Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad
Chapter 256 High-Ranking Business Tycoon (Gong) VS Beautiful, Clueless, and Clear-Headed (Shou) [32]
In an environment where family backgrounds are equal, the younger generation is outstanding, not only humble in character but also equally talented. Therefore, the elders often secretly look for a match, and if both sides are satisfied, they will arrange for the younger generation to meet.
In wealthy families, marriages are generally not against the parents' decisions. Especially children from large families are not impulsive and do not place much importance on love. In fact, they often hand over the right to choose their own marriage to their elders at a very young age.
The same applies to Shen Xiushu.
So when his mother brought up his marriage, Shen Xiushu only pondered for a moment and said nothing.
He doesn't really care who he marries, because for him, it seems like he can be with anyone when it comes to love and marriage.
But for some reason, Jiang Xiyu came to mind subconsciously.
Thinking of that obedient young man, Shen Xiushu was lost in thought for once.
Shen's mother said she had almost found a suitable girl who was a good match for Shen Xiushu in every way.
She chatted with her relatives about the girl, and then told Shen Xiu that she hoped he could meet her when he had time.
Distracted, Shen Xiushu met his mother's expectant gaze and agreed to make time to see her.
Grandma Shen seemed to sense his lack of enthusiasm, so she said, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; these things can't be rushed."
Her relationship with Shen Jingtan's father was not a traditional arranged marriage, and their social statuses were not even equal.
When she was young, she was very famous in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but no matter how famous she was, in front of the powerful Shen family, she was nothing more than an actress to be entertained.
She followed Shen Jingtan's father for many years, and they went through a lot before finally getting together.
Outsiders say she married into a wealthy family, only coveting the status and position of the Shen family's heir. In fact, she and Shen Jingtan's father had been entangled for many years and truly loved each other.
Having witnessed the entanglements of marriage in wealthy families, the old lady didn't have high expectations for her own children.
However, children born into such an environment seem to have an innate drive to pursue excellence.
Yes, her two sons and her grandsons too.
Now that her grandson is about to go on blind dates, the old lady couldn't help but look at her son.
The man sat on the sofa, his aura gentle and deep, as if shutting out all the liveliness around him.
Shen Jingtan preferred quiet, so she didn't go to the tea room or participate in the conversation.
Actually, he usually wouldn't stay here for too long at this time.
But today, contrary to his usual behavior, he didn't go upstairs, and seemed to be a little drunk.
Those from the collateral branches wouldn't miss this opportunity to speak. Occasionally, someone would walk up to him and exchange a few pleasantries, and Shen Jingtan would give a slight nod in response. If a child accidentally danced in front of him, he wouldn't be too harsh on them.
It wasn't until he seemed to hear Shen Xiushu agree to meet the girl his mother had chosen that a hint of indifferent sarcasm appeared in his calm, watery eyes.
Young people's feelings are always fragile and cannot withstand setbacks, especially one-sided ones, which are more likely to break.
As the saying goes, an outsider's perspective is clear. Shen Jingtan knew Jiang Xiyu's feelings for Shen Xiushu, and he also knew that his nephew couldn't recognize his own heart.
However, that's between the young man and Shen Xiushu; Shen Jingtan won't interfere.
He was neither in a hurry nor worried.
Shen Jingtan stopped listening and wearily pinched the bridge of her nose.
The television, which occupied half of the living room, was on, and fourteen- or fifteen-year-old girls were gathered in front of it, excitedly discussing what they had seen.
"It's beautiful."
"This song is also quite nice."
"That celebrity is the one I've been following recently, he's really handsome, right?"
During the program, when the music started, Shen Jingtan suddenly looked up.
The camera was pointed directly at the young man's face at that moment; he was dazzlingly dressed.
He was very photogenic. Wearing a white suit and standing in the center of the stage, he looked elegant and noble when the dazzling lights came down on him.
The young man's singing voice was also extremely beautiful. When he hummed the ancient style melody softly, his tone became even more melodious and tender, as if giving people a gentle feeling of telling a story.
Occasionally, when the camera is pointed directly at him and he smiles slightly, his eyes seem to be filled with stars.
Even through the screen, the young man's smile was dazzling.
Shen Jingtan stared at it for a long time, and then seemed to give a silent, faint smile.
When the show ended, Shen Jingtan seemed to have suddenly lost interest.
He didn't want to stay there any longer, so he got up and went to the study.
Shen Xiushu followed him, saying he wanted to play a game of chess with him.
Shen Jingtan certainly wouldn't refuse.
The two actually have very similar chess styles. Shen Jingtan is calm about everything and likes her prey to come to her when playing chess.
Shen Xiushu's black pieces, however, were unusually aggressive tonight, pressing forward relentlessly.
Shen Jingtan raised an eyebrow, sensing that the other person's emotions were no longer calm, and suddenly brought up the blind date that Shen's mother had mentioned earlier.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiushu paused in his chess game, hesitating to make a move.
He looked at Shen Jingtan and said without any emotion, "Does Uncle think this is wrong?"
Shen Jingtan didn't even look up, and said calmly, "This is your business, you can decide for yourself."
"Whether I get married or not makes no difference to me," Shen Xiushu replied, frowning.
Shen Jingtan watched as his chess piece was placed on the wrong spot, and spoke calmly, but with the unquestionable tone of a superior: "If you get married, some relationships should be severed according to the rules."
Because this concerns the reputation and relationship between the two families.
If this gets out into the open, it won't be good for the woman, nor will it be of much benefit to the young man.
At the very least, if the woman had feelings for Shen Xiushu, she would absolutely not allow him to keep a mistress.
If a young person becomes the target of public criticism, their feelings and their future will likely be ruined.
Shen Jingtan thought about it and sighed slightly.
The thought of Jiang Xiyu made Shen Xiushu feel like something was gnawing at his heart.
He tried his best to ignore the palpitations in his heart, saying only, "I'll handle it."
Shen Jingtan smiled and said, "Actually, you can refuse the marriage your mother has arranged for you."
As he spoke, he offered words of advice with the composure of an elder: "The Shen family has no need for a marriage alliance."
He said this because he knew Shen Xiushu wouldn't refuse.
After his elder brother passed away, Shen Xiushu became incredibly obedient to his mother.
His father protected him during the car accident, which is why he couldn't be saved.
Perhaps in order to alleviate his mother's pain of losing her husband, Shen Xiushu had always tried his best to please his mother.
Although Shen Jingtan dotes on this nephew, he is essentially an ambitious man in a high position and a businessman who prioritizes profit.
He was scheming and calculating, but he was also giving Shen Xiushu an opportunity.
Shen Xiushu failed to provide an answer for a long time, so the opportunity lost its meaning.
After a long while, the silence was broken by the vibration of a cell phone on the table.
Shen Jingtan glanced at it expressionlessly, tossed aside the chess piece, and said calmly, "Go out and answer it."
