Chapter 81 Father Qiao is very insightful
Under the neon lights, Gao Li nodded and shook his head.
[He is very controlling, but I don’t hate him.]
[Because I think he must like me very much and value me very much.]
No one wastes time on people or things that they don't value.
Lin Ying was stunned for a moment, and looked at Gao Li again with eyes full of pity.
She put her arm around Gao Li's shoulders and hugged her gently.
"As long as you like it and don't feel uncomfortable, that's fine. If one day you feel uncomfortable, tell me, don't keep it in your heart."
Gao Li smiled and nodded.
Judging from Lin Ying's hesitant expression, and Liang Mufan's casual complaint during her fourth reply to Jian Yi's message, "He's too controlling, isn't he? It's not like you haven't already told him, so why are you so worried?"
She had already realized at that time that the relationship between her and Jian Yi, which seemed harmonious to both of them, was somewhat unhealthy in the eyes of others.
She understood that Lin Ying was just concerned about her.
but……
The scene of a family of three chatting and laughing as they passed by each other triggered a flashback in Gao Li's memory.
The father who sacrificed himself, the mother who remarried, and she who was neglected.
Jian Yi sent her messages from time to time to confirm, perhaps because he felt insecure, but she really needed this abnormal attention.
His strong possessiveness, his jealousy, and the messages he sent from time to time all proved with actions and facts that she must occupy a very important position in Jian Yi's life.
Gao Li felt that she was important through these actions.
When she sees a message, she will reply without getting tired of it, giving Jian Yi enough sense of security.
Because during Jian Yi's growth process, he was the one who was abandoned.
Gao Li chuckled softly.
I have to admit, they are actually quite a good match.
Liang Mufan finally caught up with Lin Ying, but there was only a weekend in between.
Gao Li kept asking what happened, and Lin Ying told him a little shyly.
It turned out that something happened to Lin Ying's mother in the hospital over the weekend. It seemed that she had an argument with the old lady who was hospitalized next door.
Liang Mufan accompanied Lin Ying and helped her deal with many things. The most important thing was that when the situation was unclear, Liang Mufan stood firmly on Lin Ying's side.
He took good care of Lin Ying's mother, and he also told Lin Ying clearly what he was thinking.
He never felt that Lin Ying's mother was a burden, and was very grateful that she was still alive and well. He felt that it would be too high for him if both his parents were no longer alive.
Lin Ying's biggest concern was her mother. After getting over this hurdle, it became a natural thing under Liang Mufan's attack.
To celebrate this happy event, Gao Li decided to have a drink.
Before I could enjoy my drink, I received a notice from the Qiao family that old man Qiao had passed away.
With the pain of a hangover, Gao Li forced himself to stay awake and listen to the lawyer standing in the middle of the crowd reading the will.
She rubbed her head irritably.
It has nothing to do with her. I don’t know why she was notified to come. Maybe she was just acting as a stand-in.
After the will was read, the old lady exploded!
In the will, the property allocated to boys and girls was slightly different. Considering that the eldest and second daughters of the ex-wife each had three boys, the inheritance they received was naturally larger than that of the daughters born to Mrs. Qiao.
My aunt broke up with the Qiao family and did not come back from abroad at this time.
Qiao Ming didn't care, and he had his own plans for getting the points.
Uncle Qiao wasn't even born yet, so judging by his sons, their allocations were similar to the others, and the old man wasn't overly biased. Furthermore, he was still young, so he had plenty of opportunities in the future.
But Old Mrs. Qiao didn't want to. She tried hard to give birth to a son and stayed with the old man for decades just for money, but in the end she didn't get much.
In the eyes of Old Lady Qiao at this moment, Qiao Anhe and Gao Li were extremely annoying and became her punching bags.
Old Mrs. Qiao started cursing, probably calling them girls.
Qiao Anhe lowered his head and shed tears silently.
Gao Li rubbed his temples, his head exploding.
Qiao Ming stood in front of them, "Shut up! I just like daughters, what's wrong?! I don't even want a son!"
Uncle Qiao also stood up and said, "What you just said was too much!"
Number 13, who witnessed the whole farce, jumped up and down, "This uncle is okay."
Gao Li sighed.
——[That’s right. There’s a big age gap between Qiao Zha’s father and his uncle. Qiao Zha’s father is afraid that his uncle will be brainwashed and led astray by the old lady, so he tries to get him back on track from time to time.]
——[As he grew up, Uncle Qiao admired his older brother the most, so he was deeply influenced by his scumbag father.]
"Stop calling Qiao a scumbag dad. He's a good guy and has always been protecting you."
——[I didn't say he was bad, I just got used to it. And talking about how many girlfriends he has had so far, he's not a scumbag, but he's also a playboy.]
The noise was still in his ears, and Gao Li's head was throbbing with pain.
She quietly left and sat down on a lounge chair by the pool.
A cool breeze blew, and Gao Li sighed slightly.
