The two talked in the car for a long time before Yu Zeyao drove away. Jing Yu watched him go until his car disappeared from her sight. Her eyes were still fixed on the direction of the distance, and she didn't pull them away for a long time.
The corners of lips are raised.
The evening breeze blew by, and it was not cold at all, but warm. Even my heart was warm.
It looks like summer is coming soon...
Jing Yu turned around and went upstairs, took the key and pushed the door open, only to see the light on in his father's room. The light pouring in from the crack in the door startled Jing Yu and made his heartstrings tense.
Could it be that father has woken up
She took a deep breath and walked towards her father's bedroom. She knocked on the door gently and heard a voice coming from the room, "Come in."
Jingyu pushed the door open and walked in. His father was not asleep yet. He was half-sitting on the bed with his clothes on.
His expression was solemn.
Jing Yu's breathing became a little heavier, and he called him carefully, "Dad."
Jing Chaochen looked up at her, and the door key in her hand immediately caught his eye. He asked, "Why are you going out so late?"
"... I... my friend just came over."
"He who comes here so late must not be an ordinary friend." Jing Chaochen's expression remained calm. "Don't you plan to introduce him to dad?"
My father is a smart man.
At this point, Jing Yu didn't want to hide it from him. He had to talk about it, and now that he had the chance, he might as well just tell it all.
Jing Yu walked in and sat down at the head of the bed. After a long silence, his eyelashes trembled, and he whispered, "Dad, I'm sorry..."
Jing Yu's words made Jing Chaochen's breathing suddenly heavy. He pressed his hands on the bedside tightly, restraining himself, and only asked: "Why did you say sorry to me?"
"The friend who just came is none other than..."
"Yu Zeyao?" Jing Chaochen took over his daughter's words, and Jing Yu was speechless. Jing Chaochen said: "Yu'er, when Dad gave you the key, what did you promise me? Did you promise me that you would end your relationship with him and never have any contact with him again?!"
Faced with his father's questioning, Jing Yu had nothing to refute.
"I also thought that I could end it all with him. At that time, I also thought about ending it all with him. But, Dad, emotional matters are not at all controllable."
Jing Chaochen looked at Jing Yu with disappointment.
Jing Yu felt a little sad. She held her father's hand, "Dad, I know that you, Uncle Liang and him are political opponents, and you always want to fight to the death. I also know that the reason why Uncle Liang went to jail and the reason why you were forced to fall from the building are inseparable from him. But now it's time for you to withdraw from these struggles. He almost lost his life twice for you and me. If it weren't for him, Jing Rong doesn't even know if he could save his life. Maybe you think he has a grudge against us, but he has also been kind to us. He has shown kindness to not only me, but to our family of three - me, you, and Jing Rong."
Jing Chaochen looked at his daughter's deep infatuation with that man, feeling helpless and heartbroken, "Yu'er, you've been bewitched by him!"
"Yes, I admit that I am fascinated by him, and I can no longer extricate myself." Jing Yu had to admit that her former coldness and rationality were all gone after she met this man. However, she also knew that this man was worthy of her love. Jing Yu continued: "Dad, can you try to understand him from another perspective? Even if it is to give your daughter a chance. I promise that he will not let you down at all!"
Jing Chaochen truly loves his daughter.
At the beginning, no matter how hard he thought, he would never have imagined that his daughter and Yu Zeyao would end up like this.
He also believed in his daughter's judgment. Jing Chaochen patted Jing Yu's hand and sighed, "Dad is not unaware of this young man's ability. Not only have I heard about it, but I have also seen it. But... if I really agree to let you be with him, how can I explain to your Uncle Liang and Liang Shengyi when I meet them in the future?"
These words gave Jing Yu hope. She grabbed her father's hand, put it on her face, and whispered coquettishly, "Dad, do you think your daughter's happiness is more important, or your loyalty is more important? Besides, how are you going to explain to Liang Shengyi? Don't even think about it. It's not your turn."
"Shengyi also told me that he left you because he was forced by Yu Zeyao. Dad knows much more about that young man's methods than you do. It's understandable that Shengyi would be afraid."
"It's understandable that he's wary, but it's also an established fact that he backed out before we got married. From the day he left, he and I no longer have any relationship." Jing Yu looked at his father, "So, you don't have anything to explain to him. Besides..."
"What's more?" Jing Chaochen asked.
Jing Yu thought of Jing Rong's injury.
However, Zeyao had told her that the incident might be related to Liang Shengyi. Since it was "maybe", it might not be the truth. Jingyu did not want to falsely accuse him or slander him in front of his father, so he just shook his head and said, "Nothing. We will not mention the matter that is still under investigation for the time being. In short, if you still want to match me with Liang Shengyi, you should give up this idea immediately."
"Pair you two up?" Jing Chaochen said helplessly, "You've said so much to me so firmly today, how could I be so stupid as to want to pair you up again? If you really had no feelings for him, Dad wouldn't be so foolish as to force you."
Jing Yu felt relieved to hear his father's words.
She rubbed her face against the back of her father's hand, feeling touched, "Dad, I know you love me the most. You should also believe in your daughter's choice."
Jing Zhaochen looked at her seriously, pondered for a moment, and seemed to be finally shaken.
"Since you insist on being with him, then let's meet one day. Didn't you say Jingrong is abroad? See when he will come back and ask him to come back as well."
When Jing Yu heard this, the tension in her heart suddenly relaxed. Her eyes were red and hot.
After looking at his father for a long while, he uttered three words softly, "Thank you, Dad."
Jing Chaochen looked at his daughter heavily, "Dad just hopes that in the days when I'm not around, there will be someone who can take good care of you and won't leave you like Dad did. If that person is Yu Zeyao, then I accept it!"
He was half buried in the earth, and when he woke up this time, he would have to be investigated. By then, he would inevitably be imprisoned.
In the remaining long years, there were only the two of them, brother and sister. Why should he embarrass her any more
