“I’m telling you, you’re just being too old-fashioned.”
At first, she couldn't accept it, but after thinking it over, she realized that this might be the best outcome for Xiao Ran.
Upon hearing that Qiu Yuru had returned, Xiao Shengrong said into the phone, "Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. You're all grown up now, you can't act without thinking things through."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
He sat down on the sofa with a sour face.
"Stop talking, all of that is nonsense."
To be honest, the two of them have been arguing about this for several days.
In other matters, Xiao Shengrong was never one to argue; he always did whatever Qiu Yuru told him to do.
But he simply couldn't do it!
Qiu Yuru didn't back down either, "I think what you're saying is twisted logic. Is it your heart that's complicated, or your relationships?"
After these past few days, she has finally figured it out completely.
What's complicated isn't relationships, but people's hearts.
Besides, it's just the two of them living their lives. As long as the children are doing well, that's enough. As for others, let them think what they want!
She doesn't care that other people have mouths.
Xiao Shengrong was so angry he was practically spitting out his nose. He glared at Qiu Yuru, his voice rising three octaves.
How could you say such a thing? Do you want to see your son misunderstood and looked down upon for the rest of his life?
"I find you quite selfish. Think about what else you can do for your son now?"
"Find him a wife?"
"Or can I protect him for the rest of my life?"
"Or, could you cook him three meals a day without fail?"
Xiao Shengrong looked indignant. "He's such a grown man, does he need me to do these things? I'm in my forties, and he's only in his twenties. How can I protect him?"
He's too old; he can't even hold a fight properly, let alone get into a fight.
She can no longer protect her son, let alone cook three meals a day for him. Even if she did cook for him, he would die one day. What would Xiao Ran do then?
"Fine, admit you're getting old. If you can't do anything for him, why can't you support him just this once?"
Qiu Yuru wasn't stupid; she knew that if this kind of thing got out, there would definitely be a lot of gossip.
But she wasn't afraid!
There are always new things happening under the sun. Who can live a lifetime without being talked about?
As long as it's not mentioned on your face, just pretend you don't know!
But if anyone dares to laugh at her son to his face, she will definitely go up and tear his mouth apart!
Even the King of Heaven himself can't do it!
Since there's nothing more I can do for him now, I'll do everything in my power to protect him one last time!
Xiao Shengrong admitted that although Qiu Yuru's words made some sense, that sense of reason was not enough to change his own conscience. Now that he was a parent himself, he understood the hardships his parents had endured, and he didn't want his elderly parents to be criticized behind their backs because of their grandson.
"Easier said than done. Do you think I care about my reputation? This isn't just one person's problem; it involves the whole family!"
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. Anyway, just one sentence: I absolutely support you!"
"you......"
