"For you to say something like that is like the sun rising in the west."
He went to great lengths to save Jiang Tian.
Seeing the mockery in Jiang Tian's eyes, Su Hanze remained silent for a moment before revealing some of the truth: "You saw my parents today, and you should have seen how they interacted. I haven't introduced you to my parents very often before; most of the time, you've only been with my mother alone, so you might not be very clear about my family's situation."
“My parents were married into wealthy families through an arranged marriage. There was no emotional foundation between them, but that’s how it is in their circle—when looking for a wife, you must find someone of equal social standing, whose family’s wealth is comparable. That’s more important than anything else. In fact, their personalities clashed. Since they were evenly matched, they couldn’t tolerate each other on anything, big or small.”
“The two of them shared the same parenting philosophy. They both believed that children should be raised by their parents, so I grew up by their side. I witnessed their daily arguments—they would argue all day over the smallest things, either giving each other the silent treatment or having a big fight, and sometimes even physically assaulting each other.”
At this point, Su Hanze felt somewhat embarrassed.
"You only see their outward glamour, but you can't see their inner emotional and personality flaws. Either of them would be seen as successful people, but when they're together, all they do is argue to retaliate against their unhappy marriage. If a child grows up in an environment of constant fighting, what kind of person do you think I'll become?"
Su Hanze was not exaggerating; he truthfully recounted his family tragedy.
Perhaps in other people's eyes, his life is already good enough. Compared to those children who are hungry and cold, he has been standing at the starting line since childhood.
But he grew up in that kind of environment and didn't think that obtaining superior conditions was so difficult. His psychological trauma actually caused more serious damage to his childhood.
Su Hanze has been taciturn since childhood and particularly dislikes others arguing.
He has an avoidant personality and is somewhat introverted.
As the heir to the family business, he had long ago made up his mind that he would never choose a partner with whom he would argue at least three times a day and disagree on everything.
If every issue leads to arguments, then he might as well marry a mute person.
The harm and repression that the family atmosphere inflicted on his childhood is difficult to explain in simple terms.
Su Hanze has been called cold since he was a child, but no one has ever paid attention to the reasons behind his coldness.
Without his parents' involvement, Su Hanze wouldn't be so indifferent.
If he grows up in a peaceful and happy family, at least he will be mentally healthy.
Unfortunately, he was born into such a family of parents.
If he were away from those parents, he might be better off, but he has no autonomy, and no one will take the child away from that couple.
And so he was raised like this, and his personality flaws were difficult for him to correct on his own.
Fortunately, Su Hanze can still choose who he marries—he doesn't want to be seen as an oddball by others, so he wants to get married.
If they were to find someone of equal social standing, perhaps because the other person has a strong economic foundation, they might one day end up disliking each other.
It's better to find someone with less desirable qualities.
As long as the other person is decent-looking, intelligent, not repulsive to him, mild-mannered, not clingy, and doesn't upset him, and meets his psychological expectations, Su Hanze will definitely marry her.
In fact, such people are hard to find.
Moreover, at that time, Su Hanze was somewhat infatuated with Zhao Mingyao.
At least during his university years, he believed that Zhao Mingyao was the right person.
But later, he discovered that Zhao Mingyao's temper wasn't so good.
She may bring him the pain and sweetness of love, but she cannot bring him the peaceful family atmosphere he craves.
After much deliberation, Su Hanze chose Jiang Tian.
In recent years, Jiang Tian has been quite good in practical terms.
At least when he gets home, he is greeted not by his parents' arguments or endless complaints, but by his gentle wife and lovely children.
So what if it's not his child?
He was just not prepared in previous years.
Su Hanze admitted that he was somewhat love-struck.
During that period, he still paid close attention to Zhao Mingyao.
Immersed in love and with a perfect family, Su Hanze always thought his life was pretty good.
But he never expected that Jiang Tian would be seduced by someone else.
He did control Jiang Tian, but if he didn't, things could easily get complicated.
Jiang Tian is a person without many thoughts. It's fine for her to stay at home. He won't abandon her, he just won't give her money.
I thought that living a peaceful and uneventful life would be a good thing for everyone.
But as time goes by, everything suddenly took a turn for the worse.
Rather than finding a new wife and starting over, he had to come up with a plan to win back Jiang Tian and restore normalcy.
"So, my decision to approach you wasn't unfounded, nor was it a momentary lapse of reason. I've given it serious consideration—you are the most suitable wife for me. There are so many people in the world, and it's hard to find someone with a good temper and someone you can get along with. I'm not willing to give up on our relationship easily."
"You just want to control me, no need for all that high-sounding talk."
Jiang Tian was clearly not fooled.
Su Hanze shook his head: "You have many advantages, but no one has told you them, and you can't explore them on your own. You just need to know that you actually fit the image of a wife in many men's minds."
“And I hope you’ll seriously consider whether it’s better to live a precarious life with a rich second-generation heir or to return to your family and raise your child.” Su Hanze clearly saw that Jiang Tian didn’t want to talk to him much. He just stared at her, his gaze heavy. “I’ll be attending An’an’s parent-teacher conference in a while. The other day, the child called me and said she bought me a gift at summer camp—you didn’t tell her about your background, which means you still want to come back, doesn’t it? I hope you’ll seriously consider it. Raising one child is fine. When you come back, we’ll have another child of our own.”
As he said this, his Adam's apple bobbed and the tips of his ears felt slightly hot.
He finally said it out loud.
For him, having a child with Jiang Tiansheng was a result he had carefully considered.
He had to leave an heir for the family.
He has to choose who will have the child.
During this time, he could sense that his feelings for Jiang Tian had become somewhat different.
Perhaps this is because he is still not reconciled with Jiang Tian.
Use the child to tie her down; she loves children so much, she definitely won't choose to leave them.
Then, his normal life returned.
