Chapter 485: Realistic?
Originally, I was quite happy to hear the first half of Jiayue's father's sentence, but there was a condition in his later sentence, which suddenly made my heart hang again.
Condition?The only condition?What condition?
Although he hasn't said it yet, I think it shouldn't be a simple condition, after all, it's a daughter raised by himself, and suddenly he has to hand it over to a boy who hasn't grown all his hair, how can it be so simple, right?
So I looked at Jiayue's father in front of me, and asked after a while
"What.. What conditions, uncle?"
Seeing me ask Jiayue's father for a long time, he didn't say anything for a long time, and at this time, the waiter on the side brought up the meals ordered by the two of us, and the heat of the meal couldn't hide the suffocating coldness between the two of us.
Seriously, at this time, I had a feeling of confrontation with Jiayue's father, and I always felt like a negotiation or something!
I don't know what conditions Jiayue's father will put forward, and I don't know if the conditions he said will be excessive...
Just when I was thinking about it, Jiayue's father finally spoke, and he turned his words around, looked at me and asked
"Before I tell you, I want to know... Have you ever thought about your future with Xiaoyue?"
"Have you ever thought about what kind of life you will face in the future behind your relationship?"
I was a little overwhelmed by this sudden change of subject, and I looked at him and didn't understand what he was saying for a while...
And Jiayue's father also seemed to see my confusion, only to see him look at me again, and continued
"I'll put it simply, it's just.."
"Have you ever thought about how the two of you are going to live together in the future? Have you ever thought about it?"
His words made me secretly exclaim my day, meow just thought about it a few days ago, but I didn't expect Jiayue's father to ask like this?
But I didn't come up with a reason at that time, so I looked at Jiayue's father, nodded after a while, and said truthfully
"I've thought about it. But.."
"Didn't think too far ahead, because... I've just graduated now, and... I haven't been with Xiaoyue for a long time, but..."
"I'm not saying that there is no plan, I just... I want to wait for everything to settle down and then think about those things."
What I said was ambiguous, I feel that it should satisfy Jiayue's father or something.
As a result, I didn't expect to hear me say this, Jiayue's father actually sighed, his sigh made my heart cold, and I looked at him nervously, I don't know if I did something wrong..
After another five or six seconds, Jiayue's father suddenly spoke
"It's good that you can think about that... Actually.."
"That's what I want to tell you... What about me.."
"I know that I am not a very qualified father, and it can be said that the biggest mistake I did was not giving Xiaoyue a complete home... So.."
"I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, although you and Xiaoyue are in free love, but, I believe in my own daughter's eyes, I can also see that you are not the kind of child who is very messy... But.."
"No matter what, I'm still going to say what I have to say... Your current position in the company should be considered good, although you are only a college graduate, but I think, if you continue to develop, you should be able to have a good salary, right? I have no objection to you being with Xiaoyue, but..."
"I mean, if you plan to stay with Xiaoyue forever, you have to give her a home... Do you see what I mean?"
I didn't expect Jiayue's father to suddenly say so much in a row, and he didn't react for a while...
I don't really understand what he said, a home... What does he mean?
I guess I also saw the confusion on my face, Jiayue's father lowered his head, and soon looked at me again and said
"To be clear, it's.."
"If you want to live with Xiaoyue in the future, you have to buy a house... I just have this one condition, you want to buy a house in Beijing, it doesn't have to be too big, the two of you, and the future, you have children or something, you can live enough, if you have a car... Look at the needs of both of you... I'm not involved in this, but... A house must be there, a house in Beijing.."
When I heard Jiayue's father say something like this, I had been... I feel like I can't say anything...
At this time, the thinking in my mind has been emptied, and all that is left is the sentence "a house in Beijing"...
A house in Beijing, are you kidding?
I'm fundamentally .. Something I've never thought about..
Because I know that people like me with average family conditions, let alone in Beijing, it is very difficult to buy a house in our urban area, let alone in Beijing, a place where every inch of land is valuable...
Jiayue's father opened his mouth to ask for a house in Beijing, which is not.. What about my life?
At this time, I finally understood why he came here specifically, why he said, just such a condition...
Because of this condition, it was enough to shock me, enough to make me breathless.
At this time, I suddenly remembered the events of that day, remembered Zheng Jiayue that day, and told me about the future of the two of us.
Now when I heard Jiayue's father say this, I felt that something was wrong, it was probably the last time Zheng Jiayue went home, her father told her about this problem! At that time, Zheng Jiayue must have known that it would make me very embarrassed, so she didn't tell me at all after she came back. Now I didn't expect that Jiayue's father would come over in person and ask me to say such conditions!
At this moment my mood has hit rock bottom, I don't know what to say, or rather, I don't have the confidence to speak...
I don't know if Jiayue's father deliberately said such a condition to embarrass me, I can't see the expression on his face clearly, and I can't tell what kind of emotion he is looking at me now...
I just looked at him like that... After a long while, he said with a trembling voice
"Beijing.. Beijing house?"
"I... In my place.. Isn't it okay to buy a house?"
This may be what I can still afford, this may be what I am now, and I can still afford.
As a result, I didn't expect Jiayue's father to look at me for a while, and then shook his head.
He looked at me and said calmly
"Maybe it's not good to say that, but... You have to understand me, how I am a father, in what mood I came to see you and say such things to you."
"Although I haven't been a good father, I have never wronged Xiaoyue... I used to want her to come back to work with me, but... She likes Beijing, but she doesn't want to go back, so... In this society, who is a father who wants to watch his daughter marry and live in a worse place?
"Now when you get married, you all want a house and a car... Let's not talk about me, you don't want you to marry Xiaoyue in the future, and the two of you will have to rent a house together, right? Do you think that's happiness? Do you think that's the life you want to give her? So..."
"That's all I have on the condition, and that's what I ask of you as a father.. Can you do it?"
Jiayue's father's words gave me goosebumps on my back... I looked at him in front of me, and suddenly I felt that the space around me had become distorted...
Can you do it?
Can I do it?
Frankly, I can't do it... It never occurred to me that there would be such a problem, or it could be said that I did not have the guts to think like this. I didn't expect that today's self would be bothered by this kind of topic that people often talk about, and I didn't expect that I would be entangled in the house, and I couldn't even breathe...
I lowered my head for a while, but I still looked at Jiayue's father in front of me, and said in a trembling voice
: "I... I'm now.."
"I don't have that financial strength right now, but... I'll try.. I will.."
"Find a way to make money!"
Unexpectedly, my words did not make Jiayue's father have any reaction... He looked at me for a long time before he spoke in a low voice
"Realistically, what do you think..."
"Do you believe it yourself?"
