"Although they had a flash marriage, they had known each other for more than ten years before that. How can this be compared?"
Li Ke was speechless.
Indeed, Ye Junbo and Mu Qing had known each other for more than ten years before their flash marriage.
It's not a flash marriage between strangers.
"Are you also looking for someone to marry quickly?" Jun Li asked gossipingly. "I can say that I saved you. My sister-in-law always said that since I brought you back to Fengchen Villa, I have to be responsible for you and can't let you fend for yourself."
"If you have someone you want to marry quickly, tell me. I'll help you screen them and test the waters. Then, let Zhou Han help you find out about their entire family history. Once you're sure they're a clean couple, you can get married quickly without any worries."
Li Ke: "...I once had a relationship, but it was broken up because Ellie stole my love. But now I am not angry anymore. Instead, I want to thank Ellie for stealing my love. It made me see his character clearly. He is not suitable for me."
"Apart from him, I don't have anyone of the opposite sex I want to date or marry. Oh, my mom wants to help me find someone."
As he was talking, Li Ke mentioned Chu Mu.
Jun Li immediately looked curious and asked with interest, "Did your mother introduce you to someone? Who did you introduce to? Just give me a name and I can ask Zhou Han to find out for you."
Li Ke stopped talking and just focused on eating hers.
"Li Ke, this is not a very honest thing to do. Tell me half of it and leave the other half. Who is that man?"
Jun Li asked itchyly.
"Third Young Master has seen it."
Has he seen it?
The man related to her was the one he had met before... the one with the surname Chu?
"Is your mother trying to match you up with your stepbrother? The only man I've met who knew you at the same time is your stepbrother. I think his name is Chu Mu. He looks decent. He's on a business trip to City A and he should be doing well in his career."
"From the outside, you two look like a good match, but I think Mr. Chu is a bit cold. You are not a quiet person by nature, but cheerful and optimistic. You are not suitable for a cold man. You should find someone with a similar temperament to you."
Li Ke replied, "A cold man looking for a passionate girl who can melt his coldness is a perfect match. How can it be incompatible?"
Jun Li: "...Are you a passionate girl?"
Li Ke: “…”
"Besides, he's your stepbrother. Will you develop a relationship with him?"
Li Ke said without hesitation: "Of course not. I have also talked to Mr. Chu, and neither of us has any intention in that regard. He also talked to his father and asked him to tell my mother not to have such thoughts again."
"Whether Mr. Chu is a good person or not, I don't know. I don't understand him, so it's hard to draw a conclusion. My mother brought me and him together... maybe it was for her future."
Li Ke didn't want to guess her mother's intention of bringing her and Chu Mu together, but she knew in her heart that was what her mother meant.
The two children born to the mother and stepfather are still young, and the stepfather is getting older and older, with limited energy. Even if they can raise the two younger ones to adulthood, the couple is afraid that they will not be able to cope with the money needed for the two children's future marriage.
Her mother thought that her stepbrother was older and wanted to give the two younger ones someone to rely on.
But the stepbrother is older, which indicates that he will get married soon. If his wife cannot accept her mother as a stepmother, is unwilling to support her, and is even less willing to act like an elder brother who is like a father and an elder sister-in-law who is like a mother, and take care of and raise the two younger ones, he may be the one who takes care of and raises the two younger ones.
That would easily lead to conflicts.
If Chu Mu married her, she would be both the younger brother's elder sister and the older sister. This dual identity would force her to shoulder the heavy burden of taking care of the two younger children when her stepfather and biological mother grew old.
When her parents divorced, her mother said before she left that she didn't want to take her with her. She just wanted her, the eldest sister, to stay with her younger siblings and take good care of them.
She did as her mother wished and has been playing the role of an elder sister who is like a mother to her for so many years, taking care of her younger siblings wholeheartedly. However, if she had not stayed, her younger siblings might have been abused to death by their stepmother.
Her scumbag father was like crazy at that time. He loved his stepmother to death and obeyed her in everything. He believed whatever she said.
If her stepmother hadn't been constantly pregnant and had miscarriages, and eventually couldn't get pregnant again, her father wouldn't know how he would treat her and her two siblings.
Thinking of this, Li Ke's resentment towards his father returned to its original state.
Jun Li is such a smart person. If Li Ke can guess his mother's true intention, how could Jun Li not guess it?
He sighed and said, "I told you not to think about those things anymore. Thinking about them makes you angry and heartbroken."
Li Yongtai has a bad reputation.
Now the former Mrs. Li has become extremely partial and only considers the two youngest children.
Li Ke also sighed and said, "When my Li family just went bankrupt, I thought about taking my brother and sister-in-law to find my mother. Now I'm glad that my mother sent someone to tell me not to go to her."
Her father is a scumbag, and her mother is no longer the same mother who always cares about her and her two siblings.
From now on, she can only rely on herself.
I can only depend on my younger siblings.
Although the scumbag father has shown signs of repentance and reform, Li Ke's resentment towards his father cannot be eliminated all at once.
It will take a long time for the relationship between father and daughter to ease.
"With a family like mine, I don't want to get married, so as not to bring trouble to others. The chance for the Third Young Master to help me find someone will probably have to wait until my next life."
Li Ke knows himself well.
In her current situation, whoever marries her will suffer.
No one in that circle dared to marry her.
If people who are not in the same circle knew that her father owed tens of millions of dollars in debt, they would probably run away faster than rabbits.
Since she knew that would be the outcome, why did she bother trying and causing herself emotional pain?
It’s better to pursue a career and make money.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Now that we're full, let's go to the beach and enjoy the sea breeze. In the evening, we can buy some fresh seafood and take it home to raise. When your brother and sister-in-law come home for the weekend, you can add some food to them."
Li Ke smiled and said, "The villa purchases fresh seafood every day. If I want to order more for my sister-in-law, I can pay for it myself and just tell the chef."
"That's because my sister-in-law loves seafood. You girls all have similar preferences, don't you? You like seafood, sweets, shopping, beauty treatments, and so on."
Li Ke laughed, "I can't say I like seafood, but people who come to the beach will eat seafood."
Her preferences are different from those of the eldest young lady.
Jun Li used the serving chopsticks to pick up another piece of food for her, then changed the subject and stopped talking about her family.
She was unhappy because of her family affairs, so he kindly took her to the beach to relax.
