Back home, Shen Yulin and Jia Qinghua were sitting at the dining table eating quietly.
Jia Xinyue glanced at the dining table casually and noticed that her bowl was placed on it.
She walked over slowly, scooped a bowl of rice, and then sat down.
Jia Qinghua glanced at her with a slightly scrutinizing look, but did not say anything.
Jia Xinyue keenly sensed her father's piercing gaze, and her hand holding the bowl trembled slightly involuntarily, almost causing her to drop the bowl.
Seeing that her father was just watching quietly and didn't say anything, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, gradually calmed down.
After the meal, Jia Xinyue took the initiative to clean up the dishes.
Jia Qinghua had urgent business to attend to in his office, so he planned to leave in a hurry after finishing his meal.
As he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, slowly turned to look at Shen Yulin, a hint of doubt in his eyes, and asked, "Where did Xinyue go just now?"
Shen Yulin's eyes flickered slightly, and she said naturally, "Where can you go in the army? You can just wander around wherever you want, right?"
Jia Qinghua frowned. "She doesn't even help cook when she comes back from vacation. She only comes back to eat after the food is already prepared. What kind of behavior is this? You're just going to spoil her like this."
Jia Xinyue came out after washing the dishes and happened to overhear her father's words, "Dad, are you starting to dislike me now?"
Jia Qinghua's face was serious. "Is there anything you did that I can stand? You finally had a stroke of luck and met a good partner, and you ruined it all. I can understand if one of the women your boss introduced to you is dissatisfied with you, but they all have a bad opinion of you. Can't you take advantage of your vacation to stay home and reflect on yourself and figure out what you did wrong that made others look down on you?"
Upon hearing these words, Jia Xinyue's face turned red with anger, but she dared not retort, because they were all true.
Compared to her later blind dates, Wang Renyi was indeed her lucky man.
Shen Yulin looked at her daughter with heartache, then looked at Jia Qinghua with some reproach, and said, "Stop saying such things. What kind of father are you? Xinyue is already sad enough being disliked by people outside."
Jia Qinghua showed no intention of backing down, saying, "She brought it on herself."
Jia Xinyue couldn't help but retort, "How did I bring this on myself? They look down on me, but I look down on them too. You have no idea how arrogant and rude they were..."
Jia Qinghua interrupted her without hesitation: "Did you treat Wang Renyi as badly as you did back then?"
Jia Xinyue: "..."
Jia Qinghua sneered, "You can't even handle the smallest grievance Wang Renyi has inflicted on you now? Think about it carefully, how long has Wang Renyi tolerated you?"
After saying that, Jia Qinghua opened the door and left quickly, afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would really not give Jia Xinyue any face at all.
In fact, every time Jia Xinyue went on a blind date, her hospital leaders would report the situation to Jia Qinghua.
Jia Qinghua learned that the man's cold attitude towards Jia Xinyue was because she herself had shown disdain for others, which was why he retaliated.
Shen Yulin saw her daughter standing there blankly with her head down, looking lost and speechless, and quickly went over to her.
She gently comforted him, "Don't take what your dad said to heart. I've lived with him for almost thirty years, and sometimes he just likes to stick to the old-fashioned approach of siding with reason over family."
Jia Xinyue looked up, her eyes already red, her voice trembling with tears: "Mom..."
Upon seeing this, Shen Yulin panicked and hurriedly said, "Why are you crying? I'll go and call your dad back to apologize to you."
Jia Xinyue quickly grabbed her mother's hand, her voice choked with emotion: "Mom, was I really that bad to Wang Renyi before?"
Shen Yulin sighed and said, "It's not that I went too far, it's just that my words were a bit sharp and hurtful. If we're talking about going too far, what I said to Wang Renyi was even more extreme than what you said, but I don't think I did anything wrong. All I wanted was for my daughter to find someone who truly cared for her, and someone from a good family background. Given Wang Renyi's family situation, he might not be able to settle down in the city even if he worked hard his whole life..."
As Jia Xinyue listened to Shen Yulin's rambling, she became increasingly shocked.
