Chapter 568: Is there a play or not? Part 2
He Xii quietly asked Su Peng for his opinion after the girl’s parents had called her into the room.
“Mom, Su Peng and I want to be like friends first. You know I’m still planning to set up a shop in the city and I don’t want to marry too early,” Wu Wenli said, having earned quite a bit of money for her family, she held so sway at ho.
“You silly child, I’m asking if he agrees. If he does, you should marry first. I’m telling you, all this dating and stuff is fake; getting married first is what’s real. n, especially those who are well-off, might change their minds any ti.”
“Mom, if he’s that kind of person, I should be even more cautious. If after we married, he becos inconsistent, it would be who suffers. This shows how important it is to really know a person before marrying. Don’t you think?”
“My girl, I can’t win against you. I an, Su Peng’s a catch; he’s exceptional-looking. If you don’t have too many objections, just go ahead and marry him. I’m telling you, a man becos responsible and accountable once he’s married. With his good prospects, you must secure him, otherwise soone else will, and then what will you do?”
“Mom, I believe what’s ant to be mine will be mine; if it’s not ant to be, no matter what, it won’t be mine.”
…
“Pengzi, what do you think of the girl? If you have no objections, Mom can arrange a ti with them to settle this marriage. I think she’s great, attractive and seems to have a good temper. Pengzi, I’m telling you, it’s best to stop thinking about those you shouldn’t. Focus on what’s right in front of you. Do you understand?”
She knew her son’s heart all too well; it was still fixed on that one person.
But would that person be willing to be with him? Setting aside other things, her impure motives in approaching Pengzi and her intention to harm Xiaofeng made it impossible for her to be with Pengzi.
“Mom, don’t talk nonsense. I just feel that this is the ti for my career to take off, I want to learn more. We could start as friends, and if we really find ourselves suitable, we’ll marry sooner or later.”
After saying this, Su Peng wanted Xiaofeng to help him explain, only to find that Sister Xiaofeng and her two siblings were not around: “Where’s Xiaofeng?”
“Xiaonian had too much to drink, Xiaofeng took her out for so fresh air.”
At lunch, the cooking was done by Wu Wenli, who not only had good tailoring skills but was also a competent chef. Seeing how great the girl was, He Xii really wished he could just marry her off to Pengzi, but his son’s attitude was quite frustrating to him.
However, as both had agreed to start as friends, it revived so hope for both sets of parents.
That could an there was still a chance for them to make it work.
On the way back, He Xii criticized Su Peng a lot: “What are you even thinking? I’m telling you, I really like Wenli; you should get on well with her and stop thinking about all that nonsense.”
“Xiaofeng, look at our mom, acting like marriage is so trivial matter. Marriage is a big deal, what if we find out later on we’re not suited for each other? It would be so embarrassing, don’t you think?”
“Mom, my brother’s thoughts are not wrong. Marriage is significant, we can’t just decide on it in a mont. It’s a new era now, we can only know if we’re truly compatible by spending ti together. If it turns out we’re not compatible, getting a divorce later would upset you even more.”
“Since you’re speaking up for him, what can I say,” He Xii sighed: “I’ve co to terms with the fact that I may not be able to hold my grandchild for another five years.”
“My brother is already twenty-five, if we delay it further, by the ti he’s thirty, it might be hard to even find soone who’d be willing.”
“Pengzi’s thoughts aren’t wrong, let’s do as Pengzi thinks,” Guaizi said softly.
Nearby, Xiaonian was still singing, switching songs occasionally, sotis singing loudly and sotis softly, but thankfully, her voice wasn’t too bad, sparing their ears.
“Mom, I really don’t have ti to think about marriage right now. All I want is to learn more, otherwise with my current knowledge, how would I manage more people in the future? Isn’t that right?”
“Alright, I won’t bother you anymore.” He Xii of course understood her son’s aspirations and was genuinely content with his progress: “As long as you know what you’re doing, it’s fine. If you really want to start sothing with her, do it properly. And if not, just tell her directly, we can’t lead her on.”
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
