Chapter 459 - 441: Grief and Indignation
"You’re about to get married, yet why can’t you change your petty temper? Would you act like this in front of your mother-in-law and against Gu Feng too?" With Gu Feng out of sight, Ye Man’s mother slapped her heavily.
Ye Man pouted with a sense of grievance and looked at her mother mournfully, which only made her mother even more irate: "Did I say something wrong?"
How could this child, who was about to get married, still cling to such trivial matters? If she continued to throw tantrums like this and annoyed people, where would she go crying then?
In her mother’s mind, the fact that Gu Feng had concealed his identity was already a minor issue. She felt there was no need for her daughter to keep harping on it, and she now took delight in watching her son-in-law, a phrase that took on the meaning "the more she looked at her son-in-law, the more interesting he became."
Yet it was precisely this attitude of her mother that made Ye Man even more unable to accept it. For her, being forced to accept and forgive Gu Feng, on top of the betrayal of support from her father and mother, was simply unbearable.
"Exactly, men need to save face, you should coddle them. Otherwise, if you anger him and he goes out to drown his sorrows in drink, it wouldn’t be good if some other woman set her sights on him. Tsk, such a tall, handsome man with such a good family background—if you don’t watch over him closely, some wild woman out there will take advantage of it, and then you’ll have reason to cry."
Xiu Juan also sourly advised from the side and began to feel resentful toward Ye Man as well—such a high-quality man was in your hands, and you still act spoiled and don’t coax him. Instead, he’s the one humbling himself to you; it’s just not right.
She had initially thought that a man from a good family willing to compromise to marry a woman without family status or beauty would definitely be some kind of unattractive option, but reality was a blow—it really was like "casting pearls before swine."
