges that pierced into each other's hearts.
"How could it be?" Wen Jialuo gradually became confused. Her mouth felt as if she had swallowed ten kilograms of coptis in one gulp. It was so bitter that even opening her mouth became a painful thing. She felt that the wedge in her father's eyes was being hit hard in her heart by a huge hammer, squeezing and grinding, and almost breaking her heart.
Luo Linyi looked at her husband and daughter in panic as they suddenly became enemies. When she saw her daughter walking towards her husband step by step, she couldn't help but intervene between them.
"What's going on between you and your daughter?"
"I didn't know you had gone to see her too." Wen Jialuo's voice was hollow, her focus on her mother's face, but in fact it went through the past and pointed directly at the figure on the sofa who was always tall in her mind.
Wenzhou was silent, while Luo Linyi grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Jia Luo, what are you talking about?"
"My dad knows what I'm talking about best..." Wen Jialuo was immediately excited, and her fingers couldn't help but twitch. She thought her face must be unbearable to look at now, and it must be terribly distorted.
But no matter how terrible it was, it was not as terrible as what her father did.
Wen Zhou also stood up. Being in a high position, he naturally had a kind of deterrent power over time. He still said nothing, and you couldn't tell whether he didn't want to say it or was thinking about something. But as long as he looked at you, it was enough to suppress you and make you unable to move. Wen Jialuo had never felt this kind of majesty from her father, but today she finally had a personal experience, and she could even immediately guess the pressure in Xu Shiqi's heart when she saw this face opposite her.
No wonder that woman was so nervous when she saw Dad when he went to see her that day.
"Kara..."
A timely voice eased the explosive situation in the air and brought the critical point of explosion back.
"Grandma!" Wen Jialuo shouted without turning her head.
The old lady who heard the noise came out and stood on the second floor, and said quietly to her youngest son: "You, come up for a moment."
Luo Linyi watched her husband go upstairs, and when she saw her daughter following behind him, she suddenly got goose bumps in her heart, and had the worst premonition she had ever had. Although she didn't know what it was, she could feel that it was related to her daughter, or even to that Xu Shiqi. Seeing that several people from the Wen family went upstairs, but she was ignored like an outsider, Luo Linyi stomped her feet hard and followed them.
The old lady lit calming incense in the room, but it couldn't relieve Wen Jialuo's irritability. She wanted to pull out her pounding heart, even if it would be fine if she could just stop moving.
Seeing her granddaughter who was truly shocked this time, the old lady sighed. Compared to herself, she probably never thought that her father was the black hand behind the scenes - then, was it really Wenzhou who told the girl not to speak
"Dad, what are you going to say to her?" Wen Jialuo couldn't wait any longer, but she would rather have tinnitus and blindness.
What? Wenzhou sat in front of his mother, with his wife standing beside him. Being held hostage by his daughter, he frowned slightly.
Indeed, in fact, he knows everything.
This person knew much more than anyone else in the Wen family, even more than his daughter herself.
He was the only one present when his daughter was hypnotized by Dr. Cha.
He heard something very scary, and for a moment he was stunned and unable to react. As an official and a politician, he had experienced many situations, but he had never lost his composure like this.
Her daughter said she doesn't like men, only women.
Thinking back now, the expression on Dr. Cha's face at that time was still very interesting. He naturally wanted to chop off his ears, especially under his cold gaze. However, he was also a very smart person. He quickly stated that this was not a disease, nor was it a shameful thing - he was not trying to comfort him, nor was he trying to fool him. Dr. Cha acted like his psychologist, explaining the relevant terms and showing him actual cases. In short, he quickly understood that this was not a disease, and treatment was a deformed method. If he wanted to watch his daughter who was hurting herself completely wither and die.
No more stimulating her, this was the temporary plan decided by him and Dr. Cha, so at that time, it could be said that they were the only two people in the world who knew about his daughter's sexual orientation. Even in his daughter's psychotherapy manual, this was not allowed to be recorded.
Later, Wenzhou watched his daughter make up the lie, but he could tell the truth from the lies. It was fine if his daughter didn't want to get married. She could live whatever life she wanted. He would be her solid supporter. However, Wenzhou also thought that if his daughter really liked someone, he would help her. She was his daughter, and whatever temper she had, he was destined to bear.
But plans really can't keep up with changes. When he knew that his daughter took a woman to the hot spring villa, he was concerned. But just when he secretly investigated and found out the ins and outs of their relationship, the old lady had an accident on the plane, and then his daughter also had a car accident.
The woman was sitting in his daughter's car, but that was not important. What was important was that he had gone to the scene and the brake tracks left by the car before the crash told him that his daughter valued this person more than her own life.
This was what really horrified him, and for this reason, he had to go meet the woman named Xu Shiqi.
She was a very gentle woman. Even though her throat was injured and she couldn't speak, the tenderness in her eyes still told him that she must be a good person. But this person would make his daughters confused, even crazy enough to disregard their lives, so he had to do something, so that he could tell himself that supporting them was right. Life is a long journey, and only a rock-solid rock will not be shaken and overturned in the wind and rain.
