Chapter 1043 Father-Daughter Relationship (1)
When Qu Shishi finally stopped, she found that Ji Xiaomu's clothes were soaked by her crying. But Ji Xiaomu was still holding her so gently. Qu Shishi blushed and felt ashamed to see her.
Feeling the person in her arms calm down, Ji Xiaowu chuckled. "Have you vented all your grievances?"
After Qu Shishi finished crying, she felt herself calm down. After hearing what Ji Xiaomu said, she nodded obediently.
"Can you tell me what happened?" Ji Xiaomu asked softly.
Qu Shishi sniffed. "Sister, you don't know, Dad is too much. He actually sent me two nurses, asking me to embroider and learn to cook. He also won't let me go anywhere. This is wrong, that is wrong. He won't let me sit or eat. Anyway, whatever I do is wrong."
"I told dad about it, and he scolded me, saying that I was ignorant! He helped those two maids to scold me, and when I said I didn't want to learn anymore, he even wanted to hit me. He even raised his hand just now!" Qu Shishi complained with a dissatisfied look on her face.
"Is that so! Do you know why he gave you two maids? I don't think he wants to harm you." Mother Ji neither agreed nor judged, she just opened her mouth to guide.
"...I know. Dad said that I will soon become someone else's wife. It won't work if I just think about playing all day. I have to learn this and that. There are so many things I need to learn..." Qu Shishi softened and said slowly.
"I know he's doing this for my own good, but..." Qu Shishi sniffed sadly, "This makes me feel uncomfortable. Am I so unbearable in his heart? The way he looks at me makes it seem like I'm incapable of anything. The two maids also control me in everything. I've been sitting like this for more than ten years, and suddenly he makes me sit with my legs together, and I can't even smile with my teeth showing..."
"Sister, I'm so sad." Qu Shishi didn't know how to express it. It's not that she didn't want to learn, but she... it was impossible for her to become that kind of person all of a sudden.
Ji Xiaomu understood Qu Shishi's mood and thoughts. A free person has never been constrained and can do whatever she wants. Suddenly someone tells her that she can't do this or that, and that doing this is wrong and doing that is also wrong. Anyone would collapse if she is denied too many times.
It was as if everything about me was denied.
"Do you feel like you're never doing anything right and you're losing confidence?" Mother Ji asked, rubbing Qu Shishi's head.
Qu Shishi's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Ji Xiaomu in surprise. "Yes, yes, that's it! This feeling is extremely uncomfortable."
What made her most uncomfortable was that even her father felt the same way.
"I feel like I can never be the kind of person he talks about..." Qu Shishi said sadly. She could never be the kind of lady her father talked about. "He didn't care about me when I was a child, why does he have to care about me now? Is it because I want to marry Lin Feng?"
"But Lin Feng never asked me to change..." Qu Shishi leaned in Ji Xiaomu's arms, feeling very sad.
"No matter what, I believe his original intention was for your own good, but the method he used might not be appropriate." Ji Xiaowu said to Qu Shishi. "In order to protect you, he sent you to someone else's home. The method was not appropriate and he did not obtain your consent, but he did it for you."
It’s just that the method...is indeed not quite appropriate.
