The next day, the Su Family Parents had the butler call me and Su Yingqing to the study.
There, Mr. Su sat quietly behind the desk, his gaze deep. "Xiaoran, Yingqing, we have decided to support your love." Mr. Su's voice was firm, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. Madam Su also nodded gently, warmth flickering in her gaze. "We believe in your love."
Su Yingqing and I exchanged smiles, our hearts filled with surprise and hope. However, this joy did not last long. Disagreements within the family quickly surfaced, and the decision of the Su Family Parents faced much opposition.
But Su Yingqing and I did not give up; we decided to change their views with our persistence and sincerity. Standing before the family elders, we saw determination in their eyes. Su Yingqing held my hand tightly, our gazes revealing the same resolve.
The faces of the family elders were filled with anger; they were dissatisfied with the decision of the Su Family Parents. "You are destroying the family!" A family member's voice echoed in the study, accusing the Su Family Parents of undermining the family.
A flicker of determination crossed the eyes of the Su Family Parents; they knew this decision would spark a storm within the family. "We believe in the power of love," Mr. Su stated firmly, meeting the gaze of the family elders without flinching. Madam Su nodded as well, her voice gentle yet resolute. "Yes, we are also willing to support Xiaoran and Yingqing."
Opposition within the family quickly surfaced; an elder slammed his hand on the table and shouted that the traditions of the Su Family could not be changed by a momentary impulse. "This is not a momentary impulse." I looked directly at that elder, my voice calm yet firm.
"This is our well-considered choice." Su Yingqing bravely stepped forward, her voice clear and firm. "We are willing to bear all consequences for love." The expressions of the Su Family Parents began to grow complex, their beliefs wavering under the pressure of family expectations. "Perhaps we should reconsider," Mr. Su said in a low voice, the light in his eyes dimming. "After all, the family's reputation is also important to us." Madam Su sighed as well, a hint of helplessness flashing in her gaze.
I recalled the diary I had stumbled upon, which contained stories about the ancestors of the Su Family. "Please wait!" I interrupted the meeting loudly, pulling out the yellowed diary from my pocket. "This is a story about the ancestors of the Su Family. I hope you will listen to it before deciding whether to change your views."
The atmosphere in the conference room began to shift, the elders' expressions changing from anger to contemplation. I read aloud from the diary, clearly articulating its contents—a tale of love and choices that mirrored our own situation. "This story speaks of the power of love and how our ancestors chose love over family."
"It is a touching story that tells us every era's love deserves respect," an elder slowly spoke up, a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. "Every era has different loves and different choices." Tears shimmered in Su Yingqing's eyes as her voice trembled with emotion. "We are simply choosing our love; is that wrong?"
The family elders began to contemplate this new perspective, their attitudes gradually softening. The family conference room fell into a long silence, revealing complex emotions in the elders' gazes. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief; perhaps this story could prompt the family elders to reconsider their decision.
"This is just a story."
A young family member stood up, a glint of cunning in his eyes.
"Even if this story is true, it doesn't represent the current situation."
My heart and Su Yingqing's sank; it seemed this struggle was far from over.
In the face of the family's opposition, Su Yingqing and I decided to prove our determination and abilities through action.
We were willing to accept any challenge, hoping they would give us a chance.
