Chapter 212 I Don't Agree to Break Up

Now, when I'm in front of someone else's mother, I can't help but feel guilty.

Fortunately, Qu Jianhang never mentioned those things, and his attitude towards him was normal.

"Do you have something to say to me?" Qu Jianhang looked at him and smiled.

Pei Muye got straight to the point: "Auntie, I'd like to talk to you about Youyou's education."

"Was it Ruan Ruan who sent you?" Qu Jianhang said, "Actually, there's nothing to argue about. You can educate yourselves, and I'll do mine. When it comes to educating children, there's a good cop and a bad cop, that's normal."

“I know,” Pei Muye said, “but we should have a bottom line. If we say we can’t do this, then we definitely can’t do it.”

Qu Jianhang said, "To be honest, I've never raised a child before. When I recognized Ruan Ruan, she was already this big. But even if I haven't eaten pork, I've seen pigs run, so I know what to do. Besides, when our child grows up, will she go and commit murder or arson?"

"Auntie, when Youyou grows up, I'm afraid he'll have a lot of responsibilities to shoulder. Besides learning all sorts of things, the most important thing is his character."

“I don’t agree with that,” Qu Jianhang said. “Whether it’s your assets, Ruan Ruan’s assets, or mine, in the future, if Youyou is willing to take over, he can. If he’s not willing, then we’ll find a professional agent, and he can just focus on having fun.”

Pei Muyi was very troubled: "Auntie, you can't do this."

"What's wrong?" Qu Jianhang said, "If Youyou doesn't like being a manager or a CEO, are you going to force him to do something he doesn't like? What if he wants to be a painter? What if he wants to be a pianist? Forget about those things, I'd support him even if he just wanted to play with mud."

"Yes, I know..."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's really not a big problem," Qu Jianhang said. "Youyou is still young. Besides, as I've already said, no matter how much I spoil him, there are limits. He won't do anything bad in the future, like murder or arson. You can rest assured about that."

After talking with Qu Jianhang, Pei Muyi became even more worried.

Does that mean a child is good enough if he doesn't commit evil deeds, murder, or arson?

Of course not.

He was groomed to be the successor of the Pei family from a young age.

Although the old man loved him, he was also very strict in disciplining him.

From a young age, he knew that he had responsibilities on his shoulders and that he couldn't be as willful as other children.

While other children were playing and having fun, he was reading books and learning all sorts of knowledge.

He felt wronged and complained at that time, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Because Pei Yaohai didn't manage things, and his mother had passed away a long time ago.

Although the old man loved him, he couldn't be as attentive and gentle as his parents.

Looking back at the past and then at the life Lin Youxing has lived, it's true that comparisons are odious.

However, Lin Youxing is still young, and with Lin Xiyin's previous discipline, there shouldn't be any problems.

He only relaxed after he got together with Qu Jianhang.

I no longer want to practice calligraphy, which I had been consistently doing.

Effort is naturally hard work.

Persistence will certainly not be easy.

No child wants to suffer voluntarily.

Especially after a period of relaxation, it's time to return to one's original life.

It is undoubtedly difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

That's how Lin Youxing is now.

Lin Xiyin asked him to practice calligraphy, but he sat for less than ten minutes before his bottom started to itch, and he kept fidgeting and wouldn't write properly.

When Lin Xiyin saw the words he had written, she became even angrier.

In reality, the handwriting of young children is hardly beautiful, let alone possessing any style or character.

But at least, what he used to write was neat and tidy, stroke by stroke.

Looking at things now, it's like going back to square one.

Lin Xiyin was furious: "Rewrite it! If it's not up to standard, you're not eating tonight!"

The little guy felt guilty, pouted, didn't say anything, and lay down to write again.

Finally, Qu Jianhang came to find us: "Why is it taking so long? Haven't you finished writing yet?"

Lin Youxing was writing, while Lin Xiyin was reading a book beside him.

It's a picture of peaceful and serene times.

Qu Jianhang felt very comfortable after seeing this.

Lin Xiyin went to look at Lin Youxing's handwriting again. This time it was a little better than before, but it still didn't meet the standard.

She said, "Mom, Youyou practices calligraphy every day. How long has it been since he last wrote? Look at his handwriting..."

"I think it's fine," Qu Jianhang said. "The child is so young, his little fingers haven't even grown in yet. Holding a pen for so long will hurt his hand. Okay, stop writing."

“Mom,” Lin Xiyin said, “Youyou started writing when she was two years old, and she has persisted for a year now. If she gives up now, all her efforts over the past year will be wasted. If she wants to write again, she will have to start from scratch.”

"If you ask me, Ruanruan, you're taking this too seriously. He's still so young, there's no rush for these things."

We've come full circle back to the original topic.

In fact, the two have completely different educational philosophies.

Qu Jianhang felt that Lin Youxing should be given a happy childhood.

Lin Xiyin felt that it wasn't that she didn't want him to play, but there was no way he could play all the time except for eating and sleeping.

Some habits can cultivate his focus.

Lin Youxing had already started practicing calligraphy back in China.

I bet he's even forgotten how to hold a pen now.

Lin Xiyin was very angry, but she couldn't argue with Qu Jianhang.

