Chapter 474: Mother and daughter gossip
Nebula calendar year 92622, February 34, 5 p.m.
The main city of the Silver Principality, Baisha City.
999 Yinsha Avenue, Qingliu Province.
In the garden, on the lawn, a man and two women are walking.
The man on the left is a burly man and a man of great might. It was He Shannon, the director of the Military Affairs Department of the Chinese Association.
The woman on the right has a delicate face and a graceful posture, and a pair of light blue eyes are sparkling and bright. It was Monica, the head of the Magic Division of the Chinese Society.
The woman between He Shannon and Monica has a gorgeous appearance and elegant temperament. It was Monica's mother, Amanda.
Before the outbreak of the Terran Ten Years' War, the Terran had eight federations and six principalities. After the outbreak of the ten-year war, the eight major federations of the Terran and the five principalities were involved in the war, but only the silver principality remained neutral and did not participate in the Terran war.
The Silver Principality made a lot of war money in the Ten Years War, so after the Ten Years War, the comprehensive strength of the Silver Principality was not greatly weakened like the other eight federations and five major principalities, but developed to an unprecedented peak.
After the orcs invaded the Terrans of the Star Continent, compared to the other eight federations and seven principalities of the Terrans (the Diamond Principality was divided into three), the overall strength of the Silver Principality was the strongest, and the resistance was also the most powerful. Therefore, after the orcs invaded the Silver Duchy, they encountered the most tenacious and powerful resistance in the Silver Duchy.
Compared with the other eight federations and seven principalities of the human race, the war in the Silver Principality is also the most tragic and stalemate.
In the year 92622 of the Nebula calendar, in less than two months, Baisha City changed hands several times, and the guerrilla warfare around Baisha City gradually became white-hot.
Monica is very concerned about her mother Amanda, and has always wanted Amanda to go to the Dark Forest of West Silent Ridge and return to White Sands City after the war. However, Amanda said that she was born in White Sands, grew up in White Sands, and has roots in Whitesands, not to mention, she has lived in Whitesands for many years and spent the best time in Whitesands, so she is reluctant to leave Whitesands. In the end, Amanda said that even if Baisha City was completely reduced to ruins, she would stay until the end and was reluctant to leave.
A few days ago, Monica was restless and always felt that something bad was going to happen in White Sand City, so she insisted on coming to White Sand City, preparing to accompany Amanda for a while, hoping to persuade Amanda to agree to go to the Dark Crow Forest in West Silent Ridge during the company.
Monica has made up her mind, and it is inconvenient for He Shannon to stop her.
It just so happened that the situation in West Silent Hill was not agitated during this time, and the affairs of the Military Affairs Department of the Chinese Association were not particularly busy, so He Shannon couldn't rest assured that Monica was relieved, so he gave himself a vacation, accompanied Monica, and came to Baisha City.
Walking in the garden at this time, Amanda and Monica, mother and daughter, opened up and talked about some topics that the two had been deliberately avoiding.
"Back then, your father Bellucci abandoned me in order to sit smoothly on the suzerain, keep the duchy stable, and marry the Clancy family. I was hurt by love, in order to avenge your father's betrayal, fell into the red dust, and fell willingly, so that your father's name of affection was widely spread, and I lost face because of my fame, and was laughed at by the world, and I was burdened by fame all my life. The past is unbearable, I was so stupid and willful back then, indulging myself and hurting many people. Thinking of the past, Amanda sighed.
In front of Monica, Amanda never mentioned the name "Bellucci", let alone the word "father". Now Monica heard these familiar but unfamiliar words, and her heart was also quite emotional.
"Everyone will have a bad past, or indulgent or presumptuous, or barren or absurd, or wasteful or decadent. No matter how unbearable the past is, it doesn't matter, because, it's all gone. And most importantly, today! Cherish today, focus on tomorrow! Monica said.
"Yes, don't dwell on what you once had, cherish what you can still have, this is really the most important." Amanda sighed.
"Once you understand, it's not too late, the world is still beautiful." Monica smiled.
"The world is inherently beautiful, but the negative emotions of the self blind the self." Amanda sighed softly.
"Yes." Monica smiled.
This time Monica returned to White Sands, and Amanda showed a positive state that Monica had never seen before, and Monica was really happy.
"How you looked at the same thing back then, after many years, looking back, it is entirely possible to come up with a completely different view." Amanda said.
"That's because our experience is always enriching and our minds are always growing. In the past, we looked at a thing from a certain angle, but over the years, we have elevated it to a new level. Monica said.
"Back then, I was hurt by love, and I thought that men in the world were untrustworthy and untrustworthy. I even felt that the whole world had betrayed me, so I was very disappointed in the world, thinking that the world was full of gloom and indifference, so I was resentful, played Hongchen, and did some stupid things. Year after year, I have read too many people and seen too many things. Now, I finally see through and understand. Amanda said.
Monica didn't answer, just turned her head and looked at Amanda.
"One person, one world, in the world of the self, we are kings. However, in the world of others, we are nothing more than dust. Don't use your own standards to measure the world, and don't use your own three views to define the world. With the hand of wisdom to brush away the dust on the soul, we will find that the world is actually very beautiful. With respect, look at each other coldly, listen to each other, cultivate yourself, be kind to others, everything is fine! Amanda sighed.
Monica smiled after listening.
"If you have the chance, you should see your father in the future. Either way, he's your father, and that fact never changes. Amanda said.
"We'll talk about it later." Monica's face turned cold.
"I didn't have a good time after your father left me. In fact, your father didn't have a good time either. Amanda said.
"Didn't he get what he wanted?" Monica asked.
"He got power, but he didn't get joy." Amanda said.
"Why?" Monica asked.
"Because, he's always loved me." Amanda said.
When Monica heard this, she was silent.
"Your father's wife's name is Marilyn. Marilyn is a very beautiful woman, and she knows that your father has only me in his heart, and she is also very depressed. Marilyn is proud and has a lot of personality, and she doesn't want to compromise and get emotional handouts from your father. So, after Marilyn and your father were married, they have always retained their own independent circle. Marilyn also sacrificed her personal feelings to be with your father for the sake of the family's interests. On the surface, Marilyn and your father are a perfect match, but in fact, the two are incompatible, and the relationship between husband and wife exists in name only from the beginning. Amanda said.
"I have to say, it's a real tragedy." Monica sighed.
"That's the reality, and it's not all comedy." Amanda said.
"I think that if Marilyn had made the right compromise and made the right sacrifice, she could have had the love that was supposed to be hers. Even if you can't get all the love, at least you can get most of it. After all, she already has great facilities to get love. With just a little compromise, a little sacrifice, she can turn tragedy into comedy. Monica said.
Monica said and glanced at Shannon casually.
He Shannon looked at Monica and smiled innocently.
"The Clancy family is the second largest family in the Silver Principality, and the women of the Clancy family are both noble and proud, with a stubbornness and strength in their bones. They would rather sacrifice their lives and happiness than their toughness and pride. Amanda said.
"The toughness, stubbornness, and strength of husband and wife are a sharp, double-edged blade that will not do any good except to cut the relationship into a scarred one." Monica said.
"Maybe!" Amanda sighed.
Amanda paused, then continued, "Your father doesn't have Marilyn in his heart. Marilyn doesn't have your father in her heart. Emotionally, neither your father nor Marilyn really giving, nor do they want to. Sometimes, even if there is some giving, it is perfunctory, purely to take care of the other person's feelings. So, on a personal level, after your father broke up with me, he was no longer happy. These are all things that I know now, and I only understand now. ”
