Chapter 1550: Laying It Bare

The dining room was tidied up, and the two younger ones were called by Shi Jing to check today’s homework and recitation.

Jianbin didn’t want to leave, but Shi Jing pulled him away.

Now there were only a few of them left in the dining room.

Shang Zhenkun got up, “I’m leaving, you guys chat, but I have one thing to say, no matter who it is, it must be that my girl Feifei agrees.”

Jiang Xinyu stood up to help Shang Zhenkun leave, and Feifei walked out with them, leaving only Wei Kaiyun and Yang Run Tai in the dining room.

“I disagree, you won’t be able to take care of the family in the future.” Wei Kaiyun still frowned.

He was really conflicted right now. When Jing Chu was looking for a boyfriend, the couple were worried that someone with her appearance finding an average person might not be able to protect her in the future.

Now with Feifei, Wei Kaiyun was even more worried.

Although he knew his daughter was outstanding, in the face of powerful forces, she would still be very insignificant.

Continuing to work was part of his consideration. He needed to be strong to protect his daughter, to ensure no one would dare to have intentions towards her.

Yang Run Tai sat facing Wei Kaiyun.

“Uncle Wei, is there anyone better suited for Feifei than me? Indeed, I won’t give up my work, and I know that in the future, I might neglect family, but I will try my best to balance it. Furthermore, Feifei cherishes freedom. Rather than binding her, it’s better to give her the biggest space so she can be happy. I am working hard now because I want to be strong enough so no one dares to have any intentions towards Feifei. Actually, I’ve thought about this for a long time. Why mention it today? Feifei was harassed by three male colleagues on the street. I know, with Feifei’s combat ability, dealing with those three is no problem. But Uncle Wei, think about meeting more people in the future, more powerful ones? Uncle Wei. I know you will have power in the future and can protect Feifei, so why not both of us protect her?”

Wei Kaiyun shifted positions, “What you say makes sense, but do you know that Feifei might not become someone who can protect herself with her abilities in the future?”

Yang Run Tai laughed, “Of course, as long as Feifei is willing, that’s obviously not a problem at all. But Uncle Wei, if so, the man beside her has to either be as excellent as Feifei or live under her shadow. Uncle Wei, do you think that would be good for Feifei? Moreover, wanting to be with Feifei, everything must be clarified, right? Who can compare to me? After so many years, aren’t you familiar enough with me? You should know what kind of person I am, my temperament, my character. Even if I am not as good as Feifei, I won’t feel inferior; I will only strive to catch up with her and do my utmost to help her.”

Yang Run Tai knows that with Jiang Feifei’s personality, she absolutely doesn’t have the ambition to be strong.

No matter what, he would firmly protect her and fulfil her.

Wei Kaiyun smiled, “You’re right, for now. You are indeed the most suitable choice. But Feifei doesn’t agree; she doesn’t feel that way about you.”

“Uncle Wei, Feifei is still young. I’m not that old either; we still have a lot of time. The reason I made it clear now is because I want to stand proudly next to Feifei at school.”

“You don’t have to sound so grand. I can guess your thoughts. Actually, from my perspective, everything should be according to Feifei’s own wishes, even if she decides to stay single her whole life. I would agree. But Aunt Wei definitely won’t agree with that. So, I also think there should be certain things people should do according to their age. I think Feifei might have the same idea. When she wants to build a family in the future and you still hold this idea, then you can come talk to me.”

Yang Run Tai knows that just by making this clear today, it’s impossible for them to agree. Although he feels a bit disappointed inside, he isn’t too begrudging.

“Yes. Rest assured, Uncle Wei, I have a lifetime to wait for Feifei.”

“Good, and let me warn you, don’t tarnish Feifei’s reputation outside; I don’t want anything unfavorable about her being said.”

“Alright, I understand, but I will still continue to associate with Feifei as I did before.”

Wei Kaiyun didn’t object; being too deliberate about it isn’t good. Letting things happen naturally seems like Feifei isn’t interested in Yang Run Tai.

The mother and daughter and Shang Zhenkun returned to the room.

“Feifei, what are your thoughts?” Shang Zhenkun asked. So soon someone already had an eye on this grown girl.

“Master Shang, I currently don’t have thoughts of starting a family. To be frank, I knew about his unusual feelings before, and I thought to just let it be. I didn’t expect he would make it clear today.”

“Feifei, we absolutely support your decision.”

“Feifei, it doesn’t matter what you think now; I’ve told you before, I absolutely won’t agree to you not starting a family. Actually, I always believe without starting a family, a person isn’t complete. Maybe you will meet someone unpleasant or unsatisfactory, but that’s life.”

Jiang Feifei nodded; she had always known this. From her mother’s attitude towards Sister Jing Chu’s marriage, Feifei knew she definitely wouldn’t remain single in the future.

“Mom, don’t worry, I know. At the age of twenty-four, I’ll definitely start a family.”

Jiang Xinyu also nodded, “Feifei, better none than the wrong one.”

“Mom, you’re so conflicted. You want me to start a family but don’t want me to settle.”

“What’s contradictory about these two conditions? I hope my daughter can be happy for a lifetime.”

“Okay, mom, don’t worry, I definitely won’t let you down.”

“Xinyu, you’ve been with Xiao Wei for so many years, do you have any regrets?”

Jiang Xinyu didn’t expect Shang Zhenkun to ask her such a question.

“No regrets, we’ve been through so much together, the good and the bad, I have no regrets.”

“Feifei, did you hear? Your first half of life was pampered and raised by your parents, and we hope your second half is also spent being loved and living happily.”

Jiang Feifei smiled and nodded, “Master Shang, don’t worry, I definitely will. It’s not that I don’t plan on starting a family, just not right now. Also, I want to find someone to share life with who has common interests with me.”

Shang Zhenkun and Jiang Xinyu both shook their heads, “Feifei, that can only be in dreams. Since you don’t have any ideas now, that’s fine. But when you think about this in the future, remember what I said: I think two people who complement each other are the most suitable.”

Jiang Xinyu nodded in agreement with Shang Zhenkun’s view. Common interests are great, but in life, it’s better not to be too similar. Over time, it would feel like another version of oneself.
