Chapter 2270: Chapter 2072: Gu Linxi vs Cui Jiangjing
Cui Jiangjing also had a younger sister named Cui Yun?
Gu Linxi was extremely shocked.
What was said next shocked her even more.
"I saw her sitting on the top floor of the school with my own eyes. I ran up, she smiled while crying and said to me, Brother, don’t come over, I won’t drag you down anymore. Then she closed her eyes and jumped off the 17th floor. Mr. Cui, do you understand what it’s like to have nightmares every night, hating yourself for not being able to keep your loved ones? We all know you’re in pain too, you regret not being more forgiving to her. Later, you used your connections to ruin that boy’s college entrance exams and study abroad opportunities. Even now, you quietly use your network to suppress that man, and he can’t find a decent job, only working odd jobs at construction sites, earning just enough to live on bread and pickles. There’s no hope of turning his life around in this lifetime. But Cui Yun isn’t coming back."
"Stop it." Cui Hao’s face was full of pain, his eyes tightly shut, unable to face the facts.
"You’ve been asking me why I don’t stay at home, why every time I come back and see you, I refuse to stay for a meal?"
"...stop it."
He spat out angrily, "Because I don’t want to see you. When I see you, I recall her desperate expression before jumping, I hate you, I wish I didn’t have you as a father!"
Cui Hao’s entire body shook, trembling, nearly losing his balance. Fortunately, Huo Xiahe quickly supported him, anxiously said, "Brother, stop it, can’t you see uncle is about to collapse from anger? No matter how wrong uncle is, he’s still your dad, how can you talk to your dad like this? Yun’s incident was an accident; no one expected she would lose hope. If uncle knew, he definitely wouldn’t have done that; she’s his daughter, he’s heartbroken too. You shouldn’t spread this pain further."
Gu Linxi silently grasped the hand that held hers, though she said nothing, the message was clear, she’s on his side!
In this matter, she isn’t qualified to judge who’s right or wrong. In such a family tragedy, everyone is hurting, and there’s truth in what Cui Jiangjing said; Cui Hao may not have foreseen the tragic end, but he’s definitely not a good father, at least he hasn’t learned how to be one.
Humans are ridiculous like this; you have to pass exams to study, to work, to drive. It seems like you need a license to do anything. Yet, on the great matter of having children, the previous generation rushed as if completing a task. They don’t care if the child is tired, they only care if the child flies high. They don’t care if the child hurts from falling, they only ask if you know you’re wrong!
Cui Yun’s tragedy stemmed from a father’s desire to make his daughter understand her mistakes through harsh scolding, hoping it would help her avoid future missteps. Whereas the daughter, deceived and hurt by a scoundrel, only wanted her father’s comforting embrace, telling her it’s alright sweetheart, we all love you.
Two people, unable to understand each other’s thoughts due to the generation gap, ultimately led to an irreparable tragedy!
In this matter, she only feels for one person, that is the brother in the story!
A brother who loved his sister witnessed his sister jump to her death, unable to save a young life, yet unable to blame his father, who also painfully lost a daughter, his grief must be overwhelming.
Having gone through so much and still being able to grow into an upright and cheerful adult, Cui Jiangjing is very brave. At least he’s achieved what she hasn’t!
