“It’s just self-deception,” Mo Yan said, squeezing her eyes and letting a few tears fall. “To be honest, I can’t stop my son either. When he was little, I could whip him to make him listen to me, but now he’s all grown up, how could I possibly beat him?”

Dr. Fang: "???" You're okay!

Fang's parents listened and agreed, realizing that they couldn't beat their son now either.

"No, that's not right. How can you solve problems by fighting? You should use the facts to tell him that this behavior is unacceptable. You should reason with him."

They also wanted to reason with their son.

"I'm sorry, I really can't reason with him. I've told him many times that this is wrong. He should find a girlfriend, get married, and have children. That's what our parents want."

The two nodded repeatedly. Yes, that's right, that's exactly it. They didn't have high expectations; they just hoped their son could be normal, find a girl to marry and have children. Why did things have to turn out like this? If people heard about it and spread it around, it would sound awful.

"Yes, yes, you know all this, so why don't you care? You should know that if others find out about these things, what will they think of us and what will they think of our family? There will definitely be gossip outside, and those rumors will be enough to drown them."

We are parents too, and we want them to be well, but some things aren't so simple. Living in this society means we can't ignore other things.

They didn't understand why Mo Yan knew this but didn't stop it.

"But they are not children anymore."

Mo Yan looked at the two elderly people in front of her, "They are no longer children. At such an old age, they know what path they want to take."

If he were to find another girl to marry and have children for our sake, would that be fair to that girl? If he doesn't like someone, he simply doesn't like them. No matter how well he pretends, the girl will sense it. How heartbroken and angry she would be when she finds out the truth!

We are parents too. If our daughter were deceived like this, wouldn't we want to kill her?

We've reached this point in our lives, so what does it matter what others say? We can just turn a blind eye, deceive ourselves, and simply refuse to acknowledge it, can't we?

The same goes for them. If they hadn't known better and had insisted on making it public knowledge, then we could have cut ties with them and let them bear the gossip themselves. I believe that to this day, no one knows about these things because we didn't want to ruin their futures.

The two elderly people remained silent. The reason they didn't escalate the matter was because they didn't want their son's career to be ruined.

But they felt upset and aggrieved.

The two elderly people looked at Dr. Fang, at their son whom they had always been so proud of.

“When the two of us go out now, we always feel that people are looking at us with a scrutinizing gaze, and we always feel that someone is talking about us behind our backs. Even though there is no such thing, we still can't help but think that way because we can't accept it from the bottom of our hearts.”

We're just parents; we just want you to be okay.

They couldn't understand why their usually obedient son would do something so unconventional and unacceptable to them.

They just didn't understand why they had to find someone like that.

Dr. Fang remained silent, having run out of things to say. He had been talking for a very long time, and they had been at an impasse over this matter for about six months. Every conversation ended in discord, and they had even brought back many girls, hoping to arrange blind dates for them.

Just like Aunt Mo said, he doesn't like those girls. If he forces them, it would be a more disgusting kind of harm to them than a scumbag boyfriend.

"Mom and Dad, we've discussed this matter countless times. Today you said you wanted to see Auntie and Yu Yuan, and I think that's fine with you."

But I really can't let go. I've tried, but I just can't.

If they could let go, they wouldn't have suffered so much these past few years.

In the past few days, they had tried to separate, and since then they have both devoted all their time and energy to their work.

He was able to become a chief physician so quickly because of countless surgeries, countless papers, and countless days and nights of relentless work. Only by numbing himself with work could he forget those things.

He thought he could let go, he thought he could forget, but in the end he found that it was all just self-deception. He simply couldn't forget.

The two elderly people looked at their son and listened to his words, their hearts breaking. They wanted to slap him, but they couldn't bring themselves to do it.

"Knock knock knock..."

There was a knock on the door of the private room, and they thought the food was being served.

"Enter."

Yu Yuan arrived; he rushed in as fast as he could.

As soon as he entered, he rushed to Dr. Fang's side. Mo Yan slapped him and kicked him to the ground. The whole process was so fast that they almost didn't see Yu Yuan fall to the ground before they could even see him clearly. The two elderly people's hearts clenched when they saw it... How ruthless.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you showing off your love? Don't you know that showing off your love will lead to a quick breakup?"

I'm really disappointed in Yu Yuan. I've said I don't care who you like, but you have to give me some space so I can turn a blind eye, right?
