Give Love to Dad - Chapter 114 Compromise

Xia Ling truly loathed the smile in Zou Bei's eyes. The sharp pain of her nails digging into her flesh couldn't clear her head. Zou Bei was 20 years old, a woman with a seductive appearance yet giving off a pure and beautiful aura—enough was enough! Xia Ling narrowed her small eyes, a malicious glint flashing within them; Zou Bei, you'd better pray you never make a mistake, otherwise…
Zou Bei hadn't been very active these past few days. When Nan Qianmo left that day, he somehow returned and gave Dingdang a huge pile of medicine, instructing her to give Zou Bei her medicine on time every day. He even bought a new bottle of spray. Zou Bei was touched, but also felt a slight pang of sadness. "Nan Qianmo shouldn't be so good to me," she thought, "it's not worth it."
After resting for about a week, Zou Bei's legs were able to jump around again. She hadn't received any notification from the company, and Long Tao didn't even give her a second glance. Zou Bei had a lot of unspeakable suffering. She hadn't betrayed anyone, and Long Tao's disbelief made her very sad. He was the only one who knew about Zou Feng's affair. This feeling of being gripped by guilt was very unbearable for her.
On Saturday, Zou Bei slept in late. The sun shone through the window onto her bed, warm and slightly scorching. The dormitory was unusually quiet; Ding Dang must have seen her sleeping soundly and hadn't called her out. She rubbed her dizzy head before slowly crawling out of bed. The glaring sunlight made her squint her slightly dazed eyes; "Mmm..."
Although Long Tao was stubborn and had been irrationally angry at Zou Bei for a long time, it was simply because he was too worried. Perhaps the feelings he had developed since childhood wouldn't fade away in just a day or two. Zou Bei got up, tidied herself up, reached under the table to pull out her phone that had been charging the night before, and dialed Long Tao's number. The call was answered a few seconds later, and a voice came from the other end: "Hello."
"It's me." Zou Bei cleared her throat, pinching her dry throat. The feeling of not brushing her teeth was very uncomfortable.
"I know." The tone on the other end remained calm and even.
Zou Bei scratched the hair that was falling around her waist and asked, "Are you at school?" But then she felt a little scared. "I haven't eaten. I'm waiting for you at the school gate." She hung up before the other person could reply.
Both emotionally and rationally, Zou Bei felt that she should have a serious talk with Long Tao about Nan Qianmo. Since they were working together, they couldn't afford to fall out over such a small matter. Besides, their years of friendship shouldn't be ruined by something so trivial.
After a quick wash, Zou Bei changed into a casual outfit. The light-colored clothes made her look even more relaxed. Grabbing her wallet and phone, she hurriedly ran out of the dormitory. As she went downstairs, the fresh air invigorated her. Taking a deep breath, Zou Bei ran towards the school gate.
Long Tao was already on campus when he received Zou Bei's call, which surprised him. He hadn't seen her when he came back that day, and afterwards he was very worried. He had agreed not to let Zou Bei and that person be alone together, but he acted impulsively. In fact, he regretted it as soon as he left the house that day.
The reason he hadn't spoken to Zou Bei for the past few days was to allow everyone to calm down. True friends are hard to come by, especially since Zou Bei was someone he had liked since childhood. Even though they couldn't be together, those feelings were still there. Long Tao repented as he picked up a pebble from his feet, his hands in his pockets, feeling even more uneasy.
Zou Bei saw him as soon as she came out. He was still acting all arrogant. She walked up to him and saw that he was still looking down. Zou Bei asked, "What's on the ground?"
"Huh? No." Long Tao replied awkwardly, taking his hand out of his pocket, feeling uneasy about putting it down.
"Then why are you still watching?" Zou Bei glared at him angrily; "I haven't eaten."
"Oh, I'll take you there." Long Tao thought for a moment and stepped back behind her, like a wronged daughter-in-law; "You choose the place."
Zou Bei changed her expression to a smile and slowly walked towards the school gate; "You're treating!"
"Alright, Miss, you decide what to do." Seeing that Zou Bei was still the same as before, carefree and easygoing, Long Tao put his little scheme aside, grinned, and chased after her; "Um..."
"Huh?" Zou Bei mimicked him, turning around to ask, "You still don't want to?"
"Yes, yes." How could Long Tao dare to say no? It was already an honor for him that Miss Zou would grace him with her presence!
"What are you muttering about me for?" Zou Bei looked at his glaring face, put her hands on her hips; "Dare to say it and I'll cripple you today!"
Since you've said that, Long Tao didn't dare to say anything more. He followed obediently behind you and didn't speak at all when they arrived at the small restaurant. It wasn't noon yet, and there weren't many people in the restaurant. There were a few students still there, probably because they had eaten breakfast and hadn't left. Zou Bei took the lead in finding a waiter and asked for a private room. She turned her head slightly to Long Tao, indicating that they should go to the private room.
