229. Family Drama
"Tang Li, hide quickly..." Ever since Jiang Miao cheered, Jiang He became visibly impatient.
In the past, she always appeared very reserved when facing Tang Li, and at most would get closer when chatting, obviously not wanting to destroy their relationship with overly intimate actions.
But now she didn't care about these reservedness. She directly grabbed Tang Li's wrist, held her in her arms, and then hid in the closet.
"Wait, wait." Tang Li leaned against Jiang He's chest in confusion: "Xiao He, your parents are just here to visit. I'm your friend, why can't I meet them?"
Jiang He suddenly stopped moving, an embarrassed look appeared on his face.
Yes, she and Tang Li are just friends now. Even if her parents are very opposed to her sexual orientation, what does it have to do with Tang Li?
Just an explanation is enough, after all, Xiao Miao also knows about Tang Li's existence.
So why is she in a hurry?
Was it because she was worried that Tang Li would be misunderstood by her parents and treated unfairly, or was it because she subconsciously... placed Tang Li in a very important position that she wanted to protect?
These thoughts were running wildly through her mind, but she didn't show it on the surface. Instead, she scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Uh...my parents are quite opposed to my sexual orientation. I'm afraid they will misunderstand you and make a fool of themselves."
As to whether this is the reason, only she herself knows.
However, Tang Li did not choose to obey her. Instead, she looked straight into her eyes and said seriously, "Xiao He, running away will not work. Even if they don't find me now, what about in the future? Should I sever my relationship with you and Xiao Miao?"
"Besides, there's nothing between us, so I'm not afraid of them misunderstanding me."
"So what if it's a misunderstanding? Not to mention that I'm not your type, even if it is, they have no reason to stop me!"
"Don't worry, Xiaohe, I will help you!"
Looking at the resolute expression on Tang Li's beautiful face, Jiang He couldn't help but be stunned.
She had thought of countless ways that Tang Li could comfort her, but she had never thought that Tang Li would choose to stand by her side and face it together.
Tang Li was filled with the maternal love that she once hated so much, but when this maternal love really came to her, she was happy to accept it.
It was as if at that moment, she truly understood what it meant for an angel to descend upon me.
If her mother had stood by her side like Tang Li when she told her parents that she was coming out,
If her parents had not ignored her pleadings and resolutely chosen to hand over the huge company to her when she was still young, so that she could pursue her so-called dreams.
Then maybe the situation would be different?
It seems too late to think about these things now. There is no regret in life, but regret seems to run through the entire life.
Fortunately, there is someone willing to stand by her side now.
"Thank you." She held Tang Li's soft hand, her heart in a trance.
"You don't need to thank me, you should thank yourself." Tang Li said, "Because you have never given up on yourself."
"From the beginning to the end, you are Jiang He in your own eyes."
"Come on, let's go out and talk to your parents!"
……
At this time, the Jiang couple were sitting on the sofa in the hall, asking Jiang Miao about her well-being.
They are dressed fashionably and look young, as if the long river of time has not left any trace on their faces.
If Jiang He stood next to them, they might be considered brothers and sisters.
But they are truly Jiang He's parents, two prodigal sons who left their families to pursue their dreams.
Of course, it would be wrong to say that the passage of time has left no trace on them, after all, they are almost fifty years old now.
As they grow older, the most obvious characteristic they show is that they begin to "take care of the family."
They are no longer motivated by the bizarre life, but instead begin to fantasize about a happy and complete family and a life with their children lying on their laps listening to their stories.
After their dissolute life, they want to regain their position as masters of the family.
In order to achieve this goal, they took the first step - reclaiming their authority as elders.
"Miao Miao, Dad and I brought back so many toys for you, are you happy?"
The woman in a fashionable long skirt and with big wavy burgundy hair hugged Xiao Miao and said with a smile, with a proud tone in her voice.
After all, what she brought back for Jiang Miao were the most favorite gadgets that she and her husband collected during their travels, and as her daughter, she believed that Jiang Miao would definitely like them.
"I like……"
Jiang Miao lay in her mother's arms, but answered hesitantly.
In fact, she had no idea what those things her mother brought back were. They were strange and odd in shape. They were neither fun nor pretty.
If possible, she hopes that when she sees her parents rarely, she will receive a pair of dancing shoes or a beautiful dress as a gift.
Because she likes dancing.
But her parents never asked her what she liked, and she didn't dare to say it.
Yes, even though they are connected by blood, Jiang Miao, who is only a teenager... has become alienated and unfamiliar with her parents.
The Jiang couple were unaware of all this.
As if he noticed that his daughter was in a bad mood, Tian Yue frowned slightly. Just as he was about to ask something, he was attracted by the sound of the door opening behind him.
Annoyance welled up in her.
You finally decided to come out. I thought you were too embarrassed to even face your parents.
She turned her head, and the smile that had not yet appeared on her face froze, and anger was brewing in her eyes.
Because the person who came out of the room was not only her eldest daughter Jiang He, but also a girl who was young and beautiful, beautiful enough to make her jealous!
