Free Web NovelChapter 1627: Chapter 1067: Reluctant to Let Go (Part 2)
"Actually, Aunt Wan’s attitude has already softened a bit. She spent the afternoon at our house, chatting with my mother and grandmother, saying she’s come to understand a lot.
She’s actually worried that because of her opposition, you’re now being so insistent, which might lead to you only seeing the future brother-in-law’s strengths and overlooking his flaws.
I think you should really ponder over it yourself, whether Aunt Wan’s words hit the mark. If they did, then pay more attention in the future; if not, then that’s even better.
However, regardless of how things are, you should definitely have a good chat with Aunt Wan, let her know your thoughts, so she doesn’t keep worrying anxiously.
Back then, Aunt Wan and Uncle Wan’s story, which I believe you already know, she’s once bitten twice shy, even though this analogy might not be very kind, but that’s the truth, right?"
"Yes..." Qian Yan sighed, "My mom was hurt by my dad; he really is an unqualified husband and father, and she doesn’t want me to follow in her footsteps.
But, Ji Gang and my dad are truly not the same type of people. My dad has always had his nose up in the air, plus, my dad’s family was well-off before, which entirely fostered his playboy personality.
Ji Gang is different; he’s the only son in his family. Though he has an elder sister, he’s the one who shoulders all the family responsibilities. So, I believe that as long as the two of us work hard together, our future won’t be bad."
"Oh, there’s one thing I haven’t told you, the future brother-in-law’s cousin is Zhu Jianwen, that is, Zhou Mikang’s twin brother, isn’t that a coincidence?"
"No wonder..." Qian Yan looked enlightened, "I was always wondering why you suddenly were asking Ji Gang’s mom those questions. So you were verifying this. Right, how did you guess it?"
"When you meet Zhu Jianwen’s mom, you’ll know how I guessed. Those sisters look like they were carved from the same mold..." Chuxia spread her hands, "If my mom and the others hadn’t told me Ji Gang’s name earlier, I would have really thought the person you fancy is Zhu Jianwen."
Qian Yan laughed happily, "See, this shows how Ji Gang and I truly have a special fate."
Chuxia looked at her seriously, "Could you tell us why you’re so determined about Ji Gang?"
"Fate, I suppose..." Qian Yan smiled as she spoke, "You guys know what I was like before. Honestly, back then, I was thinking I had to find someone from a good family background, so I could live a life of superiority.
But after my dad’s incident, I gradually started reflecting on my own life views. What am I living for? Actually, I really don’t have lofty ideals; I just hope to live happily, and that my family can be happy too.
Money and power, they are really things that can’t be demanded. Besides, most people associated with these things tend to have a bit of arrogance and bravado. I self-assess that with my conditions, it would be hard to get those people to be sincerely devoted to me.
Really, I’m not being self-deprecating, just look at the marriages of you guys, all very perfect, but with prerequisites. Chuxia, your beauty and intelligence aren’t something ordinary girls can compare to, which is why someone like Division Commander Zhou, a paragon among men, stays devoted to you.
Xiaoqiong, your cheerful and lively personality, and with Zhao Qiliang being your childhood sweetheart, the conditions of you two are quite similar, so mutual affection makes for a naturally happy match.
As for you, Doudou, your family background surpasses Instructor Zhou’s, but he himself is capable and aligned with the right people. For him, finding a wife like you could also be considered perfect.
As for me, appearance-wise, I can only be considered average. As for family, the Qian family is already like that. Even though I live with my grandfather, I can’t justifiably utilize his resources. Besides, knowing grandpa’s personality, if I really did that, he could kick me out immediately.
My personality isn’t particularly endearing either, so if I want someone to value me and treat me like a treasure, I should find a boy to be with who won’t make me feel like I’m reaching out of my league.
At the office with Ji Gang, I didn’t have any thoughts initially. In fact, he’s quite popular in the plant, always having girls bringing him lunch.
At first, I used to tease him just like everyone else, but later I realized that he never eats the food brought by others, not even taking a bite, preferring to chew on plain buns instead.
Moreover, he eats openly with us and doesn’t feel embarrassed about his condition. I like this kind of man who doesn’t feel inferior.
Gradually, we became closer, and later, it was I who took the initiative to clarify our relationship. Of course, I didn’t mention my grandfather’s real background, just talked a bit about the situation on my grandpa’s side.
He really cares for me, always helping me with tasks within his ability, and those girls who had an interest in him would deliberately make fun of him, but he would continue doing what he needed to do.
With some people, the longer you’re with them, the farther you grow apart, but with others, the longer you’re with them, the closer you feel, and Ji Gang is that kind of person.
After deciding I wanted to be with him, I then told my mom and grandpa about his existence. My grandpa’s stance was not to interfere with me but to remind me to open my eyes wide and see clearly.
My mom was directly opposed; having no other option, I decided regardless of whether she agreed or not, to bring Ji Gang home first, force her to accept. Unexpectedly, my doing so made her more resistant.
The Ji family all coming over was Ji Gang’s decision; he wanted to show his mom and grandpa what kind of people his family was like. I admire his courage, and this is why I insist on choosing him!"
