Chapter 890 - 409
"Who made them give birth to such a good son?" someone said sourly.
"I don’t see anything great about Xu Haoyang, though. There are plenty in our circle who are handsomer than he is. And there are those who are better than he is. Why did the Xiao family’s eldest lady take a fancy to him of all people?" This person voiced the doubt in everyone’s minds.
If Xu Haoyang were the most outstanding among their peers in this circle, they would have been more at ease. But after much thought, they still couldn’t figure out why Xiao Shiyao, the eldest lady of the Xiao family, would be interested in Xu Haoyang.
"There are plenty of people better than Xu Haoyang in our circle, but among those of Xu Haoyang’s age, who has a cleaner private life than Xu Haoyang?" someone in the crowd held a glass of wine, swaying the glass while laughing with an especially sarcastic tone.
Each and every one of them was jealous of Xu Haoyang, jealous of the Xu family. Why didn’t they think about what their own children were like, or what their own family situations were like, all murky and shady, not nearly as clear and clean as the Xu family. "There are many among you with better family backgrounds than the Xu family, but whose households are as clean as the Xu family’s? Personally, I think that the Xiao couple made a shrewd choice picking Xu Haoyang from the Xu family. You all think that with the Xiao family and Situ family’s current status, they need to trade their daughter’s lifelong happiness for something? What they want is just for their daughter to be happy, that’s all."
The others turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw an unfamiliar face.
What this stranger said was like a sword piercing directly into their hearts. "Who is this, spouting nonsense?"
"Exactly, thinking they are someone important."
While people said this, they took the stranger’s words to heart, murmuring among themselves and eventually dispersing.