In a recent night talk between mother and daughter, Jiang He had just revealed his uniqueness to her, and she was furious about it!
But Jiang He actually dared to do such a thing in front of her!
Even though he had only been a parent for a few days, Tian Yue, after seeing this scene, still learned the art of using power to overwhelm others without any instruction.
She slammed the table, stood up, and shouted angrily at the two people who had just walked out: "Jiang He! You ungrateful bastard, do you want to piss me off to death?!"
"I just told you two days ago that you are not allowed to be a homosexual, and today you brought a woman home. Do you still have me as your mother in your eyes?"
"And this little slut, I don't care what your purpose is in approaching my daughter. Now, I demand that you leave immediately!"
Perhaps because Tian Yue's power generation came too suddenly, even Jiang Yan, who had been sitting nearby and watching silently, showed a surprised expression.
Perhaps he had never seen his wife look like this before.
But apart from standing up and gently comforting his emotional wife, he did not say a word for Jiang He or Tang Li.
Because he loved his wife deeply.
230. Remember to invite us when you and Xiaoli get married
Even though she knew that some parents were just being unreasonable, Tang Li was still stunned by Tian Yue's performance.
Without understanding or asking, he simply labeled his daughter's friend based on his own guesswork, completely disrespecting the child.
Even among unqualified parents, she is the worst of the worst.
If being a parent required a test, she probably never passed it.
And how could Tang Li, who had long regarded Jiang He as her friend, just watch Jiang He suffer injustice for no reason?
She frowned slightly and wanted to step forward to stop Tian Yue from continuing to generate electricity, but Jiang He quietly grabbed her wrist.
"Xiaohe..."
She looked at Jiang He beside her with some confusion, not understanding why she was stopping her.
But Jiang He shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay, I will take care of it."
She knew very well that once Tang Li stood up for her, all her mother's anger would be directed at this gentle and virtuous girl.
She didn't know whether Tang Li could argue with Tian Yue despite her saliva, but it didn't matter because she would never watch Tang Li being wronged in front of her.
Obviously, Tang Li and Jiang He ignored her reprimand and kept talking to themselves, which completely ignited Tian Yue's anger. She screamed almost hysterically: "Jiang He! Do you still have me as your mother in your eyes?"
"Have you said enough?"
Jiang He interrupted what Tian Yue was about to say without any hesitation. Her eyes contained the heartache of having a conflict with her parents, as well as the determination to express her own ideas.
The thoughts that she had buried deep in her heart for various reasons could no longer be suppressed at this moment and she wanted to express them.
"You keep calling me mother. When have you ever been my mother?"
"Or do you think that just because you gave birth to me, you are worthy of being my mother?"
"Since I was five years old, you and dad abandoned me to pursue your so-called dream."
"You knew that grandpa favored boys over girls, but you still threw me to him."
"I had to be forced to receive an education in corporate management while other kids were playing with their friends."
“I had to be someone I wasn’t.”
"Even though I have tried very hard, my grandfather has never given me a good look."
"Because he thinks you are the evil that led his son astray, and I am just a byproduct of the evil!"
"Do you understand the torture, cold stares and ridicule I have endured since I was a child?"
"Do you think I'll thank you for giving me life?"
Jiang He clenched his fists tightly, and there was no blood at all on his knuckles.
There were tears in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall. Instead, she gritted her teeth and trembled as she looked at Tian Yue, who had fallen into a daze, and spoke slowly, enunciating each word.
"No, I hate you."
"I hate you for giving birth to me!"
Jiang He's voice was not loud, but the emotion contained in it moved everyone present.
Jiang Yan looked at his daughter silently, and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
Jiang He seems to be confronting Tian Yue, but isn't he also slapping him in the face?
It should be him as the father who should take over the company and shoulder the burden of the family.
But what has he been doing all these years?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan's pupils shrank slightly. He looked at Jiang He's somewhat unfamiliar face, and then looked at Jiang Miao, who was hiding in Tang Li's arms because he was scared because of the quarrel between his mother and sister.
He wanted to reach out and call his little daughter over, but Jiang Miao subconsciously dodged, with an unconcealable alienation in her eyes.
He suddenly realized that his daughter was not even as close to him as an outsider.
At that moment, he regretted it.
"You and I……"
Tian Yue opened and closed his mouth, but could not utter any words.
Because Jiang He had blocked all the words she wanted to say.
After all, her greatest reliance was that Jiang He was born by her and it was she who gave Jiang He life. It was precisely because of this that she took it for granted that Jiang He should listen to her and do things according to her ideas.
But Jiang He said she hated being born by her.
She had already reached the point of hatred, so what reason did she have to ask Jiang He to listen to her?
The grace of raising her? But she had never paid attention to Jiang He's life, and didn't even know where she was studying, let alone educating and guiding her.
Suddenly, she felt a strong sense of unwillingness. Without the grace of raising her, did she not even have the qualifications to stand here? !
