The End Times as a Song

Chapter 119 Persuasion

"Long girl, are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'm leaving...!"

Seeing Tu Shanlong remain silent, Yan Cai grew anxious. She couldn't help but urge him, then got up and pretended to leave.

"Hey...! Don't go, don't go...! I still have something to ask you...?"

Tu Shanlong stood up in a panic, grabbed Yan Cai's sleeve, and stopped Yan Cai from leaving.

"So dramatic...! Just tell me already...!"

Yan Cai Diao lightly touched Tu Shanlong's nose, urging Tu Shanlong to speak quickly.

"If, and I mean if, one day you find out you have an older brother...? Could you accept that?"

Tu Shanlong stammered as she spoke to Yan Cai, not daring to even look her in the eye.

"Just because of this...! You were crying your heart out just now, just because of this...! You're really being unreasonable...! Isn't it good to have another brother who loves you? Isn't this a sure-fire way to make money?"

Yan Cai quickly covered her mouth with her fan; she almost burst out laughing, but she managed to hold it in. She then began to analyze the situation for Tu Shanlong.

"But was it right for my mother to neglect me for so many years because of this brother?"

Tu Shanlong seemed to have listened, but she didn't understand. She asked Yan Cai a question in return.

"Your mother neglects you, not your brother. What did your brother do wrong...? What does it have to do with your brother...? Besides, wasn't your brother also a pitiful wretch who was abandoned?"

Yan Cai grew anxious, and she continued to patiently explain to Tu Shanlong.

"But I just can't accept it...!"

Tu Shanlong understood a lot more now, and she looked at Yan Cai and said another sentence.

“Long girl, if you can’t accept it, that’s your own problem! Your mother’s neglect is her problem, what does it have to do with your brother? Isn’t he a victim too?”

The analysis of the rock painting was presented logically and with evidence.

"...!"

Tu Shanlong had nothing to say. She stopped speaking, lowered her head, and thought about it carefully.

"What's wrong...? Haven't you figured it out yet?"

Seeing that Tu Shanlong did not refute her, Yan Cai glanced at him thoughtfully and continued to analyze the situation for him.

"What you said seems to make some sense...? It really has nothing to do with Tu Shanyan...? Are you saying that if anyone's to blame someone, it's my mother?"

Tu Shanlong listened for a long time and thought for a long time before finally understanding the meaning of the second half of Yan Cai's story. Tu Shanlong then asked Yan Cai another question.

"Hey...! Stop...! Don't talk nonsense, I didn't mean that...? What are you thinking? You need to analyze your relationship with your mother separately. Although your mother hasn't been very loving towards you all these years...? But hasn't your father made up for it? As far as I know, the Tushan clan chief has spoiled you a lot over the years...!"

This infuriated Yan Cai. She widened her eyes, interrupted Tu Shanlong, and continued her analysis and explanation.

"But can what my father can give me be the same as what my mother can give me?"

Tu Shanlong was still trapped in a vicious cycle, and asked Yan Cai another question.

"How could you be so stupid? Don't you think the same solution would solve the problem?"

Yan Cai was furious. She took a deep breath and cursed at Tu Shanlong.

"Ah...! What you said seems to make a lot of sense...!"

Tu Shanlong seemed to have suddenly understood.

"Of course...!"

Yan Cai folded his hands in front of his chest and said confidently.

"Then why should I cry...!"

Tu Shanlong wiped away her tears, rallied her spirits, and straightened her posture.

"That's right...! Silly girl...! I just praised you for being smart...!"

Yan Cai was relieved. She watched Tu Shanlong being both praised and scolded, and no one could tell whether she was praising or scolding him.
