Chapter 552: Repel the Love Rival 1
In the afternoon, Tong Yao and Guo Jinnian slept in the room until past four o’clock. Guo Jinnian poured a cup of warm water for Tong Yao, and the two sat in the living room chatting.
When Guo Jinnian thought of Si Chen’s temperament and looks, she couldn’t help but praise him, "Yaoyao, you and Uncle Tong do have good taste, Dr. Si is indeed very handsome, and has a great temperament. I could tell at first glance that he is a capable and charismatic type. Besides, the way he stood up for you against Zhou Minyue at noon was so satisfying. Even though we’ve only just met, I can tell that Dr. Si really dotes on you."
From her childhood to adulthood, Guo Jinnian had never seen many men who dote on their wives like this. Most men expect women to take care of children, do housework, and even work in the fields. If any task was left undone, they’d talk ill about the woman all over the village.
Take her family, for example. Her mother, who takes care of the kids, cooks, cleans, and works in the fields every day, is beaten for the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. Despite all this, the men still don’t appreciate her. It is such experiences that discourage her from wanting to get married.
Now that she’s seen the relationship between Tong Yao and Si Chen, Guo Jinnian has become less resistant to the idea of marriage.
If there’s someone who can be considerate and caring towards her, maybe marriage isn’t that bad of an idea.
Upon hearing Guo Jinnian’s words, Tong Yao nodded approvingly, squinting her eyes as she smiled, "My dad indeed has a good eye. If it weren’t for his discernment, Ahchen and I might have missed each other, given that we are from completely different worlds and might not even have had the chance to meet."
Guo Jinnian was awed by Tong Yaohui’s ability to judge people, "Yaoyao, I’ve decided, when I return home this time, I must ask Uncle Tong to introduce me to someone. I trust Uncle Tong’s judgment."
