Rekindle 2003

Chapter 846: It seems like my parents aren’t good people either?
Chen Xiangming and Duan Liqin sat on the sofa and exchanged serious glances.

Since we don't have that kind of relationship yet, then...

They wanted to give their daughter one last chance to choose.

They don't want their daughter to fall into an irreversible situation because of a momentary impulse.

Having been in officialdom for a long time, Chen Xiangming and Duan Liqin know too well the complexity of this world.

After all, the world operates under two completely different logics.

The bottom layer is a civilized society, where breaking up or even divorce is fine, they are all options, and they are all for personal happiness.

The upper class is a jungle society.

More like a pride of lions on the African savannah.

Unless the male lion falls, the female lions in the pride have no choice but to have an affair.

So, it’s not that layer of membrane that is important.

But once my daughter and Qingyun have that kind of relationship, if anything goes wrong in the future, regardless of whether Qingyun himself is willing to let go, his position and class will not allow my daughter to leave.

Because her daughter's body has been marked with Qing Yun's mark.

Chen Yue suddenly smiled brightly when she heard what her parents said, "I thought you were going to tell me something about being well matched."

Chen Xiangming and Duan Liqin both curled their lips. Chen Xiangming glared at Chen Yue unhappily.
"What's the point of saying we're a good match? We're not selling our daughter! If we really wanted to sell you, we would have sold you this summer instead of taking you to Aunt Liu's house to try to stop us."

Then he rolled his eyes and said, "A lot of people called me the day you finished your exam."

Chen Yue was stunned when he heard this, and then he shouted angrily, "Oh wow, it turns out that last time was just a show!"

Her eyes flickered with anger.

Chen Yue will always remember that night when she was looked at as if she were an animal being selected.

Only then did she realize that compared to Qin Manyan, a rich and beautiful woman, she, as the daughter of an official, was the first choice for marriage.

Her father, who has been in the urban construction business for a long time, actually has considerable power. Whether in politics or business, he has strong supporting capabilities.

Whether in politics or business, her family is the best candidate for marriage.

No wonder!

She used to think that Aunt Liu, who had always been very kind to her and was like a godmother to her, looked at her like that that day.

It’s all just a show after all this time!
no……

Didn't they support me in taking the path of the 'ignorant girl' in the past?

Duan Liqin smiled and explained her confusion, "My daughter, mom and dad never wanted you to continue on our path.

We know all too well what it's like to go into politics.

This is not the situation ten or twenty years ago. You are a girl and you are not born to take this path.

It’s just that you were still young at the time, and we didn’t want to discourage your ambitions or deny your efforts.”

Mr. Chen's face was full of complicated expressions.

She now finally understood her parents' original intentions.

She didn't understand before.

Now, because she has started a business with the youngest brother, she has been exposed to society in advance, and is understanding it as a senior leader. Only then does she understand this truth.

She was born not to be able to take this path.

Because in everyone's eyes, she is the most suitable tool for marriage.

Unless she clearly tells the organization that she has given up on the idea of ​​marriage, others will never choose her when considering candidates.

Moreover, even if she made her attitude clear, others would still think that "people's ideas change". Even as her position improved, more powerful families would come to propose marriage to her.

Chen Xiangming faced the murderous gazes of the two tigresses, one big and one small, lit a cigarette and spoke slowly,

"My daughter, let me be frank, love doesn't require a good match, but marriage does.

Mom and Dad are worried that you will be wronged in the future because you won’t be able to get a marriage certificate if you follow Qingyun.

So the question mom and dad want to ask you now is, do you choose love or marriage? "

Chen Yue was silent.

For a long while, she did not directly state her choice, but began to slowly tell her parents about every detail of her time with Qingyun.

"Dad, Mom, do you know? Qingyun... he is really special." Chen Yue's voice was filled with tenderness. "He respects me and supports me. He makes me feel that I am growing up every day, and every day is fulfilling and happy."

She recalled the time she spent with Qingyun, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously. "He never treated me as someone who needed to depend on him. He encouraged me to have my own career and dreams. Next to him, I felt that I was an independent individual with my own values ​​and pursuits.

Being with him, I have learned a lot and grown a lot. He has shown me a wider world..."

She took a deep breath and continued, "I know that choosing him may mean that I have to take an unusual path. But I believe that as long as there is love and trust, there is nothing that cannot be overcome."

At this point, she looked at her parents, her eyes full of pleading, “Dad, Mom, I don’t ask you to fully understand, but I hope you can support me.

Because I really love him and cherish the relationship between us.

You know, he was..."

Chen Xiangming and Duan Liqin listened quietly to their daughter's words.

The two looked at each other from time to time, complex and subtle emotions revealed in each other's eyes, and an unspeakable premonition lingered in their hearts.

They knew it would be like this.

A girl who is in love is simply unacceptable!

Chen Xiangming sighed, interrupting his daughter's sweet and silly memories, and said with a serious and concerned look in his eyes,
"Yueyue, tell daddy, are you with him because he gives you a stage to display your talents, or do you really like him?"

The leaky little cotton jacket that was in love made him feel helpless and funny.

But what he never expected was that Chen Yue looked at him with a look full of doubt.
"Dad, what's the difference?"

