Chapter 1505: He Is My Son (78)
After saying this, Shi Jinyan walked to the side of the room and picked up his jacket. He strode to the front door and instructed the butler, “Get the car ready.”
“Roger.”
The butler followed his order straightaway.
The man frowned, took out his cell phone and called again. Still, the voicemail just repeated, “The number you have dialed is not available at the moment.”
In a fit of anger, he flung his cell phone onto the sofa. He complained, “As a girl, she needs to protect herself. Staying out all night is too much! Nianyao was alway a good girl and never made anyone worry. It’s Mo Xicheng’s fault that she’s now like that! This must have been his suggestion. A young man unable to restrain himself… does he think Nianyao is like any other girl out there? He thinks he can just spend the night with her as he pleases? No way! I have to bring her home!”
At this point, he headed towards the door. He took no further than a few steps when Si Jingyu called out, “Come back here.”
Shi Jinyan halted and turned around. Si Jingyu took one step towards him and stared at him, not quite knowing how to react. She said, “Going all the way there is going to take you at least an hour. They will have done whatever they wanted to do.”
Shi Jinyan paused as he turned pale with anger. “What- what do we do then?”
At this point, he lowered his head, took out his cell phone again and said, “I’ll call that rascal! If he dares to touch my daughter, I’ll skin him alive.”
Si Jingyu saw the humor in this, but found it annoying anyway. Taking his hand, she said to the man calmly, “What’s the point of doing that? They hang out together during the day and it’s not like you can watch over them every minute. Do you think they can do such things only at night? They have nothing but time during the day! Besides, Yao Yao took good care of herself, even when she was studying abroad. Now that she’s back, you shouldn’t expect that she will suddenly change her behavior. I’m telling you, even if they are doing something, the times have changed, haven’t they? What’s wrong if they wish to be together? You can’t impose your traditional thinking on the kids nowadays.”
Shi Jinyan had no chance of a comeback with Si Jingyu. He could only choke and say, “But- but she still should come home for the night!”
Si Jingyu couldn’t help but lower her head and smile. She said, “Well, does it all boil down to the fact that you simply can’t let Yao Yao go?”
Shi Jinyan gave a light cough at this point and squinted as he looked away. He protested, “It’s not that! I—”
“Actually I can’t bear to let her go either. I raised her myself from the time she was a baby till now, that she’s an adult, and in love. She was obsessed over a celebrity and now, after all the upheavals, she’s found herself the man she loves. Of course, I feel like she now belongs to someone else. But as parents, what can we do? It’s a matter of time until the kids get their own families. When Shi Xun was getting married, didn’t we also feel neglected?”
“Besides, if you dashed over there now and caught them red-handed, what then? Yao Yao would be embarrassed and Mo Xicheng would feel bad. Both of them would feel awkward, so what’s the point? Let the young people have some space to be independent. It’s a good thing.”
Si Jingyu’s words finally calmed Shi Jinyan. He pondered it for a moment, then took a deep breath and hung his head. Feeling abandoned, he said, “Indeed, our precious little girl has grown up and has become someone else’s.”
