Soon, the song and dance performance on the stage ended. Li Baihua smiled sweetly and said, "Now it's time for the parent representatives to speak. Let's invite Comrade Qin Ying, the parent of Su Qingyun, to speak to everyone."
Applause broke out and Qin Ying slowly walked onto the stage, her legs shaking a little.
The moment Lu Cheng heard Li Baihua read out Qin Ying's name, his face darkened and an unknown meaning flashed in his eyes. He looked at Qin Ying on the stage, not knowing what he was thinking.
Qin Ying stood on the stage, looking at the crowd of people below. Qin Yingzhi felt as if everything in front of her eyes was going to go dark. She swallowed and told herself to stay calm and not embarrass her daughter.
Su Qingyun looked at her mother and gave her an encouraging smile. Su Aimin waved his fist at her, signaling her to cheer up.
Qin Ying closed her eyes, then opened them again, feeling a little calmer.
She recalled her manuscript and finally said, "Hello everyone, I'm Su Qingyun's mother, my name is Qin Ying."
"Good!" As soon as she said this, the Wu family members in the audience applauded out of respect, and the others also followed suit, looking confused.
The applause actually eased Qin Ying's nervousness. She smiled and continued, "Before, Director Feng from the institute told me that I needed to go on stage and talk about my own experience in educating my children. But to be honest, I really can't express myself in such a way."
"I'm going to say something that might make everyone envious. Although I'm a teacher now, Qingyun has come this far, and her father and I haven't really worried about her studies. She's very sensible and works very hard. She won awards because of her own efforts. Her father and I don't understand advanced math either. We can only stare blankly at the math problems."
Hearing this, everyone smiled.
"Perhaps the only thing we can do is not interfere with her in anything she does. As long as it's not dangerous and won't put her in harm's way, we can let her do everything. We support her in participating in invention competitions, joining agricultural experimental groups, and even her desire to compete abroad this time. We're worried, but we still support her."
"Because these are things she loves and wants to do, we as parents shouldn't stop her. Instead, we should stand firmly behind her. No matter how high the kite flies, as long as we hold the string firmly in our hands, it will not disappear."
"We parents have been worried since our children were born. We worry that they won't sleep well, won't be well dressed, that they'll be hungry or cold. When they grow up, we worry that they'll fight with other children and that they won't learn well. So we always stay close to them, terrified that they might make the slightest mistake."
"But sometimes, we can also learn to relax a little and let her make her own decisions. Let her choose what she wants to do, to venture out and strive for what she wants to do. All of these are fine."
"Perhaps sometimes, if we relax a little, unexpected results will occur. We, as parents, will not be shackles and imprisonment for our children, but her harbor and confidence."
"So, let go and let your child fly bravely. One day, she will soar into the sky."
After Qin Ying finished her last sentence, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Throughout her speech, she had a proud smile on her face. She was proud of her daughter.
Many parents present had thoughtful expressions on their faces. Perhaps they should think about how to best get along with their children.
"Qin Ying's life is neither good nor bad. She has been living in a small village for so many years. But unexpectedly, she has such an outstanding daughter. Her life has taken a turn for the better. Now she is standing here and speaking, I wonder how many people are jealous."
"Who says it's not true? Who would have thought that she would return to the capital in such a way? I guess it won't be long before Old Qin and the others return."
"Look at Lu Cheng's face, it's so ugly. He probably never thought that this day would come. The Qin family is powerful, so Lu Cheng has to think carefully."
"Old Qin never imagined that Lu Cheng, whom he treated as his own son, would do such a thing. Otherwise, with Old Qin's achievements and qualifications, who knows where he would be today. Life is truly unpredictable!"
"Just wait and see. This little girl Su Qingyun has a bright future. Lu Cheng must think carefully about what he should do if the Qin family makes a comeback."
"I heard that today's commendation meeting was jointly organized by the Propaganda Department and the Organization Department. Isn't Lu Cheng the second-in-command of the Organization Department? Looking at Qin Ying like this, I guess he's furious right now."
Some people in the family compound were talking about it.
And what is Lu Cheng's mood now? His mood is very complicated.
Over the years, he did regret what he had done and often dreamed of the past years. He felt guilty towards Qin Ying, so when he learned that Qin Ying and her daughter had come to the capital last time, Lu Cheng wanted to compensate them.
But this kind of compensatory mentality, just like what Su Qingyun thought, is based on the situation that he is in a high position and Qin Ying is in a low position, instead of the situation like now, where the situation has changed and Qin Ying is in a high position and he is in a low position.
This reversal made Lu Cheng feel very uncomfortable. He wanted to compensate Qin Ying, but after seeing that she was living so well, he had a strange feeling instead.
It was as if it shouldn't be like this, everything was wrong, as if Qin Ying had to stand in a position lower than him and accept his help and compensation. He should be the condescending giver, instead of like now, just watching her live well and thinking that she should live with his help.
He knew that his heart was very dark, but he just couldn't control his thoughts.
Lu Cheng's gloomy expression fell into Qin Ying's eyes, and she couldn't help but smile.
Lu Cheng had stabbed her father in the back and trampled on their family for so many years. Did she ever think that she would return to the capital today? And in this way?
In fact, she knew from a young age that Lu Cheng was not a good person, which was why she had a closer relationship with Wu Xiangdong and why she refused when her father proposed that they get married. She was right about him, and Lu Cheng was a complete villain.
It would be fine if he was just a mean person, but he also had to pretend to be hypocritical to disgust them. His words of guilt and regret were just bullshit. Qin Ying simply couldn't stand it.
