She walked over and put down her bag, mumbling, "What are you doing? I'm just going to the hotel to chat with my classmates, especially female classmates. I'm not going to a bar."
At this point, she felt aggrieved: "Even if I go to the bar, I'm already in my twenties. What's wrong with going to the bar for fun?"
"Girls abroad have the right to be independent when they turn 14, and their parents won't say anything even if they play until the early hours of the morning."
Father Hai was originally trying to suppress his anger and wanted to have a good talk with her and hear what she had to say.
As a result, I heard her complaining as soon as she entered the door.
He immediately scolded: "We sent you abroad to let you go out and learn knowledge, not to let you learn those messy habits. Let me ask you, what did you do tonight! Why did your Aunt Ye call us and say that you would not go to the Ninth Institute?"
When Haitong heard that they were mad at her for this matter, she became even more upset and stood there and retorted: "I just went to a musical with my classmates."
Father Hai's face darkened and he wanted to say something.
Haitong's mother quickly grabbed her and said, "That's enough. Didn't you see that the child is getting angry with you? You two, father and daughter, should communicate well and stop yelling at each other."
Then she looked at Haitong again, and said in a reproachful tone: "You too, don't argue with your father. You know your father has high blood pressure, do you want to piss him off to death?"
Haitong pouted in grievance, but ultimately decided not to confront him head on.
Father Hai also turned his face away, breathing heavily, and let his wife pat his chest to help him calm down. He barely suppressed his anger and did not continue arguing.
At this time.
Haitong's grandmother spoke.
The tone is very gentle.
"Tongtong, don't blame your father for being strict. You are a girl, and he is worried that it is unsafe for you to be out alone too late."
Haitong looked at her grandmother whom she had respected since she was a child, and she also calmed down: "I know, grandma."
Haitong's grandmother has the temperament of a lady from a Jiangnan water town. Even though her hair is full of silver hair, she still has a gentle and quiet temperament.
She was wearing a small jacket that was very much in the style of her hometown, with a string of aquamarine agate beads around her neck. The aquamarine agate hanging from the buttons of her jacket was both delicate and noble.
Even the way she spoke had a calming quality.
"I called your Grandpa Ye and asked him about it. He also said that you didn't want to go to the Ninth Institute. Can you tell grandma what's going on?"
In fact, their family received a call from Ye Lan in the evening. Everyone was shocked to hear that Ye Lan would not allow Haitong to enter the ninth institute.
Then, Haitong's grandmother called her husband's friends to inquire about the details.
It is said that the Ye family has taken good care of them over the years.
In particular, Ye Maoshan respected his widowed sister-in-law very much.
But this time when Haitong's grandmother called to inquire about this matter, Ye Maoshan had no intention of changing his mind. He only told them to respect the child's wishes.
This is why Hai's father couldn't help getting angry as soon as his daughter came home.
“…It’s not that I don’t want to go to Jiusuo.” Under the guidance of her grandmother, Haitong was no longer as sharp as before.
She briefly explained the whole story.
In her description, she was the most innocent, and it was because Ye Lan was partial to Qiao Nian that she asked her not to go to the Ninth Institute.
She herself never mentioned not going to Jiusuo.
It was Ye Lan who first proposed it.
After hearing what Haitong said, the people in Haitong's family looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.
Grandma Haitong was the first to come to her senses.
