Chapter 147 Quarrel
At this time, Father Chen slammed the table and raised his voice: "What do you mean you can't influence them? They are still young and can't tell right from wrong. As parents, we have to pull them back on track and can't let them do whatever they want!"
Lin Jianyan frowned slightly, but still tried to respond calmly: "Uncle, I understand that you want to do good for the child, but forcibly interfering may backfire. We can slowly guide them and let them look at this relationship more rationally, instead of just killing it with one blow."
Zhang Xiufang also nodded and said, "Yes, there's no point in being anxious about the children's affairs."
Father Chen suddenly remembered that Lin Jianyan was engaged to the big boss of the Qin family, and their family must be very accepting of this relationship.
How can we talk about this?
Father Chen wanted to say something but stopped, and finally sighed deeply, "Mr. Lin, you have the Qin family to protect you, so of course you are not afraid of anything, but our family is not that capable."
"If this really happens, how will our relatives and neighbors look at us? How will outsiders look at us? Life is not a place where you can just ignore everything."
Lin Jianyan opened his mouth and wanted to say something. But what Father Chen said was right. If it weren't for Qin Wu, he might never be with anyone in his life.
In this relationship, Qin Wu was under greater pressure and also shielded him from all the rumors. He was trying his best to declare his love to the world, so he thought the relationship between the two of them was progressing so smoothly.
The air was silent for a moment. Just as Lin Jianyan organized his words and was about to open his mouth to persuade, he heard a noisy sound coming from outside.
Lin Jinyan frowned slightly, interrupted by the sudden noise. Everyone in the room looked outside, and Lin Jinyan looked up at the door, "What's going on?"
Zhao Dalong pushed the door open and walked in. "Brother, your brother and a stranger wanted to come in, but they were stopped by Ajun and Aliang."
Before anyone in the room could react, two voices shouted from outside:
"Brother! Let me in!"
"Dad, Mom! Stop talking nonsense! I will never separate from Ah Hao!"
Ah Hao and the kid from the Chen family, why are they here?
Lin Jianyan was slightly stunned, glanced at Chen's parents who stood up in panic, and sighed imperceptibly, "Let them in."
With Lin Jianyan's order, the people who were blocking outside stopped trying. The door was pushed open, and Lin Jiahao and Chen Xiaohui rushed in like a gust of wind, their hair a little messy and their eyes full of anxiety.
This was the first time Lin Jianyan saw the boy that Lin Jiahao liked, and he was as handsome as she had imagined.
Her messy hair was casually scattered in front of her forehead, but it did not hide her delicate eyebrows and eyes, which were bright and lively. She was tall but not thin. She wore a simple white shirt and black jeans, which made her look youthful and energetic.
When Chen's father and mother saw Chen Xiaohui, they directly grabbed his hand and pulled him to their side.
There was anger in Mr. Chen's eyes, but deep inside was a trace of guilt that was barely noticeable. "What are you doing here? You are skipping class, don't you know? Go back to class, you have nothing to do here!"
Chen Xiaohui shook off his hand and ran back to Lin Jiahao. He stood there, his bright eyes burning with anger, staring at his parents, "I won't leave! I told you not to come to see Ah Hao's parents, you clearly promised me, you didn't keep your word!"
Chen's mother scolded him lightly: "Xiaohui, don't talk to your father like that."
"We are doing this for your own good. You are still young. If we, your parents, were not there to protect you from the wind and rain, do you know how complicated this society would be?"
"You have never suffered any hardship or injustice since childhood. If you embark on this path, do you know how much pressure you will have to bear? We do this for your future." Chen's mother advised earnestly, her eyes full of helplessness and anxiety.
Chen Xiaohui was so angry that his eyes turned red. "For my own good? You have arranged everything for me since I was a child. I have no choice at all! You always think that your decisions are right, but you don't understand what I really want!"
"I like swimming but you won't let me. I want to learn boxing but you won't let me. I want to go out and play ball with my friends but you won't let me either, saying it's easy to get bumped."
"Am I a porcelain doll? Can I die if I bump into something? I am a person, not a puppet. I also want to do things according to my own wishes! Instead of doing everything according to your wishes and what you think is right!"
Chen's parents did not expect that Chen Xiaohui had so much resentment towards them in his heart. They were greatly shocked for a while. Chen's mother's lips trembled slightly and her eyes gradually turned red. She never thought that her painstaking care for her had become a restraint in her son's eyes. She was filled with grievances and sadness.
"Xiaohui, we...we were really afraid that you would get hurt. You have been the apple of our eyes since you were a child. We held you in our hands for fear that you would drop, and held you in our mouths for fear that you would melt. We thought that doing so was the best for you, but who knew...who knew that you actually thought this way in your heart." Mother Chen said in a crying voice, her voice full of sadness and devastation.
Lin Jiahao gently held Chen Xiaohui in his arms, giving him silent comfort, then raised his head and said to Chen's mother: "Auntie, I know you are worried that Xiaohui will face many difficulties when he is with me, but I love him, so I will do my best to protect him and will not let him get hurt."
"We are not children anymore. We know what we are doing. We will not regret it even if we separate in the future because this is our choice now."
Chen's father and mother looked at the two of them hugging each other, as if they were a pair of miserable ducks, and they were the evildoers who beat the ducks. All of a sudden, all their strength was drained away, and their faces looked much more tired.
Lin Jiahao felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Chen Xiaohui's parents like this. He patted Chen Xiaohui on the back gently and signaled him to say something soothing.
Chen Xiaohui bit his lip. Although he was still angry, he softened his tone when he saw his parents were so sad. "I know you love me, but you can't always treat me like a child. I also need space to grow and the opportunity to do what I like."
Lin Jianyan poked Zhang Xiufang at the side, indicating that she could go on stage.
Zhang Xiufang understood what she meant. With a gentle smile on her face, she stepped forward and took Chen's mother's hand. "Sister, I know you must be feeling bad right now. As a parent, you all love your child. You do this out of love for your child. But the child is grown up and has his own ideas. We have to try to understand them slowly."
