Chapter 154 I don't want to go abroad
Shen Chen said, "OK."

After the two chatted for a few more words, An Xiaoran remembered something, and continued: "By the way, I'll go buy some specialties from the capital tomorrow, and then I'll bring them back together and give them to uncles and aunts as gifts. What do they like? Of course." , you can tell me anything you want."

The arc of Shen Chen's lips became even bigger, "It's not important, the key is that your people come back soon!"

An Xiaoran lay on the bed, shaking Bai Shengsheng's calf, and said with a smile: "Hey, I believe now that you really miss me!"

Suddenly, the door of her bedroom was opened, and An Liangqing in pajamas came in.

Hearing the commotion, An Xiaoran hurriedly stuffed her phone under the pillow next to her, picked up a magazine, and pretended to read it.

An Liangqing looked suspiciously at An Xiaoran who looked guilty.

"Of course, what are you doing?"

An Xiaoran flicked through the magazines, and whispered, "I, I'm reading."

"Reading?" An Liangqing seemed a little disbelieving, "But I seem to hear your voice, who are you talking to?"

An Xiaoran blinked, pretending to be calm and said: "I didn't talk to anyone, I just read the article above."

An Liangqing was even more puzzled: "Why study when you have nothing to do?"

An Xiaoran: "I...I think this article is very well written, I can't help but read it."

An Liangqing: "..."

After a pause, he walked to the chair next to him, sat down, and said kindly: "Okay, you put the book away for a while, Dad has something to talk to you about."

An Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, and after getting up, she asked obediently, "Father, what's the matter."

An Liangqing looked at his daughter and showed a satisfied smile: "Of course, Dad wants to ask you, which university do you like abroad?"

An Xiaoran was stunned again, "What do you mean?"

"It's like this, after you finish high school, Dad wants to send you abroad to study in college." An Liangqing said with a smile, "The economy abroad is more developed than ours, and the education system is more complete and perfect. It is also a good choice to broaden your horizons and experience different cultures. Many friends my father knows send their children abroad to study. Do you still remember Uncle Liu who had dinner with him last time? His daughter is in Canada I went to the University of Toronto..."

An Xiaoran interrupted him: "Dad, do you want to send me abroad to study in university?"

An Liangqing nodded: "Of course, you don't have to go to Canada. Even the United States, Australia, Japan... It's all possible. Whichever university you want to go to abroad, as long as you can pass the exam, the tuition and living expenses are all the same. Don't worry, Dad will find a way..."

An Xiaoran pursed her lips, if she went abroad, wouldn't that mean she wouldn't be able to see Chen Chen?
She shook her head directly, and refused softly but firmly: "No, I just want to stay in my own country."

An Liangqing was a little surprised, and emphasized: "Of course, don't be self-willed, Dad is for your own good. The quality of education in our country's universities is not as good as that in foreign countries."

"But I don't want to go abroad."

"I didn't tell you to stay abroad forever." An Liangqing smiled, "Silly boy, if you don't want to stay abroad after finishing your studies, you can go back to China. Dad is still reluctant to let you stay abroad because you won't see each other!"

"...No, I still don't want to go."

An Liangqing's mouth was dry, but he couldn't convince An Xiaoran, he was a little puzzled.

In his eyes, he always thought his daughter was excellent!

Not only her appearance and academic performance are good enough, An Xiaoran also likes to read books, and she is also quite fluent in English.Moreover, apart from insisting on going to Chu City to study in high school, he is usually very obedient and obedient, and never disobeys his wishes.

He is very proud of his daughter in his heart, but also feels owed because he is usually too busy to spend time with her.

Because of this, he wants to do everything he can to give his daughter the best - except for his company.

The annual cost of studying abroad is not a small amount, but in order for his daughter to have a better future, he thinks it is necessary.

What puzzled him was that studying abroad was a matter of no harm to his daughter, why would she firmly disagree?
He tried to ask: "Can you tell Dad why you don't want to study abroad? Is it because you are afraid that you won't be able to adapt to life abroad?"

