Chapter 260: Cold War
John's words actually have some meaning of a thorn in the bone.
College students of the same age in the United States and Ma Ling, although the relationship is not as messy as some American dramas, such as 90210 and the like, go to a party, or meet someone somewhere who looks pleasing to the eye and has feelings, and on a whim, the spring breeze is once, or goes to a bar, and rolls together with someone I don't know in a daze...... That's not unusual.
Like Ma Ling, who gave birth to Vincent for nearly a year, it is really rare to have no other male partner.
Their openness is really open, they say that men and women are equal, that is true equality, for example, in "sex", both parties have needs, they are very happy, and there is no question of who suffers.
Unlike many girls in China, while shouting for equality between men and women, all kinds of grievances have to be paid for breakup and compensation.
Ma Ling and Feng Yiping, from the point of view of the Americans, are actually not a problem, the man is not married to the woman, they are both twenty years old, they hit it off at a glance, who hasn't been young and frivolous?
It's just that they accidentally have Vincent's crystal.
Actually, it's not a big deal.
In all kinds of public office elections in the United States, there are generally two old questions, in addition to what do you think about homosexuality, and what do you think about abortion?
For those who are campaigning, there is a long history of how abortion is perceived.
This is a sensitive issue because the United States is a religious country, and Christian doctrine does not allow abortion.
This is another old problem with a long history, which shows that the matter of unmarried pregnancy, no, or the pregnancy of underage girls, still has a certain universality -- there is no family planning in the United States, and when an adult is an adult, or married, who still has an abortion?
John was angry that the birth of a child out of wedlock had affected his plans for his daughter, who studied economics at Georgetown University, where she was rigorous. After graduation, he went to a well-known investment bank on Wall Street.
But what he was most angry about was similar to what Feng Yiping thought, his daughter gave birth out of wedlock in college, but the child's father. It's a Chinese, not a Chinese American!
One thing that also made him angry was that his daughter repeatedly emphasized that she was the one who took the initiative in this matter.
And. John can also see that although his daughter said vaguely, she doesn't know whether she loves Feng Yiping or not, it's just that she is in it, and she doesn't understand.
Judging from her current actions - having a son for him, and taking him to see him, and still living together, it is eighty percent likely that she likes that kid very much - and that kid has a girlfriend.
Where did he put his daughter in this way, and where did he put himself? The third person and the father of the third person? John could not accept this reality.
"Dad. This is my choice, and I think it is also a good choice for Vincent, so that he can grow up with his father," although Ma Ling felt a little far-fetched when she said this, she still said it, "Vincent is so close to Feng now, do you still want to separate him from Feng?"
"I know I'm disappointed in you, but I don't want you to blame Feng if you don't agree. We'll book hotels on the other islands right away,"
Heidi sighed and touched her daughter's stubbornly tilted head, "Go back and take care of Vincent." See you at lunch,"
After his daughter left, John remained silent, "What's the use of you objecting now?" said Heidi, "but it is more likely to provoke her rebellion, and the more you oppose it." It's just that the more you push her in that direction,"
John slammed the cup on the ground, "What are they like now?"
"At least, he is willing to be responsible, although money does not mean anything, but, an eight-figure account, tens of millions of dollars, is also a kind of sincerity,"
A lot of times, money doesn't mean anything, but even for rich people like John, 8 digits can mean something.
"I'd rather he wasn't responsible, the more responsible he is, the deeper Britt is likely to fall,"
"Well, what girl, when she was young, didn't be stupid once?, when she met the right person later, she would have a wise choice," Heidi looked at the endless sea outside, as if remembering something, "they are still young, life has just begun, as long as Britt feels happy, then let her first,"
…………
"Britt, where's the fruit you bought?" Anne, who was lazily lying on the balcony sofa at the door, poked her head out and asked.
"I didn't bring any money," Ma Ling said very insincerely, glanced at his sleeping son, and squeezed around Feng Yiping.
"How's that, is it intense?" asked Anne with a grin.
Ma Ling angrily took a pillow and threw it over, "Don't go back to your room to change clothes, I've already booked a restaurant at noon,"
"Let's eat together, it means that the conversation is not bad," Anne pouted, "What a change of clothes, if you think about the world of two, you can say it clearly,"
Seeing that Ma Ling was looking for something again, she hurriedly raised her hand, "Okay, I'll leave now,"
Just as she passed by the room, she took the two small bottles on the dresser, "Your sunscreen is good, I'll use it,"
"That's what she looks like,"
"I think it's quite interesting," Feng Yiping smiled, "Are you angry with your parents?" I said, I really don't need to, John has an opinion on me, I can understand it, if it were me, I would have an opinion,"
"No," Ma Ling squeezed into his arms again, "John, he just can't turn around on some things, I just explained two sentences,"
Feng Yiping could guess that the process of this explanation was definitely not very harmonious.
…………
Americans are very casual on many occasions, such as in China, and it is common to see many American tourists wearing shorts and pulling flip-flops, openly wandering around.
However, on some formal occasions, they are very particular, such as a formal lunch at noon today.
Feng Yiping and John are okay, khaki pants with a dark blue suit, plus a tie, Heidi and Annie obviously went to do their hair, one wears a blue skirt and the other wears a black skirt, in comparison, Ma Ling, whose hair is still draped, is the most casual one.
Ma Ling's words still have an effect, John no longer picks on Feng Yiping's thorns, to be more precise, John doesn't talk to Feng Yiping at all now, and rarely looks at him, of course, he rarely talks to Ma Ling, and what he does the most is to tease Vincent.
Not only is the Cold War, but he always goes against them, for example, Feng Yiping, who made a special trip to make a strategy, recommends the local specialty Kalua roast pig, he chooses steak, Feng Yiping says stingfish, he chooses shrimp, Feng Yiping says some French red wine, he must be ...... in California.
Fortunately, there were three women at this table, plus a child who could only speak some simple words, and the atmosphere was not so cold that it made people cold.
Feng Yiping looked at this old American man who looked a little similar to Buffett, and took the initiative to deliver a few words, but when he didn't pay attention to him, he didn't bother to talk about it again, and waited until he found a good entry point.
…………
After the lunch break, the lady went swimming in a bikini, Feng Yiping hugged her son and built sand castles on the beach, John was lying on the beach chair next to him, and he was pouring beer without a sip, still ignoring Feng Yiping as if he didn't exist.
In the sea, Ma Ling wiped the water on his face and looked at the two sides on the beach, "Mom, they're going to be fine,"
"Don't worry, there will definitely be no fight," Heidi said with a smile, "John will not do such a rude thing in public, swim ours, I believe they will find a solution to the problem,"
On the beach, with his son, Feng Yiping, who had a rough castle appearance, felt as if he had found a suitable entry point. (To be continued.) )
