Capítulo 1867: Chapter 2068: The Tornt of Waiting
At first, she planned to wait for Hao Jian to leave, then she would reveal all the things Hao Jian had done to her cousin, exposing his true nature and reputation. This would not only be revenge, but also a way to alleviate the guilt she felt towards her cousin, showing her what kind of man she truly admired.
However, when she saw her cousin looking at Hao Jian’s back with such affection, she couldn’t help but ask the question that lingered in her mind. When she got her cousin’s answer, she was stunned, as if she suddenly forgot her original intent or simply didn’t want to do it anymore.
She initially wanted to expose Hao Jian, but seeing her cousin’s adoration for him, she hesitated. She thought telling the truth would help her cousin, but now felt it would ruin her cousin’s happiness and cause her pain.
Suddenly, she was filled with inner conflict. The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn’t say them out loud. The words spun in her mouth, and she realized she had a changed perspective on Hao Jian.
Listening to her cousin’s words and putting herself in her shoes, she seed to realize that apart from being slightly lecherous at tis, Hao Jian had helped her nurous tis since he entered her life. Every ti she was in danger, it was Hao Jian who helped her out of trouble.
Leaving other matters aside, with the incident involving Zhang Hao and Qiao Ge, dealing with Zhang Hao was challenging but manageable. However, after Hao Jian appeared, even the smallest effort wasn’t necessary on her part. Had Hao Jian not appeared that night, Qiao Ge’s knife might have stabbed her body.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be standing here now. After lying in a pool of blood, who knows if she would have survived. Even if she had, it would be in a debilitated state.
Moreover, even if she had survived that ordeal, what about later when Qiao Ge, Zhang Hao, and others blocked her at the school gate? They were carrying real weapons that ti. If it weren’t for Hao Jian’s tily rescue, could she have really escaped death? She might have perished right there.
Setting these incidents aside, consider the day she fainted on the road. If Hao Jian hadn’t taken her ho and taken care of her all night, wouldn’t others have taken advantage of her? Moreover, even though she hadn’t known Hao Jian for long, they had lived together for a few days. If Hao Jian truly had lustful intentions, would she have been able to resist?
She initially harbored resentnt towards Hao Jian, but thinking through these events, her hatred for him seed to diminish considerably and gradually disappeared. She wanted to say sothing to her cousin, but suddenly she found herself unable to speak, resulting in prolonged silence.
During this ti, her cousin’s words kept echoing in her mind. “He’s not particularly good, he just happens to have everything I like,” she pondered what exactly about Hao Jian attracted her cousin.
Having grown up almost together with her cousin, she knew her cousin well. She understood her cousin’s seriousness in choosing a boyfriend, and even the most outstanding suitors never caught her cousin’s eye. But why was her cousin so infatuated with Hao Jian?
She couldn’t understand it but wanted to figure it out. Directly asking her cousin seed impossible, and she wouldn’t do that; she needed to slowly get to know Hao Jian.
“Xiaohai, what are you thinking?” Liang Yuwei looked at Liang Xiaohan’s dazed expression and asked with concern.
Liang Xiaohan snapped back to reality when her cousin called her, quickly shaking her head and said, “Nothing, nothing, I was just thinking about other things, so I got distracted.”
Liang Yuwei casually acknowledged it, then turned her attention elsewhere. The two of them waited outside, waiting for Hao Jian and Liang Youzhen to co out, waiting for the final result.
It wasn’t too late at six, but the night was slowly falling, and ten minutes later, nightfall was evident. Unknowingly, half an hour passed, and the night had fully descended. The streets were brightly lit.
At this ti, Liang Yuwei’s anxious expression worried Liang Xiaohan, so she explained, “Cousin, no need to worry. Last ti when he talked with my dad, I waited outside for more than an hour.”
“An hour?” Liang Yuwei looked surprised.
