On the day I was kicked out of my parents’ home, I had a flash marriage with the richest man.

Xia Yiyi's eyes were firm, "Okay! You have to do what you say! But there is one thing, I don't admit that you broke off relations with Chu Shan because of me! I won't take the blame! I have never seduced Chu Shan, and I have never thought of using Chu Shan to climb up the social ladder! I just treat him as a friend!"

"What is a friend? It means that you don't care about your background or your past, and you can still treat each other sincerely. That's a friend!"

Then, Xia Yiyi said again.

"I hope that when Chu Shan returns, Madam Chu can get along with him in a different way, instead of forcing him to do things according to your wishes with orders! He has his own freedom. Even if he is mediocre and does nothing, you have to accept him as he is!"

Miao Yajie said with disdain, "He is my son. I can treat him however I want. It is not your turn as an outsider to interfere!"

"I really have no right to meddle in your family affairs, and I don't want to meddle in your family affairs. I'm just giving you good advice! Otherwise, if you continue to treat Chu Shan the same way as before, I'm afraid he will run away from home again."

Miao Yajie was very unhappy that Xia Yiyi challenged his authority. Just as he was about to scold Xia Yiyi angrily, En Ning interrupted him hurriedly.

"Aunt Miao, Yiyi is right! Xiaoshan has a personality that needs to be followed. Don't force him. Otherwise, the result will be counterproductive. The more you don't let him do something, the more he will do it! Do you still want him to run away from home? Never come home again?"

Enning took Miao Yajie's hand and comforted him.

"Xiaoshan's character is still immature. We should treat him like a child, teach him earnestly, and slowly improve him. It's not a good thing for mother and son to always go against each other. Since we can't change him, we as parents should make some corresponding changes."

"The problem must be solved. We can't just keep on being deadlocked, right?"

Miao Yajie's anger subsided after En Ning's persuasion. "As parents, how can we not love our children? He really disappoints me! If he can cut off all ties with the outside world and come home, I am still willing to accept him."

When Miao Yajie said the second half of the sentence, he deliberately glanced at Xia Yiyi.

"Okay then! That's it! I agree! I will go along with him as much as possible, after all, it's my child."

Seeing that Miao Yajie agreed, Xia Yiyi had nothing more to say and stood up with her bag.

"Yiyi, I'll take you there." Enning also stood up.

Xia Yiyi refused and whispered, "Sister Enning, you came here today because I know you are worried about me and want to support me. I want to be alone."

En Ning did not insist. She looked at Xia Yiyi meaningfully and patted her shoulder gently.

"Yiyi, some things require courage, and retreating is not an option!"

Xia Yiyi didn't quite understand what was said. After a moment of reaction, she understood the deeper meaning behind En Ning's words and said with a smile.

"Sister Enning, I really have no feelings for Chu Shan! I just feel a little uncomfortable because I was wrongly accused."

En Ning smiled but said nothing. He watched Xia Yiyi leave, sat back in the dining chair, and spoke.

"Aunt Miao, you and I both know that you announced to the public that you severed your relationship with Chu Shan in order to let him see clearly whether the people around him are human or ghost. What does it have to do with Yi Yi? How can you put the main blame on Yi Yi? This is too unfair to her! You know, she did nothing wrong."

"It was Xiaoshan who had been pestering her. And if Yiyi hadn't been involved in the fight, the person lying in the hospital now might very well be Xiaoshan."

Miao Yajie cut a piece of steak and put it in her mouth, chewing it carefully with an elegant posture, like a real lady.

"I know she's not the main reason, but I just want to put all the pressure on her! If it wasn't for her, would Xiaoshan jump off the building to escape? He didn't care about his own safety in such a high building and went out to find her! If I kept Xiaoshan locked up at home, he wouldn't have participated in this fight!"

"It's the same situation, so I'm not grateful to her!"

Enning saw that Miao Yajie was determined, so he didn't say much.

Miao Yajie has a daughter-in-law, Su Ya, who has no background. Although he doesn't say it, he loves Su Ya like his own daughter, but there must be regrets in his heart.

Therefore, she placed all her expectations on Chu Shan, hoping that Chu Shan could find a daughter-in-law with a good family background. It was not that she wanted to have a business marriage, as the Chu family was now so powerful that they no longer needed a business marriage to consolidate their position in the business world.

Although Miao Yajie is now the legitimate wife of the Chu family and is superior to others wherever she goes, she feels empty inside.

Her background always made her seem insecure among the noble ladies, but it would be different if she had a relative from a high-class family, which would be like giving her an extra layer of glory as Mrs. Chu.

A good marriage would also be beneficial to Chu Shan. Given Chu Shan's performance, only a good marriage could give him a foothold in the Chu family.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

En Ning said, "Aunt Miao, if the marriage is not a marriage of mutual affection and love, even if the other party's family is good, the couple will not be harmonious and happy. Do you want Chu Shan to be unhappy? Moreover, can a good marriage really benefit you and your son? How can you guarantee it? What you think of as a good marriage is not the kind of person who wants to climb up the Chu family and make profits for his own group?"

"We all know what Xiaoshan is like. Which rich girl wouldn't want to choose an outstanding and high-quality man? In their eyes, Xiaoshan is nothing more than a surname. That's why he's attractive to them."

"It may not be able to satisfy your wishes! It may cause new troubles."

Miao Yajie didn't expect that En Ning could easily see through his little thoughts. "You know my situation. I have no background, no family background, and my foundation is too weak."

"I'm not worried about Chu He, he's capable! But Xiao Shan is different, he's not ambitious and doesn't have his own career. It's not a good idea to always rely on his family for support! If I can have a good marriage, with a foundation and support, I'll be more at ease when I'm old and gone."

"I also hope he can be happy. I owe him too much. But this is the only thing I can do for him."

En Ning shook her head gently. "If you really love him, you should fulfill his wish! No matter if the person he chooses is Xia Yiyi or someone in the future, as long as he can treat the other person sincerely, family background is not important at all."

"Aunt Miao doesn't like Yiyi because of those rumors? You also know that those rumors are not true. Yiyi is protecting Manke."

"I know all this, not because of this incident. I'm worried that the girl has ulterior motives. Xiaoshan is no match for her."

Enning smiled, picked up her bag and stood up without saying anything else.

Miao Yajie stopped her, "I can see that you are on Xia Yiyi's side. I want to know why? Is it because you are both from Yuncheng and you have known each other for many years, and you want to help her."

En Ning said with a smile, "Auntie, you think too much. I just think Yi Yi is a good person! If possible, I don't want our Yi Yi to meet Chu Shan, a little bastard."

"Our Yiyi is kind and innocent, she deserves better!"
