But as Lu Chaoxi said.
Lu Yibei was an "accident" that should never have appeared in the world, and she also admitted that she was an irresponsible and unqualified mother.
She chose her own life and her husband's life.
In her future plans, she only reserved a very small space for her son.
—It's your own future to decide.
Cruel and cold-blooded.
When Lu Chaoxi was young, she also stood at a crossroads in her life.
Faced with a confrontation with her father, Lu Ming, she chose the path she should take and created her own future through her own efforts.
But things are different north of the Lu River.
He was forced to choose this path.
While Ji Qingqian remained silent, Lu Chaoxi asked calmly:
So, did you understand?
Ji Qingqian nodded.
Lu Chaoxi hummed in agreement: "Good. I can tell you don't like me, and that's normal. As long as you like Lu Yibei, that's fine."
After listening to Lu Chaoxi's explanation, Ji Qingqian was somewhat dazed, and she simply said "Oh".
At the same time, I remembered what Abei had said.
"My mom only likes one thing."
"My dad."
"Most of the time, I don't feel that she likes me."
She initially thought it was something her husband, Ah Bei, was saying to comfort her.
Unexpectedly, the truth was bloody.
“…………I have another question,” Ji Qingqian said.
Perhaps seeing that the girl was listening attentively and hadn't interrupted, Lu Chaoxi's tone softened slightly:
"Ask away."
"If that's the case, why are you using the choice of university as an excuse?"
If you're being selfish, you should just tell Ah Bei your thoughts directly.
Lu Chaoxi was unusually speechless.
…
Lu Yibei rested his chin on his hand, looking back with a bored expression.
She stretched lazily again.
He still hadn't seen Ms. Lu and Lady Ji return—no, what were they talking about so enthusiastically?
Lu Yibei rested his chin on his hand in boredom, while tapping the table listlessly with his other hand.
It seems like he hasn't seen Ms. Lu for more than half a year... She looks a bit thinner. Is she eating properly? He'll have Brother Xian talk to her about it later.
"Xian Ge" refers to Lu Yibei's elderly father.
He's currently abroad and rarely comes back, almost even less so than Xu Che.
Two years ago, Lu Yibei celebrated his eighteenth birthday. After finishing the college entrance examination, he filled out his college application and was about to enter university that summer.
His elderly father came to talk to him, his tone listless and bored:
"Hey Lu Yibei—"
“Mani Muxian”.
Does the university you attend determine which one you go to?
"Jiangda, I guess."
"Your mother and I have discussed it and decided that we should still let you go abroad."
"—Huh? Where? I just finished scolding Xu Che..."
"New Delhi."
"Where is New Delhi... Let me think... Damn! Xu Che at least went to Los Angeles! LA! Am I supposed to go drink water from the Ganges?? Are you crazy?!"
Then it's just arguing, negotiating, arguing again, and negotiating again.
Until Ms. Lu joined the fray, it all boiled down to one sentence:
"If you don't want to go, then get out. Figure out your own tuition and living expenses."
"Fine, get out! Do you really think I can't live without you guys?!"
Looking back now, it all seems so strange and bizarre.
Before this, his family had never talked to him about going abroad.
After that, Xian Ge's work became even busier—Lu Yibei didn't go abroad, and his elderly father hadn't returned to China much…
Lu Yibei therefore made this inference.
It's all a fucking setup—no, it should be said, it's all a fucking setup.
The purpose was to cut off his living expenses so that he would have to support himself.
As for why he did this... Lu Yibei understood after seeing the changes in Xian Ge's work status.
In fact, Lu Yibei had long figured out why his mother had set up this scheme.
In fact, Ms. Lu didn't need to overthink it at all. She could have just sat down and talked to Lu Yibei if she had been willing.
Lu Yibei will also wholeheartedly support his elderly father in pursuing the work he loves.
—A comrade in his forties is at the age where he should go out and explore.
Besides, he also believed in his brother Xian's abilities.
—Lu Yibei still somewhat wants to be a rich second-generation.
But as a son, all you have to do is give up, while as parents, you have to consider many things.
What about the responsibilities of being a parent?
What about the children's future?
--These.
You have to give up something to gain something. Lu Yibei was willing to give up his father and his dream of becoming a rich second generation.
As for Ms. Lu, she certainly understands Lu Yibei's thoughts.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the tacit understanding between mother and son; Lu Yibei felt that he and his mother simply didn't have that kind of understanding.
If, as a top lawyer, she can't even see through the thoughts of a little kid, then her career will be in trouble.
Even so, Ms. Lu still chose to have a big argument with Lu Yibei.
There are two reasons. First, as a lawyer, arguing may be an occupational hazard for Ms. Lu.
The second reason is negligible and insignificant.
—Even Lu Yibei hadn't considered this second reason.
—It was at Qingqian's house that night, when he was drinking with Uncle Ji, that he had some insights after chatting with him and listening to his thoughts as a parent.
It might be because...
If they sit down and have a proper talk, Lu Yibei will say he's willing to give up something.
Ms. Lu might not be able to bear to part with it.
The hardest part of this decision was not Lu Yibei, but rather the hurdle that Ms. Lu Chaoxi had to overcome in convincing herself.
"...However, in the end she chose to cruelly throw me out and let Xian-ge do what he wanted. Sure enough, in her heart, her son is still not as good as her husband." Lu Yibei sighed.
He glanced to the other side.
It's finally out.
However, Lu Chaoxi's expression was slightly unpleasant.
Lu Yibei: "...What's wrong?"
Ji Qingqian was about to speak.
Lu Chaoxi glanced at her, and she shut up.
Lu Yibei: ...?
