Chapter 1276 A Strict Mother and a Loving Father
Upstairs, Zhuang Zhoucheng heard his daughter crying loudly. How could he continue his lunch break?
I got up immediately.
"Qiqi." Zhuang Zhoucheng called out as he went downstairs, his thick eyebrows furrowed tightly. When he came back at noon, he heard Huo Yan say that his daughter was very happy today. What happened in such a short time?
Seventeen immediately raised his head and looked at his father coming down the stairs. He didn't expect his father to be at home at this time.
"Dad..." Seventeen cried out with sobs.
Zhuang Zhoucheng went downstairs and walked towards his daughter. He brushed the hair away from her face with his big hand and said, "Tell me, what's wrong, huh?"
Seventeen shook his head, "I just felt like crying."
"You feel like crying, what's the reason?" There must be a reason, Zhuang Zhoucheng asked back. Young people have pressure from work and love, what else can they have?
"Dad..." Seventeen hugged his father's arm, feeling sad again, "Why can't I find a good man like Dad?"
"Have you been wronged?" Zhuang Zhoucheng asked in a low voice, his eyes a little cold. He sat down beside his daughter and wiped her tears with a tissue.
Seventeen shook his head, then nodded, "Dad, am I a loser?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng rubbed his daughter's hair and wiped the sweat off Seventeen's head. "You are the best. Don't be anxious. You can't force love. Don't be anxious, okay?"
Seventeen rested her head on her father's arm for a long time before she calmed down. Her mother came out with some fruit, glanced at Mr. Zhuang San, and without saying anything, placed the fruit plate in front of her daughter.
"Would you like to eat something?" Huo Yan asked.
Seventeen let go of her hand. To some extent, her mother was still quite dignified. Her father was serious, but that was only when she made a mistake. Usually, her father was a kind and amiable man. When she was at home, it was her mother who disciplined her. So when her mother's face was serious, she had to be careful.
"Mom." Seventeen poked the fruit with a fork without much interest.
Huo Yan sat down across from her father and daughter and asked, "What's wrong? What kind of injustice did you suffer that made you run back crying? Tell me so I can decide whether to call the police or kill that guy myself."
Huo Yan's words were serious, but the content was hilarious. Zhuang Zhoucheng leaned lazily on the sofa, propping his head with one hand, unable to help but laugh. Huo Yan glanced sideways at her husband, and Zhuang Zhoucheng gave her a flattering smile before stepping out of the situation.
Seventeen looked at his mother, expecting her to scold him, but he didn't expect her to say this.
Somewhat dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond for a moment, he subconsciously turned to look at his father. This turn of head was good, since his father had no intention of participating at all. Seventeen pursed his lips, opened his mouth, and seemed to be about to speak, but stopped.
Huo Yan was helpless. "You're exactly like me when I was young. You can magnify even the smallest things, but when something really big happens, you refuse to say anything."
Seventeen looked up, feeling aggrieved. Why did she exaggerate even the smallest things?
Huo Yan said patiently, "Your father and I won't interfere too much in the relationship between you and your brother. As long as it's not a bad choice, we will support it. I won't talk much about your previous relationship and marriage. We didn't get involved in your choice this time. It was all your decision. You said it was good, and now you are also the one who says it's not good. Qiqi, you are my daughter. Have you ever thought about what your father and I should do when you come back crying for such a small thing?"
Seventeen bit her lip and said nothing. Huo Yan looked at her daughter after she finished speaking. Since her daughter didn't say anything, she continued.
"You are my biological daughter. As a mother, how can I sit back and watch you suffer injustice? You feel wronged and come back crying, and you want me and your father to tear you into pieces, right?"
"No, that's not what I meant!" Seventeen spoke up immediately. She just felt aggrieved and came back to vent. Was it necessary to make it so serious?
"You didn't, but you did this. Think about it, as your parents, are we going to just watch you cry and do nothing? Qiqi, this young man is your own choice. If you really want to go on with him, then put away your spoiled brat temper and don't be so intolerant. As long as he has no personal problems, does not do anything illegal or hurts you in secret, apart from these intolerable things, don't come home crying over minor quarrels, okay?" Huo Yan's tone was serious and reproachful.
This is the first time that I have lectured my daughter in such a tone about personal matters. Can a mother shirk her responsibility for the fact that her daughter has suffered such a great emotional loss?
Since there is a chance to start over, parents also need to reflect.
"Mom, I'm just looking for a place to vent. I won't come back for you and Dad to help me vent or anything. I'm just venting on my own..."
"There are many ways and places to vent. Please don't bring these negative emotions home in the future, okay? Look, you came here and cried. Oh, okay, you've vented, you've sorted out your emotions, just get up and leave, leaving the negative emotions to me and your dad. You have reconciled with that kid, and your dad and I are still worried about you at home. Qiqi, please think about mom and dad appropriately, okay?" Huo Yan said earnestly.
It's not about bargaining with your children. Some concepts are neglected as they grow up.
What's the point of just being obedient and kind? It's better for your own children to be a little selfish and be more sympathetic to their own family. If the family had held a more important position in the daughter's heart, she wouldn't have abandoned her parents' home to follow Zhou Haoyu.
Huo Yan herself was not the type to obey her husband in everything. Her friends and family always had a certain place in the world. Would she agree to give up her career, family and friends for Zhuang Zhoucheng? Even if she didn't want this man, she wouldn't give up her roots.
Because I am not that kind of person, I have never worried about this when it comes to my daughter.
But who knows...
Huo Yan was responsible for his daughter's affairs. The way a child turned out was determined by their parents, whether they acknowledged it or not. The child was growing up by his side, so how could he expect her to be like someone else?
Seventeen looked at his mother and nodded slowly, "I understand."
"That's enough. Just a few words are enough. Qiqi is not an ignorant person. Just stop when you are right." Zhuang Zhoucheng couldn't help but speak out. His daughter was wronged and had not received any comfort from her parents. Instead, she was scolded by her mother. As a father, he felt distressed when he saw it.
Huo Yan glanced sideways and glanced at Zhuang Zhoucheng calmly, "We are talking to each other, mother and daughter, why are you butting in?"