Could such conversations last this long? She really didn’t know what Hao Jian and her uncle had to discuss for so long, given their different ages and fields, especially in this awkward atmosphere. This made Liang Yuwei suddenly, feel a bit sorry for Hao Jian.
If he talked with her uncle for an hour, wouldn’t he talk longer with her father? She suddenly wanted to rush in and see how things were going. If her father still didn’t agree, she wouldn’t mind eloping with Hao Jian. She was determined to spend her life with him no matter what.
However, just as she was about to step in, her cousin Liang Xiaohan seed to know what she was thinking and grabbed her hand.
Then she seriously advised her, “Cousin, don’t go in. If they are having a good conversation and you rush in, wouldn’t it spoil things?”
Liang Yuwei’s face was full of complex emotions. She thought about it and eventually gave up the idea. After all, if her cousin waited an hour last ti, this ti would definitely be longer, so they should be patient.
Ultimately, she nodded to her cousin and cald down. Thus, forty minutes passed, fifty minutes passed, an hour passed.
Gradually, she beca impatient again, worried that her father was giving Hao Jian a hard ti inside. She knew her father’s temperant—easygoing with everyday matters, but extrely demanding when it ca to her. Everything would require extra scrutiny, from conversation to requirents.
Thus, she feared her father was making things difficult for Hao Jian. Naturally, Hao Jian couldn’t possibly lose his temper with her father; it simply wasn’t conceivable. But if so, wouldn’t Hao Jian be suffering inside? She didn’t want Hao Jian to suffer, not even for a mont.
But recalling her cousin’s earlier advice, she cald down once more, waiting quietly. Ninety minutes passed in this manner, and it was now past seven-thirty. The night had shrouded the earth, countless lights illuminated the city, the streets were bustling with people and traffic.
However, none of this affected her mood. Her mind was fully focused on waiting for Hao Jian and her father to co out.
Finally, as it almost reached two hours, she spotted a familiar figure at the hotel entrance. Her father walked out, cast her a deep glance, then looked back at Hao Jian, and proceeded to co out.
She hurriedly went forward and called “Dad,” but her father’s expression was complex, and she couldn’t decipher its aning.
Liang Youzhen rely smiled at her, then lowered his head and got into the car without saying a word, closing the door behind him.
At this mont, Liang Yuwei felt confused and worried, uncertain of how things turned out. The results seed unfavorable. Liang Xiaohan’s expression was also complex, as she had initially thought she would be happy if Hao Jian failed, but seeing the apparent failure, she didn’t feel the joy she imagined. Instead, there was a small sense of disappointnt.
She couldn’t understand why she felt this way, her face filled with confusion.
Just as Hao Jian erged from the hotel, Liang Yuwei anxiously rushed over, grabbed his hand, and urgently asked, “How did it go? What did my dad say?”
Hao Jian had a smile on his face. The process was much more challenging than he had anticipated, but he had a 98% confidence level, so eventually, success was certain. However, Liang Youzhen still maintained so of his principles, agreeing not to obstruct his daughter’s relationship with Hao Jian.
But… at the sa ti, he didn’t exactly approve of or oppose their continued relationship, adopting a neutral stance.
Considering all aspects, Hao Jian was indeed the ideal choice as a son-in-law, except he had only one daughter. When he heard Ma Jingxuan talking about how Hao Jian had severed his finger, he was fully aware that a man’s attitude might change pre and post-marriage.
So, he was worried about Hao Jian’s potential for violence and what if he abused his daughter!!!
His daughter was clearly blinded by love, but as a father, he needed to approach matters with rationality. Everything had to be thoroughly considered. Money, power, and status were not important; he only sought a man his daughter could entrust her life to.
Thus, he ultimately compromised and stepped back, although still holding onto so original principles.
Hao Jian understood this. So, in the end, the outco could be deed a success for Hao Jian. Once the first step was taken, everything after would be manageable.
Hao Jian’s smile bewildered Liang Yuwei, making it harder to grasp the outco.
“Dad didn’t oppose it anymore!” said Hao Jian happily.
