Chapter 254 Going to the Xiao Family to Propose Marriage
Upon hearing her son's description of the girl, Huixin realized she must be a somewhat unruly type. However, since she herself wasn't exactly known for her good temper, she asked, "What does Yiyi do?"
"He's also a doctor. He went to the same school as Ashu before, but then went abroad to study and only recently returned to China."
"Wow! So she's a girl similar to Yun Shu. Son, Mom must help you win her over. If you miss this girl, my son will probably be a bachelor forever!"
Upon hearing that his mother was going to pursue her daughter-in-law again, Huai Nan immediately stopped her in fright: "Mom, I've already told you she has a boyfriend. Please don't treat Yi Yi the way you treated Yun Shu before! Please!"
Xie Huixin pouted and said, "Nannan, don't worry. This time, I'll go to the Xiao family to propose marriage first. If the Xiao family parents and Yiyi are not willing to agree to this marriage, Mom will definitely not force Yiyi. Besides, Yiyi is not like Yunshu, who has no status in the Gu family. Their parents will definitely ask clearly before they are willing to marry their daughter into our family. In addition, Mom will not interfere this time. Let your dad handle this matter. He is a civilized person and has good manners. He won't always hold you back like Mom does. Besides, Mom doesn't dare to make a fuss anymore. Your grandfather is watching, right, Lao Sheng?"
This time, Huainan's father rarely nodded. He knew about the Xiao family, and they were Yun Shu's friends. People say you can judge a person by their friends. Yun Shu was a good girl, so her friends couldn't be any worse. The Xu family's daughter had reportedly found a good husband, and now the Xu family was even more powerful. Similarly, if Xiao Yiyi married Huainan, the couple would feel at ease. More importantly, Huainan liked that girl, and she liked him too. Knowing Huainan's health and previous marriage, she still liked him, which made him think she was a sensible and good girl. So this time, he was determined to swallow his pride and help his son. His son would be thirty next year, and if he didn't get married soon, he would really be afraid of marriage.
It's all Gu family's fault, Yunle. She's wasted so many years, and Yunle has also wasted several years of her youth. What a tragedy!
Seeing that his son is outstanding in every way, he will definitely restrain his wife after he gets married and not interfere in Huainan and his wife's future affairs. Then the Sheng family will be better off...
After thinking for a while, he said, "Huainan, Dad will send someone to her house to ask her parents for their opinion. Since there's no news of their daughter's marriage yet, it means they're not engaged. Don't worry, we won't be considered to ruin their marriage."
"Old Sheng, it's rare to see you not confused for once!"
Hsieh Hui-hsin was truly happy this time. Even Huai-nan's father agreed with her, and his intervention was much better than her messing around.
"Dad, but I've already rejected Yiyi. I really... don't want to hurt her!" Huainan still objected, loving that woman and not wanting her to suffer any harm.
"Wouldn't you feel bad if you saw that girl marry another man?"
"I……"
“Son! You’re too good. Before, with Yun Shu, you treated her like a younger sister so that she could be with Xiao Mingkun. Now that you’ve met Yi Yi, can you bear to let go again? Just consider it being selfish for yourself this once. Besides, that girl doesn’t mind your body and that you’ve been married before. She’s been abroad for many years and received a Western education, so her thinking will definitely be very open-minded. As for whether you have children in the future, it doesn’t matter!” Sheng Dongyan looked at the obvious pain on his son’s face and knew that he really liked that girl.
“Dad, Yiyi actually said she doesn’t need children. She’s afraid of having children. If she wants one, she can have one.”
“Isn’t that even better? Our Kang Kang is already here!” Li Meng immediately chimed in.
"Dad, let me think about it!" After saying that, Huai Nan went upstairs, wanting to calm down.
After Huainan went upstairs, Li Meng spoke again: "Old Sheng, do as you say. Our son is good in every way, but he is too kind and indecisive. By the time he makes up his mind, Yiyi will have already been snatched away by another man."
“Alright! I’ll send someone to the Xiao family to sound them out in the next couple of days. Don’t rush things, the more anxious you are, the less effective it will be. If Huainan and that girl are meant to be, they will be together sooner or later.”
"Well... alright, I'll listen to you. I won't get involved. I'll see how you handle things, otherwise Dad will blame me again."
"That's a human life! Huixin, remember this! Don't end up like Yunhuan, or you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later."
"I only wanted them to make a fuss, but I never expected them to have an accident. I've been a vegetarian for the past few years and have been donating to charity, hoping to atone for my sins..." Several years have passed, and now when she thinks back, she was really crazy. If her husband hadn't tried so hard to protect her in front of her father-in-law, she might not be in the Sheng family by now.
Seeing that she had genuinely repented over the past few years, Huainan's father felt that his wife was still salvageable. As for Yunhuan, she was incorrigible and acted on her own whims, which is why she had gotten into trouble. Old Gu must have been disappointed in her, which is why he gave up on rescuing her.
After the couple finished talking, they went to the kitchen to ask if the soup was ready. They planned to make it for the father and son later; their son had just returned from a business trip, and his father was home too, so they wanted to give them something nourishing.
After tidying up a bit, Li Meng from the Gu family asked her driver to take her to a hospital. She wanted to talk to Yun Shu about releasing Yun Huan.
When Li Meng saw Yun Shu, she finally believed that Yun Shu was still alive. She had just finished her shift and was instructing the nurses. From a distance, Yun Shu looked far more outstanding than her two daughters. It was remarkable that a child without a mother could live so well, while her two daughters, whom she had raised with such care, had disappointed her more and more, especially Yun Huan, her most beloved child, who had become like that.
The other Yunle wasn't close to her; she'd lost in this life, lost to a dead person...
Just as Yun Shu was about to leave the office, she saw Li Meng standing at the door. She guessed that this woman would come to see her in person.
"Speak, what is it?" Yun Shu didn't want to waste words with her and directly asked her to state her purpose. She felt uncomfortable just seeing this woman and knew why she had come.
"I...I'm here to talk to you about Yun Huan." Yun Shu's imposing presence made Li Meng a little scared.
"Oh! What are you planning to say? Are you also trying to get me to drop the charges and not sue Yun Huan? Heh... What reason do you think you can use to convince me!"
"How much money? I can give you whatever amount you want. Yun Huan... she's still young. After this incident, she won't hurt you again. From now on... she'll definitely be a good person, yes... a good person!"