The world is finally quiet.
She closed her eyes and quietly enjoyed every second of the silence.
Hearing some movement behind her, she fluttered her eyelashes and opened her eyes alertly, and what she saw was a bottle of lavender drink.
The drink was placed in a bag and swayed gently to squeeze out some bubbles.
Gao Li stared at the drink in a daze, feeling dazed for a moment.
It’s like returning to that cool afternoon.
The orange soda also swayed gently in the bag.
The man squatted down and said flatteringly, "Xiao Li, Daddy apologizes to you. I'm sorry, can you forgive Daddy?"
The little girl squatted on the ground, poking the ants on the ground with a branch, and turned her face away in grievance.
"I've forgiven you many times."
I had clearly made an appointment in advance to accompany her to play, but when the time came, I had to go on a mission. This has happened many times and the girl is very upset.
"Okay, it's all my fault. Can the generous Xiao Li forgive Daddy just once?"
The little girl was won over by a glass of cold soda and once again forgave her father for breaking his promise.
That was what she secretly thought, she was so easy to coax, and she would never forgive her father so easily next time.
But later, she never had the chance to forgive.
--[dad. ]
Gao Li subconsciously raised his face, and the illusion of memory shattered, it was Qiao Ming's face.
She lowered her head, hastily concealing the strangeness in her eyes.
Qiao Ming took out the drink, unscrewed the cap and handed it to her, "This is grape juice. It can relieve your hangover headache."
Gao Li took it and drank it silently.
There was silence between the two of them for a moment.
"I plan to divide the property I got into two parts, you and An He each get half."
Even if it is divided into two, it is still a huge amount of money.
What's more, Gao Li is not a member of the Qiao family, nor is she Qiao Ming's daughter.
She raised her eyes and shook her head, indicating that it was not necessary.
Qiao Ming looked at the ripples on the water surface caused by the wind.
"You take it."
"Compensation for you."
"I thought I would never have children in my life, but I ended up having two daughters."
Perhaps it was because of today's incident that the usually unfocused Qiao Ming felt a little sad.
Gao Li asked him.
[You don't like children, and I suddenly appeared. Don't you hate me?]
Qiao Ming was silent for a long time, and finally spoke his true feelings.
"I don't like it not because I hate children, but because I know I can't be a good father and I can't give my children a complete family life."
So whether it was Qiao Anhe, who was raised by his side, or Gao Li, who he suddenly found, he felt equally guilty. What made him feel even more guilty was that he still could not provide them with a complete and harmonious family in the future.
"You are an accident and a pleasant surprise."
Influenced by his mother, Qiao Ming decided not to get married or have children very early on.
He has had many girlfriends, but each one was a normal relationship with proper precautions. He will not love only one person in his life, and the person who stays with him will not always love him. Without the constraints of marriage, everyone can achieve a good breakup.
For the two children, it was an accident, but since they came to him, he would treat them well.
Before leaving, Qiao Ming rubbed Gao Li's head.
"If you've been wronged by Jian Yi, tell me."
Jian Yi would never let her suffer any injustice, but Gao Li was stunned by his father's concern and words.
If my father were still alive, would he say the same thing?
So this is what it feels like to have your dad by your side when you grow up. She really missed her dad so much that she actually saw her dad's shadow in Qiao Ming.
No. 13: "It seems that Qiao Ming is quite insightful and cool."
--[yes. ]
Due to her current status, Gao Li took over half of the property, but she left it there with no intention of using it.
No. 13 told her that the blind card task was finally cancelled. It was back to the original task of at least 5 kisses per week.
This task is quite simple for Gao Li now.
but……
——[No. 13, I kind of... don't want to go back.]
No. 13: “Huh?”
Gao Li lay on the sofa, rubbing his hair frantically, and was also very angry about why he had such thoughts.
——[Here I have Jian Yi, Lin Ying, Su Sang Wan, and the others, as well as Qiao’s scumbag dad. I have a lover, friends, and family.]
——[But in my world, none of these exist.]
——[I’m just too attached to the beauty of this place. When I think about going back and losing all of this and being alone again, I… don’t want to go back.]
No. 13 was anxious. It had actually just taken up the job and didn't have much experience. It didn't know how to deal with the host's thoughts.
"But……"
——[Your system has encountered so many book-traversers. Did every one of them return to the real world as you wished? Aren't there any cases where they stayed behind?]
"Well... everyone's situation is different."
Gao Li was depressed.
Some ideas cannot be formed, and once they are formed they become a thought.
Gao Li had nightmares for several nights in a row.
She always dreamed that she returned to the real world, all her friends disappeared, and she was the only one facing the rental house alone.
School started, and she returned to school. While others were in groups, she was alone, sitting in the front row, at her own table.
The feeling of loneliness seemed to come from a dream, and Gao Li woke up with a start.
She hugged Jian Yi tightly, using his warmth to dispel the suffocating feeling in her dream.
