Upon seeing this, Tang Yujiao's eyes flickered slightly, but her voice betrayed no emotion: "Mom, weren't we going to wash the fruit and take it out? Why are you closing the door?"
"Come here, Mom has something to tell you."
Lin Hui took her hand and led her towards the kitchen.
Only when the conversation was no longer overheard by others did she put down her hand, raise her eyes, and look at her daughter's face.
Jiaojiao resembles her in her youth by about 50%, and by the other 50%, she looks like her father.
There is a gentle feeling between his brows that makes people feel harmless, and his eyes are very captivating when he smiles.
In her heart, her beloved Jiaojiao possessed the best parts of both her and Tang Shengze, which combined to create such a face—beautiful yet gentle, enough to move anyone who saw it.
A face like that deserves to marry into a wealthy family, become a rich wife, enjoy wealth and luxury, and keep her beautiful face forever young.
Thinking this, she smiled softly, her voice incredibly gentle: "Jiaojiao."
Tang Yujiao wasn't used to being looked at like that, so she lowered her eyes and said, "Mom, just say what you want to say. Today is my sister's birthday, so don't make us late for lunch."
Hearing her mention Tang Yaoyao made her feel very uncomfortable. She frowned and raised her voice a little: "Who does she think she is? Why does she have to make such a fuss just to come home?"
"Mom, Dad just talked to you about this, you..."
Clearly, Lin Hui didn't want to hear her say that, and interrupted her: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about her anymore. Jiaojiao, what do you think of a man like Xiao Jinhan?"
Tang Yujiao frowned slightly: "Mom, what do you mean by that?"
"All you need to do is answer me, how do you feel about him?"
Tang Yujiao was silent for a few seconds, as if she was thinking, before answering, "Xiao Jinhan is a very charming man, both in his speech and his behavior. Even I would be attracted by such charm."
Hearing this, Lin Hui's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately smiled with relief: "So, you have feelings for him?"
Tang Yujiao remained silent because the women of Rongcheng all had a good impression of Xiao Jinhan.
However, he was also an unattainable figure, like a prince in a fairy tale, so distant that people longed for him, yet knew he was unreal, so they tried their best to control their emotions.
"I was right, wasn't I?"
Tang Yujiao shook her head: "That's not right."
Lin Hui was stunned for a moment.
Then she said to her in a very calm tone, "An excellent man will naturally make people feel good. Mom, this is the instinct of same-sex repulsion and opposite-sex attraction, and has nothing to do with love."
After saying that, she gave another example: "Similarly, I also have feelings for both the eldest son of the Fu family, Fu Xiuchen, and the second son, Fu Jincheng. If I like them both, wouldn't I become a fickle woman?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hui's heart skipped a beat.
As expected of Lin Hui's daughter, her standards are so high. With that, she can rest assured.
"The eldest and second young masters of the Fu family are what we dream of but can never have, but Master Xiao is different. He's right here beside us. Jiaojiao, you are more worthy of such an outstanding man than Tang Yaoyao. You..."
"mom?!"
Tang Yujiao interrupted her with a startled cry.
Lin Hui knew her daughter was about to spout those platitudes that were meaningless to her, so she simply stated her purpose all at once: "Jiaojiao, I want you to be Xiao Jinhan's woman."
