Chapter 1181: Chapter 678: Resisting to the End_2
"Iâve grown up now, and your controlling me really is reasonable," Qin Yuan said. "Just because you control me now doesnât prove you wonât after I get married, what if I did get married?"
"Would it be right for you to still control me then? Itâs simply preposterous; I can only blame you for overreaching. Once this gets around, what will people think of you?"
"Itâs truly preposterous. I canât even imagine how ashamed Iâd feel if such things were spread about me."
Isnât it just unbearable shame?
Such gossip is indeed humiliating.
I really hope this kind of gossip doesnât get out.
Since I donât want it to happen, then I should cut it all off.
If the gossip doesnât spread, wouldnât that be great?
Upon hearing these words, Old Master Liuâs face grew solemn, he took a deep breath, and immediately said.
"What are you babbling about, girl? What do you mean Iâm too controlling? Youâre my daughter, and as your father, shouldnât I be responsible for you? Should I just stand by and do nothing?"
"I simply canât stand by and do nothing. There could be serious consequences if I didnât keep an eye on you. How could I bear to see my daughter make a big mistake!"
"Besides, if you were to get married, I definitely wouldnât control you anymore because, after all, youâd have your own husband to look after you."
Before he could finish, Liu Yue felt utterly speechless.
Expected to let her husband control her?
Being controlled by her own father was suffocating enough; to be controlled by a husband would be even worse, wouldnât it?
Isnât it like escaping one trap only to fall into another?
đđŁđđČđ°đđđ§đ đ§đđ.đđđș
What difference does that make in her life?
She had thought that marriage would free her from her fatherâs constraints, only to find herself entering another form of bondage under a husband.
The very thought was suffocating.
Could it be that she was supposed to live under someone elseâs control for her entire life?
Thinking this, Liu Yue became very dissatisfied and immediately said.
"Father, what exactly are you saying? Do you even know what youâre talking about? What do you mean I should let my husband discipline me after Iâm married?"
"Why should I let my husband dictate to me? I am an individual, I have my own freedom, so he has no right to control me. Who said that a woman has to be controlled by her husband once sheâs married?"
"Thatâs not a rule at all; itâs just your own stubborn belief. Why are you so obstinate?"
By this point, Liu Yue was quite irritated, took a deep breath, but still couldnât calm herself down.
Her father was really overstepping his bounds.
To even say such things.
She was extremely disappointed in her father.
How could she not be utterly disappointed?
This was her own father, not some stranger.
If a stranger had said these things, she wouldnât have felt any discomfort.
But these words were coming from her fatherâs mouth.
With that thought, Liu Yue felt even sadder.
Standing aside, Qin Yuan was shocked.
He had only just realized how intransigent Old Master Liuâs thoughts were.
It really shocked him.
He even expected Liu Yueâs future husband to discipline her.
Such a prospect was extremely oppressive for Liu Yue.
To think she had escaped the confines of her father, only to enter into the control of a husband.
How could she possibly be happy living a life within such confines?
It would be strange if she werenât depressed!
At that moment, Qin Yuan took a deep breath and said with emphasis.
"Old Master Liu, what youâre saying is really wrong. In fact, everyone is a free individual with their own thoughts, and should not be constrained by others."
"If they are controlled by others, it would lead to discomfort, and their soul would not be free. Then, every day would be lived in suffering."
"What difference is there between this and a prisoner? There really is no difference because they canât do what they want and are forced to do what they donât. Nobody would be happy."
Not to mention Liu Yue.
Even Old Master Liu himself would hardly be happy.
Liu Yueâs father had simply been imposing his own ideas onto her all along.
He had never considered whether Liu Yue was happy.
He just blindly believed that this approach was very good.
Thinking of this, Qin Yuan felt extremely helpless.
Wu Zeyuan also started to lose his patience and immediately said,
"Mr. Liu, think about it seriously, Liu Yue has been under your control since she was young, and itâs exactly because sheâs feeling extremely oppressed and utterly unhappy now that sheâs bringing this matter to you."
"But now youâre saying her future husband should control her too? What would that make her feel?"
"Has she finally escaped your constraints just to enter another? Wouldnât that mean she is forever living within constraints?"
In this way, itâs a lifetime of living in constraints.
Who can accept a life of constant suffering?
Nobody can.
Even prisoners canât stand it.
After all, apart from their inner torment, prisoners canât resist any other way, since they have made mistakes. Could they still voice their opinions?
Even if they did, would anyone listen?
At this moment, Wu Zeyuan took a deep breath and, with much emphasis, said,
"Is there really any difference from a prisoner? Could you accept living your life under someone elseâs restraints? Surely you couldnât, if you think about it."
"Then letâs conduct another experiment. Youâll be continuously controlled by your wife, and if you end up not feeling bothered by it, that would mean you are successful."
"But your success doesnât mean everyone will succeed; everyone has different tolerance levels. But if even you canât bear it, then why expect your daughter to?"
Letâs conduct another experiment now.
The only solution he could think of was this.
If there could be an experiment, that would be the best.
As time ticked by, not a flicker of expression crossed Mr. Liuâs face.
Qin Yuan felt that Wu Zeyuan had made an excellent point.
Now was a good time to propose an experiment, a great suggestion.
It was just unclear how Mr. Liu would perceive it.
He might reject it straight away.
After all, it seemed like something Mr. Liu would do.
At that moment, Jiang Qi collected his thoughts and immediately said,
"Wu Zeyuan, you actually came up with this idea, youâre really smart, arenât you? I hadnât been able to think of this method at all, but now that youâve said it,"
"I truly agree with the idea youâve come up with, so letâs conduct another experiment. As long as Mr. Liu can accept it, then we have nothing more to say."
"Although everyoneâs tolerance is different, if Mr. Liu can accept it, it proves heâs quite remarkable, and itâs because he has accepted it, that he believes any person can."
He didnât say the last part out loud.
But the implication was clear.
He believed that Mr. Liu could accept living a life in constraints, so he assumed that anyone could.
It was an understandable thought.
He was merely speaking out here.
He didnât actually agree with Mr. Liuâs approach in his heart.
He wanted Mr. Liu to hear these words and then take action.
If Mr. Liu could be moved to act, that would be the best outcome.
As time continued to slip away, Mr. Liu hadnât said a word, nor shown any expression.
Liu Yue, standing to the side, was quite shocked by their words.
She hadnât expected their values to be so passionate.
It seemed they were on her side every moment of every day.
As long as they were on her side, then everything was fine.
After all, she really couldnât agree with her fatherâs words.
If she had to live a life of suffering, sheâd rather not live at all.
She certainly wouldnât live a life of constraints forever.
No matter what, she had to resist, she couldnât choose to remain silent anymore, that would be too cowardly.
