Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 994: Chapter 995: Advise Prudence Once More

With Cheng Su as the mediator, Director Ying agreed to let Ying Xiaoya bring Xiao Pinshan home for the New Year and meet him.

This was a softening in her parents’ attitude. Ying Xiaoya was delighted, knowing Cheng Su played a role in this, and gratefully hugged her and kissed her heavily.

Cheng Su was left with her face covered in spit, feeling both amused and annoyed. Thinking of Director Ying’s worries and Xiao Pinshan’s personal situation, she earnestly shared a few thoughts with her.

”... Xiao Pinshan’s family background is different from yours. He’s from the countryside, and his parents are on a different level compared to yours, which is the class difference of one’s original family — the so-called ’matching families.’ He’s divorced with a child, and that child is nine, turning ten during the New Year, right? You should understand his temperament. Xiao Ya, honestly, if it weren’t for your own feelings, I hope you would make a more cautious choice, just like your parents do.”

”Why are you saying this too? We’re not some wealthy family, so there’s no talk of climbing up the social ladder.” Ying Xiaoya pouted, kicking the snow beneath her feet. Her parents didn’t like Xiao Pinshan, and even Cheng Su was saying this.

”I know you’re not listening right now. But we wouldn’t harm you; Manager Xiao likes you, loves you. But whether this liking and loving will continue in your future life, whether any sudden changes might occur, you need to consider carefully.” Cheng Su said seriously, ”You can date now, but don’t rush into marriage. Spend more time together, meet his family more, especially the child, to see if you get along. These are things that will appear in marriage, so you must be cautious.”

If it weren’t for the times, she would suggest she live together as a trial marriage, but it’s not an open era now, so spending more time together is the way.

Ying Xiaoya is a good girl, very innocent in character, and Cheng Su feared she might suffer a setback in love. Zhang Yujun previously was such a rogue, it was an undeserved disaster. She hopes for smooth going this time.

Not to say Xiao Pinshan is bad; his abilities and character are apparent and good, but often in a marriage, family factors decide many things.

Marriage is different from love; love allows for willfulness and breaking apart, but marriage doesn’t. Once both sides marry, many things need to be considered — two families and big responsibilities.

Anyway, if possible, Cheng Su hopes Ying Xiaoya could marry someone whose family is clean on both sides, so the days after marriage wouldn’t be too difficult.

”Alright, alright. Look at you. You’re supposed to be my best friend, but you’re not on my side at all; you’re on my parents’ side like my sister, even though I’m older than you.” Ying Xiaoya pouted again in dissatisfaction.

Cheng Suxin thought, I truly am your sister; I’ve lived two lifetimes!

”It’s precisely because I’m your friend that I want what’s best for you. Marriage isn’t easy; just look at me. Even when the families are matched, and everyone’s background is clean, there’s still the in-laws. You know what I’ve been through, right? Not to mention, you have an ex-wife’s child there.” Cheng Su spoke like someone who’s been there.

Seeing Cheng Su’s serious expression, Ying Xiaoya said, ”I know. We’re just dating now, not getting married. I will look carefully, decide whether to marry or not.”

Cheng Su smiled, feeling quite relaxed now, only too aware that women in love can be foolish, their eyes blind.
