Chapter 285: Chapter 204: The Dual Unity Chapter_2

"What if they can’t live well together?" The woman’s expression did not relax. "That girl is from a rural area, and with Xiaomi’s bear-like temper, it would be odd if they could get along well!"

"Xiaomi, that kid, barely speaks, but his principles are sound. You can tell he’s promising. I had hoped he would become the Ye Family’s son-in-law, but alas!" The old lady sighed before continuing, "If things don’t work out, let Meiru make it right."

"Mom..." The woman’s eyes instantly widened. "What do you mean?"

"Meiru has been married once, and Xiaomi has been married once, too. That’s fair."

"Right..." The woman’s eyes lit up. "Xiaomi has stayed single for so many years, which shows he’s always had Meiru in his heart. Initially, he might not have been able to get over the fact that Meiru was married, but now, it’s all good. We don’t have to care about what others say. Mom, you’re so smart. Indeed, experience comes with age!"

"Thinking this way is a bit selfish, but what else can we do? It can also be considered making amends. Yuxian, don’t blame your dad for being so angry with her. Apart from the Zhou family, she has also implicated the Ye Family."

If she hadn’t insisted on leaving recklessly, Zhonghe’s rank would definitely not be lower than Jingping’s. Zhongliang and Zhongjun could have also been at a higher rank. Originally, the Ye Family was on par with the Zhou Family."

"Now we’re only half a step behind them. If it weren’t for your dad’s influence still being around, I guess we wouldn’t even be eligible to become in-laws with the Zhou family anymore."

"No matter what, we are still a hundred times better than that rural girl."

"Yes, that’s true, but some mistakes..." The old lady sighed, "can’t be compensated for by family background. We’re only thinking this way now, but even if Xiaomi can’t live well with that rural girl, it’s not certain he can get back together with Meiru. Sometimes men take that barrier too seriously."

"Mom..."

The old lady waved her hand: "If Meiru weren’t my granddaughter, I would also think she’s not good enough for Xiaomi, even if he has been divorced once. She still wouldn’t be a match for him."

The woman pursed her lips, clearly disagreeing with the old lady’s words.

"Yuxian, you always think Xiaomi has a bad temper and no other woman can live well with him. But have you thought about it? If he only knew to dote on his wife and didn’t strive for better, would he be where he is today?

You want a man with status and also want a man to be with you every day. Meiru is just stupefied by her studies. How can you, as a mother, be so foolishly in agreement with her?"

"Mom, I’m sorry."

Whether she truly realized her mistake or not, the woman called Yuxian sounded quite sincere.

Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan strolled in the back for a little while, thinking the old man might not pay attention to them, and quietly turned back. But as soon as they showed up, they found the old man standing there, smiling at them.

The couple suddenly felt nervous, and Zhao Yulan squeezed out an awkward smile: "Uncle, hello to you... We meet again, hehe..."

"You guys..." The old man chuckled, "are still trying to pull the wool over my eyes. You’re in-laws with the Zhou family, right? What’s so embarrassing about knocking on the wrong door? Besides, if you’re really embarrassed, you should have just left it with me. If you stall any longer, the Zhou family will realize you’re missing and start looking for you. Wouldn’t that be more embarrassing than this?"

"Both are embarrassing..." Zhao Yulan laughed sheepishly, "It seems the other way is a bit more embarrassing."

"There, isn’t it settled? Actually, I knew right away which family you were from. Who in this neighborhood don’t I recognize? Moreover, the more you try to hide it, the more you confirm my suspicions.

If ordinary relatives got lost, they definitely wouldn’t mind asking for directions. Only real parents would worry this much about their children. Am I right?"

Lin Baohe quickly nodded: "Uncle, you’re right."

The old man pointed towards the Zhou family’s mansion: "Come on, I’ll go back with you. It’s a good chance for me to take a stroll and see how the Zhou family’s house is looking."

Zhao Yulan hesitated a bit: "Uncle..."

The old man shook his head with a chuckle: "I know what you’re worried about, don’t worry. I’ll just say we ran into each other by chance, and I’m going with you to have a look."

Zhao Yulan looked grateful: "Thank you! Uncle, really, thank you!"

"What’s there to thank me for? I have a daughter, too. I understand your worries. By the way, how did your girl and Xiaomi end up together?" The old man asked with a chuckle, "Don’t mind this nosy old man. Xiaomi is like a kid I watched grow up. That boy’s standards are high. When people introduced him to prospective brides, he wouldn’t even take a look. I was still wondering what kind of girl he was waiting for, and then suddenly he got married. I’m really curious."
