212: 212 standing alone prominently 212: 212 standing alone prominently Well-matched in social and economic status.
These four words have persisted for thousands of years in the land of Shenzhou, and still take deep root among the upper class for good reason.
In the chairman’s office of the East Sea headquarters of Jinhai Industry, a couple who originally had a huge gap between them stumbled through decades together, yet it seed they still couldn’t break a certain curse that existed in the dark.
“What do you plan to do about the marriage arrangent with the Sun Family?”
ng iling looked at the man who had lived half a lifeti with her, a man who even now so in her own family called a “phoenix man.”
Undeniably, when she stubbornly married a common, impoverished college student against her family’s wishes, claiming it was a death-defying love would have been an exaggeration.
More importantly, it was an act of rebellion against “the will of the parents.”
Clearly visible.
The result was her victory, forcing her family to compromise as she wished.
The anger, sorrow, and helplessness of her parents at that ti remained vivid in her mory.
“You must not regret this later.”
The night before the wedding.
Her father had said only one sentence to her.
Regret.
The phoenix man of the past had now completely transford, making waves on the East Sea shore and even having his own family look up to him.
Her rebellion had gradually turned into a story celebrated for her discerning eye.
In the vast East Sea, countless won envied her.
Sitting in the position of the lady of Jinhai, to say there were regrets would be too pretentious.
But ng iling didn’t feel much happiness; perhaps everything from that wedding decades ago was destined.
The gap between the vastly different social classes had ford an insurmountable philosophical divide, which fleeting novelty could not hide.
After short-lived joy ca countless conflicts and argunts.
She had won, but the victory wasn’t complete.
Her daughter today was strikingly similar to her back then.
“I’ll call Qian Qian over to ask her.”
Shi Zhenhua wanted to understand the situation clearly.
“With that girl’s temperant, if you have her co to the company, do you want everyone to know?”
ng iling questioned, “Hasn’t she ntioned to you that she is unwilling to enter into a marriage alliance with the Sun Family?”
“She has, but I thought she was just angry with you.”
Shi Zhenhua frowned slightly.
Every family has its own difficult scriptures.
To outsiders, he indeed looked like a powerful tycoon, but his ho was a complete ss.
“When you discussed this matter with the Sun Family, did Qian Qian really agree?”
“Of course.”
Shi Zhenhua said decisively, “It was her own idea.
She said the Sun family’s boy wasn’t bad, so I discussed it with the Sun Family.
Otherwise, do you think I would sell out my own daughter for benefits?
Even if I would, the Sun Family doesn’t have that clout.”
At this point, an intimidating aura exuded from the self-made man, sothing no one dared to confront.
“Then it’s simple.”
ng iling, looking at the grand office, said solemnly, “That girl wouldn’t have the guts to play you for a fool.
She’s likely fallen in love with soone else.”
“Fallen in love with soone else?”
Shi Zhenhua’s brows furrowed.
“Her sudden opposition to the marriage with the Sun Family could only an that.”
Shi Zhenhua’s eyes showed he was deep in thought.
“Which family’s child in East Sea could be better than Sun Xiyu?”
“A woman choosing a man doesn’t only look at how outstanding he is.
Who could you compare with back then?”
Shi Zhenhua fell silent imdiately.
ng iling also didn’t ntion the past, exhaling softly, “It must be that man she threw herself at.”
“What do you an threw herself at him?”
Shi Zhenhua didn’t quite understand.
“Your precious daughter, getting the hotel key, taking the initiative to open soone’s room door and presenting herself, do you understand now?”
Shi Zhenhua was startled.
“Outrageous!”
“She is my daughter Shi Zhenhua!
Who deserves her to do such a thing?!”
“What’s the use of shouting and bellowing like this?”
Indeed, he was wealthy and powerful, but ng iling was not intimidated by him,
“If you’re capable, go discipline your daughter.
She not only lacks sha, but she was even smug when she spoke to about this.
Otherwise, why do you think I would stop her cards?”
Only now did Shi Zhenhua finally begin to grasp the full picture of the situation.
“There are only two choices now, either call off the marriage with the Sun Family before that girl causes even greater problems, since you’ve only verbally agreed and haven’t formally gotten engaged; or, force the girl to submit,”
ng iling said calmly.
“What do you think we should do?”
Shi Zhenhua asked.
ng iling looked at him, not avoiding his gaze.
“Force her to submit.”
Decisive and resolute.
Without a hint of hesitation.
Shi Zhenhua frowned.
“Haven’t you always been against marriages of convenience?”
ng iling picked up her teacup and sipped, only to find it had cooled, then set it back down.
“Although I haven’t been in the country in the past two years, I understand the child from the Sun Family.
He is gentle and respectable, a man of modesty.
Qian Qian marrying there will definitely not be wronged, and she can live a worry-free life forever.”
Shi Zhenhua’s lips moved slightly.
“I know what you want to say,”
ng iling spoke calmly: “Back then, I was indeed very averse to such arranged marriages, but that doesn’t an that this thod is necessarily bad.
At least both families know each other well and won’t have too many discrepancies in terms of values, life goals, and spending habits.
Besides, tis are different now.
How many people can co out like you nowadays?”
“iLing, the last ti you complinted seems like it was in a past life,”
Shi Zhenhua exclaid, “How quickly things fade.”
ng iling remained silent.
Shi Zhenhua poured out the water from her cup and brewed her a fresh cup of hot tea.
“You’re right, if Qian Qian really marries into the Sun Family, she indeed can live without worries.
But with her temper, even more fiery than yours back in the day, do you think she will submit?”
“She has no choice.”
The dragon slayer eventually becos the dragon.
Perhaps ng iling never thought she would beco what she once hated the most.
That’s the most helpless part of life.
Your perspective on issues changes with your status and your age.
Any woman in her position would make the sa choice.
Shi Zhenhua shook his head.
ng iling furrowed her brows, “Do you really intend to let that girl continue to be reckless and unruly?”
“I an, there’s no need to be so harsh.
She’s our only daughter, do we really have to push her to hate us?”
“Then what do you propose?”
“There’s no hurry, let’s have tea first,”
Shi Zhenhua said with a smile.
Seeing him so casual at this mont, ng iling, who didn’t originally want to argue, felt a surge of anger welling up in her chest, but before she could speak,
“Director Shi.”
A knock at the door interrupted.
“Co in.”
Shi Zhenhua remained unruffled.
Secretary Chen Zhou pushed the door open, bowed, and extended a piece of paper with both hands.
“For Director ng.”
Chen Zhou imdiately changed direction.
ng iling took it, and once the secretary left, she looked down at it and asked in disbelief, “Who is this?”
Shi Zhenhua smiled faintly.
“It should be that boy your beloved daughter has fallen for.”
