"It's your own fault that your money went down the drain. Did you even ask for my opinion before you did this?"

Yang Sisi's father retorted sternly, "You're in your early twenties, can't you be a little more sensible? We're doing all this for your own good. Society is so competitive these days, if you don't have any outstanding qualities, how will you establish yourself in society? You're our only child, and in your current state, how can we feel comfortable entrusting the company to you?"

Yang Sisi remained unmoved and replied, "Who told you not to have another child? Fine, you didn't, but you only had me, and you don't care if I'm happy or not. You only know how to treat me as a continuation of your entrepreneurial dreams. But not everyone wants to live like you. If I have children in the future, I will definitely spend half my time with them, instilling in them the right values ​​about life and family..."

Yang Sisi's father interrupted her urgently, "We've given you the best life among your peers, what more could you want? Sisi, if you don't reflect on this and keep talking to us like this, then you're really being unreasonable."

Yang Sisi smiled dismissively and replied, "Aren't you the ones who should be reflecting on yourselves? Your understanding of life is too narrow. You think that as long as I have enough material things, I should be satisfied. But besides material needs, aren't there spiritual needs in life? Ask yourselves honestly, how many meals have you cooked for me over the years? Have you ever let me feel the love of a father or mother? I've been living with a nanny since I was three years old..."

At this point, Yang Sisi choked up; her resentment was genuine...

Yang Sisi's parents fell silent, a hint of guilt on their faces. As an observer, I could understand them. Because Yang Sisi lacked a deep understanding of society, she easily got stuck on trivial matters concerning family.

Let's assume that Yang Sisi's parents were like most ordinary people, her life now might not be any better. Especially for a pretty girl like her, it's easier to be tempted by material things, lose yourself, and then try every means to find shortcuts.

I'm not advocating for the influence of parents' financial strength on their children. I just feel that without Yang Sisi's parents' hard work over the years, she might not be living with the dignity and confidence she has now. Even with a regular job, she would have to put up with her boss, unlike now where she's the one who always has to argue with others, while they have to appease and accommodate her!

After a moment of silence, Yang Sisi's father finally spoke again, saying in a very forceful tone, "It's no use saying anything to us now. We've seen more of the world than you, and we have a more comprehensive understanding of society, so there's no room for discussion about studying abroad. Once you have your own resources in the future, we can let go and not interfere with you, but absolutely not now."

Yang Sisi cried first, then said with a resolute expression, "What if I refuse to study abroad?"

Yang Sisi's father stated even more firmly, "You must study abroad. Even if you don't acknowledge us as your parents today, there's no room for discussion about studying abroad. We understand very well that this is all for your own good. When you grow up and understand things, you'll be grateful for all the choices we've made for you today. We know your personality too well; only we can plan a good future for you!"

Yang Sisi trembled with anger, then showed signs of losing her temper. She stood up and looked at her parents, saying, "What kind of personality do I have? Tell me, what kind of personality do I have? Heh, do you think it's right for me to live as a docile girl who listens to you in everything? Well, let me tell you now, I will never live the way you want me to, because deep down I'm a promiscuous woman."

At this point, Yang Sisi suddenly turned to look at me, and a sense of foreboding immediately welled up in my heart.

Sure enough, Yang Sisi pointed at me and said, "Did you see him? He's the guy Uncle Huang arranged for me to travel with. We had sex on the second day of the trip, and I might even be pregnant with his child now. I've made up my mind. I have to stay in Dali. I just want to find someone as easygoing as me and live an easy life. Do you still think you know me so well?"

After Yang Sisi finished speaking, she kept her gaze fixed on me, and the already cold atmosphere at the table became even colder.
