Duan Deming did believe his daughter"s words, but he also believed that someone like Xi Jingchen, with his ident.i.ty, had the right to choose the girl he liked. But, did he choose his daughter?
Duan Deming could not help but be anxious and nervous. He really did not wish for his daughter to marry into the imperial family and bear the responsibility for the future of this country.
Furthermore, he was clear that his daughter was so weak at times. How could she accompany Xi Jingchen in bearing the burden of this country? That would take her.
"Even if he doesn"t like Shu Min, that"s not the reason why you can be with him. Shu Xian, are you not going to listen to dad?" Duan Deming"s voice was calm and carried a trace of disappointment.
Duan Shu Xian"s eyes reddened. She shook her head. "No, Dad, I didn"t disobey you."
"Where did you get the guts to be together with him? Have you thought about what his future will be like? He will be the successor to the Pavilion, and are you sure you can match up to him? " Duan Deming did not want to hit his daughter hard, but wanted his daughter to know how strong she was.
Duan Shu Xian"s heart was silently pounding. Her father"s words hadn"t hurt her. Her father was right, she had to recognize herself.
However, she had indeed lost her mind because she loved Xi Jingchen. She had lost track of herself in love.
This was not a simple love, much less the love of an ordinary person.
Duan Shu Xian bit her lips as she faced out the window. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
"You are my daughter. I am responsible for your future." Duan Deming said calmly.
Duan Shu Xian gently wiped the corners of her eyes. "I know, Dad." I still have to say it, I don"t want you to lose your mind because of your impulsive actions. Teacher Xi is indeed a good man, I believe that he has all sorts of morals, and is definitely the best choice. It is also inevitable that you will fall in love with him, but you should learn how to cure it.
Restraint, pain is only a temporary thing. " Duan Deming advised his daughter.
At this moment, an unspeakable grief seized Duan Shu Xian"s heart. She was unable to refute her father"s words, nor did she have the strength to refute him.
She did not have any heroic words to promise her father, because she had yet to understand this love.
"Dad, give me some time." She needed time to sort out many things.
Duan Deming sighed, he did not say a word, but he made a decision in his heart.
Perhaps, the only way he could make his daughter restrain her impulsiveness was to make her leave school and arrange other jobs for her, so that she wouldn"t meet Xi Jingchen again.
The two young people would have a good impression of each other, perhaps just like their daily meeting. If they were stopped from meeting, they might not have a chance to develop a good impression of each other anymore.
Xi Jingchen didn"t understand it, but he understood his daughter. Her thoughts were always pure and kind, to the point where she had yet to learn how to reject him.
Duan Shu Xian quietly gazed out the window at the scenery. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Duan Deming"s car stopped in front of her wife"s florist. Duan Shu Xian pushed open the door and came out, seeing that his mother"s florist still had a lot of guests, she immediately went in to help greet them.
She used to help her mother do business a lot over the summer, and she kept the shop well.
Duan Deming saw that she was entertaining guests, so he walked to the sofa inside and sat down. He looked at his wife"s afternoon.
Let your daughter leave the school library and come to your wife"s shop to help for a while. Duan Shumin was sitting in a bar! At the moment, there were not many people around, but she ordered a bottle of wine and sat there drinking alone. Her mind was filled with Xi Jingchen, his every word and action, his eyes, and at the same time, the things he had done so far …
The scene that he saw in the sky.
He treated Duan Shu Xian tenderly, even rubbed her feet, comforted her, and even gave her breakfast. Right now, her mind was in a mess, no matter what, she felt the pain of having her loved one stolen away from her.
And this person was not a stranger, but her own cousin.
If a woman suddenly appeared in front of her, she wouldn"t be so angry and pained, but this person was a cousin that she trusted so much.
She remembered that the last time she chatted with Duan Shu Xian, she said that she wasn"t going to marry him. She was really stupid to actually believe that this cousin of hers would bless her. Where is your secret pride?
This was because she had obtained the man she absolutely had to marry. Just then, Duan Shumin"s phone rang. She picked up the phone and saw that it was her mother calling. She closed her eyes, she knew what her mother would ask, but what should she say? The phone kept on ringing, but Duan Shumin still reached out to pick it up, "h.e.l.lo! Mom
"
"Min Min!" Did you go to school? " Song Meilan was indeed asking about this.
"Oh!" I didn"t go! "I can"t go because I have something to do." Duan Shumin lied to her mother, she was a proud person, how could she let her family know that she would lose to Duan Shu Xian who was inferior to her in every way?
"What?" Why don"t you go! Is there anything more important than for you to meet the Young Master Xi? " Song Meilan was confused. Didn"t his daughter say she was going?
"There"s a very important job. I can"t go away. I"ll find him next time." Duan Shumin panicked.
"That"s too bad. You won"t be able to see me today, so you can only wait for next week." Song Meilan did not want her daughter to give up.
"Mom, I"m not going home for dinner tonight." Duan Shumin"s mood today was extremely bad.
"Good!" Then come back early. " Song Meilan"s tone also revealed a trace of disappointment.
In Li Yu"s shop, after walking with a group of customers, she and the two shop a.s.sistants could finally rest and have a drink.
The afternoon business was much better, because a lot of the nearby white-collar workers and small district owners all liked to buy flowers from her. Her florist business was also very good because of the few high-end residential areas nearby.
Li Yu wiped her hands as she walked in, seeing her husband"s tired expression, she sat down and gently ma.s.saged his shoulders, "What happened? Is it so tiring today? "
Duan Deming looked at his daughter who was chatting with the shop a.s.sistant outside, and asked his wife, "Are you still lacking people here?"
Li Yu laughed, "They are missing, but I do not plan on hiring anyone who can handle it."
"I want Shu Xian to come over to work."
"Why? "Is Shu Xian coming?" Li Yu asked in surprise.
Duan Deming did not want his wife to know that he was only teaching at school to protect his ident.i.ty.
"I will resign my daughter from school and ask her to come and help you. Anyway, it"s decided." Duan Deming said.
Li Yu laughed, "You still won"t ask if Shu Xian is willing."
"If she doesn"t want to, then so be it." Duan Deming"s tone became more unyielding.
Li Yu was startled, "What"s wrong? What happened to my daughter at school? "
"In short, don"t ask now. I"ll tell you in the future. Daughter is very well, nothing happened to her." Duan Deming comforted her.
Li Yu was still puzzled, but, everything in the family, were generally listening to Duan Deming, and she would not argue too much.
Duan Shu Xian was chatting with two busy employees at the entrance, talking about the latest business and the interesting things about the guests.
"Shu Xian, you"re really prettier the more you grow. Do you have any plans to have a boyfriend?" a 30 year old employee asked her curiously.
Duan Shu Xian"s face heated up. She wanted to nod, but chose to shake her head.
"You"re still young. Choose well. Open your eyes wide and choose. This choice is good. A happy life. A poor choice is a lifetime of misfortune."
"What"s good?" Duan Shu Xian curiously asked them because they were both married and had children.
"I have to say it! He who dotes on his wife is a good man! Otherwise, those with money, power, and not caring for your wife won"t do. "
"That"s right! You have to find a husband that will be very merciful. " In Duan Shu Xian"s mind, she recalled the scene where he smashed his foot on the bookshelf today. Did he feel sorry for her after what he did?
