Chapter 616: 176: Agreed to be together, meet the parents, guests from a far! _3
“It’s Daya,” Shangguan Dehui answered.
Upon hearing this, a momentary silence filled the air.
After a short pause, Lady Shangguan asked, “Dehui, you’re not joking with me, are you?”
Years ago, Shangguan Dehui had been driven to the brink of madness in his search for Daya, his love at first sight. It was only after Lady Shangguan stepped in, threatening Shangguan Dehui with her life, that he finally agreed to marry Xu Fen, who was from a family of equal social standing.
After his marriage, Shangguan Dehui had completely changed. Withdrawing his wild habits, he devoted himself to his studies, and successfully completed his postgraduate and doctoral studies, even becoming a professor.
So, Lady Shangguan had no particular fondness for Daya, whom she had never met.
If it hadn’t been for Daya, they, mother and son, might have been driven to a complete break.
For a moment, Lady Shangguan even believed that Shangguan Dehui was purposely trying to provoke her.
“I have indeed found Daya,” Shangguan Dehui said with a serious expression.
Lady Shangguan put down her chopsticks, “Even if you have found Daya, so many years have passed. She’s probably married by now. You’re not considering breaking up her family, are you? Absolutely not! I won’t allow it!”
The Shangguan family is prestigious.
Shangguan Dehui is the head of the family, and he can’t possibly consider breaking up someone else’s family.
“Mother, don’t worry. Like me, Daya is currently single,” Shangguan Dehui replied.
“Really?” Lady Shangguan expressed her doubt.
“Really,” Shangguan Dehui nodded.
“So what’s her current situation?”
Shangguan Dehui went on to say, “Her name’s Ni Cuihua. She’s 37 this year. She divorced her husband a year ago and is now raising two children. The elder daughter is 18 years old; the younger is one year and five months.”
“The younger daughter is that young. So, does she have any connection left with her husband?” Lady Shangguan continued to question.
“You don’t need to worry about that. There is no contact between them at all,” Shangguan Dehui replied.
Lady Shangguan kept her opinions to herself for the time being, “What about her family? What do they do?”
“Their background is very clean. They are farmers by birth, and are now running their own business in the city.”
In this era, being a farmer is the most transparent background.
And Lady Shangguan doesn’t have any prejudice towards those who run their own business.
As long they earn their living honestly and don’t indulge in theft or robbery, there’s nothing disgraceful about it.
“Living by their own means is excellent. I just don’t know whether Xiaoxu and Xiaoxi would accept a sister who is twenty years younger than them.”
The main issue is that the child is too young.
That means Ni Cuihua was already divorced from her husband while still in confinement.
What on earth must have happened in a family to make a woman decide to divorce while she was still in confinement. And Ni Cuihua is a woman from the countryside.
Shangguan Dehui added, “Xiaoxu and Xiaoxi are good children. You don’t have to worry about them.”
“When did you meet Daya?” Lady Shangguan continued her inquiry.
“A little over a month ago, on the mountain trip. Daya was the one who saved me.”
“What?” The words took Lady Shangguan by surprise.
“Yes, she was the one who saved me,” Shangguan Dehui nodded and confirmed.
Lady Shangguan said, “If that’s the case, I won’t interfere with your relationship anymore. When you have the time, bring her home so that we can all have a look at her. If she’s suitable, you should set the wedding date as soon as possible. Both of you are not getting any younger.”
Children and grandchildren have their own karma.
If she interfered too much, she would only become annoying.
As long as the woman’s character is better than Lin Fang’s, that’s good enough.
She had already had a fight with Shangguan Dehui over Daya once before. If she made a fuss about it again, she was afraid she might completely lose this son of hers.
Shangguan Dehui nodded, “Alright. I’ll discuss it with her.”
After Ni Cuihua returned, she immediately told Ni Yang about the proposal.
Upon hearing this, Ni Yang hugged Ni Cuihua, “Mom, I want you to be happy. If Uncle Shangguan can bring you happiness, then I will support your relationship.”
“Yangyang,” Ni Cuihua hugged Ni Yang, choking with emotion, “Thank you.”
It must have been the good deeds of her past life that allowed her to have such an understanding daughter like Ni Yang.
At dinner, Ni Chenggui who was sitting beside Ni Cuihua was the first to notice the diamond ring on her hand, “Mother Ni, are you going to have a good news soon?”
A blush crawled onto Ni Cuihua’s face, “Sister Chenggui…”
Ni Chenggui laughed and said, “What’s so embarrassing about getting married? It’s a normal thing. When are you planning to hold the wedding banquet?”
