Chapter 622: 177: Slapping Shangguan Furong_1
Shangguan Xi initially held great expectations for Daya, whom she had not yet met, and her future little sister.
Being told this by Shangguan Furong, her heart ached terribly.
She was a little bit of a neat freak.
“Aunt, I think you might be exaggerating a bit?” Shangguan Xi frowned slightly.
Shangguan Furong chuckled, “Exaggerating? Wait until you see her in person, not everyone can be like your Aunt Lin Fang. Beautiful with a career. I’m just giving you a heads up, so you will be prepared. To save you from shocking our esteemed guest later.”
Xu Lian was drinking her tea, upon hearing this, she set down her cup and chimed in: “You can’t judge a book by its cover. Lin Fang may shine, but her character is lacking. True beauty lies within the soul. Xiaoxi, don’t overthink things, you should trust your father’s tastes.”
...
Xu Lian was also curious as to what kind of woman this Daya was that Shangguan Dehui would pine for her for so long.
Back when her sister Xu Fen married Shangguan Dehui, Xu Lian was completely against it.
Because Shangguan Dehui did not love Xu Fen.
But the younger Xu Lian had fallen in love with Shangguan Dehui at first sight and was determined to marry only him.
Because of pressure from Lady Shangguan, Shangguan Dehui was reluctantly forced to marry Xu Fen.
Fortunately, after their marriage, Shangguan Dehui changed for the better, their marital life was harmonious. Sadly, Xu Fen was not fortunate, two years after being married to Shangguan Dehui, she passed away.
Since then Shangguan Dehui never remarried.
Xu Lian knows that Shangguan Dehui still had Daya in his heart.
But she never blamed Shangguan Dehui.
Because Shangguan Dehui had fulfilled his responsibility towards Xu Fen.
And raised their two children to adulthood.
It was about time he found his own happiness.
After so many years, it was fate that Shangguan Dehui and Daya could meet again.
If not, it would imply that Daya was a rather scheming person.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have encountered each other again after so many years.
As aunt of Shangguan Xu and Shangguan Xi, Xu Lian would never allow a cunning woman to become their stepmother.
But she has not met Daya yet, so it wasn’t right to jump to conclusions.
