After Li Juli and her teammates parted in the afternoon, she drove back to Gaoyang alone. Lee Sung-yao called her in the morning and asked her to go home in the evening, saying that he had something important to say to her.

After dinner, Li Juli followed Li Shengyao into Li Shengyao's study. Sitting on the chair in the study, Li Juli felt a little apprehensive. After all, it had been a long time since he had left immediately, and he had not sat down alone with his father to talk.

Lee Sung-yao asked with concern, "Ji-hyun, I've been very fortunate in the company these days." ”

"It's fine." Li Juli shook her head, unlike in the past, Li Shengyao's voice today was extremely gentle, not as harsh and harsh as in the past. The rare gentleness of her father made Li Juli a little unbearable.

Looking at his daughter's uncomfortable expression, Li Shengyao sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that he has been really too strict with his daughter over the years. After hesitating for a moment, Li Shengyao spoke: "Zhixian, I have read your letter. ”

"Letter?" Li Juli was shocked, it couldn't be the letter she was sandwiched in "PridePrejudice", right?

"It's the one you put in the book." Li Shengyao said calmly, "You found it when your doll mother cleaned up the house for you." ”

The doll mother is really, and she hasn't figured out when she will hand it over to her father, and ...... Li Juli looked at her father nervously, but found that Li Shengyao was not angry.

"Don't be nervous, you're right, I'm not a good father, and I'm not a good husband." As he spoke, Lee Sung-yao straightened up and said with a serious expression, "Ji-hyun, give my father a chance to fulfill my father's responsibilities." Don't wait for me to be a hundred years from now, and I won't even have a loved one to see me off. ”

"Abba, this joke isn't funny at all." Although Li Juli said this, she knew that what her father said was the truth, and she couldn't understand how much her younger brother Zheng He hated him, but she definitely hated it to the point that she didn't want to meet, even if her father was really gone one day. If it had been placed in the past, he might have sided with his younger brother if he didn't know the truth.

But now it was different, because he knew that his father was doing it entirely for his younger brother. In fact, from the moment she knew the truth, she had already understood her father and why he had been so strict with herself since she was a child. The father put the harshness that should have been placed on his younger brother on himself.

Li Shengyao turned his head and wiped the slightly moist corners of his eyes in a direction that Li Juli couldn't see, and then turned to Li Juli again and said, "Zhixian, there is one more thing to come to you this time." ”

didn't know what her father was going to say, Li Juli didn't interject, just listened quietly.

"You know, I didn't agree with you being an entertainer back then." Speaking of the events of the year, Li Shengyao actually showed a smile on his face, "Your little abacus can be mastered, do you really think that if you run away from home, everything will be fine?" Not to mention moving to your little girlfriend's house in Seoul, even if you move abroad, I have thousands of ways to get you back. ”

"Yes." Li Juli responded in a low voice, seeing her love for herself from her father's smile, the funny thing is that she really thought that if she moved out, her father would not be able to find herself, but now that she thinks about it, she was really naïve at that time.

"Remember when I told you the other day that you and I ran away from home when we were young?" Looking at Li Juli, who is maturing day by day, Li Shengyao's words are full of relief, "The day you moved out, I thought, it's time to let go." I didn't follow the path your grandfather chose for me, and since you have your own ideas, then let you go on your own. Now it seems that Abba, I made the right choice back then. ”

Li Juli, who is not good at words, even if she has a thousand words to say, she only condenses into one sentence when it comes to her mouth: "Abba, thank you." ”

Li Shengyao shook his head and said lovingly: "Silly boy, thank you for what you said to me." At that time, although you were allowed to sign a contract with CCM, Abba, I was not at ease. The entertainment industry is so chaotic, what if my daughter Li Shengyao is wronged? But I was afraid that you would be suspicious, so I asked your Uncle Liu to instruct his subordinates to buy about 25% of the shares from the original shareholders of CCM in his personal capacity. Although there is no holding, at least it is guaranteed that no one in CCM wants to beat your idea. ”

"I see." Li Juli suddenly realized that it was no wonder that from the time she joined the company, the company's senior management, including the president Kim Kwang-so, took special care of herself, and she couldn't ask why. However, my father's secrecy measures were really good, so that although he received some care, he did not have too obvious flattery, I think they didn't know that it was the Korean venture capital and the Li family in Goyang who were standing behind them.

Li Juli understands her father's approach, after all, her father is thinking about himself, and he has indeed saved himself and his teammates a lot of trouble.

Li Juli asked Li Shengyao, "Abba, so you still have CCM shares there?" ”

"There is no more, yesterday Xiao Hao informed me that the CCM shares in our hands were acquired by a company called Mon-Ch." Li Shengyao seemed quite remorseful about this matter, and explained to Li Juli, "Zhixian, the other party is menacing, and he directly found someone from the procuratorate. Without knowing the specific intentions of the other party, Abba, I am really worried about you. I specially called you back today to ask you, has the CCM accident affected you? ”

"Don't worry, Abba, I probably already know who it is." A smile appeared on the corner of Li Juli's mouth, and what made Li Juli even more happy was that her father seemed to have really changed, becoming more approachable, and becoming more considerate of her, which could be seen from his words just now, his father used "you" instead of "you".

