Chapter 171 Afterward, There Is Me
On the evening of August 16, Tu Hengsha, who had just returned from work, was badgering Shu Hui, "Mom, didn’t we agree to go yesterday? Why aren’t we going anymore?"
Shu Hui sighed, "Sha, I genuinely don’t want to have any ties with either the Su or Xu family, but some things might be destined. I only wish for you to be happy. So whatever you decide, I won’t stop you, but I’m still not optimistic about your relationship. If, and I mean if, one day things aren’t going well between you, remember, my advice is still the same: prioritize yourself and don’t endure any grievances for anyone."
"But... didn’t you say you wanted to properly thank my lifesaver? The little boy who saved me back then was Xiao Xu! He even saved me once more in Jin County. Both times, my little life was saved thanks to him!"
Shu Hui listened and sighed even more deeply, "It seems it really is doomed..."
"Mom..." She didn’t like hearing that word.
Shu Hui stroked her hair, "If that’s the case, then I must remind you even more that you shouldn’t lower yourself because of the debt of gratitude. I hope you maintain your pride and dignity when facing him and his family, and again, put your happiness first. As for repaying the debt for saving your life, if he comes to our home, I will naturally treat him as a benefactor, but for me to go, it’s not very appropriate."
"Mom, why?" Tu Hengsha knew Shu Hui wouldn’t be persuaded, but she didn’t understand the reason behind it all.
Shu Hui smiled slightly, "Just remember what mom said."
Tu Hengsha snuggled into Shu Hui’s shoulder, "If mom isn’t going, then I won’t go either. I’ll stay home to accompany mom."
"Silly child! Can you always stay with me?" Shu Hui laughed, "When a daughter grows up, she eventually has to get married."
"I won’t marry! I’ll just stay with you."
