Chapter 388: Adolescence

Mr. Senna's voice became more forceful, and he said on the phone, "It's me, Senna." ”

"I know, sir, have you been feeling better lately?"

Su Mu asked, he didn't think about cutting off contact directly, and he sent an invitation to Mr. Senna at the wedding, but at that time he had already entered a top health center, and finally failed to come in person, and it happened that he was at the height of his withdrawal reaction.

"It's a lot better, I wanted to call you this time to say thank you, if you hadn't found me, maybe I'd have been addicted to it forever, I really feel like I'm dying lately. ”

"Haha, hold on, Mr. Senna, this is for the good of the future, I have arranged someone to take care of your company, and after getting my promise, the casino is also willing to let you postpone the repayment period.

Why do you like to gamble for money, and go to MGM, if you come to my Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino, I'd be happy to forgive your debts, provided you don't continue gambling. ”

"Stop laughing at me, Leon. ”

In a helpless tone, Mr. Senna continued: "I am almost removed from my will, and not a single relative has come to visit me since I came here, and this time I have really made up my mind to break those bad habits, and the mutual aid society has helped me a lot. ”

"I'll talk to you when I have time, bring the best whiskey and cigars, OK?"

"That's so thankful, I read the newspaper and found out that the NASDAQ crashed, are you okay?"

"I'm fine Senna, it won't affect me too much. Su Mu said, chatted about each other's recent situation, and quickly hung up the phone.

Lily turned her head and asked, "How is Mr. Senna?"

"Well, it's certainly not good, but I hope it doesn't change him too much......"

Gambling and drugs, one of which is almost the end of the game, and Mr. Senna's addiction to both, from a billionaire to a pauper, takes a lot of perseverance to overcome.

……

A helicopter flew in from a distance at the moment.

Su Mu's own helicopter, which has a tarmac on the yacht, slowly landed.

I was thinking about who was coming, and soon I heard the voice of his cousin Qiqi, and shouted with a sad face: "Cousin, I ran away from home!"

"Running away from home, what's going on, is it arguing with my aunt at home?"

Kiki walked down from the top deck, and the ship's attendant immediately brought her a glass of chilled watermelon juice, and she sat down next to her cousin Su Mu, and told in a huff:

"That's right, I'm so old, she still likes to make decisions for me on her own, she never thinks about what I really want, and I can't stand it anymore every day at home!"

Lily, who was sitting on the side, shrugged her shoulders and said, "You Chinese parents always seem to like to give their children more restraints, but I don't like that. ”

"I don't like it either! I feel like my mother always wants me to live according to her ideas in the future, and even my personality must be according to the character she likes, and it is my fault every time, she never thinks that she is wrong, and if she says that I am not filial, I have no conscience, and I am almost angry! The truth always seems to be on her side!"

This kind of housework is the most troublesome, not to mention that one is his cousin and the other is his aunt, Su Mu continued to lie comfortably, and said in his mouth: "It's very sad that my parents and my grandfather are also this character, it seems that Chinese people think this is a natural thing."

In this way, they are comfortable, but it puts a lot of pressure on the children, and to be honest, my parents have always thought that they have taken most of the credit for my success, however...... At the time, they thought I should be a lawyer or a doctor. It is their credit that their children succeeded, and they did not succeed because they did not listen to them, many Chinese immigrants have come to the United States for more than 100 years, and this concept has not changed, Qiqi, you can only endure it. ”

"Sounds unlucky, but what about you, will you do the same to our sons and daughters in the future?" said Lily, with some reason to be worried.

"Me?"

Su Mu immediately shook his head, "I won't interfere with the child when he becomes an adult, the relationship between parents and children in Chinatown is generally not good, especially when the child becomes an adult and becomes independent."

Parents always think that this is the child's fault, but in fact, this is their own foreshadowing, just like a spring, the more you press too hard, the greater the rebound strength, and it is important to maintain the appropriate strength. Instilling your own ideas directly in your child is simply stifling creativity, and many truths should be understood by themselves. ”

Kiki felt that what she said was right, and nodded again and again, "I'm afraid to meet my mother now, and I prefer to stay alone in school, so that I feel free and only need to talk to my parents occasionally." ”

It's hard to understand their thoughts, Lily is speechless and lies aside to drink juice, in her opinion, the family relationship between Chinese people is too complicated, and some practices are simply magical, such as Su Mu's mother, who often says that he is not good here and there, in fact, Lily feels that Su Mu is already very good, and the words of encouragement have never been said, all emotions are suppressed in the bottom of her heart, and she is not good at expressing them.

When Western children become adults, they go out and work their own, they are more independent, more free, and can make decisions about their own lives, which she discovered as early as when she was a student at Castellar Public High School.

Every time I go to school and end of school, almost all of the people who come to pick up my children at the school gate are Chinese. Learning is the same, many Chinese children are even considered to be not studying hard enough because they are not talented enough, and every family thinks that their children are smart, but when Lily memorizes a hundred words, some students don't even remember five, can they really explain it with not working hard enough?

Learning talent has been decided as early as at birth, and many students who can't learn can only be forced by their parents to spend five or even ten times as much time to study inefficiently, and that scene hurts when I think about it. A lot of independence is erased little by little by parents as early as the growth stage......

"Cousin, what should I do~"

"I can't help it, you just endure and hide, I have a lot of houses, you can live as long as you want, and the ancestors have already told us how to deal with our parents. ”

Hearing her cousin's words, Kiki's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "What's the solution?!"

Su Mu told her seriously: "I can't afford to provoke, I can hide! It's useless to expect my parents to change, I was already desperate at a very young age, so the only one who can change is yourself."

If the suggestion conflicts with your ideas, think about whether it is right, and if it doesn't, just deal with it superficially. But there are also parents who manage their children very thoroughly, and they can't go against their opinions at all, look at Li Ping'an, even before he proposes, he has to ask his parents first, should he marry the girl he likes very much......"
