Chapter 114: Chapter 114 She Can’t Ruin Him_1

"It wasn’t me who asked him to come!" Mrs. Cheng couldn’t help but sigh deeply, put down the cabbage in her hands, and led her to the side, "I might as well tell you the truth, Haozi doesn’t have a wife at all."

"He came to see me before the New Year. I accidentally, cough cough, inadvertently mentioned your divorce, and after he heard it, his heart ached terribly. He told me and your brother-in-law that he’s been thinking of you all these years and hopes you would give him a chance to take care of you and your child."

Mrs. Cheng spoke, and her wrinkled eyelids couldn’t help but redden, tears swirling in her eyes, "It’s rare to find such a devoted young man in this world!"

"To remain unmarried for the sake of one woman, even your father is no match for him!"

Mrs. Xia’s eyes also turned red in an instant, her lips trembling, she stepped back incredulously.

He...

He remained unmarried for her all these years!

But back then, she had clearly humiliated him, calling him a good-for-nothing and a ruffian, saying he would never achieve anything in his life, and that even if all the men in the world died off, she wouldn’t marry someone like him.

She had hurt him so much, was he crazy to still like her and even want to marry her?

At that moment, Mrs. Xia’s heart was in turmoil, feeling both unworthy for him and ridiculous for herself, and a flood of emotions overwhelmed her.

After a good while, her rationality returned, she took a deep breath and said with conviction to Mrs. Cheng, "Mother, I beg you to relay a message to him for me, asking him to let go of this thought. There was no possibility between us before, and there won’t be any now."

A perfectly eligible bachelor with excellent prospects would be ridiculed if he married a twice-wedded woman, especially one with six children; even his parents and family would be laughed at by the neighbors.

She couldn’t bring disaster upon him like that!

"Why are you so stubborn, girl? You are both single, why is there no possibility!" At that moment, Mrs. Cheng wished she could crack open her daughter’s head, spitting with frustration, "Don’t tell me you’re planning to live in widowhood for the rest of your life. If that’s true, do you want to anger me to death?"

"Mother, it’s the New Year, don’t talk about death, it’s so inauspicious!" Mrs. Xia’s eyes reddened.

Seeing her about to cry, Mrs. Cheng hurriedly softened her tone, "I’m just anxious for you. If you were about my age and widowed, I would swear not to make you find another, but you’re still so young. How can you be resigned to live alone?"

"And most importantly, he truly likes you. Aren’t you moved by that at all?"

Mrs. Xia had a heart of flesh, how could she not be moved at all, but "Mother, I understand what you’re saying, but as a woman who has been married twice, how can I be worthy of him?"

"And, and you know how much I looked down on him back then..." It would be too hard for her to marry him now and swallow her pride.

"Do you think I haven’t asked about these things? He said, he doesn’t care, he doesn’t care about any of it," Mrs. Cheng patted her hand, signaling her to be at ease.

In the past, they mother and daughter were truly blind to not see that this seemingly rogue youth was actually a devoted man of ability.

"Mother, don’t say anymore. He may not care, but I do. I don’t want him to wade into this muddled water and end up being pointed at and mocked," Mrs. Xia took a deep breath, her expression resolute as tears slid down the corners of her eyes.

The better he was, the less she could allow herself to ruin him.

Such a good man deserved a better woman.
