After Li Xue left the study room, silence took its place. Shin Tingming was stabbed by her words, but he also knew that he couldn't blame her for it because what Li Xue said was not wrong. He was to be blamed as well.
"Rui, you were right. I was simply pushing the blame of my incapabilities on Shufen when I, myself, have been no better. After all, being her father, even I was incapable of protecting her." He said self-depreciatingly while looking at the floor disappointedly.
Chen Rui looked at his husband and felt his pain. Patting his shoulders, she said, "Tingming, don't take her words to your heart. Being her parents, we should understand her. After all, she must be feeling a part of her missing. We both know she is not a child who would speak like that to us. She never blamed us in the past. She did it today because she was hurt. So, don't think too much"
She said but just looking at him, she could tell that her words didn't bring much change in him. So, to ease him up, she smiled softly before raising his face to look at hers. "Tingming, do you just have to see the dark side? Check the brighter side of it. In the past, Xiao Xue never used to scold us like this. Although she has said that she has accepted us as her parents, she never used to show her real inner self in front of us. She used to hold herself back to not disappoint us. But today, she has grown close enough to us that now she feels comfortable venting herself out in front of us. Isn't that good?"
She said and Shin Tingming looked up at her. His disappointment slightly dissipated. "Is that really true?"
Chen Rui smiled and nodded. "Have I ever lied to you? She has grown closer to us recently. Give a better look and you can feel and notice that too." She said and Shin Tingming paused for a moment.
Then thinking of some things from the recent days, his lips curled up as nodding, he said, "Yes, Rui. you are saying it right. Recently, the way she calls me Pa also feels so real. She even gets up early to prepare me my herbal tea. She has indeed gotten closer to us."
Chen Rui smiled. "Indeed. Didn't I say that I have never lied to you? Although some mishaps happened in the past, we would still need to move on for a better future. And the future doesn't need to get started by forgetting the past."
"Rui, but …"
"Tingming, FenFen, and WeiWei are the two most important people in her life. When she didn't have us, she had them. We can't be selfish to keep her to us like that. We need to let her be the way she wants to be. After all, we never believed that children should be caged. We never kept You Jun confined; then how can we do that to Xiao Xue? She is our daughter and we would support her with our best in every decision."
She said, and giving some thought, Shin Tingming couldn't refuse her.
Nodding to her, soon he agreed. "Fine, if she would want it like that then I won't refuse. But now she has no memories, and we can't force her to remember them. We have to remember the caution the doctor has given us. Let the time take the charge."
He said and Chen Rui hummed with satisfaction.
While back in the room, Li Xue felt awful. She felt guilty for speaking like that. Even if it was in a fit of anger it was still something unacceptable. She knew her condition well. The doctor has warned her as well. Forcing herself to remember the lost memory might be a risk for her life.
Knowing such a disaster could ensue, which parents would be in favor of telling their child about the memories he or she has lost? If she had been in their shoes and Weiwei would have lost her memories, she would not have even dared to tell her anything about the memory she had lost.
"Li Xue, you have truly been rude. How can you be so insensitive to talk like that? That man pretended to be a stranger to you yet you yelled at your parents for him. How can you be so attached to him when he clearly doesn't share the same feeling with you?" She mumbled to herself but just when she said that, a knock came at the door.
"Sometimes things aren't how they look, dear." Chen Rui said as smiling she asked, "Can I come in?"
"Ma, you don't need to ask. I am … I am sorry for how I behaved earlier. I shouldn't have …" Before Li Xue could say more, Chen Rui cupped her cheeks and shook her head.
"You don't have to feel guilty, dear. We are your parents and we understand you enough to know that those words that came weren't actually what you meant."
"Still Ma, I shouldn't have behaved like that. Pa must have really gotten upset. I should go and apologize to him." Saying that Li Xue was ready to go, but Chen Rui stopped her.
Then looking at her she said, "As I said, sometimes things aren't as they look. You might think that your father must have gotten upset, but believe me he has gotten more satisfied seeing you vent out your anger like that. It only meant that you have started to accept us wholeheartedly. You weren't like this before?"
She said, and Li Xue raised her brows at her. Chen Rui smiled but then, taking her hands in hers, she led her to the bed before asking her to sit and listen. "Sweetie, you are our daughter without any doubt. But our relationship is not as simple as it meets our eyes. If you have not lost your memories, you might have remembered how you came and took away my heart. Being connected just with Tingming, how you got connected with me better than anyone else."
Li Xue has just lost the memories of five years of her life, so she still has the memories of Li Hua. So, somewhat she understood what Chen Rui was speaking about.
Li Xue held Chen Rui's hands in hers. "Ma, believe me, I really didn't mean what I said earlier. It was just in the heat of the moment. I remember how that woman has treated me since I was a child and I have also felt the love and care you adore me with. I might have forgotten my memories; I can still remember the feeling we share. So, you don't have to tell me all this. Even without your telling, I will know the depth of emotion we share."
"I know dear. But still, I wanted to tell you this. Now that you have assured me, I am relieved. Here takes a look, I brought you something." She said while extending out the file.
Li Xue looked down and her brows jutted together. Taking the files, she flipped them open to read. "This …"
Before she could say more, Chen Rui nodded to confirm her confusion. "Yes, I have been working on this for quite some days. And now finally it's successful. The committee has approved counting the traditional modeling as one of the points that would deduce the Supermodel Perfectionist Award of Chiboa. Now, your work in the traditional field would also be counted in. Also, they have awarded traditional modeling the third-largest point. So as long as you work hard, you will be able to bag your award and complete your dream."
She said, and Li Xue carefully read the document. When completed, her lips rose in a smile as looking up at her mother, she said, "Thank you for this, Ma. You have really been the best. I never thought that traditional modeling would get counted. But now that it's confirmed, I promise I will get the Supermodel Perfectionist Award for sure."
She said and Chen Rui hummed in response. "I believe you. Now, you get some rest. I will send the dinner in your room itself."
Li Xue nodded, standing up with her. Chen Rui gave a small pat on her cheeks and then turned to leave but as if remembering something, she paused and turned back to look at Li Xue to say, "Xiao Xue, you have forgotten the things and might take something wrong. FenFen might not be as heartless as you think."
She said and it took a while for Li Xue to understand what she meant but shaking her head, she asked, "Do you know about our relationship?"
"I might not know the whole, dear, but I know for sure that he loves you. He has chased you and made you be his. Here must be something in those stories, right?" She said, and Li Xue was dumbfounded for a moment.
"He has chased me? I mean Feng Yi Lan said that I was the one who chased after him."
Chen Rui doesn't know what Feng Yi Lan planned when she said that. But since she has made up a story like that, there must be a plan. Not ruining the made plan, she smiled to say, "Who chased who doesn't matter. I will just say that he has loved you enough to sever his ties with his mother, whom he has been searching for more than half of his life. So, think before you decide his love for you."
She said and then after saying that she left, leaving Li Xue all confused behind.
