Chapter 2490
I hope you love yourself
"Huh?..." He Yuzhu was caught off guard and stammered in response.
"Is the film crew you found for An'an reliable?" Liu Ting glared at He Yuzhu before asking.
"Reliable...right?"
"After all, it's CCTV. An'an should be able to learn a lot there." He Yuzhu answered hesitantly, not because he was unsure about the production team, but because he was unsure about his own daughter.
He was genuinely afraid that He would go to great lengths to get He An accepted, only for He An to cause trouble after a few days.
"Are there any good-looking young men in there?" Liu Ting asked again, this was her real purpose.
He Yuzhu and He An rolled their eyes in unison.
This mother is so insecure about her daughter's appearance.
With He An's looks, he has completely inherited Liu Ting's advantages and even surpassed her. Why would he worry about not having a boyfriend?
But there's nothing we can do; she's the mother.
I guess in her eyes, all she sees is her daughter's shortcomings of being lazy and greedy.
Parents always feel insecure when their children don't follow the path their parents have laid out for them and instead forge their own independent lives.
Parents who are controlling and easily swayed often make irreparable mistakes during this stage.
For example, pressuring children to get married, or forcing them to give up their dreams and choose a stable life...
To be honest, if He Yuzhu hadn't been taking on most of Liu Ting's pressure for He An, it would have been a huge relief.
He An's life wasn't so carefree.
When they got home, He Yuzhu pulled He An into the study. The father and daughter stared at each other, and He Yuzhu didn't know how to speak first.
He An sat opposite He Yuzhu, cupping his cheeks in his hands, watching his worried old father with great interest.
"Dad, how about I do what Mom said and actually find a male celebrity to date?" He An was deliberately stirring up trouble.
He Yuzhu overheard Liu Ting thinking about finding a boyfriend for her daughter on the film set while he was in the car, and he immediately objected.
Then Liu Ting gave him a thorough dressing-down.
The key issue was that he couldn't explain the reason at the time.
Hearing his daughter talk about it again, he couldn't help but angrily yell, "Get lost!"
"If you dare to work in that industry, I'll break your legs."
He An curled his lip; this old man was getting less and less funny.
If she wanted to date a male celebrity, she wouldn't have waited until now.
What handsome male celebrities in Hong Kong doesn't she recognize?
"None of the people in there are clean."
"Whether they're handsome or not, how many of them can lead a decent life in the workplace?" He Yuzhu didn't notice his daughter's little actions at all, and instead voiced his concerns.
"Then find someone like my brother-in-law?" He An teased again.
He Yuzhu was speechless. A short-tempered mother, an anxious father, and a hopeless daughter…
This family is in trouble.
He took a deep breath, releasing the frustration in his heart, and then said to He An seriously, "Whatever kind of partner you choose, as long as they are good to you, Dad will support you."
As long as you are happy.
But Dad also wants to remind you of something: don't treat emotions and marriage as a game.
Otherwise, you'll be the one who gets hurt in the end.
····
Okay, let's not talk about that anymore.
Let's talk about your work, since you're aiming to make a name for yourself in fashion design.
Then you must study the aesthetics of our traditional clothing.
Ten years east of the river, ten years west of the river.
It seems that Western aesthetics are popular both outside and inside our own homes.
But let me tell you something. As Lu Xun said in his "Essays from Qiejieting", only what is national can be international.
If you want to cultivate this field deeply, then you have to calm down and study the culture left by our ancestors.
Not just clothing, ...
This filming of Dream of the Red Chamber would be a great opportunity for you.
He Yuzhu has now mastered the art of quoting classical texts frequently. This is understandable, as he has read extensively over the decades.
In particular, his memories of his past life allow him to compare the conclusions drawn from the wisdom of the ancients in the book with the events of his two lives, which deepens his understanding.
He Anken's agreement to come back shows that she is genuinely interested in this job.
He gave up a high-paying job in Hong Kong Island, earning over HK$2,000, and chose to return to Beijing to work as a costume and set design assistant, earning just over HK$30 a month.
If it weren't for her hobbies and ideals, she would have been out of her mind and wouldn't have made this choice.
"Dad, let's talk this out!"
I can go to this company, and I can also meet some of the blind dates my mom introduces me to.
But I definitely won't stay in Beijing in the future.
Once I've completed my studies, I want to open a fashion design studio in the south or Hong Kong Island.
You'll have to help me make arrangements then.
·····
Yes, I promise you, it will be after He Ping gets married.
I will definitely find a partner.
I won't date anyone who's involved in organized crime, nor will I date any gigolos.
I'll definitely find a decent person.
As for the children, don't expect anything from me.
"This world has so many wonderful places and beautiful scenery; I want to visit them all." He An took the opportunity to make this request to He Yuzhu.
Looking at his little girl's eyes full of longing, He Yuzhu felt a sense of panic, as if he were about to lose his daughter.
He knew what kind of life He An wanted: complete freedom, where neither soul nor body was bound by worldly constraints.
He panicked because of this.
He simply couldn't understand that kind of life.
Just like the poet who later became a symbol of freedom for many young people and wrote "Spring Blossoms".
That person's soul was probably ethereal and pure, at least when they wrote poetry.
But that person made a mess of his life.
If his own daughter turned out to be like that, He Yuzhu might die young from anger.
He closed his eyes in pain, waved his hand, and signaled He An to get lost.
As He An tiptoed towards the door, He Yuzhu said in a deep voice, "An'an, Dad can give you some options to back you up."
You know, Dad has that ability.
As long as you don't do anything like murder or arson, Dad can help you.
There's no other reason, you're my daughter, and your mother and I both love you.
But I also hope that you can take responsibility for your own life.
I don't want to put my parents at ease, but at least I can be a little more reliable.
You need to be clear about what will happen if you get hurt in the future, no matter what.
You're not the only one suffering.
Your mother and I are definitely experiencing the same pain.
And you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
I hope...
Never mind, get some rest...
In the end, He Yuzhu still didn't make any specific demands on his daughter.
Both father and daughter were sleepless tonight. (End of Chapter)
