Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1183 - 781: Confrontation

Second watch.

----------

Yang Xiaoli’s slightly exaggerated excitement made Chuxia pause, and then she understood. In this era, even if someone thinks the same way, they wouldn’t speak it out. So her agreement was very precious to Yang Xiaoli.

Perhaps not everyone in the family agreed with Mr. Yang’s way of doing things. With this in mind, Chuxia nodded and indicated her willingness to visit the Yang family next time she returned home.

Chuxia’s straightforward agreement made Yang Xiaoli even happier, so she candidly confessed: "My brother doesn’t approve of my dad’s way of doing things and basically doesn’t talk to him. My mom understands, but she also dotes on my brother, so she never openly supports my dad. If my dad knew you acknowledged him, he’d be particularly happy."

Chuxia was taken aback: "Don’t make it sound so important; I’m almost afraid to go."

"I’m not exaggerating, I’m telling the truth. Apart from a few senior experts he’s protected, most people only seem to respect my dad on the surface while secretly looking down on him.

I’ve been close to my dad since I was little, so after seeing the truth, I’m not influenced by the outside world. But my brother cares about face and feels my dad embarrasses him, making him unable to hold his head up among friends.

My mom spoils my brother and treats him like her precious gem, so her stance is almost entirely with him. That’s why I especially hope someone will give my dad a bit of confidence..."

Hearing her becoming increasingly dramatic, Chuxia quickly interrupted: "Where is your dad lacking confidence? If he lacked confidence, he could never have achieved his current position or arranged for us to meet?"

"No..." Yang Xiaoli looked embarrassed, "That’s not what I meant. I mean, my dad thinks that few people in this world can understand and support him. Though he says he doesn’t care, I know deep down, he does care. I feel for him, Chuxia, you understand what I mean, right?"

"I get it..." Chuxia smiled helplessly, "You definitely see things too seriously. If you don’t believe me, find a chance to have a deep conversation with your dad and explore what he’s thinking.

Let’s put it this way: he was able to protect so many senior experts during such dangerous times and still managed to rise in his position, becoming the head of a city. That’s definitely not the mentality or responsibility of an ordinary person.

Now, maybe few understand him, but in the future, more will come to understand him. Your brother is young and prideful now, which is why he’s at odds with your dad. Someday, he’ll understand and genuinely accept him."

"Let’s hope..." Yang Xiaoli sighed, "Sometimes I don’t know if I’m right or my brother is. Anyway, even though my dad made our family life pretty good, our relatives don’t speak well of him.

This isn’t just my wild guess. Many times, I’ve accidentally overheard them bad-mouthing my dad behind his back, but in front of him, they all put on a good face.

It makes me angry, and I wish my dad wouldn’t care about them, but he just sighs, pats my head, and says I’m too young. One day I’ll understand that some things aren’t as simple as they seem.

Yuan Mengmeng and Qi Jihong’s dads have always worked under my dad, so I’ve played with them since we were little. Originally, I thought their dads definitely approved of my dad, but I was proven wrong.

Before applying to Medical University, I had talked with them. At the time, they both said they wanted to apply with me, but later I learned neither of them applied. In fact, when Qi Jihong learned I was applying, she immediately gave up the idea.

The reason for this situation is that Uncle Yuan and Uncle Qi found better patrons, so to show their loyalty to the new ones, they are unwilling to associate with my dad any longer.

I originally couldn’t understand this and even wanted to confront Uncle Yuan and Uncle Qi, but my dad talked me out of it, saying everyone makes their own choices. Since he couldn’t offer them a better future, he couldn’t blame them for seeking higher connections.

I told you before, my grandpa really doted on me, but no matter what I said, he never approved of my dad’s methods. He said back in his days, he didn’t play such complicated games, yet his position was higher than my dad’s.

In the past, I often argued with my grandpa about this. Now that he is seriously ill, I don’t dare to upset him at all, but I know his disapproval really hurts my dad.
