Chapter 1989 - But Just Think About It!

“He’s the sole man in charge of the entire company. Do you know how many women want to marry Mr. Li? I asked your uncle to introduce his boss to you, and you’re actually rejecting him. Sze Lingyun, you’re just a girl. What right do you have to turn your nose up at such a big boss?”

Mr. Li, who was a big shot, was very unhappy when he noticed Sze Lingyun looking down on him. He said unhappily, “Lots of women want to marry me and have children with me. If it wasn’t for Old Hu’s good reputation in our company and him telling me about you, do you think I would’ve come here to see you? I only came to your house because of your uncle.”

Sze Lingyun was so angry that she felt like she was about to die. Wu Pingting was even angrier than her.

She could not bear it any longer and stood up to scold this big boss. “Who asked you to give her face? An old man like you with a greasy face thinks he’s so great just because he has some lousy money, does he? Stand up straight! Can you even see your toes when you stand up? Your belly is even bigger than a woman in labor’s. Do you want to marry me instead, Sister Sze? Why don’t you choose me over him?”

The man flushed at Wu Pingting’s scolding. He pointed at her and did not speak for a long time.

When Mrs. Sze saw the big boss she invited over being humiliated, she was furious. She shouted at Wu Pingting, “Who are you? What right do you have to bark like a mad dog in our house? Sze Lingyun, is this your ‘cultured’ friend? Get her out of here right now! Our family won’t entertain such hooligans!”

Sze Lingyun had had enough of her parents by now. She sneered. “Mom, do you think you’re very cultured? You scolded my friends before they even stepped foot into our house. Any normal person would call that an overreaction. I might be a girl, but do girls not deserve to have control over their own lives? Do girls deserve to be ordered around every day? Even though you’re my mother, that only means you gave birth to me. It doesn’t mean that you can control my entire life. You told me that Dad was sick to trick me into coming back home. But all you wanted to do was introduce me to an old man. Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. You think that because he has a lot of money, if I marry him, you’ll get some of it too. What do you mean when you say you’re doing what’s best for me? You’re just selling your daughter off!”

“So what if I’m selling my daughter off? I’m your mother! You have to listen to what I say! I’m the one who birthed you into this world. If I tell you to go to Hell, you should die without hesitation!”

“Mom, stop spewing so much nonsense. You’re not doing anything except making Yunyun hate this man even more.” After staying silent for a long time, Sze Junyan, who had been listening to the women quarreling for a while, could not help but interrupt Mrs. Shi and Sze Lingyun’s argument.

Sze Junyan said to Sze Lingyun, “Yunyun, even though Mr. Li is indeed a little old, he wasn’t lying. Many women want to climb into his bed, but he took a particular fancy to you! This’ll help you and the family, too.

“You’re overreacting. You’ve probably never heard of Rongxing Company before, so let me tell you about them. Rongxing Company specializes in building roads. They’ve built many of the roads in our neighborhood. As the sole boss of the company, Mr. Li’s annual income can surpass even 10 million.

“Yunyun, you always say that Mom doesn’t love you and is biased toward me. But just think about it! As her son, I have to be with her forever, but you’re getting the chance to marry into wealth!”
