Chapter 616: 176: Agreed to be together, meet the parents, guests from a far! _3
“It’s Daya,” Shangguan Dehui answered.
Upon hearing this, a momentary silence filled the air.
After a short pause, Lady Shangguan asked, “Dehui, you’re not joking with me, are you?”
Years ago, Shangguan Dehui had been driven to the brink of madness in his search for Daya, his love at first sight. It was only after Lady Shangguan stepped in, threatening Shangguan Dehui with her life, that he finally agreed to marry Xu Fen, who was from a family of equal social standing.
After his marriage, Shangguan Dehui had completely changed. Withdrawing his wild habits, he devoted himself to his studies, and successfully completed his postgraduate and doctoral studies, even becoming a professor.
So, Lady Shangguan had no particular fondness for Daya, whom she had never met.
...
If it hadn’t been for Daya, they, mother and son, might have been driven to a complete break.
For a moment, Lady Shangguan even believed that Shangguan Dehui was purposely trying to provoke her.
“I have indeed found Daya,” Shangguan Dehui said with a serious expression.
Lady Shangguan put down her chopsticks, “Even if you have found Daya, so many years have passed. She’s probably married by now. You’re not considering breaking up her family, are you? Absolutely not! I won’t allow it!”
The Shangguan family is prestigious.
Shangguan Dehui is the head of the family, and he can’t possibly consider breaking up someone else’s family.
“Mother, don’t worry. Like me, Daya is currently single,” Shangguan Dehui replied.
“Really?” Lady Shangguan expressed her doubt.
“Really,” Shangguan Dehui nodded.
“So what’s her current situation?”
Shangguan Dehui went on to say, “Her name’s Ni Cuihua. She’s 37 this year. She divorced her husband a year ago and is now raising two children. The elder daughter is 18 years old; the younger is one year and five months.”
“The younger daughter is that young. So, does she have any connection left with her husband?” Lady Shangguan continued to question.
“You don’t need to worry about that. There is no contact between them at all,” Shangguan Dehui replied.
Lady Shangguan kept her opinions to herself for the time being, “What about her family? What do they do?”
“Their background is very clean. They are farmers by birth, and are now running their own business in the city.”
In this era, being a farmer is the most transparent background.
