The two mothers, who were almost mad at their daughters, finally realized that their topic had strayed too far, and they shut up at the same time.
Sipping tea gracefully, Luo Linyi looked at the girl opposite from under her eyelids. The more she looked, the more she couldn't understand why she was worth loving, or even considering her as a lifelong partner. Since there was a difference between men and women in this world, there should be harmony between yin and yang. How could such an unethical thing appear
Wang Yuan stared at Wen Jialuo, but she was desperately trying to kick her husband over her daughter. What on earth was he doing here, to enjoy the flowers and lanterns
The old lady wisely closed her eyes and did not move her chopsticks. She just rested slowly. For a moment, the box was extremely quiet.
The silence was broken by the ringing of a cell phone, Luo Linyi's.
Seeing that it was her husband on the phone, Luo Linyi couldn't help but stiffen her back. She had informed her husband about this meeting, and she didn't know what he wanted to say.
"Let Jia Luo listen."
Luo Linyi had no choice but to hand the phone to her daughter.
"Dad?" Wen Jialuo called out, and sensitively noticed that the woman opposite her trembled the tip of her chopsticks slightly.
"Jia Luo, I helped you get your job back."
Wen Jialuo was stunned.
"You have to live in the old house. This is my request."
Wen Jialuo's breathing became a little rapid. She looked across the round table and saw the piece of paper that the other party had just taken out. She was simply a little bit unbelievable.
"Okay, hang up." Wen Zhou, who was busy with official duties, hung up the phone concisely, without caring how much turmoil his words would cause.
After handing the phone back to her mother, her mother asked hastily, "What did your father say?" Wen Jialuo tried hard to control the curve of her lips and her heart that was about to soar: "My father said," she pinched her palms to make her voice smoother, very calm and indifferent, "He transferred my job back."
There were question marks in everyone's eyes. Xu Shiqi frowned and couldn't understand.
"Giving Shi Qi a job is not to make her leave me." Wen Jialuo finally couldn't help but grinned, almost like a silly smile, revealing his cute fangs, "but rather that we don't have to cross the city and can be together."
"Impossible!" Luo Linyi stood up and slammed the table and shouted.
Xu Shiqi couldn't believe it. How could the man with cold eyes, who thought he was a disaster and would cause great danger to Jialuo, be so kind
"Congratulations, girl." The old lady finally opened her eyes and spoke kindly, "Although you did not meet the one-year agreement, you have convinced Jia Luo's father to overcome all difficulties for you."
What did I do? Xu Shiqi was still full of doubts, but she didn't dare to smile like Wen Jialuo. She was still in a low mood, as if she was in a cold cellar.
"Why?" Wang Yuan's voice was full of confusion. They were the ones who didn't understand the most. That man was a big boss, how could he allow his daughter to do such a shameful thing? Although she didn't blame her daughter, there was no doubt that their behavior was seen as such in the eyes of the world. Wasn't he afraid of bringing shame to the family, being pointed at, and that such a deformed relationship would end up being nothing more than a joke
"Because he loves his daughter." The old lady gave her the answer in a sonorous voice. "Not from his perspective, but from the perspective of the daughter he loves."
The old lady's words were so powerful that the parents who were only her juniors fell silent. Luo Linyi was confused. Wasn't it because of love that she had to do her best to help her daughter get out of the wrong path? Indulgence because of love didn't sound like a good thing. But her husband's behavior was so influential that it was more powerful than silence. It instantly disrupted her thoughts and made her unable to sort out.
As for Wang Yuan and Xu Zhongda, they were more conflicted. Unexpectedly, the father who did not come out to participate today not only did not object, but even incredibly supported it. Seeing his daughter looking around anxiously despite being pleasantly surprised, and the girl opposite who was almost in high spirits, he could not help but start to reflect.
What kind of love do they use to love their children
Thinking that she was actually afraid of the eyes of the people around her, Wang Yuan felt a little guilty. Although her daughter was wrong, she was too selfish to only care about her own face. She secretly glanced at her husband. It was obvious that the father was more stimulated by the other father, and there was almost a sign of wavering on his face.
"Well, Jia Luo's father has already expressed his opinion. As the head of the Wen family, I will also express my opinion." The old lady raised her hand and said gracefully, "Since my granddaughter only likes women, then I only like Xu girl. I will not object to them being together."
"Mom..." Luo Linyi almost begged. To express her opinion? To express what opinion? Wasn't she here to separate the two of them today? How could it turn out like this
"I'm sorry," Wang Yuan said politely, "Madam, we can't express this attitude today because I'm not sure it's right for them to be together."
The old lady nodded meaningfully: "I can understand, but what is certain is that it would be wrong if you don't let them be together."
Afraid of being tricked by the old lady, Wang Yuan, who had originally been talking about work today, stood up when she saw that it had become a happy event for the two of them and said, "Then we'll go back first."
"Aren't you going to leave without eating?" The old lady pointed to the table full of dishes.
"Actually, there's no need to be so polite. We're not discussing marrying off our daughter." Wang Yuan pulled her daughter and started walking.
"If you don't want to marry, it's also okay to get married." The old lady hurriedly followed and saw Wang Yuan staggering and her hand holding the door handle was shaking.
Wen Jialuo was busy making eye contact with Xu Shiqi before she was dragged out. After they left, it took her a long time to come back to her senses. She gritted her teeth and turned back: "Grandma, you are so mean."
Luo Linyi was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"Mom, I know you love me. You should be on the same page with Dad and marry me off." Wen Jialuo hugged her mother coquettishly and said softly.
"Marry her family?" Luo Linyi's eyes almost popped out. Thinking of how disgusting she must look, she calmed down and snorted coldly, "If anyone wants to marry, it should be her daughter."
