Chapter 642 Mother-Daughter Conflict
"Dad, didn't you say last week that you were going to move back? Why haven't you done anything yet?" Qiao Yingzi asked after a moment of hesitation.
"Who said that! Dad has already taken action!" Qiao Weidong thought Yingzi was looking forward to his coming, and said excitedly.
It turned out that Xiao Meng broke up with Qiao Weidong last week, and Qiao Weidong immediately told Yingzi that he was going to move back to Shuxiang Yayuan, which made Yingzi very "happy".
Qiao Weidong then continued:
"I'm telling you, this is a series of actions. The previous tenant just left and didn't take good care of the furniture, so I have to clean up the house!"
"You said that this house has been rented out for such a long time, the walls should be repainted! The floor should be re-laid! Shouldn't the furniture be replaced as well?"
Qiao Weidong took out his phone and showed Yingzi the renovation team information:
"It won't be long before it's done, and I'll move in then!"
Yingzi took a look and knew that Qiao Weidong was not lying. She thought about how she often went to the eighth floor with Lin Hao. If this secret base was discovered, it would be a disaster!
Yingzi thought for a moment, then advised carefully:
"Dad, I don't think you need to move back. You know my mom's temper. If she finds out, she'll definitely cause trouble for us!"
"What are you talking about, kid? Don't you want your dad to move back home?" Qiao Weidong asked pretending to be unhappy.
"No, the main thing is~!" Yingzi didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing Yingzi's hesitant look, he thought his daughter was really worried about the relationship between him and Song Qian. After thinking for a while, he motioned Yingzi to come over.
"Yingzi, I want to tell you something!" Qiao Weidong then said to Yingzi mysteriously, "I want to remarry your mother and reunite our family!"
"Ah~!" Yingzi's eyes widened when she heard this, she touched Qiao Weidong's forehead, then looked at Qiao Weidong in disbelief and said:
"Dad, you don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense~!"
"Who is kidding you?" Qiao Weidong said seriously:
"In fact, after all these years, I still can't forget your mother, and I can't bear to leave you, so I want to give you a complete family again!"
Qiao Yingzi still felt a little unbelievable, so she asked again:
"Then what are you going to do with Aunt Xiao Meng? She's been dating you for four years, how come she's letting you go?"
Qiao Weidong thought of the gentle and kind Xiao Meng, and said with some emotion:
"I had a frank talk with her. She knows that I want to give you a complete family, so I broke up with your Aunt Xiaomeng peacefully!"
Qiao Yingzi's mind was a little confused at this time, and she had become accustomed to not having her father around over the years. Not long ago, she gave herself to her boyfriend Lin Hao, and her relationship with her mother also eased.
So many things have happened during this period of time that I don’t know what to say for the moment. I feel that these things are too complicated and I don’t know how to deal with them.
At this time, Qiao Weidong whispered to Yingzi:
"Yingzi, you have to keep this a secret for me. Don't tell your mother yet. Otherwise, you know her personality, and you never know what kind of trouble she might do!"
Things were going beyond her imagination. She was actually very happy that her parents had reunited and could give her a complete home.
The only thing she was afraid of was being discovered by her parents that she was dating Lin Hao. They would explode on the spot. It was terrifying just thinking about it!
Qiao Yingzi realized that it was getting late, so she said to Qiao Weidong:
"Dad, you go back first. My mom is doing yoga and should be back soon. Don't let her catch us again!"
"Okay, Dad will go back first!" Qiao Weidong looked at the time. According to his estimation, Song Qian would be back in about ten minutes, so he said:
"Then I'll go back first. Don't worry, Yingzi. Just wait for our family reunion!" After saying goodbye to Yingzi, he left.
As a result, Qiao Weidong took the elevator and stopped on the first floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, he saw Song Qian and three others standing at the elevator door, and Qiao Weidong was blocked.
Seeing this, Song Qian immediately knew that she had confirmed that she would meet her daughter alone. Thinking that she had been pestering her frequently during this period of time, she immediately became furious and shouted:
"Qiao Weidong, why are you here again? We agreed before that you can't..."
Afterwards, Song Qian launched a powerful attack, and Qiao Weidong was scolded by Song Qian, and almost became autistic.
After Qiao Weidong broke up with Xiao Meng, he started looking for opportunities to pester Song Qian, and from time to time he would get close to Song Qian to make his presence felt.
He's had enough of hanging out alone outside, and now he decides to turn over a new leaf. He wants to return to his family and make up for the fatherly love that he has not been able to give to Yingzi over the years~!
