"That's true."

"Actually, you don't need to worry about this. Even if they wanted to get married secretly, it wouldn't be possible."

Don't forget, given the nature of Mingcheng's job, even if he wanted to get married, his superiors would have to give his approval first.

Besides, given the current situation of the Jing family, the higher-ups might not agree.

You need to understand that political vetting is a serious matter; it's not something you can just do by having someone stamp your name.

Instead, they will conduct thorough investigations, tracing back at least three generations of ancestors, not just eighteen.

Don't assume the Jing family is secretive; under these circumstances, even the slightest flaw in the DSLR camera would prevent their marriage from taking place.

"That's true, Nan Nan, Dad is right. You don't need to worry about that kid Mingcheng anymore."

Besides, the child should know the answer in his heart, otherwise why would he choose to come back at this time?

"Brother, I know, but... but I'm just worried about him."

I'm afraid that he'll give up his future for his so-called love.

“None of our children are like that, so don’t worry about it.”

Don't let their quiet demeanor fool you; when it comes to matters of the heart, even the most devoted will avoid making fundamental mistakes.

"That's right, Second Sister. Big Brother is right. We know you're worried about him, but is that worry useful?"

To be honest, it's not just you who's worried about him; we're all worried about him too.

But when it comes to matters of the heart, is it any use even if we worry?

He walks his own path in life, not us to walk it for him. Worrying about it won't solve anything for him.

Just like our parents said, if we interfere too much, it will backfire. It's better to let things take their natural course.

You should take a look at the situation in Mingcheng!

"But if he really chooses to be with that girl from the Jing family, how can he face the Shen family?"

“Nan Nan, there’s no question of right or wrong. We have no grudge against the Jing family. Even if such a day comes, it won’t involve the children.”

"That's right. As long as the girl from the Jing family is a good child, our Shen family can accept her."

It depends on what she thinks. Anyway, it was the Jing family who started the trouble from the beginning, and it has nothing to do with us.

Nan Nan, as Mingcheng's mother, the most important thing you need to do is to adjust your attitude.

If that day ever comes, I cannot feel indebted to her because of the issues between the two families.

Even if Mingcheng has it, you can't.

"Mom, don't worry, I know what to do."

"Don't worry, when Mingcheng comes back later, have him come to see me and I'll have a good talk with him."

"Yes, Dad."

It's understandable, really. As Mingcheng's mother, it would be a lie to say that Sister Nan isn't worried about him, but there's really no way to control a child in these kinds of situations.

We cannot prevent them from interacting just because we disagree with them being together.

Moreover, the more you try to stop something like this, the less control it will have; it's better to just leave it alone from the start.

Let's see how far they can go, based on their own abilities.

If their feelings for each other are genuine, then they should certainly agree to their marriage.

If not, it's not a big deal anyway. It's fine for a boy to get married later!

Besides, older men, especially those who have achieved success in their careers, tend to become more sought after.

As for the girl from the Jing family, that was her own choice. In fact, from the very beginning, they were the ones in control of everything with the Jing family.

The Shen family is in a passive position. As for the future outcome, we'll see when the time comes.

"Mianmian, about Mingcheng's matter, what about your second sister?"

"Second sister, you don't need to say it, I know what you mean. Actually, from the very beginning, when I found out that Mingcheng and Jing Qianqian were dating, I had already figured it out."

"this?"

"Second sister, you're really speechless. Anyway, regardless of whether Jing Qianqian is sincere towards our Mingcheng or has ulterior motives in her contact with him, she will never get what she wants from me."

Even if they do end up together in the future and she becomes Mingcheng's wife.

If she wants to achieve something in the business world, she has to rely on herself, not on others.

Even if she is exceptionally capable, she probably won't go far if she relies on others.

"Second sister, Mianmian is right. No matter in the business world or any other industry, you can only rely on yourself."

All we can offer them is material support; they want to achieve something faster and higher than others.

This is not allowed in our Shen family.

“That’s right, Nan Nan. Don’t forget, when our children were in school or when they first joined the army, we always required them not to say who their parents were, and that they had to rely on themselves for everything.”

“I know, brother, but we don’t understand this child from the Jing family at all. What if she uses Mianmian’s name outside in the future?”

"Second sister, you're overthinking it. To be honest, over the years, I've worked with all sorts of people, but they all know that I, Li Mianmian, am not the kind of person who is willing to mentor the younger generation."

If there really is one, it must be a child of the Shen family, not someone from another family.

Besides, who knows how many years it will take before she truly becomes a member of our family.

It's important to understand that time is slowly passing by, while the economy is developing rapidly.

When she finally reaches that high position, it will take at least ten years.

Don't underestimate ten years. It's not a short time, but it's not a long time either. In the business world, ten years from now, when people mention me, Li Mianmian, they may not even recognize me.

Besides, that should wait until she becomes Mingcheng's wife. It's too early for you to worry about that now.

"But……"

"Second sister, there are no buts. Mianmian is right. You really don't need to worry about these things."

Even if she does marry Mingcheng in the future and wants to do business in the market under Mianmian's name, she will still need Mianmian's consent.

If she doesn't agree, she'll likely find herself unable to move an inch.

“That’s right, Second Sister, don’t worry. If you’re worried about that, you might as well introduce a few more girls to Mingcheng.”

Anyway, they're just dating now, and they haven't brought her home to meet you and your second brother-in-law yet.

Since that's the case, you can pretend you don't know and keep using this method; it can also test their relationship.

"Oh right? How could I forget about this? I haven't brought her home to meet my parents yet, so I can introduce her to other people."
