【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Chapter 258 You are still young and have a long way to go. I will slowly look for you.

The meaning of Madam Li's words was very clear. Madam Xue was unable to argue for the moment and could only nod awkwardly. In the end, she did not even bother to drink the coffee brought by the waiter and hurriedly said goodbye and got up to leave.

"Madam Li, I won't disturb your afternoon tea for now. I will visit you when you return to the capital!"

"As for the rumors, let's just listen to them and laugh about it. It's good enough that we don't want to clarify them. How can we take them seriously? You go back and persuade Miss Ling. If she feels it's awkward to intern at Shui Rong, I will arrange for her to go to another company for training. After all, such rumors will affect her reputation in the future." Old Madam Li made the final move and called it a day. From the time Madam Xue came in to the time she left, she only gave her one chance to speak.

She is old now and her energy is not as good as before. In the early years, she would not give these people the opportunity to get close to her most precious grandson. How could such a mess of people get involved?

Mrs. Xue finally stopped pretending and got up and left the coffee shop angrily. It took a long time to walk out of the aircraft manufacturing base. The weather at the end of May and the scorching sun in the afternoon made her face burn. She didn't care about the strong light and forgot to wear sunglasses when she walked out.

A business car was parked on the side of the road near the highway, the door opened, and Xue Baochai was sitting in the car. She reached out her hand to help her mother, but Mrs. Xue shook her hand off and sat in the back seat angrily.

"Mom, what's wrong? Did you miss someone or did someone make you angry?"

Madam Xue closed her eyes and tried to suppress her anger. After a long sigh, she said, "Tell the driver to go down and wait."

Xue Baochai understood that he wanted to tell her something, so she quickly arranged for the driver to go nearby to buy them a few bottles of water.

"Mrs. Li has never agreed to your marriage, and you are so eager to do it. Do you think this is just a game?"

Xue Baochai immediately retorted, "But his second brother Li Haoze clearly arranged it this way, and Li Shuirong didn't refute it. He even arranged for Ye Shuyan and I to try on wedding dresses on the same day."

Madam Xue rubbed her temples and said impatiently, "Ye Shuyan was approved by Madam Li, and they held a special engagement banquet. I heard him say that he just delayed the wedding date, not canceled the engagement.

But you, I'm not showing any mercy. What I mean is that what a child says doesn't count, and rumors from the outside world can't be trusted, only her nod will do."

After hearing this, Xue Baochai's eyes lit up: "Then you can ask her for help. This is not a feudal society anymore. Women can pursue their own happiness. Our family is worthy of her, and we have invested in his second brother's business..."

It would have been fine if she didn't mention it. When talking about investment, Mrs. Xue became even angrier: "What investment? Did you get back a dime? I think you and your brother are not cut out for business. You should just keep guarding our own business. Why do you want to get involved in this mess?

And you want me to ask Madam Li for help? Her words were so precise that she didn't even give me a chance to refute. She said: She had already picked Li Shuirong, and that he was worthy of her in terms of family background, appearance, and talent.

What do you mean? It means that I have already picked out a future grandson's wife, and she is better than you in every way."

The light in Xue Baochai's eyes went out instantly, and she murmured to herself, "Could it be that Mrs. Li was talking about Lin Pin'er? No, it can't be her. What family background does she have now? The Jia family has fallen on hard times, and the whole family is crowded in that small courtyard. Who could she be talking about?"

Madam Xue sighed: "Who cares who she is? Just save yourself first." Madam Li said something that was not pleasant to hear, but it was for our own good.

She said: A girl's reputation is more important. Starting tomorrow, you should stop working for Li Shuirong and focus on your studies. Then, get our additional investment back as soon as possible and stop dealing with Li Haoze. He not only took advantage of your brother, but also took advantage of you."

Xue Baochai was not willing to give up. She posted all kinds of posts on her Moments during this period. On the one hand, she deliberately showed them to Lin Pin'er to make her angry, and on the other hand, she showed off to her friends. Everyone knew that she was going to marry Li Shuirong. If she suddenly didn't get married, wouldn't she be ridiculed?

"Mom, why don't I go talk to Madam Li and ask her what's wrong with me? Only then can she give up!"

"Don't you think it's embarrassing enough? Even if you don't care about face, I advise you not to get rejected. I just learned a lesson. Madam Li is not an ordinary woman. She knows everything and gave me a chance to speak. What she said was not a single word of nonsense, and she made me speechless. If you want to talk to her, you have to wait for a few more decades!"

"Should I just give up like this? I won't accept that. If I had been told from the beginning that it was impossible for me to be with him, I might have given up. But I was clearly given a chance, and that chance brought me so close to happiness, I won't accept giving up now."

Mrs. Xue calmed down after hearing this. Yes, she had also fantasized about this happiness with her daughter, otherwise she would not have come all the way to help her mediate. Now that she was already here, if she didn't let her see the real Buddha, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?

The driver thought he had to hurry back after getting back in the car, but Mrs. Xue asked him to wait a little longer. He tidied up Xue Baochai's appearance, told her that Mrs. Li was in the coffee shop in the base, and reminded her to be careful with her words before letting her get off the car.

Watching her daughter's back as she slowly walked towards the gate of the base, it might be because of the heat from the ground, her back was a little erratic. Madam Xue was willing to let her fight for it again. After all, it was such a large base with well-organized facilities, and it looked very impressive. If her daughter took over the Li family's business in the future, she wondered how those ladies who looked down on them as an orphan and a widow would envy her!

But after just a moment, Xue Baochai appeared back.

Mrs. Xue also helped her open the car door and held out her hand to support her: "How is it? Did you see it?"

Xue Baochai lowered her head and said nothing. The driver sighed, got out of the car tactfully and walked away.

"Madam Li didn't meet me, but arranged for her housekeeper to give me this business card. She said that I should go to this company for internship after I resign." After saying this, Xue Baochai's tears began to pour out. She kept sobbing, and after a long time, she spoke; "I liked Li Shuirong when I first met him, but he was aloof and ignored me at that time. I couldn't fit into his circle until Li Haoze found me and arranged for me to get close to him. At that time, I thought I saw an oasis in the desert. Unexpectedly, it was a mirage."

Mrs. Xue could only pat her back gently to comfort her: "You are still young and have a long way to go. There are still many new nobles in the capital. Mom will slowly help you find one. Okay?"
