Chapter 467: Feeling Ashamed of Her

Liao's mother carried Liao Jiayan's suitcase to the elevator door and waited with them for a while. "Yanyan, remember to let me know you're safe when you land."

"Don't worry, I'll message you as soon as I get off the plane." Liao Jiayan turned around and patted her mother's shoulder. When she raised her eyes, she inadvertently saw her father standing at the door, with only half of his body exposed, his hands behind his back, running out to watch the fun like a neighbor. After being discovered by Liao Jiayan, he turned around and went back into the house.

Liao Jiayan rarely spoke to her father on weekdays, and she was already used to his cold look, but she was quite surprised when she saw him come out just now.

Just then, the elevator door opened. Seeing Liao Jiayan suddenly froze, Liao's mother asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did you leave something behind?"

"No." Liao Jiayan forced a smile. After coming to her senses, she pushed the suitcases into the elevator one by one.

After all the luggage was loaded into the elevator, it was time for them to go downstairs.

"Keke, take good care of your sister."

Liao Jiake hummed softly, and as she was about to close the elevator door, she added, "Mom, I won't be coming over after I send Yanyan off. I can't spare the next two days for you guys to move, so I can't help much. The production crew will be at home soon to install the equipment, so I have to go back and entertain them."

"It's okay." Liao's mother nodded, showing her understanding: "If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Your father and I can handle it."

"Then I'll take Yanyan to catch the plane."

Liao's mother watched the elevator door close before turning back. Before she entered the door, she ran into the child's father.

"What are you doing standing here? You scared me..."

Father Liao raised his eyes to look outside and asked softly, "Gone?"

"She left early." Liao's mother entered the house and closed the door behind her. Then she began to complain to her husband: "You are such a fool. What's wrong with just sending her off openly? Why do you have to hide here and peek? It's okay that you ignored your daughter before, but now she's married. You should at least pay some attention to her."

After hearing this, Liao's father immediately denied it: "Who peeked... That heartless little thing didn't even treat me as her dad. I raised her so much, and I didn't even want to give her a penny of the money I earned."

“…”

On the way, Liao Jiake tried to find an opportunity to chat with Liao Jiayan.

"Yanyan, what time is your flight?"

"Five o'clock."

"About what time will you arrive? Have you told Xiao Gao?"

Liao Jiayan tilted her head to look at her and said bluntly, "Actually, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

She was silent for a long time, and finally laughed awkwardly: "I don't know what to say, I just feel guilty about you."

Liao Jiayan asked indifferently, "So?"

"..." Liao Jiake didn't know where to start, nor did she know when their relationship began to fade. After not going out to work for a year, Liao Jiake felt that her emotions had become very sensitive. She was always afraid of this and that, and even she herself couldn't figure out where this invisible anxiety came from.

Perhaps she had done too many things in the past that ruined her popularity, and she was afraid that she would lose her commercial value, lose her job, be disliked by her parents, and be looked down upon by her in-laws.

"I know this job is very important to you. Because of it, your parents consider you the pillar of the family... I should be secretly happy to have a smart and capable sister like you, but as soon as your aura of excellence appears, all my efforts seem like empty clouds in the eyes of outsiders."

Liao Jiayan had thought about contributing to the family before, but when she felt that everyone in the family was revolving around her sister, she often felt discouraged. Coupled with her parents' criticism of her, she began to take a rebellious approach.

She chuckled softly: "Mom and Dad always say that I'm selfish and not as generous as you. Do you feel the same way?"

Liao Jiake didn't know how to respond after hearing this, so she pretended to be driving seriously and was not in a position to speak.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Liao Jiayan continued, "Do you think I don't want to share your burden? I know it's not easy for you to make money and pay off your debts alone. I actually planned to pay off Dad's debts before, but I couldn't bear to see him treat this as a task and ask me to repay one of his debts after I was able to earn money."
