Chapter 539 Are you taking the side of outsiders like this?
Sun Ling couldn’t muster the words to speak, and her father continued his furious reprimand, "Did you run off to find your aunt and tell her you wanted to call off this marriage? I’ve told you before, I’ve already stopped meddling in your role as a director, but when it comes to your marriage, we must decide for you. It won’t do you any good to discuss it with anyone else!"
Suppressing the feeling of injustice welling up inside, Sun Ling thought of the boss’s words, that at such times, one must not place one’s parents in the position of adversaries but rather show vulnerability.
Thus, Sun Ling chuckled lightly and responded to her father, "Dad, you’re wrongly accusing me. I visited my aunt today purely as a future daughter-in-law visiting her mother-in-law. I’ve thought it over, and since you are so adamant, I have nothing to object to. I was even considering getting engaged to Tianyi sooner so I could move in there, as it is closer to the company. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my aunt if that’s what I told her."
Her father looked at her, somewhat doubtful, "Is everything you said true?"
"You can ask her yourself."
"Then why did she feel distressed and uncomfortable?"
"Perhaps she was upset when I mentioned not wanting children for the time being? We aren’t even engaged yet; isn’t it too early to discuss this? Besides, my aunt started feeling unwell midway through our conversation. After she went back to her room, I stayed at the Qiu Family home for quite a while. If she was really unhappy, would she have allowed me to stay around for that long? Dad, I’m your daughter, why are you siding with outsiders?" At this point, Sun Ling finally began to cry out her grievances.
"Do you know how much effort it took for me to accept your arrangements? And now, to make matters worse, you’re taking Tianyi’s side. Are both families conspiring to bully me?"
