Rebellion. From childhood to adulthood, he has never been associated with this word. Although Zuo Yuhai was dissatisfied, he was speechless when he saw Zuo Yueyao's distant eyes.
Zhou Ling didn't expect her son to ask her this question, but as a veteran leader who now sits firmly in a high position, she would never lose her momentum because of such a sentence. "I am your mother. You have the right to decide on your life's most important event, but I also have the right to make suggestions."
"But from the beginning to the end, you have exercised the right to decide." When masters duel, it is not the loudness of the voice that matters, but the courage of each of them.
Zuo Yuhai still couldn't help but said: "Did you get angry outside or something? Why are you talking to your mother so harshly?"
"I'm not a thorn." Knowing that his tone might be a little harsh, Zuo Yueyao adjusted his mood a little and said calmly: "Mom, no matter what standard you use to measure my other half, it is always your standard, not mine. The standard of my other half should be defined by me, because it is me, not you, who will accompany her through life."
Sometimes it is not a good thing for a son to be too smart. Once this layer of paper was punctured, Zhou Ling could no longer continue to deal with lies. As a mother, what she least wanted to see was a head-on conflict with her son. Her son was not a person who would throw tantrums, but he would not tolerate anyone touching his psychological defenses, not even her as a mother.
And his psychological defense line is Su Xian.
"So, your standard is that girl?"
Zuo Yuhai had never met Su Xian, and his knowledge of this girl was limited to what he heard from Zhou Ling. Zhou Ling never said anything bad about the girl. What Zhou Ling always emphasized was that she was not suitable for his son, and was not suitable in any way. Naturally, Zuo Yuhai was not satisfied with this girl named Su Xian.
"yes."
Hearing his son's decisive answer, Zuo Yuhai rebuked him dissatisfiedly: "Marriage is a lifelong thing. Liking someone now does not mean that you are suitable to live together. Your mother is keeping an eye on you for your own good. We are all experienced people. Don't make it seem like we are deliberately doing this to you."
"Dad, how do you know if we are suitable to live together?" Zuo Yueyao remained calm and composed as always. "If any of my grandparents didn't agree with you being together and broke you up for this reason, what would you do?"
This general defeated Zuo Yuhai's army
"Yueyao." Zhou Ling was a little at a loss for words: "A family like ours."
"Mom." After traveling thousands of miles without a moment's rest, his first purpose after returning was to sit down and have a good talk with his parents. He hoped that things that happened in the past without his knowledge would not happen again: "No one can decide their own birth. There is nothing wrong with her being born in such an environment. On the contrary, perhaps it is precisely because she was born in such an environment that she has the tenacity and courage she has today. There is nothing we can blame her for. She has done very well along the way. Sometimes I think, if it were me, maybe I would not have her perseverance and optimism. You have given me a stable life, and I am very grateful, but I hope you don't exclude her based on the standard of family conditions. This is very unfair and disrespectful to her."
Zuo Yueyao spoke with confidence and neither servile nor arrogant. He defended his love and also protected Su Xian's self-esteem.
"I know she's a good girl." Zhou Ling never had any objection to this: "I just think you can find someone better than her."
"I can't find one." Feelings are really amazing: "Since I met her in Heyunling that year, I have never thought of trying with anyone other than her, and I don't think there is anyone more suitable for me than her."
Zhou Ling finally lost his temper: "If I had known I shouldn't have taken you there!"
"It's too late." Zuo Yueyao finally smiled: "Perhaps it was destined from that time that she would be your future daughter-in-law."
Zhou Ling's face didn't look very good, but he didn't object anymore.
"The favor she owed you should have been owed by me. You knew she had no idea from the beginning to the end, but you kept using this favor to make her compromise, but you knew she was kind and soft-hearted. Mom, she is the one I love, and I have never wanted to let her suffer any grievances. If you hurt her, it would hurt me more than hurting me, so please don't go to her and tell her to leave me, okay? Life is only a few short decades, so please let two people in love be together and let us have the joy of being together, okay?"
This was probably the first time that Zuo Yueyao begged Zhou Ling for something in such a humble manner.
Zuo Yuhai was stunned by these words. He had never seen his son in such a difficult situation before. "I'm really curious, what kind of person is this girl named Su Xian?"
"Someone you'll love when you meet him."
The man who returned to the room finally breathed a sigh of relief. Things went more smoothly than he had imagined. He took out his cell phone and saw the text message from Su Xian as expected: "Have you arrived home?"
She's so cute when she's proactive.
Zhou Ling sat on the sofa for a long time. Zuo Yuhai watched her in silence, not daring to say anything. He couldn't hold it back until the end, "I think what my son said makes sense. This is his own business. It's not good for you to interfere too much. Look at his attitude just now. He didn't come to discuss with us at all, but to inform us. I think it's better to forget it. Don't let an outsider ruin the good mother-son relationship."
Zhou Ling listened to her husband's nagging and rarely did not get angry: "When we broke up their relationship, I thought it was over. I didn't expect that after so many years, they can still be together. This is probably fate."
"So? You accept your fate?" Zuo Yuhai cautiously tested his son.
