Chapter 340 What do you think about me getting married?
"What does this have to do with you no longer being in charge of things in the building?"
Shen Xiangwan didn't think she had done anything wrong. If you didn't have some powerful means to run a gray industry like a brothel, sooner or later someone would take advantage of you and bully you. So she didn't bother to ask what happened to the girl, she only cared about why she didn't care about the entire Huanxi Building.
"I transferred Huanxilou to Aunt Wan."
Looking up at her, Yue Ruyan picked up the teacup, lowered her eyes and continued, "My mother was also a commoner exiled to Chenzhou. She was raped by the escort on the way to exile. My grandfather was ashamed to have a daughter like her. Moreover, they had no money after settling in Chenzhou, so they sold my mother to a pawnbroker. When my father went to the pawnbroker to select a girl, he fell in love with my mother at first sight. However, he did not let my mother become a prostitute in the brothel. Instead, he married her and did not despise her for not being a virgin."
"But my mother was once a lady from a prominent family. She couldn't accept the fact that she had married a brothel owner. It wasn't until my father passed away unexpectedly when I was two that she realized she had already unknowingly fallen in love with him. Worried about him until his death, and about me, who was still very young at the time, my usually fragile mother single-handedly shouldered the responsibility of running Huanxilou, pouring almost all her energy into it. Only in front of me would she occasionally reveal her once-fragile side. This is one of the reasons why I care so much about Huanxilou."
Having said that, Yue Ruyan stopped to take a breath, and Shen Xiangwan did not urge her. She knew that what she was going to say next was the key point.
"Over the years, in order to protect Huanxi Tower, I have had to wander among all kinds of men. I know that they covet my beauty and despise my identity, but I don't care. To me, as long as Huanxi Tower is still there, my father and mother are not gone."
"However, after meeting you, I gradually grew tired of this constant constant comings and goings. I couldn't even walk in the sunshine. I even considered ending Huanxi Tower myself. But I still had a thought, a wish for my parents to be with me, and I never really made up my mind."
"This incident caused a huge uproar and completely fed me up. It just so happened that Aunt Wan said she wanted to take over Huanxi Building and asked if I would be willing to transfer it to her. After a little consideration, I agreed."
In fact, her mother's last wish was not for her to stay in Huanxi Tower, but for her to marry an ordinary man and live an ordinary life. She was too greedy and always wanted to keep something. Moreover, having grown up in Huanxi Tower, she knew better than anyone that for powerless people, beauty is the original sin. It was not that she was arrogant, but with her appearance, it was impossible for her to live an ordinary life. Whether she liked it or not, she had to use the money in her hands to make friends with the powerful.
Therefore, she had been trapping herself in Huanxi Tower until Wanwan appeared. She was like a ray of sunshine shining into her dim life, making her want to hold her tightly. At the same time, she also woke up and accepted the fact that her parents were no longer there, and even if she guarded Huanxi Tower, they could not be with her.
"Auntie Wan is doing this for you."
Although she was questioning, she used an affirmative tone. Shen Xiangwan leaned forward and hugged her with open arms: "If my uncle and aunt are still alive, they should be very happy that their daughter is finally willing to let me go."
"Um."
Letting herself lean on her, Yue Ruyan nodded gently. In order to avoid regretting it, before coming back, she went to the government to transfer Huanxi Tower to Aunt Wan. Now that she opened her heart and said those words, she felt relieved from the bottom of her heart. For the rest of her life, she would no longer stubbornly expect her parents' company, nor would she have to worry that her appearance would bring disaster.
"What are your plans next?"
After a moment, Shen Xiangwan retreated back to lean against the chair, picked up the teacup and brought it to his lips to sip.
"Well..."
Yue Ruyan pretended to be hesitant, whetting her appetite before asking mischievously, "What do you think of me getting married?"
Before she left this time, her aunt had asked her what she thought of Qingying. With her intelligence, she naturally guessed her purpose. Before this, she had never thought about getting married, but now, if Qingying didn't care about her background, she wouldn't mind giving it a try with him. He was the commander of Wei Chengyi's guards, and he would definitely follow them in the future. If she could marry him, she and Wanwan would be able to be together for the rest of their lives.
"Did Mom tell you?"
It’s obvious that Zhao Yuping must have said it, otherwise why would she suddenly have the idea of getting married?
Without waiting for her answer, Shen Xiangwan continued, "I believe that if you want, Qingying will definitely not be able to escape from your grasp. However, marriage is a lifelong commitment. I hope you can consider it carefully. A marriage with love and a marriage without love are two completely different things. Don't compromise yourself for something irrelevant."
If possible, she hoped they could succeed, but based on her understanding of Yue Ruyan, she probably didn't like Qingying now.
"Well, I'll seriously consider it."
Knowing that she really cared about her, Yue Ruyan became a little more serious.
Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan said no more and said instead: “Since Huanxi Building has been transferred to Aunt Wan, then you can live in the Wei family from now on. Anyway, there is a room for you here.”
"How can I be so embarrassed?"
It would be a lie to say she wasn't tempted, but Yue Ruyan thought about it and still refused: "Before, I was just a guest, so it was okay for me to live in your house, but now I plan to stay for a long time, and it's not appropriate to continue living here. I want to buy a piece of land in the village and build my own house. What do you think?"
Even though she had decided to follow her for the rest of her life, she had no intention of shamelessly living in her house. On the way back, she had already figured out what to do.
“Not so good!”
Rolling his eyes in annoyance, Shen Xiangwan continued in a deep voice: "You also know about my family's affairs. Yong'an Village is just a temporary place for us. In one or two years at most, we will fight all the way back to the imperial city, and then we will leave with you. Since you have chosen to come to me, you must come with us. Buying land and building a house now is undoubtedly a waste of money."
If they said they didn't have any extra houses, she would definitely not stop them. Since they did have some, why waste it?
"Um···"
Yue Ruyan didn't nod immediately, but lowered her eyes to think, and after a long while, she raised her head and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite with you."
"Well, you're welcome."
Nodding, Shen Xiangwan thought for a moment and said, "How about I ask my mother to adopt you as her goddaughter? That way you can live here legitimately."
"Isn't this bad?"
Hearing this, Yue Ruyan hesitated slightly. Even if they were exiled, the Wei family was once a royal family. How could she possibly marry into such a high position? If Shen Xiangwan wasn't her only friend, she wouldn't have chosen to join her and become a family with her. She wouldn't even have considered it.
"What's wrong with that? Mom loves you so much. I'll go tell her later."
Not bothering to ask for her opinion, Shen Xiangwan made the decision directly. Yue Ruyan stopped being pretentious when she saw this. It would have been fine if she hadn't thought about it before, but now that she had taken the initiative to bring it up, she was quite tempted. This way, they could really be together for life.
