Looking at the calm-faced girl in front of him, Meng Chengguang felt a pang of sympathy. She was so outstanding, all thanks to her own hard work; she must have put in a lot of effort.
"What did you say?" Manman asked, following Meng Chengguang's words.
“My mom said that my family’s resources are useless to me now, and she’s going to focus on educating the next generation, otherwise my grandpa and dad’s efforts will have been in vain.” Meng Chengguang said casually. He couldn’t use his own family’s resources, so whether his future wife’s family had good or bad resources didn’t affect him.
"I should go back and discuss it properly with my parents." Men are prone to acting impulsively, and Manman didn't pay much attention. Just because Meng Chengguang didn't care doesn't mean his family didn't care.
"I'll take you home. We can meet up again when you're free." Since they weren't very familiar with each other, Meng Chengguang wasn't in a hurry to explain.
Unable to refuse, Meng Chengguang escorted Manman to the entrance of the residential area.
The old man and woman, Li Mancang, and Wu Zhiqi were sitting in the courtyard, craning their necks to look outside.
"Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, maternal grandparents, I'm back!" Xiaoyu said with a smile as she entered the courtyard.
Wu Zhiqi quickly pulled Manman down to sit, asking, "How's the young man?"
"He looks quite energetic and is very polite. Fortunately, I told him about my mother's situation." Manman is a very rational person. Her impression of Meng Chengguang is neither good nor bad, just like that of an ordinary classmate or colleague.
"Why do you always bring up your mother's affairs? Your mother's eyes are just crooked, and she didn't choose the right man. She didn't commit a serious crime, and it has nothing to do with you. A girl as outstanding as you, we could find anyone we wanted. If any family wanted to marry you, they would have to burn incense as thick as a vat." The old lady held Manman's hand, feeling that such an outstanding child was somewhat inferior because of Fenglan's situation.
"A man who cares about such a small thing is not a good match. Relying on yourself is what truly matters." The old man didn't want to see such a good girl settle for less.
“Manman, your great-grandparents are right. You are just too preoccupied. Your father is a hero, and you are excellent enough. You don’t need your family to make you stand out. Your mother may not be very bright, but she has not committed any crimes. If it’s not someone you truly like, then let it go and let Manman find someone else.” Wu Zhiqi patted Xiaoyu’s hand with heartache. Such an excellent granddaughter should not be left for others to pick and choose.
Xiaoyu's eyes were red, and she took a deep breath. "Mmm."
Meng Chengguang returned home with a smile on his face.
When Zhang Yun saw his son return, he went up to him and asked, "Chengguang, how did you go?"
Grandpa Meng and Meng Jiandang, who were sitting on the sofa, also looked over.
Meng Chengguang sat down on the sofa. "She's quite nice. She looks very gentle and has a scholarly air about her. She's not rigid or bookish."
"It seems you are very satisfied," Old Master Meng joked.
"I'm alright, but I'm afraid she won't like me," Meng Chengguang said, scratching his head somewhat embarrassed.
“Hey, didn’t you say he was stiff and lifeless? Why are you so insecure?” Meng Jiandang teased his son.
Meng Chengguang blushed slightly. "That's my prejudice against those who are good at studying. Yu Manman isn't that kind of person."
Zhang Yun sat down next to his son. "Dad, ask the matchmaker if the girl has any objections. We're the groom's side, so we need to take the initiative."
“Mom, Yu Manman said her mother has found another husband. That man is involved in a pyramid scheme fraud case and has been sentenced. She told me to come back and tell you so that our family can think it over.” Meng Chengguang felt that this had nothing to do with Manman, but he still wanted to let his family know first.
