Chapter 336 334. Did I really do something wrong? (Subscribe)
Bai Shihan looked solemn after finishing the call. She knew very well what Wu Jiaying would go through, so she was worried.
"It's okay, trust me, Auntie. What we need to do now is to let them know that even if you don't follow their choice, you can still do better."
On Lover's Hill, Lin Xinyu held the little girl's hand tightly, his eyes were firm, and his words of encouragement never stopped.
"But, but, Dad is very fierce..."
This is the most important thing. In her impression, Bai Chen always keeps his word, and his expression and actions almost never allow for rejection. It is precisely because of this that Bai Shihan feels unsure. Maybe her aunt is under pressure right now.
However, what she didn't know was that Wu Jiaying was not afraid at all, and became more and more courageous as the fight went on. She confronted Bai Chen so fiercely that he dared not say a word, and her words revealed her past resentment.
Out of guilt, the couple hesitated to speak.
In comparison, Bai's mother Qiu Jingyun looked much calmer. She showed almost no nervousness at all and instead seemed happy.
In her opinion, this change in her daughter is a new beginning.
Although she is usually very busy and has little time to contact her daughter, she still has some objections to Bai Chen's strict parenting style. If he had not insisted that this was the only way to make her daughter independent and promised that he would never hurt Bai Shihan, how could she be willing to do that.
But in the end, she was so busy with work that she seldom paid attention to her daughter's feelings. Moreover, when she met the little girl, Bai Shihan performed excellently in all aspects and there was nothing wrong with her. So she thought that strict requirements were indeed a good method.
As for the fact that Bai Shihan was autistic and rarely spoke, Qiu Jingyun knew almost nothing about it from beginning to end.
"I admit that we were wrong, but Shihan is innocent. Why didn't you let her behave herself and push her into the hands of outsiders?"
"Because outsiders understand her feelings better than you do."
Wu Jiaying's simple words left the couple speechless.
Do they understand Bai Shihan's feelings? Do they know what she is thinking? Have they ever had a serious conversation since they were young?
From the beginning to the end, Bai Chen always believed that his method was not wrong, otherwise his daughter would not be as outstanding as she is now, and would be able to win the highest award no matter what she did, so there was no need for him to worry at all.
"Sister, all she wants is to be happy. What you said, if Shihan's talent is not so good, her learning ability is average, and she can't achieve what you want even if she works hard, do you still want to beat her?"
Wu Jiaying has always been straightforward. She didn't know why the little girl was so unhappy before. She was a lively and cheerful little girl when she was young, but suddenly she became depressed and unwilling to communicate with others. If it weren't for Lin Xinyu's appearance, it is very likely that she would not have been able to get the truth and the reason for her unhappiness from Bai Shihan until now.
"I……"
Bai Chen didn't know what to say for a moment. The dignity on his face was gone. As for Qiu Jingyun, she had never accompanied Bai Shihan properly since she was born. She was a real strong woman, otherwise she wouldn't have let Song Jiali be a nanny for such a long time and stay with Bai Shihan.
"Sister, brother-in-law, don't let Shihan be like me."
"I haven't been happy at all these years. You've heard how happy Shihan is whenever I mention anything about her and Lin Xinyu. Also, that boy has been here before and hasn't done anything out of line. He said he wants to wait until you approve before he'll consider it. There's still a lot of time left, so it doesn't matter if we wait just a little while."
"Besides, given Shihan's current state, if she wants to elope with Lin Xinyu, you can't stop her. Such a good little girl has become like this now. Ask yourself, have you really cared about her feelings?"
After such a long series of talks, Wu Jiaying felt a little tired. She didn't want to listen to their answers anymore and turned back upstairs.
The couple didn't speak for a long time. They thought about each other for a while, and then looked at each other. Both of them were filled with the same doubts in their eyes - did they do something wrong?
Thinking back, they have always demanded Bai Shihan to do what they want in their hearts, and hardly ever cared about her emotions. As long as she had the slightest opinion, he would scold her, saying that she had no ideals and no goals, and would directly deny her future development.
It seemed that from that time on, their conversations with the little girl only followed one pattern: they were responsible for issuing tasks, and the other party only needed to complete them. Even if they achieved what they wanted, they did not feel any excitement.
"Sister Song, do you have time now?"
Bai Chen took out his cell phone. Song Jiali, who had always been by her daughter's side, was definitely aware of this kind of thing, so why didn't she tell them?
Not long after, Song Jiali arrived at the first floor lobby.
"Sir, Madam."
The standard courtesy was used when they met. Song Jiali had expected this day to come, and thought that she could delay it for as long as possible. She even thought that she might lose her job because of it.
Even if it would become a reality, she did not tell Bai Chen and the others in advance. Compared to those things, making Bai Shihan happy was what Song Jiali wanted most.
Having taken care of her since she was a child, she has already regarded Bai Shihan as her own daughter in her heart. Compared to the little girl who is always depressed, she prefers the way she gets along with Lin Xinyu.
"Sister Song, you can tell us what you know. Don't worry, Shihan is half a daughter to you. Jingyun and I have no reason not to trust you."
After hearing this, Song Jiali told them all about Bai Shihan's changes. She also told them how after Lin Xinyu appeared, the little girl smiled more and more, and her autism gradually turned into cheerfulness. She told them everything she knew.
One last thing.
"Sir, Madam, let me say one last thing. What Shihan wanted since she was a child was your care, encouragement and support, but she never got it."
After these words were spoken, Bai Chen and Qiu Jingyun fell silent. All along, they had been thinking about treating their daughter with high quality and high standards, and had never considered her feelings.
After being reminded by Song Jiali, Bai Chen suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Bai Shihan took the progress award and showed off to him with joy on her face, but when he said, "There's nothing to be happy about if you're not first," the little girl immediately lost her smile.
From then on, his daughter rarely shared her daily life with him. Even if they hadn't called for a long time, she would not show any emotion of missing him. She would just mechanically report on her recent situation, such as being first in the grade, midterm and final exam results, and all kinds of exams. She remained stable for a long time.
He was happy, but his daughter was no longer smiling.
