Chapter 1123 - 1131: What If Your Daughter Doesn’t Like Him?
"Man Ning, don’t speak too much." Zhao Shuya reprimanded.
"Mom..." Su Manning wanted to say something, but Su Zhenxiong, sitting beside her, suddenly said, "There’s nothing for you here anymore, Man Ning. Go back to your room."
Actually, Su Manning knew very well that this matter was already set in stone, and now no matter what she said or did, she probably could not change the situation.
She nodded and turned to walk upstairs.
Su Zhenxiong and Zhao Shuya talked calmly for over half an hour, during which Zhao Shuya apologized to him, saying that from now on, they should sit down and talk properly, and she wouldn’t act impulsively like today again.
During this time, Su Zhenxiong didn’t say much, only indicating that if such a farce happened again, they would get a divorce.
Zhao Shuya understood the current situation clearly; she had already entered middle age, her figure had long since become bloated and unattractive, and she had no capital to find a man better than Su Zhenxiong, so after much deliberation, she decided to endure.
As long as she remained the lady of the Su Family, Su Zhenxiong wouldn’t dare bring another woman home openly. At most, he played around behind her back, just for show; no woman could threaten her position in the Su Family.
"Arrange the matchmaking," Su Zhenxiong said, smoking and without lifting his head.
"You can leave it to me without worrying. I’ve already been in contact with the Sun Family, and they say they’re willing to coordinate based on our schedule if we agree." Zhao Shuya couldn’t help but smile as she spoke, "I think we should set it for tomorrow night, the 16th. It’s quite auspicious."
Su Zhenxiong acknowledged with a hum, saying no more.
"By the way," Zhao Shuya thought of something and quickly said, "You know your daughter’s personality well, stubborn as a bull. Getting her to dress smartly for the matchmaking might be challenging. Old Su, you have to come up with a solution."
Su Zhenxiong remained silent for a while before saying, "Let the groom’s side come to our house for a simple meal and let them meet. The rest is up to the groom. He’s been married once before; he should know how it goes."
"Yes, that works." Zhao Shuya nodded and then asked him, "What if your daughter doesn’t like him?"
"She doesn’t have a choice," Su Zhenxiong replied.
"Hopefully, she’ll be obedient, as the Sun Family is quite powerful, and we can’t afford to offend them. If this marriage can be settled, that would be perfect."
Despite saying this, it wasn’t Zhao Shuya’s true intention; her ultimate aim was to see Su Jiuyi marry an old man twenty years her senior, so she could feel balanced in her heart.
Initially, Zhao Shuya didn’t agree to Su Manning’s engagement to the Song Family because she didn’t want her daughter’s marriage to be completely orchestrated; but later, after getting to know Song Zhike, discovering he was handsome, dashing, and had a good character, she gladly accepted.
However, because of Su Manning’s engagement, Zhao Shuya had always held a grudge, thinking that as Su Family’s eldest daughter, Su Jiuyi should be married off before Su Manning, and hence she had never been fond of Su Jiuyi, trying countless ways to drive her out of the Su Family.
Now finally there was a great opportunity, and she naturally didn’t want to miss it. Hence, she spared no effort to persuade Su Zhenxiong, trying to convince him—and of course, she successfully achieved her goal.
