Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 82 Be aware, Xiaolan!

"You know what, Xiaolan."

Yingsheng said: "When Lawyer Fei fell into the absolute lowest point in life, there were only two ways to go.

One is that she is gradually overwhelmed by the trivialities of life, which wears away her spirituality, makes her vulgar, and like other women, she gives up her past and independent personality, becomes a complete vassal of Mr. Maori, and becomes a walking corpse.

The second is to cut off the shackles and achieve great liberation!

I tell you frankly, when you cried in the rain and begged your mother to stay and not leave, you almost hurt her.

Your love for her is a web that binds her true nature. If she had not had great willpower and determination to leave you behind, her life would have ended on that day.

That rain was not sent by God for your sadness.

But for her.

To welcome Lawyer Fei back to this cold but vivid real world, to congratulate her on her new life! "

Feeling Xiaolan's hand become stiff, Yingsheng stopped.

He waited for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Ignorance is not a crime. You were still young at the time, so it's not your fault. The biggest problem lies with Mr. Maori. He didn't hold you back at the time. Maybe he was also in pain. But if you think about it maliciously, maybe he also knew that he couldn't stop you by coming forward, and you were the most powerful shackle?"

Xiaolan's body trembled, and she looked up suddenly:

"Dad he...Dad he..."

She really wanted to say that her father was not that kind of person, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.

Just as Shuiyuejun said before, people’s minds are full of endless distracting thoughts, and many things may just depend on a single thought, which even the person involved cannot explain clearly.

"Maybe, maybe not, anyway, it just happened like that, the specific reason is no longer important." Yingsheng sighed: "But Mr. Mao Li seems to have not realized his problem yet, this guilt, he can't escape.

Judging from the current situation, after Lawyer Fei left, did you take over her part of the housework, while Mr. Maori is still sloppy?
Tsk, the more he talks, the angrier he gets. I think he'll just have to stay in the hospital for the rest of his life."

"what--!!!"

As soon as I stepped out of the hospital gate, I heard screams from inside, and vaguely heard something like "someone was seen committing a crime."

Yingsheng seemed not to hear anything, and his steps did not slow down at all. Xiaolan looked back, and feeling the strength in his hand, she also hurriedly took two steps back to Yingsheng's side:

"Dad is indeed a bit rude, so I would like to ask Shuiyue Jun to make him change his ways."

Yingsheng shook his head: "Haven't you figured it out yet? I told you this from so far back just to make it clear that Mr. Mao Li was not a good guy ten years ago. It's a thankless task to change him. Just stay away from him."

"But……"

Xiaolan hesitated for a while and stammered, "He works as a tutor to supplement the family income, which shows that he still cares about his family."

"Really? This is just self-admiration no matter how you look at it. Do you still regard him as a shining point?"

Yingsheng was helpless: "Look at the life of lawyer Fei after she left him. In just ten years, she created a huge world in the legal world from scratch, and continued her glory as the Queen of Teidan, and was called the undefeated queen.

You know, this was her achievement after being delayed by marriage for eight years.

If she had never left the legal profession because of her family, her current achievements would certainly be even more brilliant. Even if such a person does not consider more important things such as social reputation, in terms of economy alone, he is definitely making a fortune.

Does she still need Mr. Maori to support her?
If she flicked a fingernail at random, it would probably make Mr. Maori dizzy."

Xiaolan felt her face getting hot with shame. She whispered weakly, "Dad isn't that bad. I heard he had a good record in the police force and later switched to a detective career. It's just... just..." "Huh? You don't even know this reason?"

"It seems to be related to my mother, specifically..."

Xiaolan paused again.

This made Yingsheng helplessly cover his face: "Xiaolan, Xiaolan, Xiaolan, to be honest, I still think that your parents, especially Mr. Maori, have the biggest problems, but your subjective initiative is really too poor."

Xiaolan lowered her head. Indeed, she was actually a very bad person. She...

"Hey, hey."

Yingsheng raised their tightly clasped hands and waved them in front of her eyes: "Look what this is?
The contract.

I can understand everything about your past as mental immaturity caused by family factors, and a kind of 'learned helplessness' caused by too much denial and rejection.

But now I'm by your side, and I'm determined to help you, and you still refuse to cooperate and act weak, then I'm going to be angry.

Not to you, but to myself.

I have been trained by Xuantian for many years, but I can't even do such a trivial thing. I am not worthy of the name of 'Tianshu'. I might as well go back to the furnace and be retrained."

Xiaolan was stunned.

Shuiyue-kun...what weird things are you saying again?

Yingsheng smiled slightly: "In short, when you are confused and can't see the way, let me provide you with guidance. Of course, this is just a transitional stage. In the future, you must awaken your nature and completely control your life, otherwise..."

"Don't!"

Xiaolan interrupted in a hurry, raised her other hand and covered Yingsheng's mouth. She looked grateful, and seemed to have a hint of inexplicable complex meaning, and said softly:

"I will do it, absolutely!"

Yingsheng pushed her hand away and smiled slightly:
"Do you think I would say that I would be so upset if you couldn't do it? Ah, that does make sense, but I actually want to say that if you can't do it, then you'd be sorry for having lived in this world, that's all."

Xiaolan shook her head. She believed what Yingsheng said, but only half of it.

A strong emotion surged in her heart for a while, and finally turned into words that flowed out hesitantly:

“Are these… also within the scope of sightseeing?”

"Ha, of course. Do you need a reason to do something like this? Just like when you took the initiative to care about me half a month ago, did you have any utilitarian motives? I told you, if you want to do something, just do it, don't think too much."

Xiaolan pursed her lips: "But..."

"Nothing to worry about."

Yingsheng held her hand a little harder, but his tone remained calm: "Excessive thinking will only make you dull, raise your head and look into my eyes."

Xiaolan immediately followed his instructions and looked into Yingsheng's dark eyes. They were deeper than the night sky and brighter than the stars!
"The first thing you need to do now is to take out your phone and call Megure Jusan."

Without any hesitation, Xiaolan responded decisively:
"it is good!"
