Chapter 242 - 230: Because I Am a Man (First Update)
Mi Xiaotian glared at Yan Zi and said, "You joke about everything, making the kids laugh at you."
Yan Zi pursed her lips. "If I don’t joke around, I’ll suffocate! Tell me, I hardly nagged at Shuoshuo, yet he still holds a grudge against me and won’t come home. I never forced him to marry Lan Ji either!"
"Aunt, I know a bit about this." Tong Airui helped Yi Luowa fix her hair and turned to Yan Zi, "Did you break up my third brother’s first love?"
Yan Zi froze. "There was something like that. But I did it for their own good! Back then, your third brother was twenty, and that girl was only eighteen. Both were still in school. Tell me, if they were together, what kind of outcome could they have? The key point is, if your third brother’s relationship was exposed, his career would undoubtedly go downhill."
Yan Zi recalled, "I didn’t say much to him back then. I just explained the pros and cons to him and let him decide."
Tong Airui chuckled, "Are you sure that’s all you said? Maybe recall it properly."
Yan Zi shot him a glare. "I did talk to the girl, fine! Nothing gets past you!"
"After you talked to her, that girl disappeared. She’s only recently shown up again. I figure my third brother is upset with you because of this." Tong Airui stood up and walked to Yan Zi’s side, placing his hands on her shoulders and saying, "Auntie, you’ve identified the root cause. The rest of the matter is up to you."
Yan Zi instantly deflated. "That girl has reappeared?! Xiaotian, you need to handle this one. That girl is really not suitable for Shuoshuo. He doesn’t have to marry Lan Ji, but he absolutely cannot marry the Su girl’s daughter."
Mi Xiaotian helplessly shook his head. "Let the kids make their own decisions."
"You don’t understand!" Yan Zi raised a hand to stop him from speaking further. "I investigated back then; her mother was a singer—not that I look down on singers—but the point is, she doesn’t even know who her daughter’s biological father is. Imagine how chaotic she must be. With a mother like that, how can that girl ever be suitable to marry into our family?"
Yan Zi seemed at a loss for words, and tears suddenly streamed down her face.
