"Guozhong, Yicheng really likes and values Nianhua. I’ve met her and talked to her. I think she’s truly an exceptional girl," Wan Hongxing earnestly persuaded.
In the past six months, Wan Hongxing had said many good things, but after only speaking a few sentences, Pei Guozhong would become angry or change the topic, leaving Wan Hongxing with nothing to say.
Now that there was finally a chance, Wan Hongxing naturally wanted to ease the relationship between the father and son.
Originally, the father-son relationship between Pei Guozhong and Pei Yicheng was not good.
Now that Pei Guozhong opposed Pei Yicheng being with that girl, didn’t it just exacerbate the father-son conflict?
If the girl were not good, with a wayward look, and poor character, then his opposition would be reasonable, in Wan Hongxing’s view. After all, there’s no father who doesn’t love his son.
But the girl was wonderful; aside from not being from a wealthy family, her character and looks were both excellent.
Wan Hongxing couldn’t understand why Pei Guozhong was so adamantly opposed.
"I’m doing it for his own good," Pei Guozhong grunted.
"Yicheng doesn’t need any embellishment. He is very smart and capable."
Before Wan Hongxing could finish his sentence, Pei Guozhong interrupted, "He’s still young and thinks he can do anything with his abilities."
"It’s precisely because he’s young that it’s even more precious. Think about it, among so many young people around us, who can compare to Yicheng?" Wan Hongxing retorted.
There was a faint pride in Pei Guozhong’s eyes, which was soon replaced by annoyance. Such an excellent son, yet now he doesn’t acknowledge him.
"He knows what he wants. If you are firmly against him being with Nianhua, aren’t you afraid of pushing your son further away?" Wan Hongxing remarked with emotion, "As our children grow up, as parents, we should learn to let go. Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes."
"Dad, why do you not like the future sister-in-law?" Pei Yijian, with his small figure, ran in holding a big watermelon. Standing in front of the hospital bed, he looked at Pei Guozhong with confusion and said, "The future sister-in-law is very pretty and capable. Why doesn’t Dad like her?"
Pei Yijian was not even ten years old, and his clear eyes reflected his confusion plainly and clearly.
Pei Guozhong: "..."
"Dad, I also think Nianhua is great. Look at us, there are four of us here, and three of us like Nianhua. Do you really think, if she were not good, would we all like her?" Pei Yining also disagreed with her father on this point. She said, "Nianhua’s grades at school have always been outstanding, and their 302 Translation Studio business is doing well. Everyone who’s worked with them praises their promising future."
"Does Dad really think brother’s happiness is more important than money?" Pei Yining pouted. To her, it’s already good enough that her brother wants to get married, not to mention Nianhua is so excellent!
If he can’t marry Nianhua, she thought, her brother would probably prefer to remain single forever rather than marry someone else.
"When did I ever say I was definitely against it?" Pei Guozhong turned his face and grumbled, "It’s just your brother, talking with her for so long and still isn’t bringing her home."
Pei Yining: "..." She had the urge to roll her eyes, even if the person was her own father.
"Yicheng will be delighted," Wan Hongxing breathed a sigh of relief. She really feared that Pei Guozhong would stubbornly oppose it, making it even harder for the father and son to mend their relationship.
