Chapter 1257 Take It Seriously
"Wait a second." Ruan Yiqian said with amusement, "What do you mean by these three types of men?"
It was his first time hearing about these three types of men; Shen Mianmian always had a way of suddenly coming up with terms he didn’t understand.
"A ’mommy’s boy’ lacks decisiveness and centers his life around his mother; a ’phoenix man’ is someone with poor personal conditions who wants to rise in social status by marrying into a wealthy family; as for a ’plain confident man,’ that’s just someone ordinary yet self-assured," explained Shen Mianmian.
Ruan Yiqian chuckled, "Mianmian, where do you hear all these interesting terms? Your descriptions are quite apt."
Shen Mianmian raised an eyebrow, "Brother, that’s not the point, okay? We were talking about Sister Shiping’s situation, get serious."
Hearing this, Ruan Yiqian casually inquired, "Li Shiping is so outstanding, how could she fall for such a man? Don’t Li Yue and Li Julin have any opinions about this?"
"Isn’t it because Wan Dongcheng is good at deceiving?" Shen Mianmian sighed, "Sister Shiping was just starting college at the time, she was rather naïve, how could she have seen through Wan Dongcheng’s schemes? His mother is also quite a character, wanting to marry him off to a wealthy family to climb the social ladder, and even had dubious relations with her own students. That’s why their marriage ended in divorce."
After a pause, she added, "Brother, I’m telling you all this because I hope you’ll think it through. If you really want to pursue Sister Shiping, you need to consider whether you can accept her past. Sister Shiping is a person who values loyalty deeply, and I don’t want to see her get hurt again. She has stayed away from relationships all these years because she’s afraid of encountering the likes of Wan Dongcheng again. The past has definitely left her with considerable hurt."
The Li Family has always been very good to Shen Mianmian, and she has never forgotten their kindness. If Ruan Yiqian and Li Shiping were to get together, it would be adding in-laws to family, but if Ruan Yiqian couldn’t accept her past, then he shouldn’t go and disturb Li Shiping.
Ruan Yiqian let out a sigh, "What a pity."
As for what he found regrettable, he didn’t say.
Shen Mianmian was somewhat perplexed, "Brother, about that shopkeeping matter, do you have anything else?"
