Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife - Chapter 1297
Chapter 1297: Climb A Window To Meet (4)
“Yuan Yuan, if your mother makes things difficult for you again, just tell her plainly that you’ve set your sights on the Mo family’s power and my talents. In the entire capital, she won’t be able to find another man who has as high a status as I do and who is so good to you.
“Tell her plainly that you want to marry into the Mo family as its young madam and enjoy everyone’s envy and respect. You like the luxury that the Mo family can provide. You want to be like my aunt, with a doting husband and an intelligent child, enjoying an exultant position among the rich matrons in the capital.
“You won’t fancy a man who is not capable. Unless she can find someone whose family background and capability are superior to mine, you won’t even look at him.”
Zhong Bingyuan: “…”
Could… could she do that?
“But… But I’ve never thought like that! You’re so outstanding. In order not to burden you, I…”
She had studied so hard all these years in order to be worthy of him and of how good he was to her. Now for her to say such things…
She had really never thought like that.
Mo Chengxi laughed. “I didn’t say that you are really like that. I know you’ve always worked very hard so that you can work with me and you’re afraid that you will cause trouble for me. But Yuan Yuan, to some people, what I said is the truth.
“This is the real world. People pursue fame, wealth and status. Those who look down on fame and wealth and say they’re indifferent to such things are actually the ones who secretly long for them the most. Only people who have had these things in the past have the right to say that they don’t care. For those who have never had anything, what right do they have to say they don’t care about fame and wealth?
“Your mother is from a scholarly family, and she appears to be incredibly lofty and looks down on businessmen like me. But Yuan Yuan, even if she despises me, I doubt she’s stupid. In her heart, she knows that the men she introduces you to are inferior to me. Why does she object so violently to us being together?”
Zhong Bingyuan did not understand. She really did not understand.
Every mother hoped that her daughter would find a very capable husband. That would reflect well on her parents.
But her mother was so strange. She could never figure out why.
Mo Chengxi smiled and flipped over. He took off his shoes and climbed on the bed. He burrowed into her blankets, leaned against the headboard, then stuffed Zhong Bingyuan into the blankets and held her in his arms.
“Silly girl, your mother’s desire to control you is actually a desire for power, status and authority.”
Zhong Bingyuan was bewildered. “What do you mean?”
“No one in your entire family listens to her. No matter what she does or says, she’s always wrong. Of course, I’m not saying that your entire family is picking on her, but she really has made mistakes and doesn’t have the ability to do anything right. But she doesn’t want to admit it and is unwilling to admit it. The entire family agrees to you marrying me and believes that I’m the best choice. It will be good for you and the family. But have you forgotten? Your mother has disliked my Mo family right from the start.
“When you were first found and before you regained your memory, she picked on my aunt for no reason. She has always had a bad impression of my family and wants to suppress us. But she doesn’t have the ability to do so. Now that I like her daughter, she feels that she finally has a hold over me and has gained an upper hand over my family. That’s why she objects so adamantly.”
Zhong Bingyuan was completely floored!
She could barely believe it. “This… this is impossible. She’s my mother, my own mother!”
Would a mother cast aside her daughter’s lifelong happiness just to vent her spleen?