However, now is not the time to confess to Song Qian. According to Qiao Weidong's plan, he has to get closer to Song Qian step by step and let her adapt to his presence again.
In short, he has a complete plan that will ensure he can get Song Qian back.
The key is that Qiao Yingzi also hopes that they can get back together and give her a complete home, but Qiao Weidong has been using this incident as an excuse, trying to use a series of means to make Song Qian accept him again!
However, what Qiao Weidong didn't know was that Song Qian did love him in her heart before, but she was hurt too deeply by Qiao Weidong.
In addition, Song Qian has been with Lin Hao for a long time, and under the influence of Lin Hao, she will become increasingly cold towards Qiao Weidong.
Therefore, everything Qiao Weidong did was doomed to be in vain, and it was definitely impossible to get back together!
Looking at Qiao Weidong who was fleeing in a panic, Lin Hao shook his head and went home directly. He could imagine what Yingzi would face after Song Qian returned home.
Sure enough, after Song Qian returned home, she didn't say anything at first, nor did she mention meeting her father on the stairs.
When he came to Yingzi's room and saw Yingzi writing something in the room, he asked calmly:
"Yingzi, did the teacher give you homework again?"
As he said that, he walked to Yingzi, looked at what Yingzi was doing, and then his expression became a little displeased!
Qiao Yingzi didn't notice Song Qian's look and said indifferently:
"I've finished my homework. There's an event at the Space Museum next Saturday. I'm the tour guide. I need to prepare the PPT for the tour!"
Seeing Yingzi's concentration, she felt a little bit reluctant, but she felt uncomfortable when she thought about Yingzi meeting Qiao Weidong behind her back.
In a fit of anger, Song Qian said:
"Yingzi, stop for a moment. Mom wants to say something to you!"
However, Yingzi may have had a better life recently, so her vigilance has been somewhat reduced, so she kept writing and said casually:
"Oh, go ahead, I'm listening!"
Seeing Yingzi's indifferent look, Song Qian felt angry. She took a deep breath and said:
"Look, you worked as a docent in the planetarium your entire sophomore year. Mom has always supported you!"
"Oh no~!" As soon as Song Qian opened her mouth, Qiao Yingzi paused with the pen in her hand, and then became secretly alert.
Sure enough, Song Qian continued with a fake smile:
"Mom knows that space travel is your dream, and I am willing to support you, but now you are in the third year of high school, so let's not go to the planetarium. It really wastes too much time!"
This was the attitude she had when her mother was in a tense relationship before. She was afraid that something was wrong, and then she looked up at Song Qian.
And Song Qian continued:
"Look, your planetarium doesn't need someone like you, a senior high school student who is about to take the college entrance examination!" "No, I've been giving lectures for a year, so why can't I go? It hasn't affected my studies!"
Yingzi's mind exploded, and that oppressive feeling came back. It was the same old thing that she couldn't let it affect her studies, and she couldn't be distracted for the college entrance examination!
Sure enough, Song Qian said with "sincere and heartfelt feelings":
"But that was the second year of high school. You are already a third year now. Can the intensity of study in the second year of high school be compared with that in the third year? And going to the planetarium will affect your studies!"
"You're just in your third year of high school. You'll know in a while. Even if you were given the chance to go to the planetarium, you wouldn't have the energy to go!"
"Okay, it's settled. Ask for leave from the planetarium and focus on your studies!" Song Qian said expressionlessly, and then prepared to leave Yingzi's room.
Seeing how authoritarian Song Qian was, Yingzi's temper also flared up, but fortunately she hadn't lost her mind yet, so she didn't confront her head on, but instead presented facts and reasoned with her.
"But this is really important. This is a lecture about my country's Chang'e lunar exploration project. This is my hobby, and you know that!"
"If you say you won't go now, then where can we find someone to help the planetarium?"
"Hey, the planetarium won't work without you?" Song Qian raised her eyebrows and said in a teasing tone: "I know, are you embarrassed to ask for leave?"
"Then how about this, give me the contact's number and I'll ask for leave for you, okay?"
Seeing Song Qian's weird look, Yingzi also got angry and couldn't help but retort:
"Mom, can you please not be like this? My life cannot be just about studying. This is my hobby. You can't take away my only remaining hobby!"
Seeing Yingzi's unhappy face, Song Qian pulled Yingzi's chair to the bedside, and then said gently:
"Yingzi, I know you're unhappy that mom doesn't let you go to the planetarium, but if you're unhappy, I'm not happy either!"