"This Mon-Ch, Ji-hyun, do you know?" Li Juli's reaction, Li Shengyao was a little surprised.

Hearing her father ask like this, Li Juli thought of Yin Zhichen's appearance: "If I'm not mistaken, the person who bought the shares from Abba is called Yin Zhichen." ”

"Yin Zhichen?" Li Shengyao touched his chin and asked Li Juli with some doubts, "Is that the kid whose identity we can't guess?" Ji-hyun: How did you meet him? Li Shengyao was a little worried about his daughter's relationship with him, and in his heart, he didn't want anything to happen to his daughter and her. In his concept, people who can't see through are very dangerous, and he is afraid that his daughter will fall into it and can't get out.

"Oh, he's Zhaoyan's friend." Li Juli replied.

Hearing that things were not what he thought, Li Shengyao also breathed a sigh of relief: "Since it is your teammate's boyfriend, naturally I will not treat you badly, then I am relieved." ”

"Abba, is there anything else?" He seemed to notice something strange in his father's eyes, as if he had something to say to himself.

Li Shengyao looked into his daughter's eyes and asked calmly, "Jihyun, you said in your letter that Abba and I are like a thorny rose, so that even if you love me, you don't dare to approach me, right?" ”

"Yes, roses are beautiful, but they have thorn companions." Li Juli nodded, when she was with her father, she was always afraid, and her father's majesty always made it difficult for her to get close.

Li Shengyao pretended to smile lightly and said, "Then Abba will pull out the thorns on his body with his own hands." ”

"Abba." Li Juli couldn't speak anymore, she couldn't imagine how much pain she had to go through and how much change she had to make to pull out the thorns on her body, especially for someone with a character like her father.

Looking at the smile on her father's face, she knew that her father was no longer a thorny rose at the moment, but a rose from Sharon, and the deep father's love was like a petal that had been burned through, warming her heart.

Li Shengyao stood up from the chair, opened his arms and said to Li Juli: "Now, my thornless rose, Zhixian, you are no longer afraid." ”

"Abba." Li Juli threw herself into her father's arms, buried her head in her father's chest, and hugged her father tightly.

This is the first time in 20 years that the father and daughter have embraced.

……

In the city of Seoul, 20 kilometers away from Goyang, Jeon Baolan is at the home of his father, Jeon Yong-rok. The two of them sat at the dining table with their father, eating a dinner that was not very rich but unusually warm made by their father.

Tonight, Quan Yulan didn't go home, and there were only two people at the table, Quan Baolan and Quan Yonglu. Although I don't know why my father called me over to finish dinner today, Quan Baolan enjoys spending time alone with my father, of course, provided that my father doesn't open his mouth.

"Sapphire Blue." Quan Yonglu finally spoke, "Over the years, she has been doing well. ”

Quan Baolan was silent, of course she knew that the "she" in her father's mouth meant her mother.

Seeing that Quan Baolan didn't speak, Quan Yonglu sighed: "Baolan, don't blame her. We were all responsible for what happened back then, and it wasn't her fault alone. ”

"I know." Quan Baolan looked at the bowl in front of him, turned over the rice grains in the bowl with his chopsticks, and said softly.

Quan Baolan's reaction was seen by Quan Yonglu, but he didn't mean to stop: "In a few days, you're going to the United States, right?" ”

"Yes." As if knowing what his father was going to say, Quan Baolan replied reluctantly.

Quan Yonglu smiled reluctantly: "Baolan, after you arrive in the United States, go and see her, she loves you more than you think." Two years ago, before he left, he told me that you and Yulan are like kites, and the reason why she is holding the long line in her hand is that you are flying too far. She is reluctant to let you go, and she is even more reluctant to leave you. The reason why she left is also because she underestimated your love for music and did too many things to hurt you, hoping to get your forgiveness. Two years is long enough, this is her homeland after all, and she will come back if you ask. ”

"Hmm." Quan Baolan nodded, she didn't know when she seemed to have let go of the obsession with her mother in her heart, and had more understanding and tolerance. I don't know where my thoughts drifted, and it seemed that there was a warm embrace on the roadside bench......

"Sapphire Blue?" Seeing her daughter in a daze, King Quan Yonglu's daughter put some vegetables in her bowl, "Come and eat." ”

"Hmm." Quan Baolan carelessly took the food in Wang's mouth.

Looking at his daughter who stuffed rice into his mouth, Quan Yonglu sighed, he said everything he had to say, Meiying, there is only so much I can do.
