Chapter 512: 009: I don’t mind if you help me find a stepfather_4
"Not at all."
"Or are you dissatisfied with the choice of this daughter-in-law?"
"I personally picked Xiang Yu, how could I be dissatisfied? Whether it’s her family background, character, looks, or personality, she’s one in a million. Honestly, once she marries in, even you as my daughter will have to give way a bit. Don’t accuse me of being biased and not loving you enough at that time."
Lu Shishu closed her eyes and chuckled incredulously, "You said it, so I hope you do just that."
"You little ungrateful thing."
"Hmph."
"The Xiang Family has only one daughter, and they’re a large and successful family. Not to mention Xiang Yu herself is competent. She’s already serving as the director of their company at such a young age, and sooner or later the Xiang Group will fall into her hands. Although it might seem too pragmatic to discuss this now, that’s how business is. Fortunately, they both like each other, which is quite comforting to me."
"So, now that my brother’s major life event has been settled, you can relax!"
"Yes, your dad and I are both relieved."
"When are they planning to have the wedding and get married?"
"We’ll let them decide on their own. We won’t worry about it. Let’s just give them time to strengthen their relationship first; there’s no rush for such things."
"Hey, Mom, I have to admit you’re quite open-minded about this stuff."
"Am I not open-minded at other times?"
"Not exactly."
Ji Yaling, upon hearing this, turned to glance at Lu Shishu, who was enjoying her beauty treatment with her eyes closed, and a thought suddenly popped into her head: "Speaking of which, I have to nag you a bit. Your brother’s settled, and you’re about to turn 19, soon to be 20. You’re in college now, studying drawing, which I don’t object to. However, you’ve reached the age for dating; do you have any thoughts on this?"
At the mention of this, Lu Shishu’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly opened her eyes to look at Ji Yaling, "Mom, how old am I? Is it not too early for you to start worrying about this? Can’t we wait until I’m at least over twenty? You’re being way too open-minded!"
Being stalled like this, Ji Yaling found it hard to express what was originally on her mind, so she gave herself an out, "I’m just seeing that you’re at the right age for dating, so I’m asking."
"I prefer to let things take their natural course. You and dad shouldn’t impose ideas on me; you know my temper. If I’m not willing, even if you put a knife to my throat, it wouldn’t work."
"Alright, alright, with your stubborn temper, who knows if someone might actually like it!" Ji Yaling completely gave up the thought in her mind, pursing her lips, "I heard before that Xiang Yu has a cousin who also studies painting, and he happens to attend the same school as you. I’ve seen his photos, a handsome young man, full of sunshine and confidence. I think you two could meet and get to know each other, and besides..."
"Stop, Mom. If you really like him, you can consider him for yourself. I don’t mind you finding me a stepfather."
"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Listening to Ji Yaling’s angry tone, Lu Shishu closed her eyes again. Since her attitude was already very clear, her mom’s thought was surely slowly disappearing, so there was no need for her to say anything more.
