Chapter 419: Defeated Xiu Yungui, the family is dead.
(Cat flutter Chinese) "Let's go, I have to think about how to explain it to my mom so that she can convince her that you are really 'Mr. Crutch' and not 'Mr. Abduction'." Xiao Yating smiled narrowly and got up to go out.
Yang Hao smiled bitterly in the back and muttered, "Actually...... Brother is really a good person. ”
That night, Xiao Yating and Gao Yulan slept in the master bedroom, while Xiao Lori occupied the guest bedroom alone, and Yang Hao slept on the sofa.
The next morning, Gao Yulan stared at the two big dark circles under her eyes and left slightly depressed.
Before leaving, she glanced at Yang Hao with a strange look, but didn't say anything, and after a brief goodbye, Xiao Yating sent her downstairs, and politely but firmly refused Yang Hao's kindness to send her a car.
On the last stretch of the road before leaving, the mother and daughter were silent with each other, and it was not until they parted that Gao Yulan held her daughter's hand in despair and said in a trembling voice: "Yating, don't do stupid things, leave with me, we can go to the United States, to Europe, to any place in the world, why do you need to stay here and bear your father's anger?" ”
Xiao Yating shook her head very firmly: "Mom, I'm sorry, but I have made a choice and am willing to bear all the consequences that will come from this, so you don't need to persuade anymore, get out of here and continue your own life, just as if you never came." ”
Gao Yulan's face turned pale: "Yating, you ...... Haven't you forgiven me already? ”
Xiao Yating smiled gently, gave her mother a powerful hug, and whispered in her ear: "Yes, Mom, I forgive you, but I have my own way, and you can't shelter me for a lifetime, I have to face life sooner or later, since this is the case, then I would rather face everything while I still have the courage." ”
Gao Yulan moved her lips, and wanted to persuade again, but somehow, she suddenly remembered herself when she was young, if I had been braver at that time and chose to stick to my own path, would life be different, she thought bitterly, but there was no answer.
There are no ifs in life, and time cannot be turned back, so why should I force my daughter to choose the future according to my will, let her go, I can only bless her.
Gao Yulan finally sighed, hugged her daughter tightly with her backhand, and said softly: "Mom respects your choice, but I still have to remind you one last time, the path you choose will be ten million times more difficult than you imagined." ”
She let go of her daughter, let her look into her eyes, and said, "Once upon a time, you were Xiao Tianqin's daughter, and people envied and envied you, but they were also afraid of you, but once you really won freedom, it meant that your father lost." ”
"At that time, you will be nothing, without the enjoyment of glory and wealth, without the protection of the power of your family, and even the revenge of your father's enemies."
"Even relatives and friends who boasted about you in the past and treated you very kindly may turn their faces and deny people, you ...... Are you sure you can handle it all, my daughter? ”
Gao Yulan stared into her daughter's eyes, on the one hand, she hoped to see fear, retreat and change of mind, and on the other hand, she hoped that she would be firm and brave, not as cowardly as she was back then.
In the end, Xiao Yating chose the latter, only to see her smile lightly: "Mom, I remember when I was a child, my grandfather's study had a picture of "Kang Long has Repentance", which is said to be the handwriting of Zhu Zhanji of Ming Xuanzong, do you remember?" ”
Gao Yulan was slightly stunned and nodded: "Remember, your grandfather also said that it couldn't be painted by Ming Xuanzong, but he hung that painting in the study, and he liked it very much, and he also raised his pen to match it with a poem from "Dream of Red Mansions"......"
Speaking of this, she suddenly understood what her daughter meant, and also felt her determination.
"The defeat of Xiu Yungui is not a matter of family." Xiao Yating read out this poem lightly and said with a smile: "I can't remember whose judgment it is, but I remember my grandfather's comment." ”
"He said that in life, you should be obsessed with your heart, don't be too pessimistic, don't be too arrogant, you must know that glory and wealth are just flashy bubbles, the changes of the times are the ups and downs of fate, and you and I are mortals, and there will be a death in the end."
The girl's tone was light, and she said the last sentence of her grandfather's comment that year: "But it is precisely because life is limited that we should see through the falsehood and be ourselves, even if we die alone because of this, it is better than spending a life in mediocrity." ”
Gao Yulan's heart trembled, and she remembered her father, who in her memory was a strange and stern schemer, not a kind and gentle good father.
But it is undeniable that he does possess the wisdom that matches his solitude, which no one can match, but so what, as he himself said, no matter how wise a mortal is, he will eventually die.
"Yating, I don't know what you learned from your grandfather, but I think ...... I should know him better than you do. ”
When she said this, Gao Yulan realized that her tone was not as confident as she imagined, but she still forced herself to continue: "And you shouldn't ignore one point, that is, your grandfather was once one of the top powerful people in this country, and he had enough wisdom, skill, and power to realize and defend his way of life." ”
"But what about you, my daughter, if you choose to break with your father, or even let him drink the bitter wine of defeat, then you will have nothing, you will be nothing."
She forced herself to say these cold and hurtful words as much as she could: "And at that time, I will also lose the deterrent power of the fox and the tiger, and the family will definitely suffer as a result, although I don't care about this, but it is certain that then I will not be able to provide you with sufficient protection, and you will have to face all the consequences, including danger and revenge." ”
Xiao Yating pursed her lips, was silent for a moment, and finally showed a 'obsessive' smile, at least in Gao Yulan's opinion.
"Mom, you're not entirely right." The girl smiled and said: "When the time comes, I will indeed be nothing, but I am myself, not 'Xiao Tianqin's daughter', but 'Xiao Yating', I lose those I don't care about, and what I want to pursue may not be as beautiful as I imagined, but I am willing to try and do everything for it." ”
"Also, I don't think I'm going to have nothing." Xiao Yating's eyes swelled with an inexplicable courage and hope, and she smiled brightly: "At least, I still have my Mr. Crutch." ”
Gao Yulan was speechless, her daughter had been dazzled by that mysterious and eccentric boy, and now no matter what she said, she would not look back.
"Okay, Yating, mom has to rush to the capital now, before the end of the Spring Festival, you can change your mind at any time, you have my phone, goodbye." She finally said, but she saw the answer in her heart, even if it wasn't what she wanted.
"Mom, take care." The girl didn't say 'goodbye', just like her mother didn't say goodbye back then. (To be continued.) )
