Chapter 319 Feeling powerless and frustrated
Zhao Yuan tried to persuade her at length, but Zhao Lai Di remained as steadfast as iron, unmoved and firmly believing that Su Jin Nian was the one in a million, the irreplaceable best partner.
Faced with such a stubborn daughter, Zhao Yuan felt powerless and frustrated. This was undoubtedly an unprecedented and enormous predicament he had encountered since becoming a father.
Compared to her younger sister Zhao Laidi, the older sister Zhao Zhaodi has always been a well-behaved and sensible child. Whether in her studies or daily behavior, she requires little effort from her parents. Even in matters of the heart, she consistently maintains a high degree of respect for her parents' opinions.
But it was this second daughter who caused them so much worry during her studies. Now, having just entered university, she has fallen head over heels in love and become completely obsessed with romance.
Thinking about all this, Zhao Yuan felt a splitting headache and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his forehead, trying to relieve his anxiety and helplessness.
He took a deep breath and earnestly advised again:
"Laidi, Dad hopes you can calm down and think carefully about what I just said. You know, in this world, parents are always the people who love us the most and only think about their children! Why don't you think carefully about whether Su Jinnian is really as perfect as you imagine?"
Hearing her father's earnest words, Zhao Laidi bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes revealing a hint of stubbornness and determination.
She stiffened her neck and shouted back:
“Dad, I know in my heart that you and Mom said those things out of love for me. But I love him, and this love comes from the bottom of my heart. He loves me just as much, and he takes great care of me in his daily life.”
He is diligent, hardworking, and ambitious; all his struggles and efforts are simply to break free from the constraints and troubles imposed on him by his family of origin. Therefore, I will never choose to separate from him, because the future is my own to live!
As time ticked by, the two had been talking for quite some time, but Zhao Laidi seemed to have completely ignored what she was saying.
Zhao Yuan helplessly held his head, his anger rising.
He couldn't understand why, despite all his earnest and heartfelt advice, his sister remained so stubbornly unconvinced.
Just then, Lin Fangfang slowly walked over, gently nudged Zhao Yuan's shoulder, and said:
"Brother Yuan, forget it, don't waste your energy. Even if you lecture her a whole bunch of道理 (moral principles) tonight, she probably won't listen to a single word. Just let her be!"
Laidi, this is a choice you made yourself. No matter how difficult or challenging the days ahead may be, it's something you'll have to face on your own.
Although your father and I feel sorry for you, we will never take any coercive measures to interfere with your life.
However, Mom still hopes you can remember one thing: don't do anything out of line before graduation.
If a person doesn't even cherish themselves, how can they expect others to cherish them?
You should calm down and think about it carefully!
After saying this, Lin Fangfang grabbed Zhao Yuan's hand and turned to leave without saying another word.
At this moment, only the two sisters, Zhao Zhaodi and Zhao Laidi, remained in the spacious main room.
Zhao Laidi raised her head, her eyes blurry with tears, and looked at her sister, her voice slightly choked as she asked:
"Sister, do you also think that what Dad just said was all true?"
"Laidi, I think you really need to calm down and think things through right now."
When you're in a relationship, you often only see the good qualities your partner has. But the problems your dad mentioned are probably hard for you to notice in your current situation.
However, if you truly cannot let go of these feelings, your parents will absolutely respect your choice! (End)
To have such understanding and open-minded parents as us is a truly lucky and happy thing!
However, in the days to come, you must maintain an appropriate distance from the other person. Don't do anything that crosses the line, and definitely don't put yourself in a passive or disadvantageous position!
Zhao Zhaodi said with a serious expression.
Hearing her sister say this, Zhao Laidi couldn't help but raise her head, staring directly at her and asking:
"Sis, if Dad asked you to break up with Chen Runping right now, do you think you would obey?"
Zhao Zhaodi paused slightly, then slowly answered:
“Laidi, your situation with Su Jinnian is completely different from mine with Chen Runping.”
We've been classmates since junior high, and we studied together all the way up to high school. You could say we know each other very well.
Even so, we didn't officially become a couple until our junior year of college!
Moreover, before we even started dating, my dad had already conducted a thorough investigation into him, and we only began dating after he gave his approval.
"If my father had objected or disagreed with my relationship back then, I wouldn't have dated Chen Runping!"
"Hmph! Then you two must not be that in love, otherwise why would you wait so long? And how can you still be dating after not seeing each other for a whole year? That's too strange!" Zhao Laidi said, pouting.
Zhao Zhaodi frowned and retorted:
"Laidi, how can you look at things like that? People who love each other don't necessarily have to be together every single moment."
Two people can work together to strive for a better future.
Caring for and looking after each other, you thinking of me and I understanding your difficulties—that's what true love should be like.
It's not like what you imagine, where all they want to do is be together all the time.
Zhao Laidi rolled her eyes dismissively and said:
"Tch, your excuse is exactly the same as our mother's, it's so outdated!"
I don't think so. I believe that if two people truly love each other, they will want to be by each other's side every moment.
The reason you and Chen Runping can't be together every day is simply because you don't have the means.
Zhao Zhaodi sighed helplessly and said earnestly to Zhao Laidi:
"Laidi, I know that no matter what we say, you probably won't listen to a single word right now."
However, I must solemnly remind you of one thing: no matter what, you absolutely must not have that kind of intimate relationship with your boyfriend before you get married!
This is very important; you must remember it and do it!
