Chapter 55 Submission and Indulgence
9 p.m.
Shuxiangyayuan, downstairs of No. 5.
Qiao Yingzi said coquettishly: "Dad, you're already here, so come up and sit down!"
Chen Tao wondered: "Your mother doesn't welcome me, how can I get up there?"
When Qiao Yingzi heard this, she immediately looked at her mother.
Song Qian asked back: "I didn't welcome you before, didn't you come up secretly?"
Chen Tao said matter-of-factly: "If you are at home, then you make the decision. I will go up and get your consent. If you are not at home, then Yingzi will make the decision. As long as she agrees, I can go up."
Song Qian raised her eyebrows and emphasized:
"Whether I'm at home or not, I'm in charge of this home!"
After saying that, he pulled Qiao Yingzi upstairs.
"Dad, let's see you on the weekend"
Qiao Yingzi didn't resist, smiled and waved to his father.
Chen Tao nodded with a smile and turned around to go home.
At this moment, Wang Qing and her daughter Wang Yidi came over.
"Hey, Lao Qiao, why don't you come up and sit down?"
"I am persona non grata, how can I go up there!"
After saying this with a smile, Chen Tao asked curiously:
"You came back so late. Did you go to make up lessons with Di Di?"
Wang Qing sighed: "Yes, there will be professional exams soon, and Di Di's time is also spent on professional classes, and her grades in cultural classes have fallen a lot, so she has to be sent to make up classes whenever she has time."
Although this midterm exam brought Wang Yidi back to the parallel class.
But her grades in cultural classes were actually enough.
It's just that this girl is very proud and is not satisfied with staying in the parallel class, so she wants to improve her grades by taking extra classes.
However, in the original plot, the tutor Wang Qing found for her daughter was Fang Yifan's cousin Lin Lei'er, a top student.
In this world, perhaps because of the influence of Fang Yifan's fight, Wang Qing also had opinions about the Fang family.
In fact, the Ji family and the Fang family have almost no contact with each other.
After the incident happened, Ji Shengli had no chance to make amends, so he would not force Ji Yangyang to write a self-criticism, which would lead to accusations from his son and make the relationship between father and son very tense.
Now, he has gradually changed his mentality and plans to put his work aside and focus on his son.
And Ji Yangyang didn't think that his father was an official fan. Instead, he felt that Fang Yifan was wrong and it affected the career that his father had worked hard for most of his life.
In this way, let alone becoming good friends, he and Fang Yifan would be restrained if the [Third Spring Breeze Middle School Battle] broke out.
Chen Tao looked at Wang Yidi and sincerely blessed:
"Since the professional art exam will begin soon, my uncle would like to wish you the first place in Beijing Film Academy's professional exam and leave the second place far behind."
This girl’s target university is only Beijing Film Academy.
With a smile in his eyes, Wang Yidi said softly: "Thank you, uncle"
Wang Qing also smiled happily.
As a parent, who doesn’t want others to praise their children?
Chen Tao looked at the time and said:
"It's not too early now, so I'll take the first step and we'll talk when we have time."
Wang Qing smiled and warned: "Pay attention to safety on the road."
Wang Yidi also waved: "Goodbye, uncle"
On the way, Miss Lin suddenly sent a video invitation.
After connecting, she saw her uncle driving and couldn't help but curiously said:
"It's so late, uncle, why aren't you home yet?"
Chen Tao explained with a smile: "I went out to eat tonight and ran into Song Qian and Tong Wenjie. They took the initiative to sit opposite me, which seemed a bit unkind. I had an idea and asked Yingzi to help me with my punches to avoid being attacked by them. A pincer offensive. After finishing this meal, I sent Yingzi back to Shuxiangyayuan, and I am rushing home now."
Miss Lin joked: "Is it so late at night to let you go back? Didn't Yingzi try to persuade you to stay?"
Chen Tao said plausibly: "Of course Yingzi tried to stay, but I didn't agree. Why? Of course it's because I'm afraid you might misunderstand."
After hearing this, Miss Lin laughed so hard she couldn't stand up: "Giggle...Uncle, I really miss you now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to fall asleep later. So, you have to tell me stories and coax me tonight." I fall asleep."
Chen Tao has no foreign language class tonight, so he will naturally agree to Miss Lin's request and tell her a bizarre story about a certain janitor...
***
Wednesday.
There was heavy fog in the early morning, so Chen Tao was in no hurry to go to the company.
At around 9:30, Qiao Yingzi called.
"Dad I just read the admission brochure for the NTU Winter Camp and I really want to participate. Do you support me?"
You have so many people supporting you, it’s enough without me...
Chen Tao asked back: "What's the use of my support? If your mother doesn't agree, can you still argue and resist her decision?"
Qiao Yingzi said coquettishly: "Can't you help persuade her? Please dad! I really want to go!"
Chen Tao thought about it seriously, but still didn't agree to this girl. Otherwise, he would have to help her like this in the future, and he wouldn't be able to survive by then?
He said matter-of-factly: "Of course I am willing to help you. But it is really difficult for me to convince your mother on this matter. Only if you take the initiative to fight for it and I help you can you try to make your mother compromise. And you In the future, when you choose a university, you have to take the initiative to fight for it, so that I can help you. Otherwise, if you just rely on me to say it, your mother can completely ignore me."
Qiao Yingzi sighed: "Dad, I understand everything you said, but if I confess to my mother, she will definitely be sad. I can't tell her clearly!"
If you stay in the club, you want to make money, but you don’t want to contribute... I lose it!
Chen Tao also sighed and said: "You think you are very sensible, but in fact? The more you obey your mother, the less she can tolerate you leaving her control. Your obedience is nothing more than connivance to her, and it is destined not to happen. Good results.”
Qiao Yingzi was silent.
She is a top student and very smart. After hearing these words, she naturally knows that what her father said is right... But over the years, she has become accustomed to obeying Song Qian. How can she change it at a moment's notice?
She simply couldn't open her mouth.
Chen Tao pointed it out directly: "How much do you want to go to the astronomy department of NTU out of your love for studying the universe, and how much is out of the desire to escape from your mother's control? Don't blame dad for being too direct, Yingzi, Escape can't solve the problem. The problem still exists. Do you believe it, even if you go to Jinling, your mother will still follow you?"
In the original plot, Song Qian was willing to let Qiao Yingzi go to Jinling for only two reasons: first, she was afraid that her daughter's depression would relapse, and second, she had Qiao Weidong by her side.
And now that there is no Qiao Weidong, Qiao Yingzi is not depressed yet.
If you, Qiao Yingzi, don't take the initiative to fight for it, how can Song Qian agree to let you go to Jinling with her paranoia and desire for control?
Don't say that people from the capital don't need to go out of town, Tsinghua University is better than Nanjing University... If mother and daughter lived in Jinling, Song Qian probably wouldn't agree to let Qiao Yingzi go to school in the capital.
When the time comes, she will definitely say that the astronomy department of Nanda is the best, Yingzi, there is no need for you to go to Tsinghua University...any support for dreams is nonsense.
Studying celestial bodies and the universe is Qiao Yingzi’s dream, not Song Qian’s.
Song Qian's dream is to study how to control her daughter.
"Dad, please let me think again."
Qiao Yingzi naturally wants to change, but it really takes some time to make this determination.
"Well... you think about it carefully. No matter what, dad will always support you."
Chen Tao is happy to see the mother and daughter change the way they get along.
Needless to say, Song Qian had to support all of Qiao Yingzi's decisions. As long as she can be like Wang Qing to Wang Yidi, Chen Tao will be really relaxed and no longer have to worry about taking care of two mental patients in the future.