Back in her room, she could only vent her frustrations on Pei Muye: "Didn't you say you were going to talk to Mom about this?"

“Auntie said she didn’t intend to groom a successor.” Pei Muye spoke frankly: “Well, neither you nor Auntie are wrong. Can’t we find a middle ground?”

“My mom is very protective of her,” Lin Xiyin said. “She wants Youyou to do nothing but play.”

"Well, these few days are the Lunar New Year, so even if you go to school, you'll still have winter break. Youyou is so young, she hasn't even gone to school yet, so she deserves a break even more. We can start again after the break, okay?"

"By the time the holiday is over, all the good habits I had developed will be gone."

Pei Muye sighed: "Or you can just break ties with your mother."

Lin Xiyin was unwilling too.

She had finally reunited with her biological mother, so how could she bear to argue with her?

"If Uncle Yan were here, that would be great." Lin Xiyin sighed. "I think my mom would listen to Uncle Yan."

“I don’t think so,” Pei Muyi poured cold water on her idea. “Uncle Yan is more likely to listen to Auntie.”

“I wonder how my mom and Uncle Yan are doing,” Lin Xiyin said. “I keep getting the feeling that they’ve been arguing.”

Lin Xiyin was quite perceptive in this regard.

Although Qu Jianhang called Yan Chengyu in front of her last time.

But in the past two days, she had seen Qu Jianhang sitting alone downstairs, staring blankly out the window several times.

That state of mind was really a bit off.

Lin Xiyin thought for a moment and then quietly sent a message to Yan Chengyu.

Uncle Yan, it's almost Chinese New Year, are you on holiday?

Yan Chengyu was still busy when he received the message, and by the time he saw it, two or three hours had passed.

He replied: There is no holiday; I will be busy until the Chinese New Year.

Lin Xiyin picked up her phone, glanced at it, and replied: You guys are so busy. Do you have time to chat with my mom?

The words "The other party is typing" appeared at the top of the chat box, but she didn't receive a reply from Yan Chengyu for a long time.

Yan Chengyu didn't know how to reply to her.

He was afraid Qu Jianhang would blame him for telling the truth.

He was telling lies, but deep down he didn't want to deceive anyone.

In the end, he didn't continue the topic, and only asked: When are you coming back?

He cannot travel abroad unless it is for official business.

Otherwise, he felt he might actually abandon everything to go find her.

How could this woman be so cruel?

Can she just let go of a relationship with someone like that?

separate?

She makes it sound so easy!

Yan Chengyu grew angrier the more he thought about it, so he switched back to his chat with Qu Jianhang and sent him a few words directly.

I don't agree to break up!

When Qu Jianhang saw that message, especially the big exclamation mark at the end, he could almost see Yan Chengyu's anger.

disagree?

What's the point of you disagreeing?

Relationships are always a matter between two people.

One person's opinion doesn't count.

Qu Jianhang replied to him: Then I'll break up with you unilaterally.

Yan Chengyu gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He said: "We'll talk when you come back."

Qu Jianhang replied: What's there to talk about between us? We're just friends with benefits.

Yan Chengyu was so angry he almost smashed his phone.

He was so angry and heartbroken that he said those things, which gave her something to say about him.

Has she never said anything like that before?

He pressed hard on his phone to type: Did I say something wrong? Isn't this how you defined our relationship before?

Qu Jianhang said: So, we broke up, that's it. We were just friends with benefits, so don't contact me anymore.

Yan Chengyu pinched the bridge of his nose, forcing himself to calm down.

He typed: Hanghang, it was my fault, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I apologize to you.

Qu Jianhang replied: I can't accept Secretary Yan's apology.

Yan Chengyu had a terrible headache.

Qu Jianhang was unyielding to both soft and hard approaches, and had even gone abroad, making it impossible for him to talk to him in person.

Qu Jianhang added: "I heard that Secretary Yan is sick and hospitalized. At your age, you should take good care of your health. You don't need to contact me unless necessary."

Yan Chengyu asked her: Are you worried about me?

Qu Jianhang replied: You're overthinking it.

Yan Chengyu typed: I don't care, I'll definitely see you when you come back. Have fun abroad these next few days, we'll talk when you get back.

Qu Jianhang put down his phone, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

She said goodbye to Lin Xiyin and went out.

Lin Xiyin knew that at this time every day, she would go out to visit her friends.

Perfect timing! She could take this opportunity to have a good chat with Lin Youxing.

The little guy grew up with her and is quite obedient to her.

In the end, the two reached a consensus.

Lin Youxing can take a break during the winter break, but he must complete the tasks assigned by Lin Xiyin.

Of course, she also assigned fewer tasks than before.

Furthermore, she also required Lin Youxing to promise that no matter how much homework there was, he would not be perfunctory and would complete it seriously.

If you don't take it seriously or it's not up to standard, you have to rewrite it.

Lin Youxing accepted all of these.

Lin Xiyin felt a little better after that.

She knew that Qu Jianhang loved the children, but she definitely couldn't accept spoiling them.

Moreover, she still planned to have a serious talk with Qu Jianhang about Qu Jianhang and Yan Chengyu's relationship.