Ah, Wen Jialuo's eyes lit up, but she didn't dare to provoke her mother anymore, so she could only turn around and make a face at the old lady.
The old lady sighed when she saw that she had been on stimulants since she got her father's support. Knowing that the road to Shu is difficult, they still go to the difficult places. In fact, they have to endure all kinds of life.
The three of them did not see him out the door because they knew that there must be a lot of people standing outside the door.
Sure enough, when Xu Shiqi and the others went out, they saw a row of people standing at the door, and the first one was Wen Baohua, who was pregnant. She had overcome the obstacles in her heart and grabbed Wang Yuan's hand. With this belly, Aunt Wang couldn't push her away.
"Auntie," Wen Baohua called affectionately, "This is my father, my mother, my second uncle, my second aunt, and this is my second uncle and my second aunt's son Wen Yu. Oh, and this is my husband Xia Bang, and Du Mengmeng..."
Everyone smiled warmly at Wang Yuan and the others, and even extended their hands to shake their hands. For a moment, Wang Yuan and Xu Zhongda almost thought they were foreign guests, being warmly welcomed by everyone.
All that’s missing is flowers and thunderous applause.
Xu Shiqi pursed her lips and followed them step by step. Feeling the hot gazes of the Wen family, her scalp almost numbed. When she walked in front of Wen Baohua, she wanted to drag her aside to ask her what was going on, but she lost her temper when she winked mischievously.
Forget it, this is just a chaotic day. It is so unreal and funny that I have never experienced before.
Suddenly I felt that the road that I had thought so difficult before seemed to be easier to walk on now.
The Wen family members, who were talking at once and no one knew what they were saying, escorted the dizzy Xu family out of the restaurant. Then, at Wen Yu's insistence and Wang Yuan's even more determined refusal, they watched them get into a taxi. Only then did the Wen family members turn around and go back to the private room.
The Xu family left, but they still had to eat. Wen Jialuo had gained so much today that she was already satisfied, so she carefully accompanied her mother to eat. Finally, when everyone was leaving, the old lady called Du Mengmeng.
"Mengmeng, sit with grandma for a while."
Du Mengmeng's eyes lit up. She certainly knew who was the boss in this family.
Wen Yu was a little uneasy, so he squeezed up and said with a smile: "Grandma, how about I accompany you? Meng Meng may have something else to do."
The old lady looked at Meng Meng, who was a little aggrieved but didn't dare to speak out and wanted to show weakness, and said to her grandson rudely: "I asked her to accompany me, why are you feeling guilty?"
Wen Yu was stunned and looked around, his expression showing a sense of guilt. Then when he wanted to say something, he found that he had been dragged out of the box.
Although she often accompanied the old lady, Du Mengmeng had never been so nervous. She couldn't help wondering if her clothes today were appropriate, if her light makeup was disrespectful, and if her lip gloss was eaten up and looked ugly...
"Mengmeng, you like my Wenyu, right?" the old lady said naturally.
Du Mengmeng was startled, and quickly sat up straight, with his hands gently placed on his knees: "Grandma, I have liked him for a long time, no, I love him."
The old lady was silent for a moment, as if she was still brewing her words, but in the end she chose the most direct way: "You can see that if Jialuo and that girl want to be together, they still have a lot to go through. Even if no one opposes them anymore, the happiness they had when they were young may lead to a lot of embarrassment when they grow old. If you really like Wen Yu, then I, your grandma, have to say this in advance." The old lady paused and looked at Du Mengmeng, "No matter who marries Wen Yu in the future, our Wen family's first great-grandson, whether it is a boy or a girl, must adopt this baby to Jialuo. But she doesn't have to leave her parents, just let this child see Jialuo and Shiqi off when they are old."
"This is the concept of our older generation, maybe a little old-fashioned," the old lady said with a smile, "I hope you can understand."
Du Mengmeng felt that the eyeliner she had put on today was in vain, and her vision was blurry. She couldn't help herself and reached out to hug the lovely old lady: "Grandma, Jialuo and the others are so lucky to have such an open-minded grandma like you."
This should be considered an answer. The old lady patted her on the back and said, "Good girl, you have to fight for your own happiness. You should learn from Jia Luo and the others in this regard."
"Yeah." Du Mengmeng nodded vigorously and smiled sweetly.
The Xu family's three members didn't know how they got home, but their minds became clearer after they entered the house.
Wang Yuan turned around and looked at her daughter with a complicated expression, and Xu Shiqi didn't dare to move.
"Does it have to be her?" The question sounded a little desperate. Wang Yuan didn't want to be like this, but this meeting really made her see a lot of things clearly. For example, although there were voices of opposition from that family, there were more understanding and support. In front of those people, she was not just a villain who did evil, she was even smaller than them.
I am unwilling to do worse than others. Family background does not mean everything. Why should I be compared with others in this aspect? Even such a family does not care about family background to fulfill their daughters, so what are my struggles
"Mom, Jialuo and I are the same kind of people. We don't like men, we only like the same sex, and there's no way to change that. But if I hadn't met her," Xu Shiqi smiled quietly, "I wouldn't choose to hurt you. Even if I were single for the rest of my life, I wouldn't let you know that my sexual orientation is different from other girls."
Hearing this, Xu Zhongda finally sighed and found a long-sleeved shirt to put on: "I went to the store. It has been closed for a few days and all the customers are running away."
Wang Yuan sat in a chair in despair: "I just feel heartbroken..."
"Mom..." Xu Shiqi knelt in front of her, his head resting on her knees, "I'm fine, I'll be fine. I won't ask everyone to understand me, but the people I care about most can understand me, and that's enough."
"Why are you so silly..." Wang Yuan reached out and stroked her daughter's soft hair, tilting her head back and muttering. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes and poured into her ears, wet like a heart soaked in sorrow.
