Chapter 1157: Chapter 666 Suppressed for Too Long_2
"In my eyes, youâre not open-minded at all, youâre very conservative, and you simply canât adapt. You donât try to think from my perspective either. If you were me and I constantly micromanaged you, not allowing you to do what you want to do but forcing you to follow my ideas instead, would you be happy?"
She had a point.
Her father was indeed not open-minded at all, truly very conservative.
How could he not be conservative?
Her father never thought about changing his own ideas.
Isnât that the definition of being conservative?
But her father wouldnât think so.
Thinking this, Liu Yue continued the earlier topic, "I suppose you wouldnât be happy either, after all, youâre a very opinionated person, and nobody can control what you do. Then why do you try to control me so much? Donât I have my own opinions?"
"I am very opinionated, I have always been, and now you will probably say that I have no opinions of my own, but who strangled my opinions in the cradle? It was because you strangled them from the beginning, so now when you ask me what I like, I canât even speak up."
"From childhood, whenever you asked what I liked, I used to express my preferences, but then you would always have a counterargument. Like when you asked what color clothes I liked, I said I liked white, and you said that white gets dirty easily, so you bought me pink and black clothes instead."
At that point, Liu Yueâs emotions started to crumble, and her eyes turned red.
She had never spoken these words before.
Not even to her own mother.
But she never imagined she would one day say them in this way.
This was truly a hurdle in her heart.
Though she had just taken the first step, mentioning it again felt like she couldnât get over this hurdle.
With that thought, Liu Yue took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, and then slowly said, "To this day, there isnât a single white piece of clothing in my wardrobe. When you ask what I like to eat, I say I like fries, and then you say that they are fried and not healthy at all."
"So, you just donât let me eat them, but do you think that means I have never eaten them? Iâve secretly eaten them many times behind your back. You are really too strict with me."
"The things you donât want me to do, Iâve done them all in secret. And you really try to control me way too much, you even wish I wouldnât leave your sight, always within your field of view!"
As soon as her words dropped, Liu Yueâs emotions were on the verge of collapse.
She even crouched down and started crying, hugging her head.
She felt very aggrieved.
"Why do you have to treat me like this? You control me like this, are you happy inside? But am I happy? Since childhood, have you ever asked if I am happy? You never even considered this question."
"After all, in your eyes, a child who is looked after by their parents is very fortunate, but in reality, I am not happy at allâI feel suffocated. Though I have never told you, this feeling has always been there in my heart, I just never told you until today."
"Even though I have told you all this, you probably donât think you are wrong, and you wonât change. I know you too well, though I understand you, I still bravely took this step today."
As she spoke, Liu Yue felt even more wronged and continued crying.
Her crying was loud enough to attract the attention of the people around her.
Their faces were all marked with extremely surprised expressions.
"Whatâs happening here? Why is this young lady crying?"
"I donât know what happened, I just heard her crying here."
"What should we do now? Should we console her?"
"Letâs just wait and see how things unfold, and not make a fool of ourselves."
"This young lady looks really pretty, just watching her cry openly, I really canât bear it."
"Oh, come on, you stop saying these things. What can your sympathy do? You canât possibly solve all her problems for her."
Before their voices had even faded, they had already turned indifferent.
Qin Yuan was shocked when he heard what Liu Yue had said.
He never knew Liu Yueâs childhood had been like that.
He thought Mr. Liu was just preventing her from doing something.
He hadnât expected there to be even more issues.
The control was indeed too strict and really oppressive.
Fortunately, Liu Yue was mentally strong; otherwise, she would have been overwhelmed long ago.
It seemed Mr. Liu still hadnât realized his mistakes.
If he had, you wouldnât have spoken like that just now.
It looked like he needed to persuade Mr. Liu later on.
A moment later, Qin Yuan quickly squatted down, gently patted Liu Yueâs back, and said, "Didnât we just tell you? No matter what happens, we will stand by your side unconditionally. Since weâve said this, we definitely wonât let you down."
"And youâve been crying for quite a while. You really canât keep crying. If you donât stop, itâs really going to make you feel very miserable, especially since youâve drunk so much and have been sobbing. Youâre just making it hard to breathe."
"You might convulse. Listen to me, please, stop crying. I know you feel desperate right now, but we are all here."
Qin Yuan paused for two seconds, then added firmly, "We said weâd help resolve the issue, and we will find a way to resolve it. Weâll also do our utmost to persuade Mr. Liu not to be so strict."
If they couldnât completely fix the issue, they at least needed to ensure Mr. Liu wasnât so strict.
Now it all depended on what Liu Yue was thinking.
Liu Yue still hadnât stopped; she was probably crying the whole time.
It must be terribly painful; how could it not be?
After all, she had been through such an ordeal her whole life; no one could pretend nothing had happened.
At that moment, Jiang Qi slowly said, "Liu Yue, heâs right. You really canât keep crying. Continuing to cry will only make you feel worse. Youâre only hurting yourself; why do you want to harm yourself?"
"Anyone can fail to love you, but you must love yourself. If you want others to love you, you must first love yourself. Thatâs fundamental."
"If you keep crying, you might really start convulsingâtaking into account how intensely youâre crying, you really shouldnât continue like this. Please, listen to my advice!"
He was genuinely shocked when he heard how controlling Mr. Liu had been.
Liu Yue had really suffered.
Being repressed like that from a very young age must be incredibly painful.
The next moment, Wu Zeyuanâs eyes became somewhat vacant.
He had never imagined Liu Yue had been through so much.
Liu Yue definitely hadnât told them everything.
She must have only shared a fraction of it.
She was truly miserable.
He had thought his troubles were just like his interactions with Liu Yue; now he realized Liu Yue had suffered even more wrongs than him.
Wasnât it indeed more than he had suffered?
Just then, Wu Zeyuan took a deep breath and slowly said, "Liu Yue, we know your heart is in pain, but please hold your tears for a moment, letâs have a proper conversation."
"If it really becomes unbearable, then letâs go talk to Mr. Liu. Besides, weâve already mentioned, with us here, you donât need to worry."
