"So you knew it a long time ago?" Liu Ruoxue walked back and stared at Xia Jingsong with narrowed eyes.
Xia Jingsong shrugged, agreeing with what Liu Ruoxue said.
Maybe Xia Ruoming learned this habit from Xia Jingsong.
"Since my daughter likes it so much, as a parent we have to help her. Even if this path is wrong, she has to fall down before she knows it's wrong." Seeing Liu Ruoxue's angry expression, Xia Jingsong's face remained calm. "Besides, my daughter's love for women is natural. Haven't you seen scientific research that says that if my daughter is not bisexual, she will never like men in her life."
"Okay, Xia Jingsong, you have known this for so long, but you have been hiding it from me?" Liu Ruoxue asked, suppressing her anger.
"What if I told you?" Xia Jingsong was clearly on Xia Ruoming's side, and his tone towards Liu Ruoxue was no longer as friendly as usual. "Even if I told you, tell me from your heart, Ruoxue, do you dare to stop your daughter?"
"Haven't you always wanted your daughter to be a successful woman? Now that there's finally an opportunity, and your daughter has the chance to go to a key high school that you never dared to think about for other reasons, would you dare to tell your daughter at that time that your mother doesn't approve of your love, and to give up as soon as possible, or get out of this family if you don't give up?"
"Yes, she didn't have the ability to resist you at that time. I believe she would definitely accept your choice."
"But Ruoxue, you know in your heart that if you do this, your daughter's future will be ruined. You know my daughter's character better than I do. If you do this before the high school entrance examination, she will just give up on herself and become a rotten beast. Did you really not know at that time? You were just lying to yourself. In the final analysis, you were not doing this for your daughter. You were just selfish."
"You are simply imposing your life's creed, your unfulfilled dreams and regrets on your daughter. Then you keep saying that you are doing it for her own good and criticize those parents who interfere with their children's choices, especially those that you think are unimportant."
Liu Ruoxue stared at Xia Jingsong in disbelief for a long time, then finally closed her eyes and turned around silently.
"Xia Jingsong, if you say one more word to help her, you will take her away from this house." Liu Ruoxue said faintly, "You are very capable, so take her with you to accomplish what she wants to do."
After saying that, Liu Ruoxue walked towards her bedroom again. This time, she was like a deflated balloon, no longer having her former spirit.
"Liu Qingyun." Xia Jingsong's voice sounded behind him at the right time.
"What did you say?" Liu Ruoxue was immersed in her own sadness and did not hear clearly what Xia Jingsong said, so she turned around and asked.
"Liu Qingyun, do you still remember?" Xia Jingsong continued.
"My sister, what's wrong? What does this have to do with her?" Liu Ruoxue's stiff expression changed a little. "If you want to use this to convince me, you are totally wrong. Didn't my sister who likes women still marry a man in the end? What's the point of being born to like daughters? This proves that what I said is right."
Xia Jingsong looked out the window and suddenly sighed, as if something was suddenly blocked in his nose.
He didn't want to move out Liu Qingyun, because before Liu Qingyun died, she didn't let Xia Jingsong tell her sister about it. This was her own choice, and she didn't want to make her sister sad. The Ye family respected Liu Qingyun's last wish and didn't hold any funeral. They just buried her quietly where she wanted. At that time, Ye Nianqiu, the third son of the Ye family, did not remarry at that time. Xia Jingsong also swore in front of Liu Qingyun's grave that he would never reveal the news that Liu Qingyun had passed away.
But seeing Liu Ruoxue's heart as cold as stone, Xia Jingsong could only move out this sister-in-law who had passed away several years ago. He really supported his daughter's choice from the bottom of his heart, but he also didn't want to see his daughter and his wife fall out.
"Liu Qingyun has passed away. Didn't you always think you did the right thing? Do you still think so now, Ruoxue? She is your biological sister." Xia Jingsong calmed himself down several times before he could say this in a relatively normal tone, "She is no longer in this world. Do you want your daughter to follow her path again?"
"You said it before, if you hadn't seen the child you gave birth to and held in your arms, you would have felt that this daughter was more like Liu Qingyun's child than yours."
"She looks like Liu Qingyun in every way, including her personality. Seeing her is like seeing Liu Qingyun when he was young."
Liu Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, and then there was a sound of something shattering in the living room - that was the sound of the water cup in Liu Ruoxue's hand falling to the ground.
"When did that happen?" Although her face remained calm, her trembling lips betrayed her inner thoughts.
"When Xia Ruoming was twelve years old," Xia Jingsong said softly, his tone filled with sadness. "Do you still remember what she said at that time, 'Ruoming is really like me. With Ruoming accompanying her sister, I can rest assured.' She was really relieved and no longer had to worry."
"You won, Liu Ruoxue, you and your sister proved that you were right, but was it all worth it?"
"Ruoxue, look me in the eye and answer me. Are you happy to hear this news? If the person receiving this news was your daughter, would you still be as happy?"
"How did Qingyun die..." Liu Ruoxue asked Xia Jingsong in a low voice as if she had lost her soul.
She never imagined that her lively and lovely sister in her youth was no longer alive, but lying in a cold tomb. The girl who loved the warmth of the sun could no longer see the sun.
"She committed suicide because of depression, and not just once. It was the second time that she succeeded. But that's what the doctor said. She had other reasons for committing suicide, and I think you know that."
"Is that so..." Liu Ruoxue continued to mutter to herself, as if she could no longer hear the sounds around her.
"Yes, when I first went to the hospital to see her, she looked at me with a smile that was uglier than crying, and told me that if I cut my wrists in the future, I must not cut them horizontally, because it would be painful and I would not die, and if I survived, I would still suffer in the world." Xia Jingsong also showed the "smile" he mentioned. "The second time, she listened to her sister and learned from her mistakes at all times, so she succeeded."
"Her suicide note said that she was no longer clean and could no longer stay with her sister."
"So if there is an afterlife, give her another chance to stay with her sister forever."
