Chapter 1100 Confrontation
Huo Yan said in a low voice, "This is actually a very cruel thing. For the person involved, being opposed is very painful and helpless."
Huo Yan paused and continued:
"Jeffrey, Jiang Ke, you are both descendants of the Zhuang family. Have you ever considered that this matter will implicate your families? For you, your love is just a matter between the two of you, but for the Zhuang family, the impact is not small. I am not trying to persuade you to sacrifice yourselves to preserve the reputation of the Zhuang family. Besides being your elder, I have no right to ask you to do anything."
Huo Yan herself didn't know what she was saying, she just felt a little regretful and emotional. It turned out that she also wanted to stop some things just to save face.
Among the aristocratic families, most of them do things against their will for the sake of face, such as charity, marriage between aristocratic families, the daughter-in-law must be of equal status, and the offspring cannot be raised with disabilities.
I used to be unable to understand these people who put on airs and did hypocritical and ridiculous things.
But now, she has actually embarked on this path.
"I hope you can think carefully about what you should do. Coco, besides your love, you also have a family. Can you give them up and go to the United States with Jeffrey? Jeffrey, you like Coco and want to take her with you. I understand that two people who love each other want to be together day and night, but have you ever thought about Coco? If she gave up her family and left her hometown to live in the United States with you, would she be truly happy? Have you ever thought about your future life?"
The more Huo Yan spoke, the more he felt sorry for it. This was the first time he had to deal with something like this, and he felt it was very cruel.
I don’t want to be a housekeeper anymore, and I don’t want to do such a thankless job.
Jeffrey remained silent, and Jiang Ke also remained silent.
Huo Yan looked at Jiang Wanli again, feeling somewhat helpless. Jiang Wanli was not like this before, but he changed his personality due to the pressure of life.
"Brother-in-law Jiang, Keke is your biological daughter, the child you raised little by little in your hands. How could you bear to see her suffer like this? At this time, children must be panicked and helpless. They went home to find you first instead of going back to the Zhuang family to find their aunt. This shows that the children trust you, but you let your daughter down. Brother-in-law Jiang, is it what you want to see your daughter cry like this? Do you want to ruin the father-daughter relationship of more than 20 years because of this? In any case, Keke is still young. It is not terrible for young people to make mistakes. It is right for those around them to work together to help them correct their mistakes and guide them back to the right path. Brother-in-law Jiang, you are older than me, so I won't say anything more. You have decades of life experience and you are a sensible person. I believe you will have a more appropriate approach to this matter."
State the facts first, briefly touch upon the other person's shameful behavior, and then half-truthfully incorporate boasting into the matter, making it sound like the truth.
Although I was accusing him of something wrong, it was comforting to hear.
Jiang Wanli is not a bad person by nature, he just got into bad habits and became worse.
I have no money and no income, but as soon as I have some money I want to make a comeback and earn a fortune.
Deep down, he still wanted to give his youngest daughter a good life. Jiang Wanli had no son, so he focused all his attention on his youngest daughter and wanted to raise her.
With two daughters in the family, Jiang Wanli's heart is undoubtedly leaning towards the younger one.
But now my life has been completely disrupted. I have thought about working hard to stop gambling countless times, but when I encounter setbacks in life, my fighting spirit weakens again, and I overturn the oaths I made again and again.
Jiang Wanli's expression calmed down and he said nothing.
Huo Yan looked at Aunt Zhuang again and spoke to her, she still felt guilty:
"Aunt, Jeffrey is your son. Are you just going to throw up your hands and not care about his affairs? Do you think this is appropriate for a mother?"
"Your son is yours, and boys shouldn't suffer any loss, so you think the girl deserves it. Auntie, you can't be so selfish. You only look at the things that benefit you, and then you even ignore your own children..."
"What's your point in lecturing me?"
Zhuang Jinse glared at Huo Yan, "Don't take chicken feathers as your authority. No one said you really think you're a piece of cake!"
Huo Yan smiled faintly, "I'm the housekeeper now. Since you called me over, why don't you just listen to me for a few words? As for Jeffrey and Jiang Ke, I'm their elder, I have no right to ask them for anything. Aunt, you are older than me, so I have even less right to ask you for anything. So, aunt, don't be angry. I'm just saying a few words, not criticizing you. If you think it's right, then listen. If it's not, you don't have to listen."
"You always play the good guy. You have a very good plan." Zhuang Jinse sneered.
Zhang Bin finally said something at this time, "Jinse, let's listen to what the Third Madam has to say first."
Zhuang Jinse glanced at Zhang Bin and asked, "Oh, when did you join forces with her?"
The Zhuang family is very suspicious, which is a hereditary problem.
Zhuang Jinse and Zhang Bin’s ages are obvious. She has always been on her husband’s side, but her husband suddenly sabotages her in front of everyone. How could she not think too much?
The two have been together for quite a while, more than ten years now, so Zhuang Jinse understands Zhang Bin.
He would speak at this time either because he disagreed with her or because he could no longer tolerate her.
In either case, it shows that her husband's heart is not with her at the moment.
Zhang Bin glanced at Zhuang Jinse, stood up and went upstairs.
Okay, I’m an outsider and I’m speaking out of turn about your business. Can’t I just leave?
Zhuang Jinse was blocked, and her husband undoubtedly lost face for her.
Huo Yan stopped talking at the right time. Zhuang Jinse looked at Huo Yan:
"Don't lecture me with that face from now on. This is the banker's house, not a place for a woman like you who doesn't have a surname to make decisions."
"My brother-in-law is not a live-in son-in-law, so you, aunt, are also a married daughter. As for me personally, I have no right to say anything here. But my husband is the head of the Zhuang family, and my daughter is the granddaughter of the Zhuang family. Borrowing the words of my eldest sister-in-law, please allow me to ask you, my daughter's surname is Zhuang, what is your child's surname? I have no right to say anything about you, but I don't necessarily think you have the right to look down on me like this. The management of this family is not something I rushed to fight for, but you pushed it onto my head. Since it is pushed onto me, I have to do my part. If you don't want to listen, just move out!"
Huo Yan's voice was firm, neither humble nor arrogant.
Don't think that she is getting a great advantage just because she is the housekeeper. Is she willing to take this job?
They were rebelling against each other in the beginning, so they put the blame on her.
How can she just ignore it when it’s pushed onto her?
Since she is the housekeeper, anyone can control her, right?
I'm really sorry. Unless the housekeeper is replaced, everyone in this family has to listen to her. You can choose not to listen to her, please!
