Qin Zixuan felt a sharp pain in his leg and frowned, but soon relaxed again.
Qin Haisheng was taken back to the room by Zheng Huilin, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Just when he was about to go out and have a good chat with Qin Zijin, he was stopped by Zheng Huilin.
"Brother Hai, I think you should listen to your sister. She's always been the one who listened to you the most over the years. She's rebelling so fiercely now because she's really fed up with you. Actually, she's right. You can't control your children's lives forever. They've grown up and have the freedom to do whatever they want. They're no longer children who can do whatever you tell them to do."
Zheng Huilin's voice was calm, without any emotional ups and downs, as if she was just stating a fact.
However, Qin Haisheng was furious. "What do you know? Womanly kindness! It's because you spoiled them too much that they have become so lawless! The older ones are disobedient, and the younger ones are disobedient too! They are all going to rebel!"
"So you think you are our heaven and we can only look up to you and listen to you forever?"
"Brother Hai, I've had enough. I don't have any lofty ambitions. I just want to see my children grow up healthy and happy. As long as they are happy, that's all."
"Whether it was Zijin marrying Tang Shen or Xiaoxuan wanting to marry Miss Bai, I don't think there's a big problem. As long as they are happy, that's all that matters."
"Marriage is a lifelong thing, it's their lifelong thing. As parents, we really shouldn't interfere too much. Whether their life is good or not is something they experience for themselves. What does it have to do with us?"
"We are old now, in our seventies and eighties. Can't we just live our own lives and not bother with them?"
"Before you came, you told me you regretted it, that you knew you were wrong, and that you wanted to sincerely admit your mistakes to Zijin. But what happened? After you came, you've been making trouble every day, causing trouble every day, without stopping. I don't get the feeling that you knew you were wrong. How could you be wrong? You are never wrong. It's always others who are wrong."
"It's been forty years since I married you. I've always listened to whatever you said. When have I ever opposed you?"
"But today I really want to tell you, you better stop. When the children really don't care about you anymore, you will regret it."
"If you still intend to continue interfering in the children's affairs, I've decided that the worst that can happen is that I'll divorce you and take custody of the two children. Then you won't be able to interfere with them anymore."
"My Xiaoxuan has had such a hard life. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have gone to that hellish place. You also personally arranged for Lin Ya to go there, and in the end, our son was confined to a wheelchair for eight years!"
"Eight years! How much pain has he been through? Have you ever asked him a question in all these years? You always blame him and think he's embarrassed you! You oppose his dreams, and you think everything he does is wrong. You've always denied him. You've made my son less and less confident. He used to be such a confident and outspoken child, so outstanding, and I'm so proud of him."
"Qin Haisheng, I'm telling you this for the last time. If you keep making trouble like this, not only will your son and daughter leave you, I'll leave you too. I'm serious. Think about it carefully."
With that, Zheng Huilin turned around and left.
Qin Haisheng slumped down on the bed, his mind full of what Zheng Huilin had just said.
He really couldn't understand why things turned out like this.
Is he really wrong?
He just wants to give his children everything he thinks is good. Is that really wrong?
No one understands him...
Qin Haisheng covered his face and couldn't help crying.
After Zheng Huilin came out of the room, she went straight to Tang Can and asked him to help prepare another room.
Tang Can didn't understand what she was doing, but he didn't refuse. There were plenty of rooms anyway, enough for her to live in.
The nanny arrived in the afternoon. There are two elderly people at home. Tang Can has to take care of Tang Siwan and deal with things at the factory. He is too busy to take care of too much, so he still needs a nanny to look after the people at home.
Qin Haisheng locked himself in the room and didn't come out for the whole day.
The nanny who brought food over was also stopped at the door.
When Qin Haisheng still hadn't come out that evening, the nanny panicked and hurried to Tang Can to explain the situation. "Sir, the old man has been in his room and refused to come out. He hasn't eaten lunch or dinner. I knocked on the door but no one answered me. Could something have happened in his room?"
"I understand. You should go back and have a rest after get off work. I'll go check on him later." Tang Can frowned. He probably felt upset because of what Zheng Huilin said to Qin Haisheng in the afternoon.
After comforting the nanny, Tang Can said hello to Qin Zijin before going downstairs to check on Qin Haisheng.
The door was locked, but Tang Can had the key. Worried that Qin Haisheng might have an accident in the room, Tang Can took out the key, opened the door and went in.
The room was pitch black, with no lights on and the curtains drawn.
Tang Shen touched the switch on the wall and turned on the light in the room.
Qin Haisheng just lay on the bed, motionless, as if he was dead.
Tang Shen was startled and walked forward quickly. He saw that Qin Haisheng had his eyes open, his eye sockets were a little red, and he was staring at the ceiling quietly. He didn't know how long he had maintained this posture.
It seemed that he saw Tang Shen, and his sight finally focused. His gaze fell on Tang Shen, and he said in a very calm tone, "What are you doing here? Are you here to see if I'm dead? Don't worry, I won't die that easily."
"Dad, the nanny said you haven't eaten all day. Are you hungry now? Do you want to eat something?" Tang Can looked at Qin Haisheng's dejected appearance and didn't know what to feel for a moment.
Tang Aiguo is a very sensible person. He has never had any conflicts with Tang Aiguo. From childhood to adulthood, his parents' education has been mainly encouraging. No matter what he wants to do, they will support him. He cannot understand why Qin Haisheng always wants to control his children's lives and suppress them in various ways. As a father, how can he treat his children like this?
At least Tang Shen was very sure of one thing: if it were Tang Ruixuan and Tang Simeng, he would never treat them like this. As long as they were happy, he was willing to support them in doing anything that was not illegal or immoral.
"I'm not hungry. You go out. I'm tired and need to rest." Qin Haisheng's voice was a little hoarse. He said lightly and closed his eyes.
Tang Shen sighed, went out to heat up some food, and brought it to Qin Haisheng's room. "Dad, I've heated up some food for you. If you're hungry, get up and eat something. There's no need to put yourself in a difficult position. I'll be out first. Call me if you need anything."
Qin Haisheng didn't react at all, as if he didn't hear it.
The door was closed, but Qin Haisheng was no longer sleepy.
