"The family is very easy to get along with, and I think they will be very happy to have you join them."
"Of course... I won't force you to do anything. Everything is up to you."
"Cen... Third Uncle, can I call you that first?" Chen Ye interrupted Cen Baixu's chattering.
Cen Boxu's heart skipped a beat, but he nodded good-naturedly. From the information he had heard in the past few days, his daughter was a very independent-minded child, and no harsh measures would be of any use on such a child.
On the contrary, your toughness will push the child away. He is not a dictator. This is his daughter, not his subordinate. He plans to slowly adopt a conciliatory policy and let his daughter accept him little by little.
"Sure, you can call him whatever you want." No matter how you call him, he is still Ye Zi's biological father. Does that mean he is no longer Ye Zi's biological father just because you call him differently?
"I know this all came too suddenly for you. You need time to think it over. When you're ready, just tell me your answer. But could you please..."
Cen Boxu paused for a moment, but still spoke out what was about to happen: "Can you please not reject our concern for you?"
"If your family knew you existed, they would definitely be happy and might even be anxious to contact you, but you can treat them according to your heart's desire."
In other words, he would not force Chen Ye to do anything, and everything would be done according to Chen Ye's ideas. To be honest, Chen Ye was relieved to hear this.
She has a hidden rebellious streak in her life. The more you dictate my life under the pretext of doing things for my own good, the more I want to go against you. I know it's wrong, but she will never compromise.
For example, Chen Laoer was the only relative of the little grandfather. When she dealt with Chen Laoer, she did not hesitate or show any softness. She was thinking that if the little grandfather was dissatisfied with her, she would stay away from him decisively.
To put it bluntly, she is quite self-centered now. She finally has a healthy body and a free life. She doesn't want to be interrupted by anyone, no one, unless she is willing.
However, Chen Ye was still very satisfied with Cen Boxu's attitude. If the man opposite him now said forcefully that he wanted to take him back and help him arrange his future life, Chen Ye could just kick him out.
But since the other person was being soft-hearted, Chen Ye really couldn't say anything too harsh. After all, she was a person with a cold exterior but a soft heart.
"To be honest, it felt quite sudden. In fact, I knew a few years ago that I was not a child of the Chen family. I always thought I was abandoned."
"I'm glad I'm not the one who was abandoned, but I can't accept my relatives right away. I'm a slow-moving person. I think we need to get along slowly before we can see if we're suitable for each other. What do you think?"
This is just short of saying it directly: if I think you are good, I will recognize you. If I think you are not good, then I will definitely not acknowledge you. This is the kind of person I am. It is impossible for me to change. It depends on whether you can accept me as I am.
If Chen Ye had a chance to live again, he would want to live the life he wants, but he would not suppress himself for anyone, not even his own father.
Cen Boxu nodded without even thinking: "I have never fulfilled my responsibilities as a father, and I will not dictate your life. You just need to live according to your own wishes."
"Don't worry, the other people in the family have the same idea as me." Even if they are different, they must be unified. If anyone makes his daughter disown him, he will teach him how to behave.
Chen Ye choked. "You've already said everything I wanted to say. What should I do next?" He felt a little frustrated.
Cen Boxu pretended not to see Chen Ye's somewhat frustrated little face, and even wanted to laugh in his heart, because children are children.
"I'd like to ask for your opinion. You've graduated from high school, right? Do you have any plans for the future?" If possible, he really wanted to take his daughter to live with him and make up for the hardships she had suffered.
Unfortunately, this is not realistic at all. His job means that he has little time to balance family matters, and he doesn't have any extra time to spend with his children. The thought of this makes him feel upset, so he might as well retire.
Now if he takes his daughter back home, he can only leave her with his parents to be taken care of. Ye Zi is not familiar with the two elderly people, and she will definitely feel uncomfortable for a while. He still hopes that his daughter can live the life she wants.
Here he comes, here he comes, he came with a questioning tone, could it be that he wants to arrange her future work?
It's not impossible. Although she is a rather self-centered person, she knows what is good and what is bad. She will not reject things that are good for her simply because of rejection.
Anyone who doesn't take advantage of an opportunity is a fool, but she is not a fool. She wants the benefits, and she will talk about recognizing her as a relative when the time comes.
"I should find a job in the county first, but it's hard to find a job now, so I've been putting it off."
It's really hard to find one. Before she graduated, Da Shuang and Er Shuang started trying hard for her, but it's a pity that she never responded.
The grandfather also asked his old friends to inquire, but there was no good news. Besides, she was not in a hurry, so she felt that there was no point in worrying about this matter.
There was no way out. Every time graduation came, it was the most anxious time for all students. If they couldn't find a job, they had to go to the countryside. This was the case for those with urban household registration. As she had a rural household registration, she couldn't get a job at all.
"Does it have to be a job in the county? Not in the city?" He felt that the conditions in the city were much better than in the county, and of course he wanted his daughter to live a good life.
He had never thought about going back to the capital to work. He couldn't let his daughter fall into danger. He didn't know how many people were looking for his weaknesses in the dark. Once his daughter showed up, she would definitely become a target.
Not to mention that his daughter will not go back with him at all. He has acquaintances in the city, but he doesn't know anyone in the county here, so it's not easy to arrange work.
"Actually, I'd rather you stay here. My work might put you in danger. I just want you to live a free and happy life, and I don't want you to get hurt because of me."
Chen Ye... So there's danger involved in claiming a father? Does that mean this matter of claiming a father requires even more careful consideration?
Cen Zixiang always felt that he could sense Ye Zi's inner thoughts. This might be because of their blood relationship. He always felt that this topic was quite dangerous.
"Ye Zi, Fourth Brother knows you're skilled and not afraid of danger, but can we really compete with those firearms? You'll be alone in the capital, so it's better for you to have Fourth Brother accompany you here."
"My three older brothers are all in the army and can only come home once or twice a year. It's so nice that my fourth brother can be with you every day here. We can even go up the mountain to play occasionally. We don't have this opportunity in the capital."
