Early the next morning, Cheng Huanran went to work.
Xue Ling drove him to the hospital with dark circles under his eyes and warned him: "Eat well and work well. There is nothing that is too difficult to overcome."
Cheng Huanran looked very bad. Apparently he didn't sleep well last night. Seeing the thick dark circles under his mother's eyes, he secretly felt distressed.
But son... There is more to a person's life than love. Maybe it won't take more than ten or twenty years for you to realize how immature and even ridiculous you are at this time.
I hope you can be stronger.
Now is not the time to feel sad, because none of this will solve the problem.
You are already a man, you have to shoulder your responsibilities and find ways to solve the problem."
Cheng Huanran nodded, not knowing what he was thinking of.
"Mom, some people will go through fire and water for love, even at the risk of making the whole world their enemies... In the eyes of many girls, that kind of love is true love.
If I can't do that, she might think I don't love her enough."
Xue Ling smiled, his eyes full of ridicule.
"What is this nonsense?
It’s all from those silly TV series, right?
Son, we are part of this world. Every mouthful of water we drink and every mouthful of food we eat are the result of the joint labor of many people.
For the sake of love, can you be the enemy of the whole world?
People will die if they don't drink water for a day or two.
I have to die for love. Is that kind of love true love?
If this is the case, how come there are so many broken loves in this world?
They all died for their love!"
Cheng Huanran was speechless for a moment and burst into laughter.
Xue Ling asked back: "Aren't you also broken up in love?
Apart from the moment of extreme pain and regret, what happened next?
Aren’t you still eating and drinking, going to school and living as usual, finding the girl you like again and starting a new relationship?
Being able to make enemies of the whole world for the sake of love - what kind of crazy talk is this?
!Only young and ignorant little girls would believe it to be the truth. In your mother’s eyes, it is almost the same as foolish words and idiotic words.
For love, you can't live for more than a day or two, and then what?
What did you get?
What did it end up being?”
"Just a joke."
Cheng Huanran whispered: "Maybe I will become a joke in the eyes of others in the future..." He and Xiao Qiao have had a stable relationship for the past five years and have always been good friends, whether they are mentors, classmates, or internship colleagues.
, all of them are very optimistic about them, thinking that they are handsome and handsome, have the same talents, and have the same promising future. They will definitely come together smoothly and stay in love as husband and wife for the rest of their lives.
Unexpectedly, in the final stage of marriage discussions, the elders of the two families would have conflicting opinions and would even let them break up.
Xue Ling smiled slightly and said, "Of course, if you act impulsively and insist on being with her, even if you break up with your family and parents, that is your own choice."
"How can it be!"
Cheng Huanran shook his head: "Mom, I am not an impulsive boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, how could I do such a stupid thing.
I am a member of the family, and giving up the family also means giving up myself.
I would never be able to do such an unconscionable thing."
"As long as you understand this."
Xue Ling walked around the steering wheel and whispered: "Son, Mom understands that you are feeling very uncomfortable right now.
But we are not blindly opposed to it, we are still enlightened parents.
We are willing to sit down with each other's parents and discuss this matter together to see if we can both take a step back and find a balance point so that you and Xiao Qiao can stand firm in this relationship."
"for example?"
Cheng Huanran asked in surprise.
Xue Ling replied: "For example, among the children you have in the future, you can choose one to take the other's surname.
You are obviously career-oriented people, so it shouldn't be possible for you to have many children.
Try to have two children, one with her last name.
Anyway, you have so much property in your name, after her parents retire, you can bring them here to take care of her nearby.
As long as you don't spend recklessly, your property will be enough for you to support hundreds of elderly people, let alone two or three of your own juniors."
"This..." Cheng Huanran couldn't help but asked anxiously: "Will my father agree?
I am the eldest son of the family and the eldest grandson of the Cheng family. I don’t have many children..." "He will agree."
Xue Ling explained: "When Yangyang and Xiaoxin gave me my last name, it was your father who took the initiative.
If he hadn't taken the initiative to agree, how would my grandparents have dared to make such a request?
Don’t worry, your dad is reasonable and he’s not the kind of person who catches you making mistakes and won’t let go.”
After hearing this, Cheng Huanran finally showed a relaxed smile.
"This is a compromise that our family voluntarily gave up...Xiao Qiao will definitely be very happy when she finds out about such sincerity.
I will discuss it with her later and ask her to persuade her parents."
Xue Ling reminded: "Dating is a matter between the two of you, but marriage is a matter between two families, and it cannot be decided by just the two of you.
You tell her to ask her family to come to the Imperial Capital when they are free in the near future, and we can sit down and discuss it carefully."
"good."
Cheng Huanran nodded hurriedly.
... In the next few days, Xue Ling did not take the initiative to call his eldest son, giving the young couple enough space and time to discuss a compromise. Cheng Tianyuan even ignored him, feeling that he had to solve this kind of matter by himself.
, his parents can't help him.
Despite this, before going to bed every night, he would still tease his wife beside him.
"That kid... didn't say anything, did he?"
Xue Ling took off his eyes and put the book aside.
"He sent me a message this evening: He said he wanted to introduce his girlfriend to us and planned to take her home for dinner on Friday night."
Cheng Tianyuan frowned slightly and asked, "Did the woman compromise?
Why don't you insist on letting him get married?"
"He didn't say."
Xue Ling replied.
Cheng Tianyuan's face darkened slightly and he said, "Then let him not bring her here - there's no need!"
Xue Ling's eyes moved slightly and he picked up the mobile phone beside the pillow.
"Let me ask, if the woman doesn't compromise on this issue, then don't take her home. It's really unnecessary."
After a while, Cheng Huanran responded to the message.
"How did he say?"
Cheng Tianyuan came over.
Xue Ling had no choice but to take the phone and let him look at it together, and read it out along the way.
"He said her parents would come over the weekend to interview us.
However, their opinions seem to be very stubborn and they say they want to persuade us with the utmost sincerity."
Cheng Tianyuan sneered: "No amount of sincerity can shake my bottom line! It's impossible for me to agree. Let them stop wasting their words and don't waste my time!"
Xue Ling thought for a while and suggested: "How about this, let them not come home on Friday night.
I can make an appointment with the girl's parents on the weekend, and we can meet together then.
If the whole family insists on insisting, then I will refuse it outright, don’t mention it again in the future, and just let it go.”
