Chapter 195: Don’t Agree

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang An was too embarrassed to tell him that at the moment, only the two of them had enjoyed this treatment. Otherwise, if she said this, those who didn’t know might think that she was lying to close the distance between the two of them and had ill intentions towards him.

Zou Bai was inexperienced. Although he saw Jiang An’s small actions and knew that she was hiding something, he didn’t expose her.

Jiang An brought Zou Bai to Jiang Yi’s door and quietly opened it a crack. The room was dark and very quiet. Auntie Fang was guarding the crib. She felt the light through the crack in the door and quickly looked up.

Seeing this, Jiang An could only give up on the idea of bringing Jiang Yi to see Old Madam Zou. She closed the door quietly again. “Let’s go over first. Looks like we can’t bring him to see Old Madam Zou today.”

Zou Bai replied, “It’s alright, she always walks around. Grandma can always come see him.”

The two of them left Shaohua Tower and returned to the main hall. At this moment, the banquet was already coming to an end. Zou Bai left with his mother and grandmother.

After it was completely over, Li Mei dismissed her sons and daughter back to rest. She also pulled her husband back to their room.

Li Mei looked a little worried. “What do you think about what the Zou family said?”

On the other hand, Jiang Hai was very relaxed. “Didn’t they just briefly mention it? Nothing has been decided. We only need to learn from the monk’s meditation and deal with all changes without changing.”

Li Mei crossed her arms in frustration. “In any case, 1 don’t agree to this marriage. So what’s that woman’s surname again? She and Zou Bai are in an uproar. Everyone in our circle knows that Zou Bai has kept his chastity for her for so many years. Whoever marries in will be basically a widow.”

Jiang Hai stretched out his arm and placed it on his wife’s shoulder. “They didn’t mention the word ‘marriage’. They were also worried that we wouldn’t agree. They only asked us to give Zou Bai a chance to meet and get to know her better. If we don’t agree, the Zou family won’t force us.”

Li Mei glanced at Jiang Hai. “Zou Bai’s methods don’t need to be forced. Others will compromise. Don’t you know how ruthless that demon is?”

Jiang Hai was helpless. “I saw that you thought highly of him a few days ago. Why did your opinion change so suddenly today?”

Li Mei rolled her eyes at Jiang Hai. “Special circumstances and special treatment! If the person in his heart is our An’an, then he’s naturally a good choice. If it’s another woman, then he’s the worst choice! We might as well let An’an and Si Cheng remarry. At least with us suppressing them, Si Cheng won’t dare to do anything. He’ll only treat An’an well.”

Jiang Hai didn’t dare to retort too much. He could only try to analyze rationally, “Wifey, with Zou Bai’s personality, as long as he doesn’t want to do it, even the heavens can’t do anything to him. Now, it’s just Old Madam Zou and Wen Li’s idea. They hope that the two children can talk about it and let our families become in-laws. As long as Zou Bai doesn’t express his stance, we just have to follow behind and not say anything. There’s no need to jump out to object. This way, we won’t lose face for both outcomes, and it will also be a good solution.”

“Besides, Old Master and Old Madam are still around. Although Dad has passed away, they watched me grow up. They won’t use force on An’an.”

Hearing Jiang Hai’s analysis, Li Mei felt much more at ease. “In my opinion, An’an might as well stay at home for the rest of her life.”

Jiang Hai pulled Li Mei into his arms and rested his chin on the top of Li Mei’s head. He said softly, “You’ve always felt very guilty because An’an went missing. You always feel that no one treats her well except our family. However, you have to know that the people who can accompany each other the longest in this life are husband and wife. This role is irreplaceable by parents.”

“She usually says that she can stay at home. Of course, it’s fine if she’s willing. In the end, it still depends on her choice. You have to learn to let go. We just have to be her strong support. There are many things she has to try to do.”

“We can do what we can, but no matter how tragic the outcome is, helping her and growing up with her is the best thing we as parents can give her. She indeed doesn’t have to worry about food and clothing by our side, but are you really going to let her die alone? Doesn’t your heart ache?”

Li Mei let out a long sigh and reached out to hug Jiang Hai’s waist. After a long silence, she said slowly, “Of course my heart aches. I understand what you mean, so 1 won’t interfere. However, if Zou Bai can’t let go of that woman, 1 definitely won’t agree to An’an being with him..”