"You are already in your third year of high school. You should have appropriate hobbies, but you keep meeting with your dad every other day, tinkering with astronomical telescopes and Lego all day, and even working as a tour guide at a planetarium. How are you going to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University in the future?"
"Mom didn't use your senior year of high school to hold your life hostage, but if you can't do well in the college entrance examination, what's the point of having a life?"
Yingzi finally knew what the problem was. For some reason, she felt a desire for destruction.
Although Yingzi just sat there motionless, staring at Song Qian's mouth with lifeless eyes, she kept muttering.
As for what Song Qian said later, she could no longer listen to it and didn't care what she said!
Song Qian talked for a long time, and then she realized that Yingzi didn't respond, so she turned Yingzi's chair around and asked her:
"Yingzi, do you feel that your mother is too strict with you and has too high expectations?"
Seeing that Yingzi still didn't respond, he took Yingzi's hand and asked excitedly:
"Yingzi, do you think your mother is against you?"
"Yingzi, you are my daughter, you are the most important person to me!"
"Our life ideals should be the same!"
"Didn't we agree?"
"You have to work hard to get into NASA, right?"
However, at this moment, Yingzi didn't even have the mind to refute Song Qian. Lin Hao's words before emerged in her mind. She was considering whether to fight poison with poison and fall in front of them!
But then she thought of Lin Hao's warning that she shouldn't use this method before she was fully prepared. Unless she could let go of all her sympathy, pity, and love for her parents, she would definitely fail!
At this time, Song Qian finally became anxious. She was afraid of losing her daughter Yingzi. She gave all her love to Yingzi. Now Yingzi's attitude made her very worried!
Then Song Qian thought of what Lin Hao had said before:
"Being guided by interests, work, life and study should be done in moderation. The most taboo is coercion, dogmatism and inflexibility!"
At this moment, Song Qian felt extremely regretful. She shouldn't have deliberately taken her anger out on Yingzi just because Qiao Weidong met Yingzi.
It’s all the fault of that damn Qiao Weidong~!
Thinking about how their mother-daughter relationship had been getting increasingly harmonious before, but now it had suddenly become stiff because Qiao Weidong met Yingzi privately, she didn't know what to do for a moment.
He wanted to ease the relationship with Yingzi, but he didn't know where to start. He couldn't just refuse Yingzi from going to the planetarium and then go back on his word!
What if Yingzi forces her to compromise like this every time in the future? Thinking of this, Song Qian decided to let time heal everything, and then she would have a good talk with Yingzi in a day or two.
"Then Yingzi, just do your homework well and mom won't bother you anymore!" After saying that, Song Qian left Yingzi's room, looking back every two steps.
Yingzi didn't even look at the test paper on the table. She really wanted to talk to Lin Hao!
But Yingzi knew that as soon as she went out, her mother, who was always paying attention to her, would find out immediately.
Yingzi felt very tired at this time and it was already very late, so she decided to wait until tomorrow to talk to Lin Hao and ask him to help her find a solution.
What she didn't know was that Lin Hao knew everything that happened between her and Song Qian through his mental marking!
next day
When Lin Hao came to the classroom, he found Qiao Yingzi lying on the table in a depressed mood, obviously still worried about what happened last night.
So Lin Hao stepped forward and asked with concern:
"Yingzi, what's wrong? You look so unhappy!"
Qiao Yingzi looked up and saw Lin Hao. A look of surprise flashed across her pretty face, but soon turned into desolation:
"Hey, my mom found out about my dad coming to see me yesterday, so my plan to be a docent at the planetarium this weekend is ruined!"
"I begged my mother for a long time, but she just wouldn't agree to my request. Even when I said it was my last time, she still wouldn't budge. I'm almost dying of worry."
Lin Hao understood in his heart that Song Qian happened to meet Qiao Weidong last night. He remembered that in the original drama, Yingzi had a good show with Song Qian and Qiao Weidong in order to go to the planetarium.
But now, with him here, naturally nothing will happen, because these difficulties have already been resolved invisibly.
Lin Hao revealed a mysterious smile and said:
"You're going to be a docent at the planetarium. That should be Saturday, right?"
Qiao Yingzi replied in confusion:
"Yeah? What's the matter? Do you have any solution?"
Lin Hao pinched Qiao Yingzi's little face and said:
"Since it's this Saturday, then it's fine. Your mother happens to have something to do this Saturday, so you can just go without worrying about it. Just remember to go home early in the evening!"
Qiao Yingzi glanced at Lin Hao suspiciously: "How do you know my mother has something to do this Saturday?"
