Chapter 222 Father and Daughter Have a Heart-to-Heart Talk
However, if this expense exceeds the narrow and stubborn consumption mindset of the groom's parents, they will relentlessly criticize and condemn it.
It seems that in some people's fixed mindset, once a girl marries into their family, everything that the woman owns, including money, rightfully becomes the common property of their family.
Even more appalling situations exist. Sometimes, when faced with a choice between money and people, some people believe that a person's body or even life is far less important than money.
My dear child, I sincerely hope that you will never have to face such a difficult and disheartening problem in the future. Can you truly understand the profound meaning behind my heartfelt words?
Hearing this, Zhao Zhaodi nodded slightly and responded in a voice so soft it was almost imperceptible:
"Ah."
This simple response showed that she had deeply engraved her father's heartfelt words in her heart.
"Zhaodi, your father sincerely hopes that your future path will be smooth and successful."
You are free to do whatever brings you joy, anytime and anywhere.
Even after you get married, you can still live the life you dream of, just like you would in our warm family home.
As for our family business, Dad will absolutely not put any pressure on you regarding whether you are willing to take it over in the future.
If you are genuinely interested in business and willing to take over our family business and continuously develop and expand it, that will naturally become Dad's biggest wish!
However, Dad doesn't want to force you or your sisters to make any decisions they don't want to make.
After all, our family's existing businesses are already large enough to reliably support the four of you sisters in bravely pursuing what you truly desire in your hearts.
Moreover, Dad is still young and strong, and has the energy to continue personally managing all the affairs of the company.
If none of you four little girls are interested in doing business, then your father will entrust our family business to professional and reliable people to manage it carefully.
In this way, even without your direct involvement in management, you can still live a stable, prosperous, happy and fulfilling life!
Zhaodi, the reason your father has been rambling on and on with you today is simply to make you understand:
No matter what situation you face, you will always be the one with enough confidence and strong ability to choose your own unique path in life.
So please remember this: you must learn to take good care of yourself! Because in this world, you are the most important person.
Dad doesn't want to see you compromise yourself for anyone else, not even if that person is Dad, Mom, or me!
Dad continued earnestly:
"Zhaodi, you're an adult now. If you meet someone who makes your heart flutter and want to start dating, Dad will support you. However, you must keep your eyes wide open, stay clear-headed, and approach this matter of love rationally!"
Zhao Zhaodi walked obediently alongside her father, quietly listening to his nagging.
From childhood to adulthood, her father has rarely spoken to her as much as he has today.
Since I was 10 years old, my father has been busy with his career all day long, especially in recent years, he has been so busy that he often can't even come home.
However, during her senior year of high school, her father seemed to suddenly press the pause button. He not only personally picked her up and dropped her off at school almost every day, but also would always take her and her younger sister Zhaolaidi out for a walk whenever the weather was sunny.
Although Zhao Zhaodi could not fully grasp the deeper meaning of what her father had just said, she knew very well that her father's earnest advice stemmed entirely from his love and concern for her.
At the same time, she also vaguely sensed that her father, who was very observant, might have noticed the subtle feelings between her and her male classmate.
So Zhao Zhaodi nodded solemnly and replied:
"Dad, don't worry, I've remembered everything! I will think it over carefully and will never compromise myself easily. If I really decide to date one day, I will definitely bring the other person home to meet you and Mom as soon as possible before officially establishing a relationship. Only after I have your approval and consent will I continue to date him."
"Well, Zhaodi, Dad isn't against you dating. Dad's just worried you might meet bad people, especially those with extreme personalities and ulterior motives. But no matter what, whenever you encounter any difficulties, Mom and Dad will always stand behind you and be your strongest support!"
Zhao Yuan said earnestly.
After honestly recounting the incident, Zhao Yuan felt a huge weight lifted from his heart, and his mood lightened and brightened.
"By the way, we have to go back to school next week to estimate our scores and fill out college applications. Zhaodi, what do you think? Should we invite our good friends over for dinner this weekend, or wait until the results come out before having a get-together?"
Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.
Zhao Zhaodi lowered her head shyly and answered softly:
"Oh, Dad, you're overthinking it! The boy who went to the library with me is named Chen Runping. We're just ordinary classmates right now, we haven't even started dating yet."
"Oh, I see. Dad understands now. Do you know exactly where they live?"
Zhao Yuan then asked.
"Hmm... I've heard him mention it before. It seems to be near the textile factory dormitory. His parents both work at the textile factory."
Zhao Zhaodi recalled.
"Okay, Dad is very grateful that you were able to tell me this important information."
Now, Zhaodi, can you tell Dad in detail what aspects you admire about him? Or what qualities in him deeply attract you? Let's have a good chat.
Thinking back to those days, your mother and I were classmates! We fell in love back in junior high. At that time, I was most attracted to your mother's beautiful face, kind heart, and intelligent mind.
She was always so understanding, and no matter what mistakes I made, she could unconditionally forgive all my shortcomings.
