Chapter 254 - "What is it that you want to do?" (3)
“Yes, a girl will get married at some point in their lives but that with their own consent. You, on the other hand, are trying to force her into a marriage. You had birthed and raised her, but she is not a personal property of yours. Your child is an individual and she is already over 18 years of age. She has control over her own decisions.”
Even though Yingying’s parents had already accepted Li Guowei’s money but Yingying hasn’t married him just yet. As such, they had not yet broken the law. The cops, nevertheless, detained Yingying’s parents along with Li Guowei for 5 days as a warning.
When they walked out and saw the crying Yingying, Mother Yingying wanted to lung at her and hit her. “You unfamilial girl. How dare you called the cops on your own parents. Had I know, I never would have given birth to you.”
“What are you trying to do here? Hit someone inside the police station?”
“No, no. Of course not. Her mother is just too emotional is all. Even if we are in the wrong, she was still very emotional for being taken to the police station through the hands of her own daughter,” said Father Yingying mildly as he stopped his wife. The way his was looking at Yingying was still very intimidating though.
Shu Yan could see the struggle in Yingying’s eyes. That was normal. As much as they had been awful to her, they were still her parents after all.
Shu Yan was just about to say something when a man came dashing inside and raised his fist at Yingying when he saw her, but was stopped by one of the cops nearby.
“You still call yourself a person? Dad and Mom had raised you till adulthood and you had them arrested?”
“I should be the one asking you how do you call yourself a person. You are the one who needs to have a house to get married. You wanted to use the money that you are going to sell your sister for instead of earning your own. How do you live with yourself?” Shu Yan protected Yingying. “What am I talking about. Your conscience was fed to dogs a long time ago.”
“This is my family matters. It is none of your business. Had my sister not worked at your place, she would never be like this,” said that man as he stared at Shu Yan viciously.
“Watch yourself. Unless you want to be locked up also,” said the cop as he patted him on his head.
Yingying’s brother finally calmed down but the way he was looking at Yingying wasn’t particularly friendly.
Both of them were quiet on their way back. When Yingying had calmed down, Shu Yan said to her, “Your parents most likely still insist that they are in the right even now. They might lay low for a little bit for a little while but they will try things again over time. Do you want to move your household register out from under them?”
“Of course I want to. Problem is that I am not married nor do I own my own place. I will not be able to move my household register out from under them.” Not to mention that her mother had confiscated her ident.i.ty card.
“Truth to told, your continue working at my place is not a solution.” Seeing that Yingying was nervous, Shu Yan said, “Especially that brother of yours. I don’t think he is going to let this go. What do you think about moving? Say, maybe out of City Nan?”
“I have never stepped foot out of City Nan my entire life. Where can I go?” asked Yingying looking at loss.
“I started a company with a friend of mine and planned on setting up branches in Capital City and City Yang. If you are willing, pick one of the two locations and I will have someone make the arrangements for you. That being said, you have only graduated junior high school so it will not be a very high up position. You have two options. You can choose to keep selling clothes, and that will be with the Xianxue undergarment you see across the street from us. You will probably make a little bit more than what you are making right now and the benefits are quite good as well. Work hard and you might be able to become the store manager one day. After that will be the level of a regional manager. Alternatively, you can be a human resource specialist at the office. You might not make as much but you will be able to learn a lot, and there will also be more room to grow. You can become a human resource manager one day and then maybe even director of human resource. Granted, your path of working in a shop is not limited to becoming a store manager. You can also open up your own shop as well.” Shu Yan felt that this little girl is an ambitious and hardworking one, and she was also willing to become independent right now. As such, Shu Yan would be happy to provide her with an opportunity.
Yingying looked at Shu Yan with her eyes filled with tears. Sniffling, she said, “I will go to City Yang, as a store clerk, then a store manager. Then I want to franchise your company, Boss Lady, and become a part of your team.”
