The Double

Jiang Li closed the door and asked, "Dad, what exactly did you and Jih Heng talk about in the room today?"

She was really curious.

Xue Zhao said nonchalantly, "Sister, I’ve already told you that it was about the matters the father-in-law entrusted to the son-in-law. Why don’t you understand?"

Jiang Li replied irritably, "I wasn’t asking you."

In front of Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao, she reverted to her past temperament as if she had never experienced those great hurts. Xue Huaiyuan, seeing this, was momentarily stunned, but soon he came to his senses and smiled, "Your brother is right; I did indeed entrust him with some matters. After all, I will have to entrust Ah Li to him in the future, and I am still not at ease."

Jiang Li asked somewhat nervously, "So what was the outcome?"

"I don’t care what others say about him; after all, there are too many people in the world whose appearances don’t match their hearts. Even if everyone else thinks this person is good, he might not be as kind to his family and friends as he seems. So I don’t care about other people’s comments. I have to see for myself."

"Righteous, honest, and kind people are plenty in the world, but maybe they are not whom Ah Li likes. After experiencing so many things, I am not against Ah Li marrying someone flawless with a noble character. But if the person Ah Li likes is not like that, I won’t obstruct it. Ah Li likes a person, there must be some reasons. I didn’t understand before what Ah Zhao meant, how Jih Heng looked out for you. After talking to him today, I feel that I can be at ease."

Jiang Li looked at him in surprise.
