Mysterious treasure chest

Chapter 416 He Can't Give Up

After everything calmed down, Gao Yulan held her daughter's hand and asked softly, "Do you understand Yang Hao? Do you understand him, his friends, and his family?"

Xiao Yating shook her head, but she didn't have any expression of frustration, instead she was unusually calm: "I don't know. When I was in Qingjiang County, I thought I knew him, at least a little bit, but now it seems that I know nothing about him." know."

“He has a Lamborghini, he has a huge bodyguard, he can pierce steel with his bare hands, his sister wears a custom Patek Philippe watch, and many other details beyond my imagination.”

"In short, he is almost completely different from what I imagined before, including his character." Speaking of this, the corner of the girl's mouth turned up, as if thinking of an interesting memory.

She smiled and continued: "I have imagined many possibilities. In those imaginations, he may be my prince charming, or my nemesis, or simply a hypocrite who is greedy for my beauty and rich dowry."

"But in the end, when I actually came to look for him, I found that he neither drooled at me, nor was he merciful like a virgin. In the end, he became my Mr. Crutches, and I became Miss Fugitive."

"He helped me, but refused to be my savior. It's fair. What I need is not support, but help. Now I'm learning to rely on my own ability to make money, and I'm learning to use my own brain to make decisions. Eyes to see the world, not what others tell me."

Finally, Xiao Yating smiled softly at her mother: "So, I did know nothing about him in the past, but what does that matter? At least I know one thing now, that is, I need Mr. Crutches, and It is enough to be willing to trust him without reservation."

After hearing her daughter's sincere words, Gao Yulan was suddenly speechless. She didn't know how to speak out about the doubts and advice that she had planned to say.

But I have to do something, she told herself, so Gao Yulan forced herself to calm down, and said while thinking: "Yating, I can tell that you...you trust Yang Hao a lot, but have you considered it?" However, what about the pressure and risks he has to bear for this?"

"Your father, you and I should know very well, and the resources and energy he can mobilize are not something a little Yang Hao can resist, at least not now." She tried her best to make her voice sound Not so cruel: "About this, you... should be very clear?"

Xiao Yating pursed her lips and nodded stiffly: "I know very well, but...but maybe he can do it? At least until now, he has withstood the pressure and risks you mentioned."

Gao Yulan sighed: "Yeah, I've managed it now, but what's next? Your father will never let it go, just think about the statement 'Xiao Tianqin's daughter was kidnapped by a mountain boy' , he will never let Yang Hao go, unless you compromise, or your father compromises."

Without even thinking about it, Xiao Yating shook her head and said, "He won't compromise, otherwise he wouldn't be Xiao Tianqin."

Gao Yulan nodded: "Yes, he will never compromise with a boy in the mountains, so if a miracle happens, if Yang Hao is really stronger than your father, then there is only one result - your father dies, and this dispute will end .”

Her voice trembled unconsciously, looking into her daughter's eyes, she asked, "You...do you really want that? Let him die?"

Xiao Yating looked away as if shocked by electricity, but still stubbornly said: "I never thought of letting anyone die because of me, but if the situation really develops to that day, won't he be able to give up when the time comes? How do outsiders evaluate it?" , is it more important than your own daughter's happiness?!"

Gao Yulan shook her head dejectedly: "Impossible, he can't give up, your grandfather said long ago, from the first day your father chose that path, he can't turn back, and he can't fail."

"Power is his weapon and his talisman. Once he becomes weak in the eyes of others, it will be his end. Those people will tear him to pieces like hyenas."

"So he can fail, but he must never accept failure. He will attack again and again until victory comes or death comes." She lowered her head bitterly: "This is your father, my husband, and The man I once loved."

Xiao Yating suddenly raised her head, her eyes were full of sadness and full of hatred, but her mother's tone made her feel confused. She thought about it, and finally asked, "You... still love him now?"

What is there to love about such a selfish and ruthless man? The girl is full of confusion. She has always thought that her mother is just a victim of a political marriage, so she hates this damn political marriage so much, so she is desperate escaped.

Gao Yulan raised her head, the expression on her face was very complicated, but in the end she just rubbed her daughter's hair and smiled bitterly: "Maybe I love it, maybe I don't, maybe I don't know, but...it's not important anymore , my life has long been changed because of him, whether I like it or not, this is the fact, and time cannot be turned back."

"So now I just hope that my daughter will not make the same mistakes I made, and agree with you from the bottom of my heart to pursue your own life, just like what you said just now, be yourself."

"But if there is a one-in-a-million possibility, I don't want to see a situation where both you and your father suffer losses. Whether it's sacrificing your future and happiness, or burying his rights and life, it's not the ending I want. "

"Moreover, based on the current situation, any reasonable person can foresee the outcome of this struggle, and your father will never be the loser. Even if Yang Hao has great courage and self-confidence, these cannot make up for the conflict between the two sides. There is a huge gap in strength."

"Even if we take a step back, assuming that there is really a mysterious force standing behind Yang Hao, someone who is strong enough to fight against entrenched powerful families like the Xiao family and the Gao family, and is even stronger than the Tianqing Group and the interest groups behind it. power, but—"

She paused for a moment, and said in a more emphatic tone: "Even if your father will lose in the end, in such a terrifying fight to the death, there is absolutely no chance of a pawn pushed to the fore like Yang Hao being spared."

"You probably don't want to see Yang Hao lose his life because of you, do you?" Gao Yulan held her daughter's hand tightly at last, and said earnestly, "So, Yating, leave here with Mom, and travel around the world with me Anything you want."