"So what if he doesn't recognize her?" Zhou Ling knew her son best. He was a good boy. Even if he knew what she had done, even if he was very dissatisfied, he still controlled his emotions and didn't get angry. But not getting angry didn't mean he could interfere. The words that seemed like a discussion but were actually a reminder gave Zhou Ling a headache. "Don't bother me anymore. I need to be alone and quiet."
Zuo Yuhai watched Zhou Ling walk into the room, then slowly closed the door. He looked at his son's room door again and felt like he was redundant.
Fortunately, the personal connections he had established over the years were relatively stable, and Su Xian and Huang Kaifeng had always had a good reputation in the circle, so they both expressed their willingness to work with them. This made Su Xian feel that the hard work of traveling around for so many days and the meals he had treated others to were all worth it.
On this day, Su Xian was having dinner with an old client. As they were chatting, he saw Zuo Yueyao walk in, accompanied by a beautiful woman who was as tall as his shoulders. She was petite, but her figure and appearance were excellent.
Su Xian thought about Zuo Yueyao's blind date. Could it be
The two of them sat down a little distance away from them. Su Xian squinted her eyes and although her facial features were not very clear, her behavior was still very obvious. She saw Zuo Yueyao pour a glass of water for the other person, then she saw her handing him a napkin, and she saw him smiling at her.
Su Xian directly concluded that Zuo Yueyao was cheating! This really pissed her off!
The customer also looked in the direction Su Xian was staring. As an experienced person, he probably guessed what was going on, so he smiled and said, "It looks like someone is trying to steal our little Su's girl."
Su Xian felt sorry for his gaffe, but the other party didn't mind: "We have just finished discussing our business. We can discuss any specific issues during the cooperation. I think it is more appropriate for me to take the lead at this time."
Amid the embarrassment of being teased, Su Xian personally sent the client to the car. After the car left, he returned to the hotel again and went straight to Zuo Yueyao's table. Compared with Zuo Yueyao's indifference, the woman opposite looked at Su Xian with surprise.
"Who are you looking for?"
Not only is she pretty, but she also speaks so softly, which can easily arouse a man's desire to protect her. Su Xian doesn't think she is any worse than her, but she is really unhappy. She ignored the other person's scrutiny and just stared at Zuo Yueyao and said, "If you really don't want to be with me, just tell me clearly. We slept together not long ago, and now you are dating another woman. What about me?"
"What?" Zuo Yueyao looked at her with a half smile.
"Just tell me the truth today, do you still want me or not?" The entanglement during this period did not make him feel frustrated, but when he saw this scene today, he really could not stand it anymore. Could it be that he would really give Zuo Yueyao to someone else just like they said
"Then what?"
"What then?" Su Xian was almost confused by anger: "If you really don't want me, I won't bother you anymore. I don't care who you want to go on a blind date with! If you still have me in your heart, but you are just mad that I dumped you twice, I can try my best to make it up to you and try to make you calm down so that we can be together again."
The woman across the table burst out laughing: "Zuo Yueyao, have you been dumped by her? Twice?"
Zuo Yueyao answered without shame: "Indeed."
The woman covered her mouth and laughed: "No way, Zuo Yueyao, you can still be dumped."
You talk as if you know him so well! Su Xian rolled her eyes: "I don't want to see you two being so affectionate, just say it!" In fact, she herself hadn't thought it through. If Zuo Yueyao really said that she didn't want him anymore, did she really intend to give up
Zuo Yueyao frowned slightly: "If normal conversation is considered as lovey-dovey, then there are many people of the opposite sex who are lovey-dovey with me every day. Su Xian, are you going to be so angry every day?"
Su Xian was speechless. He took two big gulps of Zuo Yueyao's glass of juice and put it heavily in front of him, expressing his protest and dissatisfaction with his actions.
She was waiting for his answer, an answer she wanted to hear but was afraid to hear.
"She must be the Su Xian you mentioned."
"Yes, I am Su Xian." The man who was so angry that he was confused didn't realize that there was anything wrong. "I am Zuo Yueyao's ex-girlfriend, but as long as he nods now, I will immediately become his current girlfriend."
This is what is called when love rivals meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. No matter how beautiful the woman is, and she didn't say anything excessive, but Su Xian just couldn't like her. She didn't like anyone who was thinking about Zuo Yueyao.
From then on, her love was selfish!
The woman was not angry about this scene. She even held up her chin with an expression as if she was enjoying the show.
Zuo Yueyao didn't nod, nor did he say anything to refuse. It was really bad to be kept on suspense. Su Xian didn't want to continue to be embarrassed in front of outsiders: "Forget it, wait until you have thought it through before giving me an answer. I'm going back, you guys take your time eating!"
When he turned around, one of his hands was grabbed by someone. Su Xian gritted his teeth and turned around, looking at Zuo Yueyao's smart eyes with a smile: "When I was sixteen, I gave you a pen. Do you remember?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it. As soon as he did, Su Xian felt guilty and answered with a stiff upper lip: "I remember."
"Then do you still remember that you threw that pen away in front of me?"
"Remember."
"Do you know the origin of that pen?"
"You didn't tell me." The answer became less and less confident.
