At the same time...
Mr. Song and Mrs. Song met after a long time.
Because of this schedule, Mr. Song, who was unable to take a nap, yawned.
"Why did you call me here at this time?"
His tone was as cold as ever.
"Even though my brother and sister-in-law don't care about my niece's marriage, as her aunt, I have to pay attention to it."
"Talk about marriage?"
Mr. Song frowned.
"How about marrying time?"
"Shi Yan's biological brother?"
"Yes, it's the Shi family. They are very honest and easier to control."
Mrs. Song did not hide it at all.
After all, the person she was talking to was her husband, and they knew each other's ambitions very well.
"But he's just the middle child, and he looks insignificant."
"So, it's easier to control, and wouldn't it be better to have the Shi family as in-laws? If I hadn't been so hard on Shi Ran's grandfather, I would have arranged for Song Yanzhe and Shi Ran to be engaged." Mrs. Song sighed. "I've sounded out the situation, but it's impossible. Shi Ran won't marry into the Song family. Otherwise, would he have chosen my niece and Shi Guang?"
Mr. Song coughed dryly.
"Even so, Mr. Shi will not agree."
As a union between families, the marriage ultimately requires the permission of the patriarch of the family.
Moreover, Mr. Song knew the old man of the Shi family's character very well, and knew how terrible the love that stubborn man had for his relatives was.
Mrs. Song said after secretly glancing at Mr. Song's expression.
"That's why we chose this time. Perhaps, it would be enough for the head of the family to bring up this matter."
"but……"
"Don't you want to marry into the Shi family?" Mrs. Song interrupted before Mr. Song could say anything. "The Shi family has so much money, it's hard to count. Who wouldn't want to marry into the Shi family? What can they gain? The head of the family knows better than I do."
“That’s exactly what we should do.”
Mr. Song nodded.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Song, who had been smiling in her heart, added another sentence.
"The Shi family's business has been booming recently. If we were to arrange a marriage, the bride price would probably be quite a bit of money. Maybe they'd even give us a mine."
"That's a good thing indeed."
"I'm so glad you understand me." Mrs. Song smiled beautifully. "There's no need to decide right now. Let's ask Mr. Shi tomorrow."
"I will."
After saying this, Mr. Song left.
Mrs. Song had a strange smile on her face.
Shi Guang walked out of the Shi family, but felt like he was kidnapped.
In front of the Song family's gate.
"Hurry up and go in, everyone is waiting for you."
Shi Guang's mother was already urging him on.
After hesitating in the carriage, he realized that he could not delay any longer and mustered up his courage.
"I don't!"
"What's going on?"
Because Shi Guang's attitude was unusual, Shi Guang's mother closed the car door again.
"I have something to say."
Shi Guang couldn't hide his uneasy gaze and clenched his hands tightly.
He is very obedient, listening to his parents and even Shi Yan.
Shi Ran was right, he was a lackey and had been like that since he was a child. As long as he listened to them, his parents would be happy and his brother would not bully him.
Weakness, compromise.
He seemed to think that was it.
But this was the first time I rebelled, for myself.
"What nonsense are you talking about now?"
Shi Ran's mother yelled angrily.
"I don't want to marry someone I don't like. I don't want a business marriage. Mom, please think about it again."
Time said tremblingly.
He didn't mention Cui Ziqi because he was afraid of getting into trouble. Cui Ziqi was just an ordinary girl, with ordinary looks and an ordinary family, but he liked her just as an ordinary girl.
He knew that if the person he liked was Cui Ziqi, his parents would definitely use some means instead of just making things difficult for him now.
"Shi Guang, don't you know this too? As a member of the Shi family, you know very well that what you want to do is different from what you should do. Nothing can be done as you please."
"I know that, but I think sometimes, even out of obligation, there are precious things you can't give up."
"Can't give up something precious?" Mother Shiguang tilted her head and stared at him. "What's more important than fulfilling your obligations to marry?"
"Happiness, if I get married like this, I will never be happy in my life. Mom, please think about it again."
Shi Guang, who was cautious by nature, tried his best to convince his mother in a calm tone.
But my mother disagreed.
"Time."
"Um."
"For wealthy people who own and enjoy a lot, business marriages have been a part of their lives since birth."
Mom suddenly spoke in a kind voice as if to persuade Shi Guang.
"Everyone has to go through this process, including me, so don't be stubborn anymore."
Shi Guang, who had been listening to this quietly, looked at her mother with big eyes and asked.
"So, is mom happy now?"
"……What?"
"Didn't you enter into a business marriage with Father to fulfill your obligations? So is Mom happy?"
Mother Shi Guang was speechless for a moment.
She just looked at her son with an unreadable expression, and the heavy silence made time feel suffocating.
Although it was said in anger, half of it was true.
Because I've never once looked at my mother and father and thought, 'They look happy.'
