Now it seems that he knew about Yan Xici and Xiao Ran's affair.

That's why it's so unusual.

Thinking about it this way, everything seems to make sense.

I was genuinely surprised, but I was also genuinely moved.

Unexpectedly, my usually indifferent father actually spoke up for me in this matter.

If I'm not mistaken, there's not only Yan Xici in the room right now, but also Xiao Ran, right?

She was a little reluctant to go up.

I feel inexplicably depressed.

To be honest, this incident has hurt everyone involved.

......

Inside the house, Yan Xici looked at her father sitting in a wheelchair.

Feeling wronged and sad, her voice was muffled.

Looking into Yan's father's eyes, I saw resentment and anger.

"Of course I've thought about it, but have you ever considered that my sister might never get married again?"

"Why can my sister remarry, but Xiao Ran can't?"

Yan's father roared, "No one is stopping him from getting married, but that person shouldn't be you!"

If it weren't for Yan Xici, Yan's father could confidently say that he would even invite Xiao Ran and his wife to his home as guests!

He can sincerely wish him well!

But this person just can't be Yan Xici!

When it's her, even the simplest things become complicated!

The girl said indignantly, "Why can't it be me?"

She felt a stinging sensation in her eyes.

"Do you think everyone in this world is better than me? Is everyone more worthy of Brother Xiao Ran?"

"From childhood to adulthood, you've always compared me to my sister!"

"My sister is excellent, but am I falling behind?"

These problems actually started when Ahui didn't like Xiaoran.

She not only wanted to prove that she hadn't made a mistake by being with Xiao Ran.

More than anything, I wanted my dad's approval.

She studied hard and was obedient. Even if she didn't want to do something, she would do it as long as her family asked her to.

Isn't that enough?

Does she even have to live in her sister's shadow?

That's so unfair to myself.

All she wants is to be with the person she likes, so why is that so difficult?

See, people are so strange. They seem to be trying hard to prove themselves to their families, and they get sad and upset when they don't get their family's approval.

Yan's father is like this, Yan Xici is like this, and Yan Li is also like this.

Yan's father retorted, "Without your sister, do you think you'd be where you are today?"

Over the years, due to my limited mobility, the burden of life seems to have shifted to my wife, but in reality, it is my eldest daughter who has been supporting me from behind.

Although I never praise her, I always remember her in my heart.

“When you were in high school, your sister worked part-time to support your tutoring.”

"You got into university, and your sister was so worried that no one would take care of you that she took you into her home. She doesn't ask you to repay her, but the worst thing you could have done was to get together with her ex-husband!"

"You're showing outsiders that our family isn't harmonious, and that either your sister or you have a problem between you and your sister!"

"How could Lili, such a proud child, bear this?"

Yan's father pinpointed the problem perfectly.

Public opinion is the most terrifying thing in the world.

kill without spilling blood.

Yan Xici blinked, momentarily at a loss for words.

Xiao Ran, on the other hand, quickly stood next to Yan Xici and tried his best to persuade her.

"Dad, none of this has anything to do with Xici. I took the initiative first. If you want to blame someone, then blame me. Xici is timid, and she is most afraid of you."

If we continue, Yan Xici might really start to cry.

He didn't want to see her fighting with her family like this because of him.

Yan's father sneered, "She's timid? She's bolder than her sister!"

Despite Yan Li's years of hard work and success, and her seemingly strong and capable demeanor, there are many things she wouldn't dare to do even if you asked her to!

But Yan Xici is different.

She always looks well-behaved and cute, but when it really matters, she's capable of poking a hole in the sky!

......

Yan Li stands in the stairwell.

I don't know when, but tears were already streaming down my face.

She leaned against the wall, too weak to even stand.

She always thought she was a person, and that no one in the world would ever really care about her.

But even now, amidst the sounds of arguing at home...

She suddenly realized that this wasn't the case.

My usually quiet and critical father stood behind me at this moment.

My dad loves me and cares about me.

That long-standing regret seems to be being filled at this moment.

Tears continued to flow uncontrollably.

But my heart was warm.

......

Inside, the atmosphere had plummeted to freezing.

Sitting at the dining table, Yan's mother had a long face.

"Things have already come to this point, what's the use of saying all this? How many people already know they're together?"

"Now that they've separated, not only have they broken up a couple who were meant to be together, but they've also become a laughing stock!"

Everyone has a different perspective, so what they say and what they do will naturally be different.

Just like Yan's mother now, seeing Yan's father like this, she really feels sorry for him and also for the child.
