She naturally understood the meaning behind He Zhan's actions. Initially, she didn't agree, making excuses to decline two invitations. However, He Zhan seemed oblivious to her refusal, creating awkward "chance encounters" every now and then. Since she ran a business, she couldn't avoid them. He was somewhat persistent yet not annoying, and over time, her attitude gradually softened. Being pursued so persistently by such a charming and successful man, it was hard not to be moved.
But she had too many concerns, the most important of which was her daughter, Xuanxuan. She hadn't remarried all these years because she was afraid Xuanxuan would suffer. Another small reason was her self-doubt. Although He Zhan was not young, men and women were different. With his conditions, finding a single girl in her twenties wouldn't be a problem. She didn't know how sincere he was towards her.
As a divorced woman in her thirties who has given birth to a daughter, no matter how well I take care of myself, I can't compare to those young and fresh girls.
Moreover, even if He Zhan is sincere, what about his family? Although she doesn't know them very well, she knows that the He family is not a small or insignificant family. Would they accept a divorced woman like her?
Because of these concerns, Tang Xinxin never opened her heart, even though she had been moved by He Zhan, she still hesitated to give in.
With so much on her mind and no one to confide in, she couldn't hold back any longer and knocked on the door tonight after Tang Xiaoxiao came over.
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "He Zhan is such a close female elder. Where does he have any close female elders? Even if he does, does he need to personally pick out a birthday gift for an elder? Are all his assistants and secretaries just sitting around doing nothing?"
Even if we assume that this elder is really close to him and that he needs to personally choose a gift to show his sincerity, he would only patronize those internationally renowned big brands, and would never buy clothes from Tang Xinxin's store!
What a flawed tactic! This straight man has actually started using tricks!
Despite her complaints, she spoke highly of He Zhan's character. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Based on my understanding of He Zhan, he wouldn't pursue someone he didn't genuinely like. So I don't think you need to worry about that."
"But I... I'm really not good enough for him."
“He’s not a young man anymore; he’s long past the age where he needs to ask for other people’s opinions. As long as he likes it, there’s no question of whether he’s a good match or not. The He family is very small; He Zhan only has one elderly father. I’ve met the old man many times, and he doesn’t seem like the kind of feudal patriarch who would put on airs and look down on people,” Tang said with a smile.
She did indeed think Tang Xinxin and He Zhan were a good match.
Having dealt with the He family so many times, she had a very good impression of them. They didn't have the arrogance of a so-called wealthy family, nor the various vices of the rich and powerful.
When she first made a deal with He Zhan, she had no capital whatsoever; to put it bluntly, she was just a small-town girl who grew flowers. Yet, He Zhan, a business tycoon, was incredibly approachable and down-to-earth when he first met her. Moreover, to be shameless, she was younger and prettier than her sister, yet He Zhan hadn't shown her any romantic interest, which meant he wasn't a womanizer.
Although we don't know what he likes about the older sister, it's clear that it wasn't just lust at first sight, but that he was genuinely in love.
A bachelor who hasn't had a woman in his life for over a decade, once he falls in love, he's bound to be unstoppable.
My sister has had a tough time all these years, living alone. In her previous life, she didn't have anyone to care for her until she was over forty. She really hopes that the other person can find their own happiness.
He Zhan is undoubtedly a good choice. He is an upright person with a simple family. Although he has been married before, his ex-wife died early and he has no children. His brother and sister-in-law are also gone. If Tang Xinxin marries him, she will not have to serve her mother-in-law or deal with her sisters-in-law. Just thinking about it makes her life seem very comfortable.
Seeing that Tang Xiaoxiao was speaking well of He Zhan, Tang Xinxin couldn't help but scold her, "You're so trusting, you just believe him like that?"
"Whether I believe it or not is not important. What's important is what you think in your heart." Tang Xiaoxiao said to her as if she saw through her, "If you had no thoughts at all, you wouldn't have come to find me in the middle of the night. Since you like it, give it a try. Happiness is something you have to fight for. He has already taken ninety-nine steps. You can't just wait in the same place without taking a single step, can you?"
