Si Huai and Lu Ze reacted very differently after hearing Tang Wan's words.
Si Huai seemed puzzled by Tang Wan's words, then shook his head.
"Tangtang, do you want to leave me like your mother did?"
Tang Wan knew that her thoughts could not escape Si Huai's eyes.
So he didn't intend to hide it and answered, "Yes."
“Father, I have been preparing for this goal for ten years.”
Tang Wan doesn't know how many decades there are in a lifetime, but she knows that she has been steadfastly walking this path.
She wants to reclaim her mother's name and her identity as her mother.
Of course, there are not many perfect endings in this world. Before reaching the happy ending in any game, the player always has to put in unimaginable effort.
Tang Wan knew that she was also walking on this path, and she was determined to stay on it.
Looking into Tang Wan's eyes, Si Huai knew that his daughter would not easily change her mind, but having lost his lover, Si Huai certainly did not want his daughter to follow in his wife's footsteps.
There are so many people in this world, why must you lose your family?
But when Si Huai saw Tang Wan's expression, the words he wanted to say suddenly stuck in his throat.
Because Tang Wan's expression looked so determined, it seemed that no matter what she said, Tang Wan would not easily change her mind.
Indeed, how many decades does one have in a lifetime?
Tang Wan has been preparing for this goal for ten years.
It is one-seventh of her life.
All words seemed utterly inadequate at this moment, to the point that what he wanted to say sounded like pointless whining.
But simply agreeing to let his daughter embark on a dangerous path again was not his intention.
He simply couldn't bring himself to say yes to Tang Wan, so he could only turn his head away, not wanting to look into Tang Wan's expectant eyes.
As for Lu Ze, he was much more straightforward.
Lu Ze had always known that his younger sister was precocious and shrewd. From the first moment he saw Tang Wan, Lu Ze knew that Tang Wan had a firm goal in her heart, and Tang Wan had never given up on this goal.
Everything she did was simply to better achieve her goals.
She made unimaginable efforts to achieve this.
Tang Wan is certainly a genius, but even a genius needs to accumulate knowledge day after day to learn so many things.
All achievements bear the weight of time; no one can succeed easily.
Although Tang Wan is only fifteen years old, the depth of her life experience has already surpassed that of ordinary people.
Lu Ze knew.
Tang Wan wanted to make herself a thorn in the side of those maggots in the darkness.
But at an age when she should be playing freely in the arms of her elders, she has developed a resilient heart.
Lu Ze couldn't bear to see disappointment in Tang Wan's eyes, so he said what Si Huai wanted to say but was unwilling to say.
"Okay, I agree to let you skip a grade."
Tang Wan's eyes lit up as he expected. Tang Wan also heard Lu Ze's next sentence: "But I want you to swear that when you encounter danger, your primary goal is to protect yourself, not to rush in to protect others."
Even though you're not officially employed, you still need someone to protect you.
"Before becoming the people's protector, you were also a son or daughter of the people."
Upon hearing Lu Ze's words, Tang Wan nodded solemnly, then looked at the silent Si Huai with expectant eyes and asked softly, "Father, are you really unwilling?"
Si Huai sighed, looking at the girl in front of him, and the image of that sunny, carefree girl from his memory overlapped with his own.
His wife had asked him the same question back then.
"Si Huai, are you really unwilling?"
"If you don't want to, I'll go by myself."
Si Huai still remembers how angry he was. Hearing her say those words made him feel incredibly cold inside. He realized that the girl in front of him didn't care about him at all; she was just determined to do what she wanted.
So what Si Huai said at the time wasn't pleasant either: "Fine, you have your own ideas, go for it yourself!"
However, his voice betrayed his true thoughts, choked with emotion, and his momentum suddenly weakened.
The girl's smile was even brighter than the sunshine that day. She rushed forward and hugged Si Huai tightly, saying something as she did so.
"Don't cry. Although I know you're worried about me, I still hope to get your approval and support on this trip."
“We are a family. Even if I am gone, you are still my mother who is with me.”
"Si Huai, I want to do something meaningful like my elders in the family. Even if it's not for the greater good of the people, I just want to know how my family was destroyed."
"People in our country have some strange ideas. They always talk about returning to one's roots. So I also want to know when my family members can return to their roots."
"Si Huai, personal thoughts and feelings appear particularly insignificant in the torrent of the nation and the times."
"Even so, I want my trip to have other meanings."
She had already said so much, so how could Si Huai refuse her?
Si Huai gritted his teeth and said defiantly, "All you do is bully me."
"Yes, I can only bully you."
Thinking of this, Si Huai looked at Tang Wan standing in front of him and felt as if he had been bullied by this mother and daughter again.
The only difference is that his lover used to bully him, but now it's his daughter who's bullying him.
Fortune's wheel keeps turning, and it always ends up in his house.
Si Huai sneered, then said, "I agree."
Both mother and daughter are like this; each of them can manipulate themselves.
But there's nothing we can do.
He loved them.
So I want to fulfill every one of their wishes.
Tang Wan's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Si Huai's words.
Tang Wan's emotions were unusually flamboyant.
She eagerly grabbed Shi Huai's hand and said in a triumphant tone, "You're saying yes? You're really saying yes?"
However, Si Huai turned his back and said, word by word, "I did promise you, but you also have to promise me that I won't rush forward blindly."
"I have no interest in knowing why the Xue family has reappeared in the world, because there is no one to carry on the family name."
Hearing Si Huai's somewhat distorted voice, Tang Wan nodded heavily and replied, "Father, I will definitely come back safely."
She is different from her mother.
The mother chose to remain anonymous.
And I was exposed to those people's sight from the very beginning.
