Chapter 101: Guo Meimei's righteous act
Fifteen years, their family got together again, this time they met, Guan Mian waited for fifteen years, and looked forward to fifteen years. The last time their family got together for dinner like this, Guan Mian's parents had not yet retired, Guan Mian and Guo Meili had just become fathers and mothers, and Liu Jian was only one year old. Now his parents are old, and in their last years, he and Guo Meili have also changed from young people to middle-aged people who have gone through vicissitudes, the most significant is Liu Jian, her growth is the most powerful witness of time, and now she is a big girl, slim and graceful.
"Today we are together as a family, and it is not easy for us to get together, we have been waiting for this day for fifteen years. Fifteen years, there are so many things that can change, including resentment. Liu Bo left without saying a word at that time, and I also resented him, but then I figured it out, resenting him couldn't make him come back. Today, he came back intact, and I was happier than anyone else, but I asked what he had done over the years, where he had been, as long as he came back, and now he is still our son. "In such family gatherings, the father is always the first to speak, and at all times, in this family, the father's word is the authority, the holy will, which cannot be changed or disobeyed. The father has forgiven his son, and their request is simple, as long as the son returns safely.
Guan Mian tells himself why he left home, how he struggled for his career in Shanghai, how he met Bi Xinxin and formed a new family with her. Seeing that the whole family was here, he couldn't hide it anymore, he told him about him and Liu Yue, and told them about him and Liu Yue having children.
Perhaps this is the most shocking thing for the family, the parents did not show any excited expression on their faces when they heard the news, but they were still very happy in their hearts, saying that they had a future in the Liu family. Although Liu Jian is also their grandson, he is a girl after all, and if she is a girl, she will get married, and once she marries, their family's incense will be broken. Guo Meili didn't say anything, no matter what earth-shattering things Liu Bo said now, she could accept it, she didn't expect Liu Bo to stay by her side now, she had long been used to living alone, if Liu Bo suddenly broke into her life, she would not be able to adapt to it. Liu Jian was very excited to hear that he had a half-brother in Shanghai, although he didn't know who his father was since he was a child, and before that, she didn't know whether his father was dead or alive. Now, she knows that she has a father, and for her, this is what she wants, and that is enough.
The family fell silent, they were all thinking about what to do with Liu Bo and Liu Yue's child, in order for this child to really become a member of the Liu family, Liu Bo must marry Liu Yue, so that this child can live in this world openly. Now, the child is still young and ignorant, but he will grow up one day and will know these things, which is very cruel to him, who does not want to have a complete home, home is the most important place for the child to grow up. Liu Jian missed the opportunity to grow up with his father, and he can't let him miss such an opportunity anymore, he needs a father to escort him and show him the direction in his life and growth. Guo Meili knows that children without fathers are different, and Liu Jian also knows that children without fathers will be looked down upon.
"You have said so much, I know you are waiting for my answer, now that the matter has come to this point, there must be a proper way to deal with it, and you can't let down so many important people, they are all your family. Especially children, children are the most innocent, they can't choose the environment in which they live, they can't choose their parents, but we are all very rational people, since they have come to this world, whether they are right or wrong, we should all take the responsibility of being parents. The most important thing for a child's growth is the family, a complete family is the foundation of a child's physical and mental health, I don't want to see a child withdrawn because of the lack of some kind of love, or even being seen as an alien, which is unfair and cruel to the child. Guo Meili now clearly knows that it is unrealistic to let Liu Bo be with her now, or let him stay here. She had fantasized before that Liu Bo would come back to live a peaceful life with her, but then she knew that it was impossible, she only hoped to see him again in her lifetime, even if she couldn't see him, she could confirm from other people's mouths that he was somewhere, someone took care of him, and that he was living a good life, and she would be satisfied.
Today, Liu Bo is back, her wish has come true, she knows that he is doing well, and now she doesn't worry about anything. In later life, she will shift all her focus to Liu Jian's education, these years she tried to make up for Liu Bo's gap in Liu Jian's life, she knew that she would never be able to replace her father's role in the growth of her daughter, but she still did a lot of work so that Liu Jian could grow up healthy and happy.
"I can also hear it, your marriage with Bi Xinxin is over, this is also a miserable woman, the best years of your life have been given to you, but you have lost all your personal wealth, and you don't even have any relatives around, compared with her, I am still lucky. As for Liu Yue, you really love each other and have children, but you can't let her pay for you all the time, a woman doesn't have much youth, she needs the affirmation of the person she loves, she needs a stable home. The child is still young, he needs you to accompany him to grow up, for him to answer the confusion encountered in life, in addition to the helm of the company, in addition to the husband, you are still a father, you can not escape your responsibilities as a father, don't let some regrets brew now, while everything is still in time, close to a father's responsibility, like a man to bear. Guo Meili made a decision for Liu Bo, maybe Liu Bo is difficult to do in it, I don't know what is most important to him, but as an outsider, Guo Meili sees it clearly.
Guo Meili had something to say, everything she said was aimed at Liu Bo, full of resentment, but in all fairness, her words really made sense, he couldn't go on like this, he used to neglect his family for the sake of his career, he had missed the opportunity to grow up with Liu Jian, and he could no longer miss the opportunity to grow up with his son.
Guo Meili gave him an analysis of the reality he is in now, he can only choose to divorce Bi Xinxin now, and then marry Liu Yue openly, only in this way can he be with his son, grow up with him, and make up for what he owes Liu Yue.
