Chapter 564 - 562: That’s Called a Pitiful Hurry
Zhou Biyao was initially bewildered when she listened, and even after Ye Xinyan had finished speaking, she stared blankly at Ye Xinyan, slowly processing the meaning of those words.
Only then did the stern face of Lady Zhao appear in her mind, and following the scenes described by Ye Xinyan, she could see herself, like an aggrieved daughter-in-law, serving a senior who did not like her day after day. Any slight disobedience would lead to the elder complaining to Third Brother Wong, asking him to stand up for her.
The mothers-in-law she had heard about all made their daughters-in-law comply in this manner.
What would Third Brother Wong do in that situation? Would he staunchly defend her and take his mother’s complaints lightly?
Probably not, right? That was his mother, the one who raised him single-handedly without a husband to protect and provide for the family.
Zhou Biyao looked up at Ye Xinyan with a face full of sorrow, "How could this be? Third Brother Wong is Lady Zhao’s only son, isn’t her son’s happiness a mother’s wish?"
Ye Xinyan sighed and said, "I believe Lady Zhao also wants Third Brother Wong to be happy, but more than her son’s happiness, she would prefer her son to still consider her as the most important person."
"I, I..." Zhou Biyao opened her mouth several times before realizing that she hoped she would be the most important person in Third Brother Wong’s life, which was absolutely in conflict with Lady Zhao’s wishes.
Ye Xinyan took out a handkerchief and handed it to Zhou Biyao, saying, "Alright, crying won’t solve the problem. You should think carefully about what you really want. If marrying Third Brother Wong is your only goal, no matter how aggrieved or downtrodden you live your life, even if you can completely give up on yourself, then, given your family background, even if Lady Zhao opposes, you will likely get what you wish for."
Seeing Zhou Biyao wanting to speak, she raised her hand to stop her, "Don’t rush to talk. This is a matter for a lifetime, you need to think through everything thoroughly.
