"Don't bother with your dad. He's showing signs of dementia. Let's go back to the house. Our son is the most generous." He Fang ignored Li He, who was acting like a big boss. She first comforted her pitiful son.
"It's okay, Mom." Li Lan smiled. He was used to his father's nitpicking. He felt wronged. He was a son and he had done so much. What more could his father ask of him? "Maybe I'll never satisfy him. Mom, I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"Silly boy, it's useless to say this. Listen to Mom. Don't bother with this psychopath. "He Fang could feel her son's feelings." Listen to Mom, okay? "
Her son was a good son, but her man was getting worse and worse. He never let the family rest.
"Mom, no. Dad is under a lot of pressure too." Li Lan stood at the door and said against his will. "I won't go in and make things difficult for him."
"Go talk to your father. Don't argue with him." He Fang touched her son's head. She felt sorry for him. But she sighed when she saw the restless Second Brother Li sitting on the sofa. This guy would go crazy if he didn't have a teapot in his hand.
She brought a pot of hot water from the kitchen and made tea for Li He. She said in a low voice, "The child has grown up. Give him some face. Don't talk to him like this."
"I give him face. Who will give me face?" Looking at Li Lan standing at the door, Li He suddenly raised his voice, "Dignity is earned by oneself, not given to you by others! Come on, tell me how much money you've earned. I'll pay you back! Don't embarrass me again! "
Who could he talk to about the grievances in his heart?
The child he had nurtured with so much effort did not have the ability to inherit his family business.
So what if he became the world champion of Go?
In the end, he would still die in the hands of an alpha dog!
"Second Brother Li, you're crazy!" The tears in her son's eyes made He Fang's heart ache. "If you're so capable, play with others. How can you fight with your own son?"
"Dad, I'm sorry. I can't be what you want me to be." Li Lan tried not to cry.
"You think you're in the right?" Although Li He didn't feel good, he was his father. He couldn't lower his head! If he couldn't discipline his son, how could he still be considered a father!
"Dad, I'm sorry. If people do it for money, that's survival, not life." This time, he won the first place in the South Korean Go tournament. He was full of joy and wanted to tell his father the news, but before he could say it, his father denied him, which made him very sad.
"You think money isn't important because you've never experienced a life without money since you were young!" Li He had never thought that his son would dare to talk back to him. He was furious. "If you have the guts, don't use me again!"
"Dad, have you forgotten?" Li Lan smiled. He ignored his mother's tearing at his arm and said, "I've been financially independent for a long time. I'm sorry to disappoint you again."
His annual prize money was five to six hundred thousand!
He really didn't need to rely on his father anymore.
He loved his father, but there was no emotional communication between them. His father's expectations of him made him feel suffocated.
His father was the most difficult person in his life to understand. Even if he didn't have children, he would slowly realize that his father was a person, an ordinary person with his own limitations and the limitations of the times, no matter how rich his father was or how much he achieved.
Li He stood up. He didn't expect his son to talk to him like this.
"You haven't drunk the cat's urine today, right? What's wrong with you now? Get out of the house and go to sleep! "He Fang was furious. He couldn't let his son look so bad. He dragged Second Brother Li into the house.
Just when he dragged Second Brother Li to the second floor, he realized that his son had turned around and left. He quickly let go of Second Brother Li and chased after his son.
"If you dare to go, don't come back!"
Li He shouted at He Fang.
He Fang didn't care about his life or death. His son was the most important thing in the world. He ran out of the door and shouted as he chased after his son's bicycle.
"Mom, you should go back." Li Lan turned his back, trying not to let his mother see his emotions.
"Hey, if you really want to go back to school, let's have lunch before leaving, okay?" He Fang finally caught up with him. His hand was shaking as he held his son's hand. "Mom made your favorite, Four Happiness Meatballs."
"Mom, I'll go back to school first." He Fang stood in front of him. He deliberately turned his head away, not daring to look at his mother. "I'll come back when Dad is in a better mood."
"Good son, listen to mom. Your father has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He's definitely not a bad person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to live with him for so many years." As a mother, she felt sorry for her son. But the one who hurt her son was her husband. She didn't know what to do at this moment.
"He definitely won't admit that he has a sharp tongue because he's used to treating others like this. Mom, why should I lower myself to accommodate his bad habits?" Li Lan finally couldn't help crying. "Is it just because he's my father?
Sometimes I think I'm very sad. I lack the ability to refuse. I'm afraid that once I refuse someone, it will leave a crack in our hearts that will never heal. But he's not afraid. He can say anything.
I've thought it through now. He's not afraid of hurting our relationship. Why should I be conflicted? "
"Your father loves you very much." He Fang sighed and said, "You've never relied on your family. He's very proud of you. Yes, his words are a little harsh. But why don't you think about who your father earned the family business for? Isn't it all for you?"
"Mom, let me calm down for a while. I'll be fine."
"Okay, then I'll go to school to see you tomorrow." He Fang finally let go of her hand helplessly.
She watched her son ride away on the bicycle until he disappeared. She stood there for a long time in a daze.
Li Lan rode the bicycle at full speed.
"Little Lazy, aren't you going home?" A boy wearing glasses heard the sound of the door opening. He turned his head and glanced at the door. Then, he continued to look at the computer screen.
"Don't I have to submit the experiment report tomorrow? I haven't done anything yet. I can't stay at home." Li Lan took off his shoes and climbed onto his upper berth. He directly covered his head with the quilt.
He couldn't express the grievance in his heart.
"Hey, Little Lazy, do you want to go play basketball? We're short of players. We're going to compete with the Biochemical Department." A tall man patted the railing on Li Lan's bed. He was holding a basketball in one hand. "Hurry up!"
"I woke up too early. I'm a little sleepy. You guys go play." Li Lan wasn't interested in anything at the moment.
