Xian Shaodong nodded in agreement with his wife, "Yes, Mom. Marrying a girl who is of no help to Mingyu's career is not only a burden, but also not necessarily a good thing."
“You’ve all got it wrong. I’m not talking about Bai Xiaofu from the Bai family, but Bai Minglei’s youngest daughter with his ex-wife, Bai Xiaoruo.”
"Bai Xiaoruo?" Xian Shaodong and Fang Peiru looked at each other in surprise. They had never heard of this name before and had always believed that the Bai family only had one daughter, Bai Xiaofu. They were also unaware that Bai Minglei had an ex-wife.
This is getting a bit messy.
"Mom, I remember... that Bai Xiaofu, isn't she only in her early twenties? And Bai Xiaoruo is her younger sister... how old is she?"
"Although Xiao Ruo is quite a bit younger than Ming Yu, she is well-behaved, sensible, and considerate. The age difference is definitely not a problem. That little girl will officially turn 18 in two months, which means she will be 8 years younger than our Ming Yu."
"What? How much smaller?" Fang Peiru excitedly stood up from her chair.

She didn't even know if she had finished developing yet. No matter how likable she was, at most she could be a girlfriend to be spoiled and pampered. How could she be worthy of being a virtuous, proper, and considerate wife?
"Dad, Mom, don't say anything more. I will absolutely not agree to this marriage! Mingyu is my son. I know better than anyone how I can do what's best for him. As long as I'm still in this family, that Bai Xiaoruo will never be allowed to enter the Xian family!"
