When Shu Yuqing returned home that evening, she found the brother and sister looking preoccupied. After dinner, she casually asked, "Old Ye, do you still remember the Fu family?"
"The Fu family, the Fu family of the south of the city? I remember them, what's wrong?"
"I still remember how glorious the Fu family was back then. Everything changed after Fu Er got married."
Ye Boxian and his wife exchanged glances, and he instantly understood her thoughts. He started to act, deliberately pausing for a moment before asking, "What's changed?"
Shu Yuqing glanced at him and replied, "Back then, Fu Er disregarded his family's objections and insisted on marrying a wife whose social standing was far inferior to his. As a result, his wife caused a lot of trouble after the marriage, and the Fu family gradually became a laughing stock in the circle."
"A joke? What joke?"
Ye Boxian really didn't know any of this. He only knew that the second son of the Fu family had been divorced, but he didn't know the inside story of the divorce. Judging from his wife's tone, she must know the inside story.
"Fu Er's wife was his classmate in college. In fact, their relationship was not well-received by others from the beginning. After all, the two families were too different, and their lifestyles, tastes, consumption habits, and values were not compatible. But Fu Er was stubborn. Once he made up his mind, no one could change it."
At this point, Shu Yuqing paused, glancing at the brother and sister, and seeing that they were listening intently, she continued, "After going through many twists and turns, the two finally got married as they wished. However, not long after the marriage, they had disagreements."
After they got married, Fu Er's wife took care of all his needs, from food and clothing to housing and transportation. Fu Er's wife was used to being frugal, and she often went to shopping malls to buy discounted clothes, which led to people teasing Fu Er, wondering if the family had gone bankrupt.
Jiang Xin and Ye Beichen never expected that they would quarrel for this reason.
"Fu Er's wife also felt wronged. She wouldn't spend money recklessly, so shouldn't her husband be happy? Why is he blaming her instead?"
Thrift is a virtue, but a family like ours doesn't need to be overly frugal. Over time, this virtue has become a flaw in Fu Er's eyes.
Jiang Xin suddenly remembered what her parents had told her in her dream, and she continued, "It can only be a tragedy if two people from different worlds try to merge together. Their perspectives, tastes, habits, hobbies, and values are all different."
Just like someone who's used to eating delicacies, a bowl of plain porridge occasionally is refreshing, but if they drink porridge every day, it becomes utterly tasteless.
As soon as she said this, all eyes in the family turned to her. Jiang Xin then realized that her words were inappropriate. Her parents and brother must be very confused as to how she knew these things.
She quickly added, "I was just expressing my feelings."
Ye Beichen realized that his mother and sister were giving him a heads-up, afraid that he would act rashly and rekindle his relationship with He Wan.
“I didn’t know He Wan was this kind of person. She seemed quite normal in front of me before.”
Ye Beichen's voice was soft, but it was filled with deep grievance.
"Mom doesn't necessarily want you to find a partner who is of equal social standing, but two people living together can't rely solely on feelings. There are many problems you'll face, so you must be cautious about your attitude towards marriage."
And Xin Xin, your priority now is studying. You can date later, but you only have a few years of high school. Mom hopes you can study hard and not let your hard work go to waste.
"I understand, Mom."
Jiang Xin responded obediently. This time, she could truly feel her mother's care and expectations for her. She was about to tell her mother about Yan Ling's visit to her today when the phone rang. Shu Yuqing answered the phone and walked out, so Jiang Xin had to swallow her words.
When Shu Yuqing heard on the other end of the phone say that her daughter and Xin Xin went to the same school and that they had even taken some interesting evidence, her expression changed slightly.
She wondered if Xin Xin had done something wrong at school, which was why this person had called her.
Her gaze turned cold, and she said softly, "I'll be waiting for you at the XX Club at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
No matter what Xin Xin has done, she has to see this person; she will not allow anyone to harm her daughter.

The next day, Zhang Dan's mother arrived at the agreed location early. She sat quietly in the private room waiting for Shu Yuqing, her mind racing with ideas on what to say when they met.
Shu Yuqing entered the private room, and after a few polite words, Zhang Dan's mother didn't keep her in suspense and immediately played the recording for her.
Hearing He Wan slander her, she didn't show any expression, but Zhang Dan's mother still noticed a hint of coldness on her face.
Looking at the photos again, Shu Yuqing looked up in confusion: "What's this?"
"The boy's name is Yanling. My daughter said he's not a good student. I don't know how the two of them met, but Yanling promised the girl he would help her."
Yan Ling, that name sounds familiar. Isn't he the one who used to harass Xin Xin? I never expected that he would get involved with Ye Beichen's ex-girlfriend. It's really absurd.
"Could you send me this recording and photos? You've been very kind this time. I'll see if there are any suitable projects for your company when I get back."
"Mr. Shu, you're too kind. I also have children, and I can't stand seeing others scheme against my children like this. You can take this phone; it's useless to me."
Zhang Dan's mother put down her phone and then said goodbye and left.
Shu Yuqing made a phone call. Since He Wan said that she was breaking up a couple, she might as well make it a reality so as not to bear the reputation for nothing.
