Xia Yuanfang was silent for a while, then said, "Chu Jian, tell your aunt the truth, do you really have no feelings for that Zong Shao?"
She looked at Xia Chujian and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Chujian. Auntie won't blame you."
"It's normal for young people to fall in love for the first time. If you don't come to your senses, your aunt will be worried..."
Xia Chujian was amused by Xia Yuanfang's words and said, "Aunt, don't be like that. You speak as if you know everything..."
Xia Yuanfang said, "How can I not understand? I'm telling you, at my age, I still don't understand this?"
Xia Chujian blinked and wanted to say, if you understand, why are you still single?
But then she thought again, these words were too hurtful, and she couldn't bear to say that to her aunt.
So she had no choice but to hold Xia Yuanfang's arm and said coquettishly: "Auntie... I am sincerely grateful to Master Zong, without any impurities. And Master Zong has nothing against me."
"His confession was deliberately made by his team to attract attention. You'd be a fool to take it seriously..."
"Those people's status and backgrounds are simply not on the same level as me."
"I'm familiar with him. It's because he saved me that time."
"I'm very grateful to him and have been waiting for an opportunity to repay him."
"Now he needs help, and I happen to be able to help him, so I took over."
"I sincerely hope that Zong Shao can be elected as a councillor and fulfill his dream."
Xia Yuanfang observed Xia Chujian carefully, and was sure that she really had no romantic feelings for Zong Ruoan, so he deliberately said, "Although, in fact, the feelings between men and women are not affected by status and background."
“It’s hard for people to control who they love, but they can control who they marry.”
"If you just like him and want to have a relationship with him, your aunt won't stop you."
"But don't think you can marry into a wealthy family just by doing this. I don't want you to have such unrealistic fantasies."
Xia Chujian was surprised and asked, "I didn't expect that you could distinguish between marriage and love so clearly, Auntie?"
Xia Yuanfang said unhappily, "Aunt, in your eyes, is she an old-fashioned, conservative, and out-of-date person?"
Xia Chujian laughed and said, "Of course not!"
"But I thought my aunt was the type who would marry anyone she dated..."
"Or rather, follow the kind of dating that aims to get married."
Because the online articles that Xia Chujian read all clamored that "love that is not aimed at marriage is hooliganism."
Xia Yuanfang said calmly, "Life is short. It's rare to find someone you love. As for marriage, that's another matter."
She stroked Xia Chujian's head and said softly, "Aunt, I have never been married in my life, and I have never thought about getting married. But Chujian, I hope you can have a different life."
Xia Chujian felt relieved. She sat on the sofa with Xia Yuanfang, leaned her head on her shoulder, and said with a smile, "Auntie, I know!"
"But I think it's more interesting to make money through business!"
"As a man, it only affects the speed at which I can draw my gun!"
Xia Chujian made a gun gesture with his hand, pointed at the vase on the wall, and made a bang.
Xia Yuanfang's mouth twitched, and she said, "You're a girl, so just focus on your career instead of always getting involved in violence!"
"It's good for girls to have their own careers, of course. But it's also okay to have a relationship in your free time, as long as it doesn't affect your studies and career."
Xia Chujian nodded heavily.
I didn't expect that my aunt, who I thought was the most difficult to convince, would be so reasonable.
Xia Chujian was in a good mood and did not retort to her aunt.
Because her "career" is all about fighting and killing!
Xia Chujian complained in her heart, then stood up and said, "Aunt, I want to go see those phoenix-tailed luan birds."
"It's so delicious! It would be even better if we could raise it successfully!"
Seeing that she returned to eating and drinking after just three sentences, Xia Yuanfang felt both emotional and sighed.
I'm eighteen years old, but I still haven't figured it out...
She didn't know whether this state was good or bad.
But she now knows very well that no matter whether Xia Chujian is open to this or not, she is already an adult.
From now on, she can make suggestions about her life but cannot force it.
Xia Chujian shouted in the living room, "I want to go out and see the phoenix-tailed luan birds! Is there anyone going with me?!"
Aunt Chen, Zhu Yingying and San Zong cannot go.
Wufu came running over riding a big black dog, and Liushun also slid over with Awu and Axuan on his heads.
Xia Chujian took the teacup dog and the little fat chick from Liu Shun's head and said, "Wu Fu, take me over there. Liu Shun, help me take care of the two guests in the small study."
Liu Shun said, "Don't worry, Master."
Xia Chujian said to Wufu, "Wufu, lead the way. Do you know where those phoenix-tailed luan birds are?"
Wufu nodded: "Sister, come with me! Wufu often goes there to play with them!"
Xia Chujian: “…”
She was holding the teacup dog, with the little fat dog standing on her shoulder, and followed the big black dog carrying Wu Fu out of her house.
After leaving the mansion and walking along the winding corridor for about twenty minutes, Xia Chujian and Wu Fu came to a flower garden surrounded by a fence.
Xia Chujian had never seen this flower garden before.
Wufu said in a baby voice, "Sister, this is Sanzongda's flower garden, specially for these phoenix-tailed pheasants!"
"But they don't like it... A batch has already died, and now it's the second batch..."
Xia Chujian looked up.
The flower garden is not large, it is a rectangular area of about three meters by five meters.
