Chapter 523 - 524: Who doesn’t know he’s in a relationship?
"Not at all," Grandma Chen scolded, "Yuejie and Wanwan both liked to follow Ling Yan around, constantly calling him ’Brother Ling Yan’ and chasing after him. These two little girls even talked about growing up and marrying him to be his wives together."
"But Wanwan grew up and became sensible, and she married someone suitable. Now she has a child who is five years old. Only Yuejie is still single, not even having a boyfriend up to now."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuejie felt somewhat disheartened and lowered her head, saying, "I’m not qualified to get married. Being able to live well is already a luxury for me. Now, I cherish every day I can spend with my parents."
Hearing this, the previously jesting old ladies all softened their expressions.
"How can you say that?" Grandma Li spoke up, "In this world there is no woman who isn’t qualified to get married. Getting married and having children is a woman’s inherent duty. There is no question of qualification. Your health is pretty good right now; you look radiant, and you seem to be getting prettier by the day. What kind of person do you like? Let grandma introduce someone to you?"
"Yuejie is capable and beautiful, and her family is wealthy. If she goes out looking for a boyfriend, for sure loads of young men would come knocking on her door, eager to pursue her!"
Bai Yuejie shook her head, "No need, Grandma. I’m not planning on finding a boyfriend, to avoid burdening someone else for a lifetime."
"You can’t say that. If someone truly loves you and wants to be with you, they won’t feel burdened. They’ll take care of you and protect you, ensuring you live a healthy life. Don’t you all agree?"
"Absolutely!"
"It’s fine to say that, but you still need to be careful when choosing a partner. Not all men are good. Take the Shi Family’s genes for example; they’re excellent. Look, Old Shi is in his seventies now. Since he got married to Qian Jiao, there has only been her. You might see how Grandma Shi is now, but she was even more playful in her youth. She followed all the trends of her time. She even invested in movies in Hong Kong and thought about entering a Miss Hong Kong pageant, but it was Grandpa Shi who strongly disagreed and stopped her."
"Why bring these things up?" Grandma Shi waved her hand, yet a trace of pride still showed on her face, "Back then, if the old man hadn’t held me back, maybe I would have entered show business."
"Enough already," someone chided, "Aren’t you still involved in the fashion circle now? Your old man isn’t even happy about it. Tone it down a bit."
"Unhappy or not, he still has to follow my lead," Grandma Shi boasted, extremely pleased with herself, "The Shi Family’s genes are indeed not bad. Like the old man, the younger ones are the same. Our Ling Yan is also a man of deep affection. Ah, so many years and he still hasn’t forgotten Tang Wu. Luckily, after breaking up with that foolish woman, he finally seems interested in a girl. See, he’s gone to Imperial City to look for a partner."
This was big news, the old folks were hearing it for the first time from Shen Qianjiao.
Bai Yuejie was also taken aback and looked towards Grandma Shi.
Grandma Shi deliberately let Bai Yuejie hear this and sighed softly, "He said it was a business trip, but when has he ever been so happy about a business trip? Buying gifts, giving instructions to his subordinates, and even consulting me for every piece of clothing to ensure he looks good. This boy, ask him anything and he won’t admit it, but just looking at him like this, anyone with clear eyes could tell he’s in love."
