Chapter 376 - 375: Balancing
Qi Younian handled Ye Xinyan’s plaintive pleading with reluctance, finally standing up to make one last attempt at persuasion, "Clothes can be new again, but people can’t return to old ways, Ye Zi, consider it carefully. You’ve been married to Lord Jiang for three years, you know what he was like after he married. Others haven’t lived with you under the same roof, and as the saying goes, it’s easy to get along when you meet, but hard to live together. Only after you truly live with someone do you realize that they are far different from what you imagined, and by then it’s too late."
Ye Xinyan looked at Qi Younian with a frown, her grandfather was set on Jiang Yifan, why? What was wrong with Wong Qiao?
She stopped urging Qi Younian to leave, instead, she stood still and stubbornly asked, "Are you saying, Grandpa, that you’re unsure of Wong Qiao’s character? Afraid that he’s not what he appears to be?"
Qi Younian was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "No, that’s not it, Ah Qiao is a good kid. But, you really aren’t suited for him, you would overwhelm him. In a marriage, if he’s unhappy, how could you be happy?"
"How could that be? How could I do that?" Ye Xinyan retorted immediately, raising her eyebrows. How could she possibly overwhelm someone to the point where they couldn’t breathe, she wouldn’t do that to anyone, right? She couldn’t believe her grandfather would say such things about her.
Qi Younian stepped back, settled back down at the table, and spoke slowly, "Ah Qiao has contributed significantly to the Construction Industry since he arrived here, but his help was also under your guidance. Ah Qiao has his strengths, but you haven’t spent much time learning them, nor do you need to. You’ve always been directing his work, advising on various matters, drawings, construction, the extension of the apparatus structure.
Most of the time, you’re consulting with each other, but we all know the essence of this ’consulting.’ You are the one who is in charge of the affairs, and he is working under you. This is not how couples should interact. It might not seem like a big deal at first, but letting a man live like this forever is not okay."
"Balancing the two sides, as a man, faced with an exceptional and dazzling person like you, and Second Miss Zhou, who is lively and cheerful with ordinary abilities, I’m afraid more would choose Second Miss as their wife."
