Xiao Quanrong didn't feel ashamed at all. He frowned and looked at Xiao Ru: "That's right, what's wrong with you making some sacrifices for your brother? It's just a loss of reputation. If your brother succeeds, will it give you confidence if you start a family in the future? If your brother is powerful, will anyone in your husband's family dare to bully you?"
Xiao Ru felt cold in her heart. She never thought that her father would gamble her lifelong happiness. "Does my mother know about this?"
Xiao Quanrong nodded: "Of course I know. If your mother didn't know, would she agree to you and Lu Changfeng being together?"
Xiao Ru felt like there was an egg stuck in her throat, making it difficult to swallow. The air around her became thinner, and every breath was painful and suffocating.
After taking a deep breath for a while, he glared at his father: "So, you planned it from the beginning. You knew that I looked like Zhou Chaoyang, so you deliberately arranged for me to meet Lu Changfeng. You know I like this type of man. Then I fell into your trap little by little?"
Xiao Quanrong frowned: "Why do you have to speak so harshly? How can it be a trap? Lu Changfeng is indeed a good young man. If you can become a couple with him, I will definitely help him in his career in the future. And as long as you have a child, what does Zhou Chaoyang matter?"
"Besides, didn't you agree to give Lu Changfeng medicine? Where are those medicines? Why didn't you give them to him later?"
Xiao Ru's mind was in a mess. She could not imagine that her parents could be so absurd for her brother's future. She originally thought that it was just because her parents doted on her and would give in to her as long as she liked.
Who could have imagined that there was such a huge conspiracy behind this.
After his heart turned cold, he began to rebel: "I don't want to. If this is the case, I will go and explain to Lu Changfeng that I cannot help the evildoer. Also, is there any problem with Lu Changfeng's brain surgery? Did you do anything about it?"
Xiao Quanrong glared at his daughter, not feeling that there was anything wrong with his behavior. Instead, he lectured her: "Think about it carefully. Have your mother and I treated you well? It was hard to go to the countryside, so I tried to get you a university quota and recommended you to study medicine. After you came back, did I also arrange a job for you? You also know what your friends around you have experienced over the years."
"Have your mother and I ever made you suffer a little? Now that we asked you to help the family, you are so resentful. If the family is doing well, won't it be good for you? You use such an aggressive tone to deal with me. Have you ever thought about how you make a living?"
"You are old enough now, you should be able to understand a lot of things, the mutual use and entanglement of interests, and you should also understand what it means to rise together and suffer together. You still want to tell Lu Changfeng, aren't you afraid that you will lose everything?"
"If something happens to your brother and I, do you think you can still be a doctor safely? You are not a child. You should be very clear about the interests involved."
Xiao Ru was speechless after hearing what her father said. To be fair, her parents had been very good to her over the years. She was originally supposed to go to the countryside, but ended up getting the admission letter and going to university.
Moreover, she was admitted to this university by squeezing out someone else's place. At that time, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, she went to school with peace of mind.
I even feel that it is right for those who are more capable to come first.
Seeing Xiao Ru was silent, Xiao Quanrong said accusingly, "You are a member of the Xiao family. You should also consider the overall situation when doing things. If you think that your mother and I have hurt you by doing this, then think about it carefully. Apart from this matter, have we treated you unfairly in other matters?"
The last bit of persistence on Xiao Ru's face was slowly melting away, but she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Xiao Quanrong glanced at her and said, "Think about it carefully. If your brother is ruined, Lu Changfeng will not want you, and you and our family will be finished."
…
After dinner, Song Xiuyan sent Zhong Yuan home first, and Zhou Chaoyang stayed to help wash the dishes.
Lu Changfeng had no intention of leaving. He sat in the living room, not talking to Zhou Shixun, but looking at An An and Zhou Zhou.
An An was eating an apple. Seeing that the uncle was staring at her, she handed the rotten apple to Lu Changfeng: "Uncle, do you want an apple?"
Lu Changfeng shook his head: "No, you eat it yourself."
An An nodded, opened her little mouth and took a bite, while chewing she tilted her head to look at Lu Changfeng. This uncle was still staring at her, and her little brain couldn't figure out why, so she simply ran two steps in front of Lu Changfeng, stretched out her sticky and dirty little hand and pressed it on Lu Changfeng's leg: "Uncle, do you want to eat the apple? It's so sweet."
She felt that her uncle was staring at her and must want to eat her apple, but she was too embarrassed to say it.
Lu Changfeng shook his head again and lowered his eyes to look at the dirty little hands on his knees. Some blurry images kept flashing through his mind, as if there were children too. The images flashed too fast, and he was not sure who the children were, but he felt that everyone in the images was very happy.
When he tried to think further, he felt a sharp pain in his head, which prevented him from thinking any further.
Zhou Chaoyang came out of the kitchen and saw Lu Changfeng still sitting on the sofa. He frowned and walked over to him: "Why don't you leave?"
Lu Changfeng stood up reflexively: "I'll take you back."
Zhou Chaoyang glanced at him, picked up his coat without saying a word, then said hello to Zhou Shixun, Sheng Anning and the others, and walked out without looking back.
Lu Changfeng also hurriedly chased after him.
Zhou Chaoyang pushed her bicycle forward in no hurry. Lu Changfeng caught up with her in a few steps and walked silently beside her.
The two of them didn't say a word until they left the family compound.
Zhou Chaoyang couldn't hold back any longer: "What do you want to say?"
Lu Changfeng was a little embarrassed. He had many questions in his mind and had always wanted to find Zhou Chaoyang to ask them clearly. But after seeing Zhou Chaoyang, he couldn't say a word.
Zhou Chaoyang simply stopped his bicycle, turned around and stared at him, seemingly waiting patiently for him to speak.
Lu Changfeng was silent for a while: "How did we meet? Why did we get married? Later, later... have you been waiting for me?"
From Zhou Hongyun's nagging and Song Xiuyan's sarcasm, he pieced together that Zhou Chaoyang had been waiting for him for a long time and that life alone in the past two years had not been easy.
Zhou Chaoyang didn't expect that he would ask this after holding it in all night, so he glared at him and said, "I took you home to get married, and you didn't want to, but my dad forced you to agree. So it's good that you have lost your memory now, just pretend these things never happened."
After saying that, he pushed the bike away angrily. Lu Changfeng instinctively pulled the handlebars and whispered, "Chaoyang..."
