Chapter 331 Disagreeing with the Marriage
Howard thought Wei Min was a good person. He said gently, "She helped me a lot. She is the gentlest and kindest girl I have ever met. If she hadn't taken me to the hospital, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly. I've decided that she's the one."
He added, "Although she is the factory director's daughter, she has no airs at all. She is a very genuine and wonderful person."
Shen Zhixia suddenly asked, "Comrade Wei, how old are you? Have you ever had a boyfriend or girlfriend before?"
Wei Min's expression stiffened, and then she said, "I'm thirty-two years old and have never been in a relationship."
Thirty-two years old...
Howard is thirty-four years old, but he has been married before. Wei Min is about the same age as Howard and has never even dated anyone. This should have been a plus, but Wei Min is the factory manager's daughter and has such excellent qualities, so it's quite strange.
Perhaps it was Shen Zhixia's intuition, but she always felt that there must be some kind of big pitfall waiting for this kind of person somewhere.
Howard explained, "Wei Min has always focused her life on her career. She has been working in the factory and helping her father with his business over the years, so she has neglected her personal life. But she is very capable and an outstanding person."
Shen Zhixia glanced at Huo Hua, her gaze turning strange. Huo Hua was clearly obsessed with love.
When he takes a liking to someone, his mind is filled with their good points, and he can't see any flaws. He's like he's putting a ten-level filter on them.
No wonder he was so easily fooled by his ex-wife before.
However, his ex-wife was of average means and demanded a high dowry. She didn't like Huo Hua and was only after him. She couldn't compare to Wei Min.
Wei Min's family is very well-off; they are genuinely wealthy. She certainly wasn't after his money. So what did she see in Huo Hua? Huo Hua himself doesn't have much property. He only owns a small house in the village, which isn't very valuable, and a few acres of land. Although he is quite hardworking and goes out to find temporary work, his health isn't very good, and he can't work for long periods.
His only advantage was his good looks, and because of Huo Chenzhou, the Huo family was quite well-known in the area.
Since Wei Min is the factory director's daughter, she should have many choices.
Wei Min glanced at Huo Hua shyly and said, "I'm not as good as you say. I'm just an ordinary person. I'm getting older, so it's not easy for me to find a partner. I'm happy that you like me."
Howard said, "Don't underestimate yourself. In my eyes, you are just that good."
Wei Min looked at him, her eyes sparkling; there was definitely affection in her gaze.
She fell in love with Howard the moment she saw him.
This man is too handsome, and he has a gentle and kind personality. Even though he has been married once, he has no children, so it doesn't matter to Wei Min.
She was determined to have this man and marry him.
Shen Zhixia could tell whether Wei Min genuinely liked Huo Hua or just had a physical attraction; this was something that couldn't be faked.
Could it be that the two are truly in love?
She said, "Comrade Wei, you are too modest. You are not that old. Even if you want to find a partner, it is easy for you. I'm just afraid that you are too picky."
She's right. The factory director's daughter has no trouble finding a partner. If she wanted to, there would be plenty of men willing to marry her. It's just that she herself probably wouldn't want to.
Huo Chunyan also thought it made sense: "Yes, I also got married at thirty, and I was able to find someone as good as Baojun."
She and Sun Baojun exchanged a glance and both smiled.
Huo Chunyan has always been called an "older single woman." She used to be ridiculed because of her age, especially when she went home every year. The villagers were conservative and always looked at her with disdain. Therefore, she was very sensitive about women who were older and unmarried.
She hadn't married before because she was busy with her career, and she was also quite picky and didn't want to settle for just anyone. After all, she was quite good herself, so why should she compromise? That's why she hadn't gotten married.
It wasn't until she met Sun Baojun, who was also quite picky and unwilling to settle, that they got married. They were both satisfied with each other's conditions.
Huo Chunyan also said understandingly, "My brother is right. You are already very outstanding. Don't worry about your age. Speaking of age, my brother is two years older than you, and he is a divorcee. It's already very good that you don't mind."
Shen Zhixia nodded: "Mm."
Wei Min breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the kindness of the two girls. She had been worried that the Huo family would be dissatisfied with her when she came here, but it seemed that Huo Chunyan and Shen Zhixia were at least easy to get along with.
Howard himself is a very kind person, and she thought his family wouldn't be too difficult to get along with. Everything seemed to be going as she had imagined.
Just then, Mrs. Huo said, "I'm going to cook a lot of dishes today, so please come and help me."
Shen Zhixia volunteered, "Okay, I'll help."
Mrs. Huo said, "Come in and wash the vegetables. You can just watch over the cooking from the side."
Shen Zhixia: "..."
Actually, she can cook, and she thinks her cooking tastes pretty good. It's just that her movements aren't as skillful as Huo's mother's, which is normal. They've been cooking for decades, while she's only been learning for a short time.
She has cooked a few successful dishes at home, and Huo's mother has praised her, saying that she cooks very well, but she still doesn't believe her now.
At this moment, Mother Huo looked at Wei Min, who volunteered, "Then I'll come in and help wash the vegetables too."
Washing vegetables...
It seems that Wei Min can't cook.
Mrs. Huo narrowed her eyes, having made up her mind. Wei Min was the factory director's daughter, so she must be spoiled and a strong woman. Naturally, she wouldn't know how to cook.
She said with a smile, "Zhi Xia can wash the vegetables. I'll ask Huo Hua to help. He's been cooking since he was a child and is very good at it."
Howard entered the kitchen with practiced ease.
Huo's mother immediately closed the kitchen door. She looked at Huo Hua and said directly, "You two are not suitable for each other. You should break up."
Howard paused for a moment, then said, "Mom, she's a very good person. Are you worried about her age? Actually, she..."
“I think you’re not good enough for her,” Huo’s mother interrupted him.
Howard was taken aback.
Mrs. Huo looked at her and sighed. Actually, Huo Hua was a very good person. He was sickly when he was young, and Mrs. Huo always doted on him. Over the years, Huo Hua had been raised in the village and had never seen the harshness of society. He was raised so well...
Very simple.
Even though he is thirty-four years old, he looks like he is twenty-four, both in appearance and in mind. This is actually a good thing. However, if he chooses a partner who is too shrewd, then it is not a good thing.
She was afraid that Howard would be devoured, leaving not even a trace.
His ex-wife is a cautionary tale.
