Before she could even open her mouth, Xia Shige continued, "Mom, you can't agree to him."
Xia Huiyin was stunned when she heard this, as if she didn't expect Xia Shige to say that.
Xia Shige pulled Xia Huiyin, with obvious worry on his face: "Mom, a man like Zhou Hong is not suitable for marriage. The Zhou family is a wealthy family with many people and complicated relationships. If you are with him, you will be tired."
Looking at Xia Huiyin's slightly twinkling eyes, Xia Shige took a deep breath and said in one breath: "Mom, I'm not stopping you from remarrying. I just think that you should choose someone with simple family relationships, who is more virtuous and can take better care of others. Then we can pay a little more money and let him marry into our family."
Xia Huiyin's face turned even redder. She couldn't help but pat Xia Shige on the head and scolded him, "You kid! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xia Shige looked at Xia Huiyin and said seriously, "Mom, I'm serious. I'm not kidding. I have a lot of money. You don't have to worry about anything else."
Xia Shige has billions in her account, as well as a lot of gold bars and minerals, not to mention that she has mines in her space, so she is not afraid of not having ways to make money even when the end of the world comes.
Xia Huiyin didn't say anything, just looked at Xia Shige quietly, her eyes flashing with complex emotions that Xia Shige couldn't understand.
She was silent for a long time, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "Mom will listen to you."
Xia Shige finally felt relieved after hearing this and threw himself into Xia Huiyin's arms.
Xia Huiyin held her daughter in her arms, lowered her head, and concealed the loneliness in her eyes.
Zhou Hong and Xia Huiyin had confessed their love for a while. Xia Huiyin was not interested at first, but Zhou Hong was very persistent. In addition, they both worked in the reconstruction department and had more contact with each other. Xia Huiyin no longer rejected Zhou Hong, and the relationship between the two middle-aged people slowly heated up.
But since Xia Shige doesn't accept Zhou Hong, Xia Huiyin will not continue this relationship.
After all, in this world, nothing is more important than her daughter.

"... um... um... yeah, I get it. Since it's confirmed that she committed suicide by jumping off a building, I won't investigate further. Please send my wife's sister's ashes over here so we can bury them ourselves."
Jiang Yanhai hung up the phone and pinched his brows tiredly.
He has deep brows and eyes, and although he is nearly fifty years old, there are no white hairs on his temples, and there are not many signs of aging on his face.
Unlike those middle-aged men of his age with big bellies, he has a tall and slender figure with firm muscles, without any signs of middle-aged obesity. His every move exudes an elegant temperament unique to mature men.
Just then, the nanny came up from downstairs carrying a bowl of stew.
Jiang Yanhai took the bowl of stew from the nanny and brought it to Xu Xinzhu's room personally.
Xu Xinzhu was leaning against the window in a daze. When she saw Jiang Yanhai walk in, her body stiffened slightly for a moment.
Jiang Yanhai walked to Xu Xinzhu, raised his hand to close the window, and put the stew in her hand again. His tone was gentle but could not be refused: "Xinzhu, it's still raining outside. You will catch a cold if you stand by the window. Try not to open the window in the future."
Jiang Yanhai had a gentle smile on his face when he spoke, but this smile did not reach his eyes. Combined with the coldness in his eyes, it seemed a little weird.
Seeing Jiang Yanhai like this, Xu Xinzhu was secretly frightened. She suppressed the urge to shiver, leaned into Jiang Yanhai's arms, and said softly: "Old man, I was wrong... I shouldn't have asked the nanny about the Lu family without your permission."
