Chapter 1867. Jealous (2)
When Dongfang Liuyun finished speaking, a hint of surprise appeared in Qi Lei’s eyes. He said—
“What about me? I didn’t know that you had a father complex too?”
Dongfang Liuyun nodded without denying it, “Father is actually very protective of me. He’s probably the person who cares about me the most in this world, so I naturally care about him too. “You might not know much about the Dongfang family up until now. Father is the son of Grandfather and Grandmother, but he hasn’t received much care since he was young.”
Dongfang Liuyun rarely talked about Dongfang Gan’s matters. When she talked about it now, his eyes were filled with emotion—
“Father was born abroad. After that, Grandmother and Grandfather returned to China to manage the family business, and Father was left abroad. You know about the company, once things get busy they get busy. Father only saw them a few times a year, so he had a lonely childhood. When he grew up and studied abroad, he didn’t necessarily become cheerful. He didn’t have many friends, but he was very smart. Grandfather said that Father was most like him.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes were a little dazed. Qi Lei very considerately handed her a glass of water. She silently took it and lowered her head to take a sip, “Grandfather only let him return to City Z when he grew up and became successful in his studies. I don’t know how Father spent those years either. When it comes to loneliness, his experience is more profound. He told me that no matter how unfortunate an experience is, it can’t be an excuse for you to stop moving forward.”
“Yes, humans are always making unreasonable requests and rarely thinking about what they would given up.”
Qi Lei’s lips curled into a helpless smile as he went along with her words. “You think it’s only right and proper, that’s why with Mother you’re always so…”
“I guess you guessed it. That’s right. I haven’t done anything for her. Although I’m a little annoyed by her actions, she’s still my mother. Besides, I’ve always felt that we’re on the same side after all. We can’t easily erase the same thing in our bones. The reason why I’m indifferent is because the feelings hidden deep in my heart haven’t been awakened. I won’t use pessimistic eyes to see the world, that would make us feel better.”
