On her wedding night, Jiang Yilai's comatose husband suddenly woke up. Thus, Jiang Yilai, who was unloved by her father, disliked by her stepmother, had her boyfriend stolen by her stepsister, ...
For the sake of her best friend's future happiness, Jiang Yilai decided to ask Mrs. Jin for clarification herself.
She knew all too well how painful an unblessed marriage could be, especially the many feuds and disputes within wealthy families.
She hopes that Sun Yufei will be happy after marrying into the family, instead of having to be on guard against being hurt every day.
Not wanting her misfortune to befall her again, Jiang Yilai had to end everything to cut her losses.
Upon hearing this, Madam Jin laughed instead: "Then do you think it's true?"
Mrs. Jin's answer made Jiang Yilai uneasy.
If she truly accepted it, she wouldn't have this attitude.
Jiang Yilai said sincerely, "Zisong and Nanxiao are brothers who grew up together, and the Jin family and the Fu family also have business dealings. I don't want to cause any unpleasantness because of this, so I want to know your true thoughts."
Jiang Yilai made her point so clearly, and Madam Jin also gave the truthful account.
"As you said, I did approve of their relationship."
"Then what?"
"Next, I will take Miss Sun to attend all kinds of banquets so that she can personally experience the life of high society. I have also arranged many etiquette courses for her, since we are going to be receiving VIPs."
That was her goal.
Knowing full well that ordinary people like them cannot accept these formalities and do not understand social interaction, they still insist on taking her to such occasions.
In other words, it was to embarrass her.
Jiang Yilai understands Sun Yufei's personality; she simply cannot accept these things.
"Auntie is trying to force her away in this way."
"How can you call this coercion? It's about letting her experience the life she'll be living in the future, and also letting her figure out whether she's capable of handling it."
"You know perfectly well that it's difficult for her to do that."
"Being a daughter-in-law in a wealthy family is never easy. Since you're going to be a daughter-in-law of the Jin family, these are the most basic things. I've already said I won't break them up, and you have to keep that promise."
"Actually, this is no different from breaking up the relationship. Do you want Zisong to go back to the way he was before?"
βI believe my son has matured and will no longer have those childish habits.β
Jiang Yilai now understood that Madam Jin was only putting on a show.
It was difficult to refuse her directly, so this was the only way to make Sun Yufei back down.
Madam Jin then asked, "Lai Lai, to be fair, do you think the two of them are a good match?"
"I can only say that only the person drinking the water knows whether it's hot or cold, and only the wearer knows whether the shoe fits or not; it's not up to others to judge," Jiang Yilai said, supporting Sun Yufei's choice.
Madam Jin smiled and said, "Everyone understands the principle, but it's difficult to put into practice. In short, what I want is a socialite daughter-in-law. As long as she can withstand this test, I will naturally agree to them being together."
Jiang Yilai knew, of course, that after saying such a thing, she would definitely use various methods to make things difficult for Sun Yufei.
Given Sun Yufei's free-spirited personality, she simply couldn't accept these things.
However, Madam Jin's attitude was clear, and Jiang Yilai was unable to persuade her.
"I just hope you won't regret it in the end."
"If I agree too easily, I believe I will regret it."
Jiang Yilai sighed softly, "In that case, I have nothing to say. Let nature take its course!"
"In any case, thank you for your concern for Zisong. Our whole family values ββit just as much."
Mrs. Jin's words were also meant to tell her that the whole family was paying attention to Jin Zisong's marriage, and it wasn't up to any one person to decide.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yilai sighed heavily; things were not going to go smoothly.
