1917: The Attitude Then

The Attitude Then

After that, when Lin Jinshu set up Wang Juhuai, it was also his parents who'd staunchly supported Lin Jinshu, claiming they'd do right by her.1

Of course, Lin Jinshu's family also contributed to the pressure.

Thinking back now, she was so naive as to assume that Wang Juhuai's parents had been forced by the Lin family.

In reality, it was simply a good cop, bad cop situation.

Wang Juhuai's parents had looked like they'd been pressed and righteously insisted on Wang Juhuai taking responsibility.

In reality, they were just acting with Lin Jinshu's parents.

Only she and Wang Juhuai were in the dark. What a joke.

But now, she understood everything.

Xia Qingwei felt Wang Juhuai must've understood this long ago.

Hence, he wasn't that happy when he heard his parents were coming over to see their grandchild.

He even said to her, "You don't have to talk to them, just being superficial will do. Agree with whatever reasonable stuff they say, and don't be bothered if they are unreasonable. If they go overboard, you don't even need to care about superficial courtesy."

There's no reason why both of them had to be bullied by his parents at their age.

Xia Qingwei could hear from Wang Juhuai's words that he had seen things clearly since a long time ago.

He did not inform his parents when they married.

Not because he was afraid of rejection and wanted to get things done first.

Wang Juhuai wasn't afraid of this, nor was he irresponsible.

He merely thought there was no point.

As a son, he would be filial to his parents within his acceptable limits.

As long as they didn't go over the line and do what he couldn't accept.

But, that was it.

As for big matters like marriage, Wang Juhuai reckoned his parents had no need to know, so he had no need to inform them.

If they knew, then they knew.

The only message he was sending was he never planned to make them call the shots.

They could no longer do that for him.

Frankly, the Wang family wasn't some family with old money.

At that period, they could afford to let Wang Juhuai learn the violin and migrate.

These expenses weren't something an average family could afford.

Wang Juhuai's parents chose to invest in migration. They already had a company in China. Though small, it was enough to support their expenses for migration.

Hence, they shifted the company to the US. It was similarly small but enough to support their living expenses in America.

Then Wang Juhuai became an internationally renowned violin maestro, and the company did better than before.

Afterward, the company was passed to Wang Jugu while they enjoyed retirement.

However, Wang Jugu clearly did not possess the capabilities Wang Juhuai had.

And because of Wang Qianyun's issue after that, Wang Juhuai was unwilling to let Wang Jugu use his name for his own benefit.

Thus, the company suffered losses day after day under Wang Jugu, and it barely managed to supply their income for their current lifestyles.

But Wang Juhuai's parents suffered nothing because of Wang Juhuai's care.

Thus, in the Wang family's then condition, Wang Juhuai's parents naturally became close to Lin Jinshu.

The Lin family's company was much bigger than theirs.

Even when Wang Juhuai and Lin Jinshu were divorcing, his parents still advised him to not follow through.

But by then, Wang Juhuai wasn't a youngster who's easily manipulated.
