The Zhou family has been waiting for this daughter-in-law for too long. Now Mr. Zhou's health is getting worse and worse. He had two heart attacks last month. If Zhou Hong can marry Xia Huiyin as soon as possible, Mr. Zhou will leave without regrets...
Tang Shiqi was still deep in thought when Xia Shige snorted coldly and said in a resentful tone, "Tang Shiqi... you are really something!"
"I thought of you as a good friend, but you treated me like this? You knew... why didn't you warn me?"
Looking at Xia Shige's eyes filled with resentment, Tang Shiqi laughed dryly and tried to explain: "Oh, why do you say that... I just found out about this not long ago, and then I didn't know how to tell you..."
She also felt that if she told Xia Shige about this, Xia Shige would be very unhappy and might even come out to cause trouble.
Tang Shiqi likes Xia Huiyin very much, and she secretly hopes that Xia Huiyin and Zhou Hong'er can be together, so she subconsciously chooses to hide it from Xia Shige temporarily.
Looking at Tang Shiqi's guilty explanation, Xia Shige said expressionlessly: "Haha."
Seeing this, Tang Shiqi rubbed her hands awkwardly and explained in a low voice: "I'm just afraid that you will be unhappy after you know it..."
At this point, Tang Shiqi observed Xia Shige's expression and asked tentatively, "...You're not unhappy, are you?"
Xia Shige remained expressionless upon hearing this and asked, "What do you think?"
How could she be happy?
——You are living a good life, but suddenly a man appears and intends to be your stepfather. Who can be happy?
Not to mention that this person is Zhou Hong.
——It’s not that Xia Shige has any opinion about Zhou Hong himself. In essence, Zhou Hong is a good person. He has a wealthy family, a successful career, and is a decent person.
But the problem is that, in Xia Shige's opinion, Zhou Hong is not really a suitable marriage partner.
First of all, Zhou Hong has a special status. Sitting in his current position, he is destined to put work first. How much energy can he have to take care of his family and shoulder family responsibilities?
The more successful a man is, the harder it is to balance work and family. In Xia Shige's opinion, people like Zhou Hong are not suitable for a down-to-earth life. Even if Xia Huiyin remarries, she should find a virtuous man who cares about the family and knows how to take care of others.
As for Zhou Hong's family, the Zhou family is powerful, but Xia Shige had dealt with many wealthy families after returning to the Lu family in her previous life. She was really tired of socializing with this group of people, and she didn't want to have too much relationship with this group of people in this life. She herself didn't want Xia Huiyin to marry into such a family.
Wealthy families like the Zhou family are different from ordinary nouveau riche. They have large family members and a complex network of relationships, and they need all kinds of social interactions to maintain interpersonal relationships.
Xia Huiyin is simple and honest. Can she adapt to the intrigues in the wealthy circle?
The most important thing is that Zhou Hong doesn't have any children yet. If Xia Huiyin is with him, she will most likely be asked to have children.
It would be fine if Xia Huiyin had given birth before, but the problem is that she has never given birth. Giving birth to her first child at this age is textbook-level for an elderly mother, which is really too dangerous.
Not to mention a wealthy family like the Zhou family, who might even have to give birth to a son...
Xia Shige felt her scalp tingling whenever she thought about all of the above. She must be crazy to agree with Xia Huiyin and Zhou Hong being together!
Seeing that Xia Shige didn't say anything, Tang Shiqi couldn't help but reach out and poke her, asking: "What do you think now? ... If Aunt Xia is really with Uncle Zhou, what do you think?"
