Chapter 24: See Eye to Eye
Translator: Doris
Sorry. It had been a long time since I posted last time.
I didn't login in the post these days. And just now, I found the most asked question was "Are you still alive?" Why did you ask? I didn't understand.
Anyway, I was alive, safe and sound. Don't fret.
The second most frequently asked question was "Have you got the answer?"
Well, today I came here for continuing it.
When we had midnight snacks that night, I was supposed to ask about the travel to Japan, but he talked to me about the change of my nationality first.
Since I wrote it in my post, all of you were wondering if he did it for getting married with me...
Of course I knew it was impossible. After all, it was not an idol drama. But I had fantasized about it.
... I may be too fond of fantasies.
The reason why he did that was the same with that of my grandma. It was because of the economic property. To be exact, he wanted to protect his private property.
It was also complex to talk about it, and I was at no position to speak of it. If you knew a bit of the law about the private property in China, you would understand it.
In short, there was mainly two points of his plan.
First, change my nationality, then I had the same nationality with my dad. Second, transfer a lot of property to me.
I should be glad with such things, right?
But in fact, I was not that happy, at least it made me torn.
On the one hand, my grandma disagreed with it. I understood her. If I was her, I wouldn't agree either. Although she had been a professional woman, she was still a person with old-fashioned views, even closed minds. Of course she wouldn't agree to give me too much property.
On the other hand, it was such an important plan, however, my dad had asked A and B for help without discussing with me.
Moreover, he spoke of it that night in a way of announcing a notice.
I was also a man!
How could he make decisions for me with money?
Moreover, it was not a legal behavior. I guessed that my dad did it to make preparations for a rainy day. Of course I'd like to contribute to it, but his attitude made me aggrieved.
That sounds like I was just a tool, being used by him.
I felt sad.
So, I said, "I don't want to change my nationality."
His talk was interrupted by me suddenly, which made me astonished. After a while, he nodded, not continuing to persuade me. He only said: "It does not matter. Be happy."
Why did he change his mind so fast? Originally, I was unyielding. But now, I felt a bit guilty.
I said, "Have you done it for a rainy day?"
"I can only say that it was part of the reason." He said.
I said: "what about the main reason?"
He said: "My main reason is what you can own after changing the nationality."
Alas. It suddenly sounded a little touching.
I said: "Then why didn't you tell me early?"
Listening to it, he looked at me with a look as if I was dumb and said, "Hasn't your grandma had told you? If she doesn't tell you, I'll do it. Now that she has told you, I don't think it's necessary for me to do it again."
I:......
Theoretically, my dad was right. I had nothing to say.
'At this point, if I still complaint about it, I'm definitely crossing the line. ' But I was still angry that he used me at random, which made me aggrieved.
Then I asked him: "But grandma disagreed. What should I do?"
"So I ask you to discuss with your grandma." He said.
I felt like I had been tricked again.
In short, he really wanted me to agree to his decision. Later on, he told me a lot of his ideas about the decision in order to convince me.
Rationally, this plan was really wonderful. I could find nothing negative about me.
But no matter how beneficial it was to me, my sensibility didn't allow me to agree.
Legally, he was my dad. So it was only natural that I listened to him when I was a child.
Now that I had grown up, I certainly did not want to be arranged in terms of the need for personality independence, even if I could get his property.
There was no such thing as free lunch in the world. So I thought if I accepted it, I would be controlled by my dad to a certain extent.
In addition, to accept his suggestion meant I had to betray my grandma.
I couldn't do such a thing. At least, it was hard for me to accept this behavior right now.
Therefore, we did not end up seeing eye to eye.
Besides, the trip to Japan was another thing about which he told others without discussing with me.
Essentially, it was the same with the matter of changing my nationality, for he made decisions for and controlled me directly. Thinking of it, I felt it scared me.
Even if I had strong feelings for and coveted him, I wouldn't be as obedient as his pets or toys.
I had to admit that it was a fact that the relationship between me and my dad was unequal. But if we were couples one day, our love should be based on equal personality and psychological.
Well, I might have thought of it too much. After all, it was a headcanon going on my own mind to have an affair with my dad.
I wondered whether he had considered this situation.
Thinking in his position, I guessed that he must think that I, as his son, should inherit his property and bear the responsibility of contributing to the future of the company.
Well, it was bad that we couldn't discuss about an issue with each other frankly.
Our relations changed for the better for less than two months. But it was as though our relations were cornered to a dead end again. Therefore, I stayed at home these days, not going to see him. And he did not call me either.
