"Do you know about Jiang Tian and Su Yuyao's relationship? Do you know that Su Yuyao is just playing around with her?" Madam Cui asked.
Cui Linye looked at her. He thought his mother had something important to tell him, but it turned out she just wanted to ask about a couple's relationship.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded.
“Su Yuyao is somewhat serious about her, but it’s a kind of seriousness that doesn’t affect his real interests. In essence, this kind of seriousness is useless.”
"Then I hope you can save Jiang Tian this once, and not let her continue to sink into this bad relationship."
"How can I save her? I don't quite understand what you're saying." Cui Linye couldn't help but frown.
"Could you persuade Su Yuyao to let Jiang Tian go? Jiang Tian probably doesn't have much value to him. Aren't ordinary people just expendable in their eyes?"
“Jiang Tian is different; Su Yuyao has a deep affection for her.”
Madam Cui continued, "That's why I'm even more worried. I don't want Jiang Tian to get too deeply involved. If there's no way to rescue Jiang Tian through conventional means, then you should start dating her. That way, Su Yuyao will let go."
Cui Linye thought he had misheard. He looked at his mother with an incredulous expression: "You came to see me just for this?"
"Yes, don't forget what you did when you were a child. If possible, it would be best to make amends by doing this. If you two are compatible, you can also get married."
The kind and gentle elder in front of others is cold and stern in front of Cui Linye, like a stranger.
“I’m sorry, I can’t meet your request. I can’t joke about my own marriage. Jiang Tian is just an ordinary person. I can give her some compensation, but I will never marry her. She can’t give me any benefit whatsoever.”
As Madam Cui listened to Cui Linye's words, the smile on her lips became even more mocking: "You and your father are just like each other. No wonder he raised you from childhood."
Cui Linye's face was very ugly, but he still kept his head down.
"I can't control you anymore. I heard that you have now boarded the big ship at the core of the Cui family. As the next leader of the family, you must have a clear plan for your life."
Cui Linye did not deny it.
"Then don't forget, I also have a family of my own, and my family is not an ordinary family. Noble circles value alliances between strong and weak, so your parents must have come from families of equal social standing to have been able to come together."
Cui Linye nodded.
"Once you've achieved a good match in terms of social standing, it's obviously naive to start thinking about love. So, if you only consider economic conditions and ignore other factors, sometimes a couple's union won't bring them a noble love, but it will definitely bring them children—like you."
"...What do you want to say?"
"You want to find a noble lady of similar status to yourself? That must be difficult. Someone as capable as you wouldn't just fall for someone others look down on. Besides, those noble ladies might not like a family like the Cui family. So your circle of choices is very narrow unless you give up some benefits. But how can you get back the benefits you give up? That would just make things more complicated."
"I still hope you will consider my opinion and date Jiang Tian. If possible, marry her."
“This joke is not funny at all.” Cui Linye’s expression turned serious.
Madam Cui continued speaking to herself: "I am a member of the Chen family, and every member of the Chen family has corresponding trusts and assets. If you marry Jiang Tian, bring her into the family, and take good care of her, I am willing to transfer all my property to you. As you know, I originally planned to donate all of that property."
Cui Linye's eyes narrowed, and he remained silent for a long time.
He looked at his mother as if she were a stranger: "I didn't know you would go to such lengths for someone else."
“Wealth is just an external thing to me. If I hadn’t met Jiang Tian, perhaps the past would have been over, and I wouldn’t have lingered on it too much. But I met her, and she’s not doing well. Since I still have the ability to help her, why shouldn’t I?” Madam Cui’s tone was matter-of-fact.
Cui Linye suddenly found it very funny.
His own family, his biological mother, was indifferent to her child's situation, but she was extremely attentive to a girl she hadn't seen for many years, who had only appeared in the villa once.
After a long while, he suddenly asked, "You treat Jiang Tian so well, does she know?"
"Why should she know? There's no need to burden her with morals. Although you inherited some of your father's bad genes, you are also a responsible person. I believe that marrying her is the best choice for you."
What does it feel like for a mother to negotiate with her child? Few people can truly understand.
Cui Linye remained silent.
Madam Cui completely ignored the possibility that Cui Linye would not agree and began to make arrangements—
"You must pursue her as soon as possible, help her escape that swamp, and live a happy life. As long as you complete the task I've given you, all the property is yours."
Her tone was full of certainty, and her eyes were full of certainty, as if she knew that her son could not refuse the conditions she had proposed.
In fact, Cui Linye really didn't want to refuse.
No one can resist such a temptation.
If he were to marry another woman, even the most prestigious noblewoman, he could not possibly acquire such a large fortune at once.
Nowadays, families have many strategies for protecting their assets. He can't take his wife's dowry, let alone acquire his wife's family's wealth through illegal means. Everything has to be done according to procedure. If he wants to acquire wealth, he may have to plan for a long time.
Cui Linye's mother was different.
As her son, he has a natural right to inherit, and now that his mother has transferred all her property to him, it is legally permissible.
He could obtain the benefits he had long planned after marrying other noble ladies without paying any price.
This deal was very profitable, but there was a very crucial problem—
"Have you asked Jiang Tian for her opinion? What will you do if she doesn't want to marry me?"
"You shouldn't be asking me this kind of question. Since I've agreed to give you all my assets, do you really want to give nothing in return? Go and win Jiang Tian over, make her believe that you are a stable and reliable marriage partner, date her, and walk down the aisle smoothly. It shouldn't be difficult for you. After all, you are essentially a person who will stop at nothing to achieve your goals."
As if mocking her own son would please Madam Cui, her smile carried a hint of genuineness: "Use your own methods to win over Jiang Tian, and stop bothering me with these idiotic questions."