Chen Xiangming was speechless for a moment, and started to complain, "Why is there no difference?" Although his words were justified and in line with mainstream thinking, there was a hint of frustration and helplessness in Chen Xiangming's voice at this time, and he sighed in his heart.

Damn it, my daughter has grown up and it’s hard to deceive her anymore!
He actually knew very well that these were still two completely different logics.

'Love and career support cannot be confused', this is the ideal logic of a normal civilized society.

According to this logic, liking a man and choosing him because he can give you a stage are two completely different things.

People who believe in this logic would say that if it is just because this man gives you an opportunity to display your talents, then the foundation of this relationship is not solid. What will you do if this stage is gone in the future, or someone who can provide a bigger stage appears?
They would say that if you truly like him, then no matter whether he is rich or poor, no matter whether he can give you the opportunity to display your talents, you will firmly choose him, and only such a relationship can last long.

But Chen Xiangming knows better that the logic of real society is not like this.

The second set of logic is a more realistic and cruel set of social rules.

This logic is not entirely based on emotional purity, but includes many practical interests and life considerations.

In this realistic logic, personal emotional needs and career development are often intertwined.

When a person chooses a partner, it is not just based on emotional attraction, but also on whether the other person can bring him or her stability in life, help in career, or improve social status.

This choice is not based on infidelity to love, but on rational consideration of the reality of life.

Chen Xiangming knows very well that in the adult world, love often does not exist in isolation, but is inevitably linked to factors such as personal life goals, career development, and social status.

In some cases, a partner who provides a platform for the exercise of one's talents may be seen as a resource, an opportunity that can promote personal growth and social mobility.

Chen Xiangming hopes that Chen Yue can clearly realize this, but he also doesn't want her to realize this.

because……

In his heart, his daughter will always be that little baby who is just learning to speak.

If possible, he would rather his daughter never grow up and remain childish and simple all her life.

But apparently...

The cabbages have been eaten by wild boars. This girl who has been exposed to society early is worthy of her title of Little Chen of Yanhuang Group. She has already understood the second set of logic.

As expected, Chen Yue smiled and said, "I like him, and he also happens to be able to create a stage for me to fully display my talents, which shows that my choice is correct, and the two are not contradictory.

Dad, you can't possibly want me to find a man I like but who is a loser, right?
Your logic is pure sophistry. This is not an either-or extreme, but a balance, a comprehensive consideration.

Your daughter is not stupid or blind, how could I possibly like a piece of trash?"

Chen Xiangming sighed upon hearing this.

Well, it does.

If he really meets this kind of little yellow-haired boy, he will go crazy.

Although he was still worried, he had to admit that his daughter's words made sense.

He was worried about his daughter's future, but seeing how determined and sensible she was, he couldn't help but feel very comforted.

"Okay, you chose your own path, so don't look back, keep going! Your parents will always support you."

Duan Liqin next to her looked at her husband helplessly. She knew that his sighs throughout his life included his recognition of his daughter's growth and his acceptance of reality.

Their daughter is no longer the little girl who needs their constant protection. She has her own thoughts and choices.

She shrugged her shoulders and said, "As you wish, little girl."

"Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Mom!"

Little Chen was so happy to get the blessing from his family that he got up and gave his parents a kiss on the face, and then laughed happily.

After a long while, Chen Xiangming finally spoke quietly, "After all, there is no such piece of paper."

Chen Yue comforted her parents. Her smile showed her longing for the future and her persistence in love. "I've made up my mind. I choose love over that piece of paper."

Duan Liqin looked at her daughter with a complicated expression. Her eyes showed both worry about her daughter's new journey in life and pride in her daughter's courage in pursuing her own happiness.

"Yueyue, you are still young."

Her daughter is her flesh and blood. She knows that her daughter has her own dreams and pursuits, and she has found her place in this vast world.

only……

In her heart, her daughter will always be the one with tomboy hair since she was a child.

how……

How come you suddenly grew up?

Duan Liqin sighed softly as she watched her daughter begin to hold up her shirt at just three months old and dress more and more femininely.

In her eyes, Chen Yue smiled foolishly, but his eyes were full of brilliance, "Mom, with some people, once you see them, you fall in love with them for a thousand years, and that's him.

Besides, he promised me that he would try to be fair on that piece of paper."

Little Chen always knew his parents' obsession, so he used the words of the stinky youngest brother to comfort them.

Let’s just get through the current situation first.

Well, as expected, Duan Liqin was so angry that she laughed, "How can this be fair? My girl, either he is lying to you! Or you are lying to us!
The country will not allow him to change his nationality for what he did!"

She has seen a lot of things like this.

However, for Qingyun, this is just a pie in the sky.

Unless he stops making semiconductors, how could the country be willing to let this industry, which could be strangled at any time, be put in the hands of a foreign private entrepreneur?

Who dares?

When Chen Xiangming heard this, he was suddenly stunned, with a strange look in his eyes. Then he asked cautiously, "Chen Yue, tell me the truth, did he really say that?"

Seeing his father so serious, Mr. Chen felt a little puzzled, but he still nodded seriously.

Then, Chen Xiangming's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. He suddenly laughed out loud and clapped his hands repeatedly, "Great! Great!"
