Chapter 77: Marrying an Old Man
Li Fang received a call from Sheng Yao's blind date, and the other party said with a hint of seriousness: "Mrs. Sheng, right?" My father is more satisfied with Sheng Yao, do you think he is interested in marrying us? ”
When Li Fang heard this, she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart, she originally thought that this blind date was a mutual understanding between Sheng Yao and the other party, but she didn't expect that the other party's father was mixed in the middle.
Li Fang took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, she replied with a smile: "That's really great, when do you think we should meet to talk about this?" ”
The other party seemed to be a little surprised by Li Fang's positive attitude, and he paused before saying, "This is not in a hurry, so let my father take a look at my little stepmother." ”
Hearing this, Li Fang couldn't help but be shocked. She asked, somewhat uncertainly, "So, is your father going on a blind date with my daughter?" The other party seemed to be a little embarrassed and replied: "Originally, my father wanted to see it, and he felt that Sheng Yao was very suitable for him." ”
Li Fang was shocked and confused. She originally thought that this blind date was a mutual understanding between Sheng Yao and the other party, but she didn't expect that the other party's father fell in love with Sheng Yao. And this man is five years older than Li Fang, which makes Li Fang feel a little unacceptable.
The other party seemed to sense Li Fang's hesitation, and he hurriedly added: "My father is very satisfied with Sheng Yao, and he is willing to pay a bride price of 50 million." When Li Fang heard this, she couldn't help but be a little shaken in her heart. 50 million is undoubtedly a huge wealth for their family, which can help them solve many difficulties in life.
However, Li Fang thought that Sheng Yao was still young, and she didn't want her daughter to marry someone so much older than herself. She couldn't bear to see Sheng Yao being wronged and hurt. Moreover, it is not a good thing for the other party's father to fall in love with Sheng Yao, after all, their age gap is too big.
The other party seemed to sense Li Fang's hesitation and contradiction, and he calmly analyzed: "Mrs. Sheng, I know what you are thinking now. However, I hope you can understand that this marriage is only good for the Sheng family. We can not only provide a huge bride price, but also help the Sheng family solve a lot of difficulties and problems. Moreover, there is not much age difference between me and Sheng Yao, and we have a lot of common topics and interests. ”
The other party said several favorable conditions for the Sheng family in one breath, which made Li Fang a little moved. She knew that what the other party said was true, and these conditions could indeed bring great help to the Sheng family. However, she didn't agree immediately, but said to the other party tactfully: "I am very grateful for your trust and help in me, but I need to have a good talk with Sheng Yao." After all, this is a major event in her life, and I can't make decisions for her. ”
The other party seemed to be very satisfied with Li Fang's response, and he smiled and said, "Okay, Mrs. Sheng." You and Sheng Yao have a good discussion, and if you agree, we can arrange for the parents of both parties to meet to further discuss the marriage. ”
Li Fang nodded gratefully, she knew that this was a good opportunity and could bring great help to the Sheng family. However, she also clearly knew that this was a major event in Sheng Yao's life, and she couldn't make a decision easily. She decided to have a good talk with Sheng Yao first and listen to her thoughts and opinions.
The other party continued: "Mrs. Sheng, you also know that the marriage between our two families is only good for the Sheng family. In addition to the bride price, we can also give more support and help to the Sheng family in career and life. I believe that this is very beneficial to Sheng Yao and your family. ”
The other party's words made Li Fang feel even more moved. She knew that this was a rare opportunity to help the Sheng family solve many difficulties and problems. However, she still did not agree immediately, but said to the other party tactfully: "You are very reasonable. However, I still need to discuss it with Sheng Yao. I will respect her ideas and opinions. ”
The other party seemed to understand Li Fang's attitude very well, and he smiled and said, "Okay, Mrs. Sheng." You can discuss it with Sheng Yao first, and if there is anything you need to communicate, you can contact me at any time. I believe that we will have a good opportunity to cooperate. ”
Li Fang thanked the other party gratefully, and then hung up the phone. She felt that there were some mixed feelings, and it was a great opportunity, but at the same time, there were great risks and challenges. She needs to think hard and weigh in before she can make a final decision.
In the following days, Li Fang has been thinking about this question. She knew that this was a rare opportunity to help the Sheng family solve many difficulties and problems. However, she also knows very well that this is
After Li Fang decided to tell Sheng Yao about this, Sheng Yao's reaction was very intense. She looked at Li Fang with a surprised look on her face and asked, "Mom, are you saying that someone wants to marry me?" ”
Li Fang nodded and said, "Yes, Sheng Yao, the other party has put forward some very tempting conditions, and I think this is a good opportunity." ”
When Sheng Yao heard this, he suddenly broke out: "What? Mom, don't you know that this is my life? How can you make a decision for me? ”
Li Fang was taken aback by Sheng Yao's reaction, and she quickly explained: "Sheng Yao, I'm not making a decision for you, I just want to tell you about it." You can think about it for yourself, and if you don't want to, we can say no. ”
When Sheng Yao heard this, her mood calmed down a little, but she still said a little angrily: "Mom, do you know what this means? You want me to marry an old man who is older than you, how is it possible? ”
When Li Fang heard this, she was also a little angry: "Sheng Yao, don't talk so ugly." I'm also for your good. ”
Hearing Sheng Yao's questioning, Li Fang's tone became more serious: "Sheng Yao, I know you're angry, but you have to understand that I'm doing it for your good." The person you are going to marry is able to provide you with a stable life and can make you live a better life. ”
When Sheng Yao heard this, her emotions became excited again: "Mom, what's wrong with you?" Do you push me to someone else just because they can provide me with a better life? Have you ever asked me if I would like to? ”
What a joke, how can she marry an old man! Sheng Yao couldn't accept this result at all, why could Sheng Yao marry Mu Yanting, but she wanted to marry an old man?
Where is she worse than Sheng Yao? The only thing bad about her is that she is a junior!! Not the real daughter of the Sheng family!
Li Fang was also a little angry when she heard Sheng Yao's questioning: "Sheng Yao, don't be so ignorant. You know we've lived all these years on me, and I don't want you to have a harder life in the future. ”
