Saying that everything was over, after a moment of silence, Zhang Xiao said in a light tone the reason behind the fight between father and daughter nine years ago.Mu Chen quietly listened to her talk. She was willing to tell him about the past because he trusted him.
"I was young and full of resentment, so I started a quarrel with my father, which was really bad, and then he slapped me in the face and pointed at the door and told me to get lost." "As Zhang Xiao said till this point, she suddenly started laughing. Her laughter was ironic and sad. He thought I couldn"t leave the Zhang Family, couldn"t leave his protection. She was wrong, I had always wanted to leave the Zhang Family, but he had never protected me. In my memories, the person who protected me was Xiujie. Although he wasn"t able to protect his completely, that woman was still his mother by blood.
Zhang Xiao paused for a few minutes, probably going back to the situation back then.
Mu Chen wanted to comfort her, but she smiled at him: "It"s all in the past, just like the story, don"t worry I will be defeated."
His smile was obviously charming and gorgeous, but it gave Mu Chen a feeling as if a knife was twisting through his heart. It was the first time he had ever known it was painful to see someone laughing. However, compared to her crying, he was more willing to see her smile. Even if it was a wry smile, it was better than crying.
Her crying, her tears, could make him lose his life.
When shsheslapped me, I couldn"t even stand properly and fell to the ground. Ling Hong Yu even tried to help me, but I warned her not to touch me, and when my father saw my att.i.tude, he became even more furious. He accused me of being heartless, accused me of not knowing what was good for me, and said that Ling Hong Yu treated me as her own flesh and blood, but I did not know how to repay him. She"s been raising dogs for over ten years, and when he sees them, he would shake her head and wag her tail. Raising a daughter like me would anger him to death when she grows up. I just watched him being so ruthless. I watched him ruthlessly insulting me. I heard him say that if it wasn"t for my grandparents" love for me, she would have already strangled me to death … I"m going upstairs. "
Mu Chen gnashed his teeth, "He"s not worthy to be your father!"
She was so excellent, so perfect, that her parents should have treated her like a jewel in their palm instead of treating her coldly and ruthlessly.
Zhang Xiao laughed: "Do you think it"s our turn to say whether or not you"re qualified? Even if he strangles me to death, the entire world would be blaming him, but it wouldn"t change the fact that I"m his daughter. That kind of blood relationship was fated ever since I was alive, whether he"s worthy or not, he"s still my father. No matter how he treats me, he thinks he"s my dad, my dad. Only he can be bad to me, I can"t be unfilial to him. "
Her words were too rational, too realistic, and even more cruel.
b.l.o.o.d.y exposed the ugly side of human nature.
People always say that parents love their children.
Actually, not all parents would love their children like Zhang Hao Tian, who did not love her daughter at all. Even if he came to find Zhang Xiao again and again in order to persuade Zhang Xiao to go home, it was because of her selfishness and ulterior motives.
If he had no goal, how could he possibly drop his status and take the initiative to look for Zhang Xiao?
"He was still swearing when I went upstairs. Ling Hong Yu kept urging him, but her persuasion was like a bucket of oil, splashing all over his fire, making him even more angry. I went back to my room and packed my things. I didn"t have anything, and all I wanted to take with me was a photo alb.u.m, my mother"s photo alb.u.m. As I was dragging my luggage downstairs, he said coldly, "If I dare to walk out of Zhang Family"s main entrance, I will not go back in the future." He even said that without a daughter like me, he would not be able to tell others that he was Zhang Hao Tian"s daughter. Does he think I really like being his, Zhang Hao Tian"s, daughter? Did he mention his own daughter to anyone? How many people outside know about my existence? "
"If I leave, I refuse to believe that I will not be able to survive after leaving the Zhang Family. Even if I have to pick up trash, I will still feed myself."
Mu Chen recalled the scene where Zhang Xiao left home.
She had left the Zhang Family with resentment and hatred, as well as endless grievances.
No wonder she wasn"t willing to talk about her real ident.i.ty, no wonder she was willing to be a peddler, and be Mu Ya"s nanny.
For the past nine years, she had been running all over the place for her own survival, and had long erased her young mistress"s temper. No, she did not have a young lady"s temper. She might not even be as good as Ling Hong Yu"s pet dog.
Her father was indifferent and merciless. Her stepmother, who looked like a white lotus, was the mistress of the family. Her ex-wife had given birth to a child that was trying to survive.
"When I first left home, I was not poor. My mom did leave me some money, and now that I"m an adult, I can look for a job. It"s just that he was deliberately trying to keep me from finding work in the group, trying to make me unable to survive, and then resigned himself to earning money from him. He wanted to see me go back to him like a dog to beg for food. Knowing that he was up to no good, I gave up my major. By then, I had already... "Anyway, doing some small business, doing some odd jobs, running errands, or making some small money to support yourself is not a problem. As long as he doesn"t find out and doesn"t make things difficult for us, it"s fine."
As she finished speaking, Zhang Xiao felt a sense of relief. She had probably told him the story as a story, as though she had suppressed it for a very long time.
She was not angry, nor was she crying.
She felt that the harm her father had done to her was already something she could face.
"Actually, I can make a lot of money too. I just like to be self-reliant and live a normal life, so I donated all the money I earned to the orphanage and the nursing home. "My mom was adopted by an orphanage when she was young. When she grew up, she would donate money to the orphanage every year."
"Zhang Xiao."
Mu Chen shouted in a deep voice.
Zhang Xiao turned her head to look at him, feeling the pain in his eyes, she laughed: Even I don"t feel any pain, you who listened to me, feel my heart ache.
"Can I hug you?"
Mu Chen stared at her and pleaded softly. He wanted to hug her.
Zhang Xiao was still smiling: "Mr. Mou, thank you for listening to me finish speaking. Thank you for your consolation, there"s no need to hug me anymore." Only when she was in the worst of times would she try to find a harbor to hide in. After resting, she would set sail again and continue moving forward.
Mu Chen who did not have Zhang Xiao in his arms felt as though he had eaten a housefly. His heart was blocked, but at the moment, he was unwilling to use force against her, so he could only use a deep gaze to gaze at her. He silently said in his heart: From today onwards, I will be your harbor, I will help you shelter from the wind and rain! I will escort you to the other side!
