Chapter 684 Extremely Traditional and Conservative
As soon as she got into the car, Susu's cell phone rang. It turned out that it was a call from the Psychological and Psychiatric Treatment Center.
Could it be that Sophie had something to do? She quickly answered the call, and the other party spoke in less than standard Mandarin, "Are you Miss Gu? I am Sophie's mother."
"Hello, Auntie." Sophie was a little surprised when she suddenly heard her mother's voice.
Since Sophie's accident, her family has ignored her, and she herself feels ashamed to see her family.
She heard Sophie say that although their family was an early Chinese immigrant and had already taken root in the area, their thinking was still extremely traditional and conservative.
Sophie was born abroad and received Western education since childhood. Her thoughts are considered avant-garde in her family and the Chinese community where she lives.
Sophie didn't really have much to do at that time. She studied art and design, and she was more fashionable and open-minded in dressing. Her family was very dissatisfied with her, especially her parents who often nagged her.
Later, something like this happened to her, and her family felt that she had brought it on herself and was the result of being too dissolute.
Before Susu brought Sophie to Lancheng, she also tried to contact her family, but her family did not listen to Susu at all and insisted that they did not recognize the daughter and just pretended that she did not have such a daughter.
At that time, Su Su had a misconception that this was happening abroad or in backward places in China. She did not expect that the overseas Chinese circles were also so feudal.
"Hello, I want to take Sophie back to China this time. Can you come and meet me?" Sophie's mother said in a gentle tone.
Su Su said, feeling a little sudden, but still agreed.
She drove to the chain coffee shop Sophie's mother had mentioned, not far from the treatment center.
Sophie's mother had long curly hair and was well-maintained. She was sitting near the door. After recognizing Susu, she waved to her.#@$&
She walked over and called aunt politely, then sat down.
"Miss Gu, you are still so beautiful, what would you like to drink?" Sophie's mother asked.
Susu smiled and said: "Latte." But seeing that there was no coffee in front of her, she hurriedly asked: "Auntie, what do you want to drink? I'll order it for you."
"I want to drink Blue Mountain, but you can't drink authentic Blue Mountain coffee here." Sophie's mother raised her head slightly, and her eyebrows were somewhat similar to Sophie's, but there was a sense of superiority and arrogance in her bones.
Susu said: "The Blue Mountain in this store is okay. It is difficult to drink authentic Blue Mountain no matter where you are now. Even the Blue Mountain in Paris is made from a blend."%&(&
Sophie's mother said awkwardly for a moment.
Susu added, "Then I'll go order for you." Before Sophie's mother could say anything, she had already gone to the cashier where she was ordering.
Not long after, she returned to her seat with two cups of coffee.
Sophie's mother took the coffee and said with a smile: "This time I returned to China, I feel that the country has changed a lot."
"How many years has it been since you came back? In fact, China is pretty good now. There are some in big cities abroad, and there are them in China. And there are also things in China that are not available in foreign countries."
"Are you saying I'm behind the times?" Sophie's mother finally lowered her head and looked directly at her.
"Auntie, I don't mean that. Have you met Sophie? Is she in good condition now?" Susu didn't want to say more to her. Anyway, they have been abroad for a long time, especially if they have not been able to integrate into the mainstream of foreign countries.
Classes, and still feel that they are superior to the people in the country, they are just sitting in a well and looking at the sky.
Sophie's mother nodded and said, "Thank you for taking care of her for so long. But no matter what I say to her, she doesn't want to go back with me. Can you persuade her?"
"I'm afraid it's useless for me to say it. Seeing that her mental state has recovered, I originally wanted to take her out of the treatment center, but she just doesn't want to leave there. To be honest, I don't know what's going on with her."
Tell the truth.
Sophie's mother said anxiously: "What should I do? The family is waiting for her. Can you help me try to persuade her again?"
Su Su held up the coffee and took a sip, wondering why Sophie's family suddenly cared so much about her.
"Can I ask, before you ignored her, why do you want to take her back now?"
Sophie's mother said with a smile: "We have arranged a marriage for her and want her to go back and meet the other party. He is the son of a friend of her father's. Everyone knows the details and it is absolutely reliable."
Su Su said tactfully: "But I heard that you think she is embarrassed, so why are you helping her arrange a marriage? Aren't you afraid that she will embarrass you when she goes back?"
Sophie's mother sighed and said: "She is like this now. It would be great if she could get married. We do it for her own good..."
"What's wrong with her? Is she missing arms and legs, or is there something wrong somewhere?" Su Su couldn't bear it and said, "She just encountered some painful things. As long as she can come out of the shadows, she will be normal."
There is no difference between people. And that is not what she wants. She is a victim. As a family member, you should comfort her and encourage her, and you should not dislike her more than outsiders! You will only force her to think more hard! "
"We didn't want to, but at that time she was rescued by the police and made the news again. No one around us knew about it. Her reputation has become bad in the community where we live. What else can we do?" Sophie's mother complained.
Said: "Do you know how long our family has been unable to raise our heads in front of acquaintances and neighbors! I have told her not to put on too much makeup or wear such weird and immodest clothes. Sure enough, something happened.
Alright."
Susu said feebly: "If she puts on makeup and dresses immodestly, she is no longer a good girl? She was harmed by bad guys because she was trying to help me! Since you see her like this, don't arrange any marriage arrangements for her, and don't come here again.
Find her. Your appearance will only make her more psychologically burdened and stressed. Don't come to see her again, I will be responsible for her for the rest of her life!"
After she finished speaking, she couldn't bear it and turned around and left.
Sophie's mother was caught off guard and hurriedly chased her out, but she could no longer be seen. She was thinking in her mind that since she said she would be responsible for Sophie for the rest of her life, maybe she could help solve their family's problems.
Susu drove the car by herself and couldn't explain how she felt. She just felt that it was no wonder Sophie was always under such a heavy psychological burden. This was also inseparable from the dislike and contempt of her family.
She went directly to the psychotherapy center to see Sophie.
For more than half a year, because Tianyi disappeared, she was in a very low mood and had other things to worry about. She only visited Sophie twice, but she would have video chats with her every month.
From the video, it can be seen that Sophie is having a very happy time in this treatment center. She smiles happily every time in the video and always says that she has participated in many activities that are beneficial to the body and mind, as well as positive clubs.