It was called a private room, but it wasn't very big. It was the kind of room that was partitioned off by screens, and there was probably no one next door, so it was very quiet. The size of the space was acceptable, with a long table and four stools. It wasn't crowded at all for two people. After Zou Bei finished ordering and waited for the waiter to leave, she got up to pour water for Long Tao, and then poured some for herself, before slowly saying, "Nothing you want to tell me?"
"What did you say?" Long Tao asked nervously, taking a sip of water from his cup, avoiding Zou Bei's gaze.
Zou Bei was surprised and smiled, "I think you have something to say."
Long Tao put down his cup, sat up straight, stared at her, and mockingly tugged at the right corner of his mouth, his eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a mature man's charm for no reason; "Zou Bei, why do you have to make me say it? Even if I don't say it, you should know what I want to ask."
"Because of the general manager's relationship?" Zou Bei cut straight to the point, her expression flawless, but a spark was slowly rising in her heart. Did Long Tao think that my relationship with him was not so good?
"I guess so." Long Tao leaned back, his back against the chair, twirling his teacup with his right hand, and said slowly, "We're still students. Working part-time is something we can only do during holidays. Not only would we be too busy, but even if we could, it would interfere with our studies. We can leave that aside, your grades have always been excellent, but haven't you noticed what you were like when you were with Nan Qianmo?"
"What does it look like?" Zou Bei asked.
"I've only ever seen that expression on your face when you're with Uncle Zou." Long Tao's words were like a fishbone stuck in Zou Bei's throat, impossible to swallow or spit out. Tears slowly welled up in her eyes, and her surprised expression trembled. Long Tao continued cruelly, "You went out to work without Uncle Zou's knowledge, which was already an act of defiance. Now, you've gotten involved with the general manager. Zou Bei, have you thought about how Uncle Zou will react if he finds out?"
“I…” Zou Bei shook her head, looking at Long Tao to explain, “He’s just a boss, Dad… Dad wouldn’t say anything if he knew.”
"I don't think so." Although Long Tao had never seen Zou Feng get angry, he had seen how much he cherished Zou Bei. Since they had decided on their relationship, how could someone like him bear to let Zou Bei go out to work, especially in such a profession?
"Do you discriminate against this profession?" Zou Bei retorted.
"It wasn't me!" Long Tao felt that the person in front of him was just pretending to be stupid; "The key issue now is your problem."
"What's wrong with me?!" Zou Bei's voice unconsciously rose; "Can't I work? Can't I be a model? Can't I make friends? Does everything I do have to be known by my dad?"
“I think you need to ask yourself that question,” Long Tao retorted defiantly. “You don’t love him anymore, do you? You’re no longer willing to invest in your love, are you? You told me firmly back then that it was your choice and that you wanted my support. Now, what support do you need from me?”
Long Tao's hoarse voice, like a web of silk threads, thin yet crisp like steel sheets, cut into Zou Bei's heart, a heart that had been carelessly broken. A faint pain spread to the soles of her feet, then from the inside out. With each question, it was like a knife, leaving Zou Bei nowhere to escape.
"No...it's not like that..." Zou Bei couldn't find her own voice, like a dimly lit oil lamp, flickering and dimming, her tense emotions once again on the verge of exploding.
Just as Long Tao was about to reply, he glanced at the door; "Knock knock..." Two knocks, the food must be ready. He took the tissues from the table and handed them to Zou Bei; "Wipe yourself first."
Before I knew it, tears had already overflowed. The waiter served the dishes in an orderly fashion, glancing at the two people inside one last time. I thought to myself, "Young people these days are really something else. Not only are they dating so young, but they've made it public knowledge." But the two of them seemed well-matched. The girl was beautiful, with a clean and simple, pure气质 (qi zhi - a kind of refined elegance/aura). The guy, well, he was just a tiny bit more handsome than me. The waiter reiterated, "Just a tiny bit more handsome... a little bit of sunshine, a little bit of vitality, and a little bit..."
"Aren't you hungry? Let's eat first." Long Tao set out the bowl and chopsticks for her, and seeing that the person opposite him was already in tears, he comforted her, "This can't be rushed or delayed. I still hope that you quit your job, study hard, and we can talk about it after you graduate."
"Impossible!" Zou Bei rejected. "I don't think I did anything wrong. Even if I love him to death, I can't give up what I love." Yes, she loved him deeply, even to the point of life and death, but wasn't this job for their future? She didn't want her father to suffer alone. She had promised that person that she would support him, and she didn't want to break her promise. In this life, Zou Bei would always live with Zou Feng, and she couldn't give up because of any external interference. She should have more confidence and pursue this career she loved.
Long Tao's hand, holding chopsticks, froze in disbelief. When would the stubborn Zou Bei finally see her own heart? His already sharp features softened, and he chuckled softly, "Fine." If this was truly her choice, he had nothing to say. Perhaps in front of Zou Bei, he could only ever compromise, support her, or perhaps he could simply be a pillar of support for her, letting her run wild, letting her cause trouble.
"Will you come with me?" Zou Bei composed herself. She and Long Tao had both signed contracts and were going to be on the same stage. She hoped that while Long Tao could support her, he could also have his own ideas.
Long Tao asked, "Do you want me to go?"
"think."
"Then let's go."
