Mr. Shen is twenty years older than Xiao Qiao, which Lü Yazhi simply cannot accept. Although Mr. Shen doesn't look that old, he is actually quite old.
He is so much older than Xiao Qiao, but you can't tell now. By the time Xiao Qiao is in her thirties or forties, Mr. Shen will be over sixty.
The age difference will become very obvious in a few years.
Lu Yazhi saw that her daughter was silent.
She continued, "Mom can tell that you don't really like Mr. Shen. Is it because Haiyang bullied you that you're young and hot-blooded, and that's why you deliberately married Mr. Shen?"
"You don't like him either, right?"
Wen Qiao looked at Lü Yazhi with a serious expression.
She didn't particularly like Shen Jichuan, but she didn't dislike him either.
She died young in her previous life due to torment, so she didn't have much experience with matters of the heart, nor did she understand what liking and loving really meant.
She just felt that Shen Jichuan had fallen in love with her, and she didn't dislike him. It also made Shen Haiyang feel disgusted, so she was happy.
As for what her mother said about the age difference, or that Shen Jichuan would die before her, she didn't want to think about any of those things.
Thinking too much about things that haven't happened yet will only cause unnecessary worry.
"Mom, I like him. He's good-looking, handsome, rich, and powerful. If I marry him, no one will bully me."
"Nobody bullied you. Wasn't it because of his appearance that you were able to quickly divorce Wang Dayong?"
Seeing that Wen Qiao was determined, Lü Yazhi said nothing more.
After a long silence, she whispered:
"Mom is just a country woman from the countryside, she doesn't understand anything. I'm just afraid that Mr. Shen is old and won't be able to take care of you for many more years. Young couples can only stay together for a long time. He only likes you now because you are young and beautiful. What if he meets someone younger and prettier than you in the future?"
"Mom is worried. Mr. Shen is such a high-ranking leader. Is it just a rash decision for him to say he wants to marry you? I'm afraid you'll get hurt."
"Even if Mom agrees, what about Shen's family? Will his parents agree? What will you do if your mother-in-law makes things difficult for you?"
Lü Yazhi had met Shen Jichuan, and she approved of his character, saying he seemed upright and a good person.
But the thought of her daughter Xiaoqiao marrying into the family made Lü Yazhi extremely reluctant, fearing that she would suffer.
"Mom, no matter how bitter the rest of my life is, it will be much sweeter than before."
"I'm all grown up now, and I can take responsibility for my own life."
Lü Yazhi nodded.
"Then tomorrow, you can give Mr. Shen a call. Or, let's go to their house instead; we should at least pay them a visit."
Lü Yazhi thought that if the two of them got married, their parents would have to meet each other.
She suddenly realized that with Mr. Shen's family background, people might not be willing to listen to her.
Lü Yazhi felt that it was better to say less and ask less, so that Xiao Qiao wouldn't be bullied by others because of something they said about her.
Wen Qiao hesitated for a moment, then said calmly, "Okay, I'll call him later."
Lü Yazhi learned about this on her way to Beicheng. In fact, she had already prepared herself mentally, and now that she heard what Wen Qiao said, she understood.
If the Shen family really wanted to force them into marriage, the mother and daughter wouldn't be able to resist.
Wang Dayong, who was a nightmare for her, was dealt with by Shen Jichuan in just a few words.
Aside from being older, Shen Jichuan's conditions in all aspects are much better than theirs.
If Mr. Shen really takes a liking to Xiao Qiao and treats her well, she won't forcefully stop him as long as Xiao Qiao is happy.
