Chapter 2242 - An ultimatum
“Nothing. Are you hungry? Come with me for breakfast!”
“Okay.”
An Xianming had gone upstairs to see if she was sleeping well and if she was awake. Now that she was up, he took her downstairs.
Rong Lihua turned around and saw An Xianming coming down with Xue Yating. She immediately put on a smile and greeted her.
“Tingting, did you sleep well last night?”
“It was alright.”
“Mm, breakfast is ready. Let your uncle take you there for breakfast!”
“Okay.”
Xue Yating had always been very polite. Until now, Rong Lihua could not find any fault with her.
An Xianming brought Xue Yating to the dining room and arranged for her to sit down. The servants of the An family immediately informed the kitchen and brought their breakfast up.
Halfway through the meal, An Xianming received a call. “Tingting, you eat first. I’m going out to answer a call.”
“Mm.”
After An Xianming left, Rong Lihua took the opportunity to sit down and talk to her.
“Tingting, I heard from Xianming that the two of you used to be very close. He always agreed to your requests, right?”
“That’s right. My uncle really cares about me.”
Rong Lihua nodded and smiled again. “Then can I ask you to help me persuade him? Right now, no matter who he is, he won’t listen to anyone. That’s why I have no choice but to ask for your help.”
“What did you want me to tell him?”
“I’ve been trying to persuade him to agree to the marriage with the Shen family for a few years. It’s because he never agreed to it, and now he can’t come back. Moreover, his age can’t be delayed anymore. His father and I are already old and waiting to have a grandchild! If he continues to delay it like this, it won’t be good. That’s why I want you to help me talk to him.”
After Xue Yating understood what was going on, she fell silent for a moment and said, “I’m sorry, Madam. I’m afraid I can’t help you with this. Little Uncle is a mature, steady, and opinionated man. He has his own decisions in everything he does. No one can interfere or control him. I know his character very well. If you and Sir are in a hurry to have a grandson, I think you should arrange a marriage for your youngest son. Perhaps he will agree.”
Xue Yating had learned from An Xianming that he had a twin brother named An Jichuan, who happened to be at the right age for marriage.
Rong Lihua had always thought that Xue Yating had performed well and was very cultured when she spoke. But now, her answer made her feel embarrassed.
Normally, people would at least agree to help her, but she directly rejected her and even brought up her youngest son!
If she couldn’t even handle her eldest son, how could she say anything about her youngest son?
It wasn’t as if they hadn’t talked about it before. She had already issued an ultimatum asking her sons to get married, but both of her sons were hiding away from home like they were hiding from the plague and never talked about marriage. Moreover, in order to avoid getting married, her youngest son used studying abroad as an excuse and left for three years. He still hadn’t returned home until now.
Since Xue Yating was not willing to help her talk about An Xianming, Rong Lihua sighed. “Okay, Tingting, take your time to eat! I still have something to take care of.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
When Rong Lihua turned to leave, the smile on her face had already disappeared. Her good impression of Xue Yating had also started to decline because of her words just now.
However, the other party was still a guest, and she would not give him any face. As for the marriage with the Shen family, she would not give up either. She would find an opportunity to let Shen Ranran come back to the house and meet her son more often. She would get along well with him and perhaps she would like him!
