Call them greedy? Now that they have a large and successful family, they've disappeared and stopped trying to take advantage of them. Call them pragmatic? The couple's efforts to cultivate Tang Qianqian, hoping she'll marry into a wealthier family, have long been obvious.
It's fair to say that someone with her normal mindset couldn't possibly understand her bizarre thought process.
Back to Tang Qianqian, she and Xu Ziye had been dating for over a year. His conditions in all aspects met her criteria for a partner. Cui Hua had always taught her that she must marry into a wealthy family in the future. However, Tang Qianqian herself was well aware that with their family's circumstances, the real upper class would obviously look down on them.
She considered herself to be quite pretty and well-educated, not at all unattractive. However, high society values social standing and family background even more. Even female celebrities find it difficult to marry into wealthy families, let alone a girl like her who cannot provide any assistance to her husband's family.
Her family background destined her to have difficulty climbing to a higher level.
Xu Ziye was the best choice she could make.
Although he treated her well, he never showed any intention of taking things further. They had been living together for a long time and had done everything they were supposed to do. She didn't have anything that could really attract him.
She's 24 this year, and a woman's best years are only a few; she can't afford to wait that long.
She knew that the Xu family looked down on her. Her father was alright, but she had seen her mother twice, and the contempt in their eyes was obvious. Her mother worked for them, so it was only natural that they looked down on her family background.
But she was not willing to give up.
So after hearing Xu Ziye's words, she gritted her teeth and said something casually.
“My cousin has a close relationship with the Shengli Group. You know their ‘Li Tang’ compound fertilizer, right? It was developed in cooperation with my cousin. Can you believe how uncreative the name is? The chairman of the Shengli Group is surnamed Li, and my cousin is surnamed Tang. They just put their surnames together as the brand name.”
Xu Ziye was naturally extremely surprised upon hearing this. He even forgot that he had accidentally burned his hand with the cigarette and grabbed Tang Qianqian's hand, asking urgently, "Your cousin? What's your cousin's name? Is it Tang Xiaoxiao?"
Tang Qianqian blinked her big eyes, pretending not to understand what was going on, and said, "Yes, didn't I tell you? My dad only has one older brother, and my uncle's family has two daughters. The eldest sister is named Tang Xinxin, and the second sister is named Tang Xiaoxiao. The names of the three of us sisters sound like we're from the same family."
Xu Ziye was so excited he didn't know what to say. He hugged Tang Qianqian tightly and kissed her on the cheek, then said, "Good Qianqian, why didn't you say so sooner? We've been together for so long and we haven't even visited your relatives yet. How rude of us! You only have one uncle, and we're so close. We should visit each other more often, don't you think?"
Tang Qianqian feigned shyness and said, "We're just a couple... It's already quite outrageous of me to introduce you to my parents, how can I bring my boyfriend to visit my relatives?"
Xu Ziye's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this, but his expression remained unchanged. Instead, he nodded in agreement and said, "You're right. Qianqian, we've been together for over a year, we've already met each other's parents, and now that you've graduated, what do you think...?"
After saying that, he looked at Tang Qianqian with a knowing look, and Tang Qianqian naturally pretended to be embarrassed and whispered, "I'll do whatever you say."
