Chapter 195 - 187: Brown-nosing
"Duan Muhong looks gentle and refined, and doesn’t seem to have a bad temper. He’s also been devoted to you for a long time. It’s just a pity that somehow he’s not to your taste."
Xia Yuan sighed with a smile, as she had discussed her daughter’s marriage with Lu Aiguo long ago. As long as their daughter liked a man, they would not demand a family of power, only that he had good character, decisiveness, a family without a lot of messy issues, and most importantly, that he truly cared for Xiaoyun.
To see if a man is good, what’s actually more important is not his family background, nor his appearance, but rather his personality.
A man without his own opinions, who’s too pliable and easily swayed by others, doesn’t have the ability to be good to his wife. Such a man might have all the external conditions and may seem very fond of you now, but as soon as he faces a challenging situation, especially a major one, he will lose his bearings. Then, if someone with evil intentions, with a hidden agenda, comes along to stir the pot, he could be led into a pit, possibly even regarding the instigator as a "benevolent savior."
For a woman, being with a man like that is definitely unfortunate.
"I actually think that what he has is not so much devotion, but more of a sense of discontent." Upon recalling Duan Muhong’s remark "My father is Duan Cangsong," Lu Yun couldn’t help but chuckle.
Discontent? That’s quite possible. "What’s so funny?" Xia Yuan, after considering Lu Yun’s words and finding them to be reasonable, asked curiously as she saw her laughing.
Lu Yun recounted the previous events up to a certain point and then, thinking about the rest, suddenly felt a bit uneasy herself.