The family set their eyes on Liu Bo, they were waiting for his words, as long as he said this sentence, everything was solved, if he still hesitated, he would miss a lot of things again, and this time I am afraid that missing it will be a lifetime, and there will be no chance to make up for it.
"Okay! Just do what the beauty says! I hope I'm right this time. Guan Mian knew what this decision meant to Guo Meili, and once he made this decision, he and Guo Meili had nothing to do with it. He knew that Guo Meili asked him to do this so that he and Liu Yue's children could have a complete home, perhaps this is more important than anything else, and they all said that the biggest career in a woman's life is to educate children, and only when the children are excellent in the future, they are worth it. Women give the best of their youth to their families and children, and of course they have to give something in return.
It's best if things can be solved in this way, Guo Meili focuses on the overall situation, she doesn't ask Liu Bo to do anything for her anymore, nor does she ask him to make up for her, some time is missed, she won't deceive herself and ask Liu Bo to make up for the time she lost. Now the reality in front of them is how to place Liu Yue, she is also a woman, she knows what a woman cares about the most.
"Why don't you leave?" Guo Meili asked Liu Bo, who was still sitting on the sofa and worried, her parents had already left, she thought that Liu Bo should also go, but she was a little uncomfortable with him staying here.
"I want to talk to you. Liu Bo said to Guo Meimei, who was busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.
"I don't have anything to talk to you about, I don't want to hear anything, I don't want you to make up for me, we have nothing to do with now. Without you all these years, the sky has not fallen, I take care of your parents like my own parents, and I will provide for them in the future, you don't have to worry about this. Your daughter, when you left, she couldn't even walk, and now she is a big girl, and she can tell right from wrong, and know what is right and what is wrong. You don't have to worry about her education, even if I have nothing, I want her to receive the best education and train her to be an excellent person. As for how you will treat your parents and your daughter in the future, that's your business, I just don't allow you to hurt them anymore, they can't stand any hurt, especially their parents, their time in this world is running out, I want them to leave happily without any regrets. Guo Meili doesn't need Liu Bo now, her life is already like this, she doesn't blame anyone, and she doesn't want to give up her current life.
Guo Meimei's every sentence is like a thorn in Liu Bo's heart, he has missed the attitude over the years, he thought that without him would not have much impact, now he knows that a pair of parents have no son, a woman has no husband, and a child has no father, this family is not a complete home, no matter how good an incomplete home is on the surface, it will not be happy after all.
"It's all my fault all these years, it's me who was so selfish to throw such a big family to you alone, and it's hard for you. Guan Mian knew that no matter what he said now, he couldn't make up for the mistakes he had made, and once he did something, there was no way out, and there was no way to make up for it.
"Don't say this to me, I don't blame you, I don't want you to make up for me, let the past pass! The important thing is that you recognize your position in the family, and don't let such a tragedy happen again. "Guo Meili has experienced too many things over the years, and she can withstand any wind and rain now.
"Maybe you should talk to your daughter, she needs a brother to touch the piano to greet her and care about her growth. Guo Meili said to Liu Bo. Liu Bo also wanted to talk to Liu Jian, he wanted to hear his daughter's voice and listen to the troubles she encountered growing up. This should have been his father's responsibility, but he didn't have such an opportunity, and now that he finally has such an opportunity, he can't miss it anymore.
Yes, in this world, he owes his daughter Liu Jian the most, and in her upbringing, maybe her father is just a concept and does not play much role. He didn't dare to imagine how Liu Jian would answer when others asked her, who is your father and what he does, the word father may never make her proud, but will only make her humiliated.
Liu Jian left while they were chatting, this sixteen-year-old girl had already understood a lot of things, she knew that this man who had come from Shanghai was the father she had always wanted to see, the person she wanted to dream of the most.
When she was a child, she hoped to go to the park with her father and mother to swing, go boating in the artificial lake, and sit on her father's shoulders when she was tired, pestering her mother to eat a chicken leg burger. At night, arguing for her father to tell fairy tales and her mother to sing lullabies before she would go to sleep, these are things that others are accustomed to, but for her they are too luxurious. Now that she's older, her father isn't that important in her life.
Before, she wanted to share with her father the secrets of her upbringing, as well as the troubles she encountered along the way, but now, she has learned to be independent, she keeps everything in her heart, and never tells outsiders. At that time, Wang Wei was there, she would tell Wang Wei what was on her mind, Wang Wei was like an elder brother who could tolerate her mistakes, and Wang Wei was like a father who could make her understand many things in life. The time when she studied with Wang Wei was the happiest time for him, and she sometimes imagined how nice it would be if Wang Wei were her family! She also hoped that her father would treat her the same way as Wang Wei did to her, so that her growth would be full of laughter.
"She's on the rooftop, when she's in a bad mood, she likes to sit there alone in a daze, no one asks, it's been like this all these years, I'm really worried about her, but I can't help her, I'm really afraid that something will happen to her, then I won't have anything, you know, she is all I have, it's my life. The reason why Guo Meili has supported her to live all these years, and even made her not accept the pursuit of others, is because of Liu Jian, she also wanted to remarry and live the life she wanted, but she was afraid that Liu Jian would be wronged for this, so she would rather suffer and bear the loneliness of the night over the years than let Liu Jian suffer a little grievance.