An Xiaoran slowly grasped the bed sheet with her fingers, and shook her head: "Anyway, I don't want to go. There are good universities in China."

An Liangqing sighed, and continued: "Father knows that with your grades, you can be admitted to a very good university in China, but the last university in our country is not ranked high in the world, and it is far from the first-class university in the world. There is still a certain gap between prestigious schools. Dad hopes you can change your mind. After all, this may be related to your future. Dad will not harm you. I want to give you the best in the world..."

He gushed.

An Xiaoran's fingers pulling the bed sheet became tighter and tighter. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and said, "But I don't want it!"

An Liangqing was taken aback, "What?"

An Xiaoran raised her volume a little: "I already said that I don't want to go, why can't you respect my opinion?"

"But, Dad is for your own good..."

"Why do you have to force things on me, Dad?"

An Liangqing was speechless for a long time before saying: "Because you are still young, you don't understand many things. Dad will not harm you. When you grow up, you will understand how good Dad is to you and how much he treats you. Pay attention!"

"But you know, what I want is good, not these." An Xiaoran lowered her head, took a deep breath, and said softly, "If there is nothing else, I want to sleep."

An Liangqing raised his eyes to explain, but in the end he only sighed: "You don't understand Dad's difficulties. How about this, you should think about it first during this time, Dad still hopes you can listen to his advice."

An Xiaoran said nothing.

An Liangqing sighed again, turned and left the room.

An Xiaoran stared blankly at his back disappearing behind the door, and then slowly fell down on the bed, her eyes turning red little by little.

***
An Liangqing did not easily give up the idea of ​​wanting An Xiaoran to go abroad. The next day, An Xiaoran received a call.

It was her grandma calling.

However, An Xiaoran didn't have much affection for this grandma. The reason why she said this was because, although the other party was her own grandma in terms of blood relationship, there was not much kinship between the two of them.

Influenced by some traditional ideas, An Xiaoran's grandmother is very patriarchal.Back then, after An Xiaoran was born, because she was a girl, her grandmother asked An Liangqing to give her to someone else so that she could have a boy.Fortunately, neither An Liangqing nor An Xiaoran's mother agreed to this matter.

For this reason, since An Xiaoran was a child, her grandmother hardly showed her face a few times.And the relationship between An Liangqing and his wife is getting worse and worse, and it is not unrelated to her grandmother's deliberate sowing, because An Xiaoran's mother chose to put on the birth control ring after giving birth to An Xiaoran, and could no longer have children. It ruined her dream of wanting a grandson... So, in An Xiaoran's heart, this grandma has no place at all.

Even though she came to the capital with her father, her grandma also lived in the capital, but the two of them still lived separately, and they only saw each other once or twice during the holidays throughout the year, let alone called her specifically.

Intuition told An Xiaoran that there must be nothing good.

Sure enough, An Xiaoran's grandma pretended to be warm on the phone for a while, asked how An Xiaoran was doing recently, said that she missed An Xiaoran very much, and asked when An Xiaoran would come to see her, yelling one by one Good granddaughter...

An Xiaoran has a good temper, so she didn't hang up the phone directly, but waited patiently for her to get to the point.

If it wasn't for something, this grandma probably wouldn't take the initiative to contact her until she died.

After talking for a long time, An Xiaoran's grandma asked, "Of course, if grandma remembers correctly, you should be in the third year of high school in September, right?"

An Xiaoran said softly "Yes."

An Xiaoran's grandma asked: "I heard from your father that your grades are pretty good. Have you decided which university to go to?"

An Xiaoran said, "I haven't thought about it yet."

She was telling the truth, because there was still a year to go, and she didn't know how Shen Chen would do in the exam and which university he would choose, which was also related to her choice.

An Xiaoran's grandma interpreted her "haven't thought about it yet" as "the university I don't want to study yet", and said with a smile: "There is no university in China that I want to study, so go abroad. There are good universities abroad." Too much, go abroad to see the world, be plated with gold, even if you return to China, you will be a master in the future!"

An Xiaoran said: "I just want to go to university in China."

