Zeng Keyi sneered, “Why should she adapt to our family’s life? We can go out alone together!”

“Is that so? You’ve gone out alone… But where would you two live? We can buy a house for you, even support you both. However, the future of the family business belongs to you. As the wife of the company’s chairman, can you keep protecting her, hiding her, and preventing her from appearing in public?” Zeng Keyi was taken aback.

Mother Zeng continued, “But is she willing to appear in public? Can she handle the flashing lights and questions from reporters? When that time comes, will you blame her, resent her, and feel she’s dragging you down?”

Zeng Keyi immediately shook his head, “No…”

Mother Zeng sighed, “You might say that now, but what about in the future? If you fail to secure an investment you needed, if new problems arise in the company, after a day of work and meetings, when you return home and want to share your worries with your wife, what if all she can do is cry? Won’t that happen?”

Zeng Keyi paused.

His mother gently touched his head, “Your parents have protected you too well. That’s why you’ve never seen the world’s hardships. Son, think carefully about what I said. I’m saying this for your own good.”

“After careful consideration, if you still choose her firmly, 1 hope you have a serious conversation with her. Look at things from her perspective. After all, you are downwardly compatible, which is easier for you. In this marriage, she’s the one facing the greatest challenges.”

Zeng Keyi was stunned.

He stared at his mother in a daze, “She’s the one facing the greatest challenges?”

“Yes! If she marries you, she’ll inevitably come into contact with our family. Everyone in our family comes from a prestigious background. Her knowledge and manners might not match the rest. Will she feel upset? 1 can assure you that I won’t look down on her. I’ll even teach her well. But what if my tone is a bit harsher? Will she become more sensitive?” Mother Zeng spoke with genuine concern.

“Girls either marry into a family of equal status or marry lower. Both paths lead to a better life. But among those who marry up, aside from a few exceptionally clever ones, how many actually end up well? Look at the celebrities who marry into wealthy families. How many of them aren’t secretly suffering?”

At this point, Mother Zeng looked at him, “The girl you’ve chosen, is she willing to endure these hardships?”

Zeng Keyi clenched his jaw.

Mother Zeng sighed and slowly left the room.

That night, Zeng Keyi couldn’t sleep.

Early the next morning, when Mother Zeng came to see him again, she found her son’s eyes were dark, his face pale, and he seemed defeated.

She asked, “Have you figured it out?”

Zeng Keyi lowered his head, “Mom, 1 understand the meaning behind your words. I’ve thought it through. If our family successfully forms an alliance with the Chu family, every time 1 go to their house, I’ll have to lower my head and be submissive. It’s indeed frustrating.”

He looked up at his mother, “I’ll only occasionally go over there, not live with them. If Qianshu marries me and lives in our house, it’s going to be incredibly difficult for her.”

Mother Zeng sighed, “So, are you planning to break up with her?” 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝑜𝑟𝘨

“No.” Zeng Keyi fixed his gaze on her, “I’ve decided to marry her.”

“What?” His mother felt like she hadn’t heard correctly.

He smiled, “Mom, what you said last night was correct, but you overlooked one thing. If in the future, 1 have significant influence at home, becoming the one in control of the Zeng family, as long as I’m steadfast in my choice of Qianshu, no matter what kind of person she is, no one will dare to mock her. At least, they won’t mock her to her face…”

He sneered, “As long as it’s not done to her face, what’s the harm in a couple of whispered comments behind her back? In this world, who doesn’t talk about others behind their back, and who isn’t talked about behind their back?”

Mother Zeng was taken aback.

His words resonated with her own experiences.

When she married Father Zeng, there was a disparity between her family’s wealth and his family’s. Over the years, she had suffered a lot in the Zeng family due to her husband’s disapproval.

A wife’s background wasn’t essential; what mattered was her husband’s attitude towards her.

If a husband deeply loved and respected his wife, no one would dare to bully her. Similarly, no one would dare to gossip behind her back…

Mother Zeng lowered her head and smiled with a sudden realization, “Keyi, if you really want to marry her, I hope you remember what i said today. I hope you’ll never forget your original intentions. Even when you both grow old and gray, you should still protect her as you did at the beginning.”

Zeng Keyi immediately nodded.

Mother Zeng handed him his phone and then walked out of the room.

As soon as Zeng Keyi got hold of his phone, he noticed that Qianshu had sent him several messages on WeChat. Apparently, she had become worried when he didn’t reply and even left him a few voice messages…

It was clear that she was anxious…

Zeng Keyi immediately dialed her number. After the phone rang for a while, she finally picked up. Initially, he had intended to protect Qianshu’s pride, but after a moment’s thought, he decided to tell her what his mother had said last night.

In the end, Zeng Keyi said, “Qianshu, even though I can promise to always treat you the same, this is still your life. 1 want to ask you, if you marry me and possibly face some criticism, would you mind?”

Chu Qianshu replied, “…I want to tell you my last name.”

“What is it?” he asked.

“Chu..”