So he told the woman, your voice is my daughter's favorite. If you lose your voice, will she still love you? If you can't make any sound within a year, will she still love you? Can you still live together? If within a year, no matter what happens between you, no matter whether your affair is known to everyone, you are still so determined, I will overcome all difficulties to let you be together.
It was very direct, without any evasion. No problem should be considered difficult. When he said the last sentence, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, which made him understand that she would definitely accept this agreement.
Later on, he did nothing, and there was no need for him to do anything. The final obstacle would never come from his beloved family. They had to face more problems with each other.
For several months, the woman had been doing well, and he even thought she could hold on to the end. But he didn't expect that she would speak up when faced with the old lady's request in the ward.
To be honest, at that moment, he was very surprised and even felt a little lost.
Because this woman's character was even better than he had imagined, it was even difficult for him to firmly make things difficult for her, even though she had broken her promise.
Sure enough, there is no wall that is impenetrable. It seems that the daughter has long suspected that someone has said something to the woman, and even the old lady already knows about their affair.
It seems that I really can't keep my daughter.
The events of the past few months flashed through Wenzhou's mind. He relaxed his frown and spoke slowly, "Yes, I told her not to speak."
As soon as the words were spoken, the whole room was shocked.
Wen Jialuo stared at him, thinking that he was just a stranger in her father's skin: "You... How could you..."
"Why not?" Wenzhou asked softly, "She made you lose control and even hurt yourself to protect yourself. Can't I express my concern as a father? Besides, wasn't the car accident caused by the conflict between you two?"
Wen Jialuo was speechless. Being stared at by his father with such an all-knowing gaze, he was almost unable to utter a word.
Wenzhou gradually retracted his horrifying gaze and turned to the old lady: "Mom, since you also know about this, what are your plans?"
The old lady was stunned: "I still don't understand, what did you say to that girl?"
"She can't speak for a year. If she can do that and still be with Jialuo, I will help them." Wenzhou said calmly, his expression almost the same as when he had attracted a multi-billion investment project to settle in the province.
Although her father looked a little expressionless, but, what? One year? Wen Jialuo felt the fire in her heart rising: "Dad, that would actually be more uncomfortable than killing me. How could you be so cruel?"
"Okay," the old lady waved her hand to interrupt her granddaughter's temper. What she needed most now was to calm down. "The child spoke because I asked for help. Does that mean she didn't do it? If she didn't do it, what are your plans?"
Wenzhou was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Xu Shiqi immediately accepted his agreement without even giving him a chance to talk about the breach of contract clause. Now that he thought about it, this must be the worst contract he had ever drafted.
"This is what I think. That child has a conscience. Even if you have one more daughter, I have one more granddaughter." The old lady said calmly, "I accept their relationship."
Isn't this too easy? Wenzhou frowned again.
"Dad, you don't have to agree." Wen Jialuo suddenly said softly, "I won't be affected." She raised the corner of her lips, "Being a walking corpse shouldn't be a big deal. A lifetime is not long. Anyway, I've thought about it a long time ago. I can live alone."
Wenzhou sighed: "Aren't you threatening Dad?"
"Dad..." Wen Jialuo felt very uncomfortable. Everything she had tried to avoid had happened, and she had completely stood on the side of love. She knelt gently in front of her father, "I know you love me and you are doing this for my own good. I understand. But we are truly in love. I don't want anything. I am happy just to be with her. Really. So please trust us a little bit, trust your daughter a little bit."
"They will definitely encounter various problems in the future, so why bother setting them up so carefully? Traps are for those who are unprepared. Those who are prepared and want to live a good life will work hard to dismantle all obstacles themselves. What's most important is to go smoothly, isn't it?"
The old lady finished speaking slowly and closed her eyes as if she was too tired.
"Wait for me, all of you!"
Suddenly, there was a sound like thunder in a dream.
The old lady's heart skipped a beat and she opened her eyes to look at her daughter-in-law who looked puzzled.
"What are you talking about?" Luo Linyi scanned the faces of the others with doubts, and finally pulled her daughter up and asked sternly, "Jia Luo, who are you truly in love with, huh?"
"Mom." Wen Jialuo bit her lower lip. It was over. They actually worked together to forget her mother.
"Lin Yi," Wen Zhou stood up, "Can you calm down first?"
"No, no!" Luo Linyi pointed at his nose - this was the first time since they got married, "Don't think I really don't know what you are talking about. Jialuo is my daughter, she is my flesh and blood. Why didn't any of you ask for my opinion? No one in this world has the right to control who she is with, only I have the right." Luo Linyi turned her head to her daughter with a grim look, "Jialuo, tell Xu Shiqi to move out immediately and cut off contact with her immediately!"
Luo Linyi was the daughter-in-law that the old lady had carefully found. She was born in a well-educated family, but today, she was obviously very excited and ready to do anything. She had only one thought in her mind: why can other people's daughters wear wedding dresses, go to the church, have children and enjoy family happiness, while her daughter has to hide in the dark world, never see the sun, never have anyone to take care of her, and only regard happiness as a luxury! Why!!!
