Chapter 1025 - 1066: A Man Needs to be Coaxed
Li Yifei was still drinking with Xu Zhenguo at his home, and both of them were quite happy with the wine, which made their spirits even higher.
Inside the house, it was the three women of the Xu family. Xu Yingying and her mother were sitting on the edge of the bed, while Xu Shanshan was kneeling on the bed, her arms wrapped around her mother’s neck.
"You, my girl, are choking me to death. You can’t even sit properly. Look at your sister, she’s married a good husband. Why don’t you make some effort? You never seem to get anything right."
Xu Shanshan immediately retorted discontentedly, "Mom, aren’t you being too blatantly biased? If it hadn’t been for me, could my sister have ended up with my brother-in-law? You’re just cutting off the bridge after crossing the river."
"What bridge am I cutting off? I’m considering the most important affair of your life! You managed to find a good husband for your sister, so you should try harder yourself. When will you find someone like your brother-in-law for us to meet?"
Xu Shanshan rolled her eyes and said, "Brother-in-law is so impressive, there’s no second one like him in the world. You’re asking me to find someone like him, aren’t you making me destined never to marry, Mom? That’s a pretty harsh curse."
"Enough with the disruptions, I’m speaking about serious matters with your sister," her mother turned to Xu Yingying and said, "Yingying, I’m not criticizing you, but in the future, you can’t be so busy with work all the time. A woman ultimately has to prioritize her family. Even if you have a successful career, it’s a failure if you don’t have a happy family. This time, that girl Lin Qiong ended up with Yifei and it was largely your fault. If you were with Yifei every day, then how could he have had the chance to be with someone else?"
Xu Yingying felt somewhat speechless. What was all this about? Li Yifei had an affair, and now she had to shoulder most of the blame? Her mother was really being too partial toward Li Yifei.
"Mom, am I your daughter or is Yifei your son? I feel like you’re just endlessly making excuses for him."
"A son-in-law is still a son. Isn’t everything mutual? If I treat my son-in-law well now, won’t he take good care of me in the future?"
