Chapter 126 I Just Want to Help You
After Xu Yao sent away her "kind-hearted" third sister, she felt as if a stone was pressing on her heart, heavy.
This stone is half daughter and half business.
The daughter was instigated by her third sister to go against her. The rebelliousness of adolescence mixed with the resentment of being provoked made her a walking bomb that could explode at any time.
As for the business, it has also reached a critical period of transformation. If you are not careful, you may lose everything.
She slumped dejectedly on the sofa in Xue Han's house, her body sinking deeply into the soft cushion, but she didn't feel a bit of relaxation.
The room was filled with the aroma of food, which Xue Han had made specially for her.
He knew that she had fought for three hundred rounds with her third sister today and must be exhausted both physically and mentally.
But at this moment, the fragrance was like a thin needle, gently teasing her tense nerves and making her even more irritated.
Was she too focused on business and neglecting her daughter's feelings?
Was it because I didn’t spend enough time with my daughter that she was easily captured by the third sister’s sugar-coated bullets?
She tried desperately to find a balance between career and family, but felt like a tightrope walker, teetering on the edge of collapse.
Xue Han came out of the kitchen carrying two bowls of steaming noodles. Seeing Xu Yao with a frown on her face and a worried look on her face, he sat down beside her with a distressed look on his face.
He gently held her hand, his broad, warm big hand wrapped around her slightly cool little hand, like a warm current slowly flowing into her heart.
"Yaoyao, don't worry too much. Let's work together to find a way. We will definitely be able to balance our daughter and our career." Xue Han's voice was low and powerful, carrying a reassuring strength.
Xu Yao raised her head and looked at Xue Han's determined eyes, and her heart gradually calmed down.
Yes, she is not fighting alone, she has Xue Han and her family who love her.
She took a deep breath and made up her mind to spend more time with her daughter while not delaying her business.
She wants to be like a female warrior, overcoming all obstacles and protecting her own happiness.
In the evening, Xu Yao returned home and gently opened her daughter's door.
My daughter was lying on the bed with a notebook in her hand, writing something.
Hearing the door open, she raised her head suddenly, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and then she quickly closed the notebook.
Xu Yao walked to the bedside and gently asked her daughter: "Baby, are you sad about what happened at school today? Can you tell me what you think?"
The daughter hesitated, bit her lip, and said nothing.
Xu Yao sat down beside her and gently put his arm around her shoulders.
"Mom knows that you love her very much, and I also know that you feel aggrieved. You don't want to see Mom working so hard, and you want to help Mom share some of the pressure, right?"
My daughter's eyes were red and tears were welling up in them. She sniffed and nodded.
"Mom understands your feelings and thanks for thinking about her. However, your most important task now is to study. Only by studying hard can you have more choices in the future, help her better, and protect yourself from being easily deceived and used by others."
The daughter finally couldn't hold back her tears and she threw herself into Xu Yao's arms, hugging her tightly, like a frightened little bird that finally found a safe harbor.
"Mom, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have listened to my third aunt. I shouldn't have gone against you. I just... I just wanted to help you..." the daughter said intermittently.
Xu Yao gently patted her daughter's back and said softly: "Mom knows, Mom understands everything. We will face difficulties together in the future, and you just need to study with peace of mind. Mom will work hard to do a good job in business, and will also spare more time to accompany you."
The daughter raised her head from Xu Yao's arms, wiped her tears, looked into Xu Yao's eyes, and said seriously: "Mom, I will study hard in the future and never let you worry about me again."
Xu Yao smiled and hugged her daughter tightly, her heart filled with warmth and hope.
She knew that as long as they worked together as mother and daughter, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and move towards a better future together.
Suddenly, the daughter seemed to remember something, jumped off the bed, ran to the desk, picked up the notebook and handed it to Xu Yao.
"Mom, this is the letter I wrote to you. I wanted to give it to you tomorrow..."
Xu Yao took the notebook and opened the first page, only to see a few words written on it:
"Mom, I want to discuss something with you..."
Xu Yao opened her daughter's notebook, and the beautiful handwriting came into view, flowing slowly like a stream, telling her daughter's thoughts.
My daughter wants to set aside a fixed time every week to do some “little secrets between girls” with Xu Yao.
See a movie?
shop?
Do a manicure?
Baking desserts?
The little girl's suggestions were varied. As she read, Xu Yao couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, as if she had returned to her girlhood, those carefree times, shining with dazzling light.
"Mom, what do you think? Do you think it's okay?" The daughter carefully observed Xu Yao's expression, fearing that she would be rejected.
Those big watery eyes, as innocent as a little deer, melted Xu Yao's heart.
"Of course, my dear daughter!" Xu Yao hugged her daughter and kissed her soft hair. "Mom also hopes to spend more time with you and do some happy things together."
After receiving Xu Yao's affirmative answer, a brilliant smile broke out on her daughter's face, as bright as the sunshine, dispelling the gloom that had been in Xu Yao's heart for many days.
She took Xu Yao's hand and enthusiastically discussed the arrangements for next week.
Should you go see the latest romantic movie or go on a shopping spree at the mall in the city center?
Or, go to that internet-famous dessert shop and learn how to make exquisite cakes and cookies?
The mother and daughter chatted with each other, the room was filled with laughter, and a warm atmosphere permeated the air.
At this moment, Xu Yao felt like she owned the whole world, and all her worries and pressures disappeared.
However, while she was happy, Xu Yao also began to think about how to balance her career and the time she would spend with her daughter.
Business transformation is at a critical stage. There are countless things to deal with every day, and a single mistake could lead to a complete failure.
She must find a way to have the best of both worlds, balancing career development while giving her daughter enough company.
"Baby, Mommy will set aside a fixed time every week to accompany you, but we need to adjust the specific schedule according to the actual situation, okay?" Xu Yao said to her daughter gently, "After all, Mommy also has to work to earn money to support the family and buy you beautiful clothes and delicious snacks, right?"
The daughter nodded sensibly, "Mom, I understand. Don't worry, I won't interfere with your work. I will be obedient, study hard, and try to get into a good university so that I can better honor you and dad in the future."
Hearing her daughter's words, Xu Yao felt both touched and relieved.
She knew that her daughter had grown up and began to understand her hard work and dedication.
This made her more determined to balance her career and family.
In the next few days, Xu Yao began to make a detailed plan.
She rearranged her work schedule, delegated some non-urgent tasks to her assistants, and tried to spend more time with her daughter.
She also discussed with Xue Han, hoping that he could share some of the housework and responsibilities of taking care of their daughter.
Xue Han agreed without hesitation and expressed his full support for her decision.
Everything seems to be moving in a good direction, and the relationship between mother and daughter is becoming more harmonious.
However, Xu Yao always felt a little uneasy.
Her daughter's transformation came so suddenly that she found it hard to believe.
She didn't know how long this harmonious state could last, nor did she know whether her daughter had really let go of her resentment.
More importantly, business transformation is a complicated task, and she is worried that she will delay her career development because of accompanying her daughter.
She had to complete all the preparations within a limited time to ensure a smooth transformation of the business.
That night, Xu Yao and her daughter watched a movie together. After returning home, her daughter suddenly said, "Mom, my classmate's birthday is coming soon, and I want to give her a special gift..."