When An Xiaoran's grandma heard this, she immediately said in a loving elder tone: "Of course, don't make decisions casually. You have to listen to the adults, especially your father. He is for your own good. You see, The tuition fee for studying abroad is so expensive, it costs hundreds of thousands a year, your father is willing to give it to you, isn't that enough to show that he loves you?"

An Xiaoran lowered her eyes, clenched the phone receiver with her fingers, and showed a rare sarcasm on her always well-behaved face: "My father listens too much to your sobering words, that's why his relationship with my mother is so stiff! So, You did those things for my father, for me too?!"

An Xiaoran's grandma didn't expect her to be so stubborn, and she was so rude to her, she gasped in anger, "You, why did you talk to me? I'm your grandma! It’s too big or too small!”

An Xiaoran said indifferently: "Grandma, don't be too angry. If you get angry, your health will be bad! As for my affairs, you have never cared about them since you were a child, and you don't have to worry about them in the future."

After saying this, she hung up the phone without waiting for the other side to continue.

An Liangqing has been listening by the side. He is not a very good-tempered person. Seeing An Xiaoran talk to grandma like this, he stared and said angrily: "Of course, how can you talk to grandma like that?"

An Xiaoran pursed her lips and looked up at him.

This gaze was very indifferent, but it made An Liangqing feel a little flustered.

Because, he had never seen his daughter look at him with such eyes.

An Xiaoran said flatly: "Father, because she is your mother, she is my grandma."

An Liangqing heard the meaning behind her words.

If it wasn't for the blood relationship, she wouldn't want to recognize this grandma at all!
The anger in An Liangqing's heart was suddenly extinguished by a chill.

I didn't dare to speak to An Xiaoran again in a too heavy tone, but tried to stabilize my mind, and said it in as gentle a tone as possible: "Of course, I know that your grandma really didn't care enough about you before, so you I don't blame you for not being close to her. But this time, grandma is also kind and wants to persuade you to agree to study abroad. Don't be so rude to her. Also, we are really doing it for your own good ..."

An Xiaoran just looked at him and didn't speak.

An Liangqing continued: "Also, even if your mother is alive, she will definitely agree with me. I hope you will study abroad."

An Xiaoran asked: "How do you know that mother would think so?"

An Liangqing thought that An Xiaoran was finally persuaded by himself, he said: "It's only natural, because we are all parents, how can we not hope that our children will have a bright future and be successful in the future? Poor parents all over the world." , all for the good of the child. The more promising you will be in the future, the happier your mother will be in heaven."

An Xiaoran suddenly said: "You are wrong."

An Liangqing was taken aback for a moment.

An Xiaoran lowered her eyes and said softly: "The day my mother left, she held my hand and said that she hoped that someone would replace her in the future, accompany me, hold my hand, make me happy, make me happy... ...As long as this is the case, she is satisfied. She doesn't care if I succeed, because to her, my happiness is the most important thing..."

"As for you, Dad, maybe what you need is not a happy daughter, but an obedient daughter who can make you proud! You have been moving yourself and feel that you have given a lot, but you never thought However, maybe, your contribution is not what I want at all."

After saying this, she turned and went back to the room.

Looking at her back, An Liangqing's lips trembled a few times, but finally he didn't say anything, but sat down on the sofa.

Back in the room, An Xiaoran lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time.

She touched the phone, and her thoughts flew to Chen Chen, full of grievances, she really wanted to talk to Chen Chen, but she gave up the idea in an instant.

Apart from increasing Shen Chen's worries, it can't help other things.

As long as she insists on not agreeing, Dad has nothing to do.

After thinking of this, she sat up and took out a book.

He opened the book and found a piece of paper inside.

This piece of paper is the love letter Shen Chen wrote to her before.

After An Xiaoran took out the love letter, she gently unfolded it.

Look at the rows of "Baby, I love you."

From the first one to the last one, the girl's mood suddenly improved.

With crooked eyebrows, she lightly kissed the love letter, then folded it and put it back in the book again.

Then he lay back on the bed again.

This time, An Xiaoran fell asleep not long after, and she was extremely peaceful, dreamless all night!
