Chapter 955: Chapter 955: Why Refuse to Marry
After all, an arranged marriage in a wealthy family isn’t openly acknowledged as such; it is usually disguised as a simple visit to the family. In reality, everyone sits down together to meet, drink water, and cultivate a relationship.
Quan Dongting did come, but he showed no intention of even sitting down, which undoubtedly was a silent refusal.
The faces of the four girls showed disappointment simultaneously, but due to maintaining face, they couldn’t express much.
“Master Gong, if you’re busy with things, please go ahead with them, don’t mind us.”
“Yes, Master Gong, please go ahead. We won’t disturb you.”
“Yes, I won’t disturb you either.”
Watching the arranged meeting she carefully set up about to fail, the Old Madam was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, grabbing him, “What work do you have that can’t be finished? Why wasn’t I aware of this?”
“It’s a collaboration project, and I have a meeting soon,” Quan Dongting stalled.
The Old Madam knew he was stalling, but it wasn’t appropriate to publicly point out that he was making excuses to avoid the arranged marriage. She could only look on helplessly as the selected Daughter-in-law candidates stood up one by one to bid her farewell.
Her face full of heartache, she could only have them sent out.
Once everyone had left, she, like a scolded child, glared at the man who sabotaged the event and said, “Didn’t you have things to be busy with? Weren’t you supposed to have a meeting? Now that everyone has left, you don’t need it anymore, right?”
“What’s wrong with them? I think each of those girls is excellent and well-matched with you. Why don’t you want to make contact with them properly?”
“I don’t have that idea right now.” In front of the Old Madam, Quan Dongting, no matter how powerful he was Outside, had nothing but helplessness.
The Old Madam, infuriated by his lack of interest, glared at him fiercely and scolded, “You’re over 30 years old now, when will you have the idea? If you don’t have it anytime soon, I don’t even know if I’ll live to see the day when you do!”
After chastising him, the Old Madam continued, “I know you don’t want to marry, but you aren’t into men either. Aren’t those scandals you’ve stirred up Outside enough? I just want you to settle down. Don’t continue your frivolous ways. You’re no longer young, treat relationships seriously. Only when you’re serious, will the other person be serious. When you reach my age, you will understand the importance of having someone by your side.”
The most crucial point is, as long as he remains unmarried, she can forget about holding a grandson.
While other families are surrounded by children and grandkids, she remains alone. She has a Granddaughter, but can’t even see her two little grandsons. Her son she does see refuses to marry and have children.
She really was becoming urgent.
“I don’t want to force you into an arranged marriage—I’m not that kind of person obsessed with Social Status, insisting on you finding an extremely well-matched woman from a wealthy family. My attitude has always been supportive of you freely choosing someone you love, someone you genuinely like. But now…” The Old grandma deeply regretted, feeling utterly dismayed that she had been too liberal in the past.
If only she knew letting him freely choose meant irresponsibly loving around, not willing to marry or have children, she would have forced an arranged marriage on him from the start. Perhaps slowly nurturing the relationship could have resulted in him calling her Grandma.
Whereas now, she could only use her ‘heart disease’ to call him back to meet someone.
“Dongting, tell me honestly, do you have someone you like Outside?” the Old grandma took a deep breath, dignified and composed, “Is it because her identity isn’t suitable, so you never mentioned her to me?”
