Chapter 152 Preference
"I" Chang Ying was speechless.
"Chang Ying, no one understands you better than me. Your hatred is just to make Uncle Chang feel guilty about Aunt Tao and to make him hate Zheng Yuehong and her three daughters. But I tell you, that's impossible. Your hatred will only bring you sadness in the end, and you will only hurt yourself in the end."
Chang Ying raised her head slightly, her tone tearing up, "I feel sorry for my mother!"
"Yes, I also think Aunt Tao is not worth it, but life is not calculated that way. Uncle Chang has been running around for Aunt Tao's illness, and he also cried for Aunt Tao's death. If Aunt Tao knew about this, she would definitely not want you to live with hatred."
Chang Ying leaned on Cui Changjia's shoulder and cried bitterly.
The reason why Cui Changjia insisted on letting Chang Ying open her own shop was to let her learn to let go. One day, when we stand at a high enough level, we will understand that those who don’t care about themselves really just need to “save face”.
It is impossible for every effort you make in life to have equal returns. When your efforts receive no reward, just let it go. Life is short, and the most important thing is to spend your time and energy on worthwhile people and things.
Cui Changjia accompanied Chang Ying to the office, and as soon as they entered, the room was filled with smoke.
When Chang Yuanliang saw Cui Changjia and Chang Ying coming, he quickly put out his cigarette.
"Uncle Chang," Cui Changjia pulled Chang Ying over and sat down. While pouring water from the teacup, he said to Chang Yuanliang with a grin, "Chang Ying opened a bakery by herself. I didn't expect that, did I?"
"I really didn't expect it," Chang Yuanliang said with mixed feelings, "Are you ready to open? How much did you spend? Is it enough?"
Chang Yuanliang felt very upset. In fact, he didn't know that Chang Ying had moved out at the beginning. Later, after not seeing Chang Ying for a few days, Zheng Yuehong said that Chang Ying had moved out. She asked Chang Yuanliang in surprise, "Didn't Chang Ying tell you?"
Zheng Yuehong told him that Chang Ying said that she was old and it was inconvenient to live at home, and she would be more comfortable moving out, so she didn't stop her. Then, Zheng Yuehong said with guilt that she thought Chang Yuanliang knew, otherwise she would have stopped her.
Chang Yuanliang really thought that Chang Ying was angry with him and didn't want to live at home anymore, but he didn't expect that she moved out because she was doing her own business!
Cui Changjia secretly pinched Chang Ying under the table.
Chang Ying took a breath and said, "The store has opened. Everything is going well. I hope the business will be good in the future. You can go and have a look when you are free some other day. It is in the community near Hengmao International."
Chang Yuanliang still felt uncomfortable.
Cui Changjia saw it and said, "Chang Ying rented an apartment in Hengmao International. The property there is very good and it is safe at night, so Uncle Chang doesn't have to worry. Chang Ying didn't tell you for so long just to give you a surprise. Didn't expect your daughter to be so outstanding, right?"
Looking at her father's frustrated face, Chang Ying gradually gained confidence. She smiled and said, "Dad, I used to work in your store, but I never thought I could open a store."
"It's good to have something I like to do." Chang Yuanliang forced a smile on his face, "Dad will come over to take a look someday."
"Okay," Chang Ying said with a smile, but she added, "But you can do it yourself."
Chang Ying's last sentence made Chang Yuanliang's face drop.
Cui Changjia saw it, winked at his father, and said to Chang Yuanliang and Chang Ying, "Uncle, Chang Ying, Dad and I are going out for a walk, you two can talk it out."
The more other people interfere in family matters, the easier it is to get angry.
As soon as Cui Changjia left, Chang Ying took out her cell phone from her pocket and said, "Dad, let me tell you something."
The phone was quickly turned on and the sound came out.
"Auntie Zheng? What do you want to talk to me about?"
Then came Zheng Yuehong's voice, "Why did you spend 20,000 yuan on me?"
"Auntie Zheng, you bought a mink coat that cost hundreds of thousands. I just topped up my Galaxy Plaza stored-value card. You won't feel bad about it, will you?"
"Who do you think you are? You are not worthy of spending 20,000 yuan. Return it to me immediately!" "Ah, it has already been charged. How can I return it?"
This section of the recording has been played, and the next section will continue to play.
"Auntie Zheng, why can't the card be used?" This is what Chang Ying said.
Then Zheng Yuehong said coldly, "I have disabled the secondary card."
"why?"
"Why do you say that? Ha, Chang Ying, I was just joking, but you took it seriously. How ridiculous!"
"You are so despicable. You say one thing in front of my dad and another behind his back. Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
"So what? Does your dad believe me or you?"
There is another paragraph below.
"Aunt Zheng, I'm going to move out. Can you please tell my dad about this?"
"Moving out? Ha, you're already twenty-six or twenty-seven, and you're just thinking about moving out. You should have moved out a long time ago. Except for the things you use for daily life, don't even think about taking anything away from home!"
Then there was a gap of about ten seconds.
Then Zheng Yuehong asked, "Did you hear what I just said?"
"Got it. I'll only bring my own clothes."
"Since you're living outside, don't come back every other day. Your dad is very busy, so don't bother him unless you have something to do."
Then there was an electric silence.
Chang Yuanliang's hands were shaking under the table, "Chang Ying, do you really have to embarrass me like this?"
Chang Ying had been with Cui Changjia for a long time, and her expression was as cold as Cui Changjia's. "Dad, if I wanted to embarrass you, I would have played these recordings in front of you and Changjia!"
"Did you record it on purpose?"
Chang Yuanliang's question made Chang Ying feel pathetic and ridiculous. "Today, I finally know what preference is."
Chang Ying smiled extremely sadly. It was not until this moment that she understood what Cui Changjia meant by "saving face".
"Dad," Chang Ying raised her head and said calmly, "I let you listen to these recordings. I don't mean to complain about you. I just want you to know that Aunt Zheng doesn't really like me, and I don't like her either. You don't have to think about watching the happy scene of stepmother and stepdaughter."
Chang Ying's face was calm. "I will be independent in the future. I have money and friends. You don't have to worry about me too much. Just live your own life. If you want to go to my store, I welcome you, but you don't need to bring Aunt Zheng, Chang Xiao, and Chang Hui. I don't welcome you."
"Chang Ying, they are your brothers and sisters after all!" Chang Yuanliang's voice was a little stern, "They are your siblings!"
Chang Ying smiled, "Dad, I've told you to live your life well and not worry about me, but you're still not satisfied? Are you satisfied only when I have to suffer at the hands of Zheng Yuehong and help your wife become a stepmother?"
She looked at Chang Yuanliang, who was about to raise his hand to slap her, and said with a smile, "You want to hit me? Come on, I'm as generous as my mother. She won't complain about you when she's dead, and I won't complain when I'm alive either. After all, I'm your daughter, Chang Yuanliang, don't you agree?"
