Chapter 1292 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 14
"I have a daughter..."
As soon as Shu Jiao began to speak, a look of realization appeared in Rong Jing's eyes.
understood.
He got it.
This is to find a husband for their daughter, but why not send a matchmaker instead...? Most importantly...
Rong Jing looked up at Shu Jiao.
They're already arranging marriages, so her daughter must be at least fifteen or sixteen years old, but this man doesn't look like he's in his thirties or forties at all!
"She needs a new dad."
Shu Jiao said directly.
New, new dad?
What the hell?
Rongjing experienced a direct magnitude 10 pupil earthquake.
"cough!"
Ming Yanning coughed heavily, reminding Shu Jiao that her motives were too obvious. "Young Master Rong, don't be nervous. My boss is a foreign merchant with immense wealth. He has only one daughter, whom he cherishes like a precious jewel."
“Miss lost her father at a young age, and my master is a loving mother who truly feels sorry for the child.”
"Besides, how can a child be without his father taking care of him..."
Ming Yanning's words, though somewhat veiled, weren't entirely obscure.
Rong Jing finally understood.
The rich heiress in front of me... she wants to marry him as her second husband.
Correct.
娶。
I need to live with her, take good care of my daughter at home, and...
She was a foreign businessman, so he couldn't even be given a proper title. That's why he wasn't called her stepfather, but rather her mistress.
haha~
He's not crazy, he's just dreaming.
"Young Master Rong, rest assured, with my master, you'll never have to worry about money again for the rest of your life."
Shu Xin said confidently, "This is just a small token of my appreciation. As long as Young Master Rong agrees, the rest of my life..."
That's too crude a way of putting it.
Startled, Ming Yanning quickly tugged at her, then gave her a look that signaled her to "shut up," before smiling gently and beginning to persuade Rong Jing.
Although, for the man from Daxing, this was indeed a difficult thing to accept.
But then again.
Why don't you take a look at Shu Jiao's family background before you speak?
All your hard work in the imperial examinations has ultimately been for wealth, fame, and a better life, hasn't it? Just nod your head and you can avoid a hundred years of detours!
What is the ideal of helping the people?
Hi!
Once you marry into the Shu family, you can freely use their vast wealth to help the people. This is much safer and faster than becoming an official!
what?
Are you power-hungry and want to become an official?
Then go ahead and take the test.
Your employer won't stop you from taking the imperial examinations. Besides, studying is expensive; does your family have the money to support you all the way to the top?
no.
Going back to the issue of not having a formal status, isn't this a wonderful thing?
If you really marry another girl from a wealthy family, once you've achieved financial stability, won't you have to give back to your in-laws? Won't you have to help your wife's younger brother? Won't you be forever bound to her?
But once you enter the Shu family, things will be different.
Their main business is overseas!
They don't need your help, and they're not tied to you. You just need to soothe the child; isn't that easy and enjoyable?
And look at my boss, she's beautiful, elegant, and has a great figure and temperament.
Isn't this the best choice?
After Ming Yanning said that, Rong Jing was truly tempted.
Upon seeing this, Shu Jiao, without saying a word, added two more boxes of gold and ten land deeds.
Rong Jing nodded with tears in his eyes.
It's not that I have a low resistance; it's just that the other side gave me too much.
He's already twenty, and with no parents still alive, he doesn't really have much choice in marriage. He might as well go with Shu Jiao; at least she's generous and seems to have a good temper.
Soon, Rong Jing moved into the Shu residence.
Stepping inside, Rong Jing was stunned by the symmetrical layout, the picturesque scenery at every turn, and the elegant and lively atmosphere of the top-tier mansion. Then, thinking back to his own small, dilapidated house…
damned!
Who is really enjoying these good days?
Oh ~
it's me.
Hehe, now it's finally my turn for such a good day!
After walking a few steps, Rong Jing saw Shu Xi studying.
He had just heard that the reason Shu Jiao was interested in him was because Shu Xi was interested in him.
So he smiled at Shu Xi in a very friendly manner.
That smile...
He exudes the charm of a married man!
Shu Xi liked it even more, calling him "Little Daddy".
Rong Jing's smile froze slightly. After a two-second silence, he wanted to respond, but didn't know what to call Shu Xi. In the end, he just nodded slightly.
"Just call me Ah Xi, Daddy. My name is Shu Xi, which is the name my mother gave me."
Shu Xi said very enthusiastically.
As he spoke, he secretly gave Shu Jiao a thumbs-up.
Her mother is really amazing.
She said that whoever she wanted to be her stepfather, her mother could make that person her stepfather, and she wanted that too in the future!!!
From Shu Jiao and the others' behavior, as well as Shu Xi's words, Rong Jing keenly sensed—
The customs and traditions of the Shu family's hometown are probably quite different from those of Daxing.
Just look at Shu Jiao's subordinates; not a single one of them thought there was anything wrong with her bringing him into the mansion to be Shu Xi's stepfather. That alone is already a big problem!
Soon, night falls.
Rong Jing sat in the room flipping through a book, the candlelight everywhere illuminating the room as bright as day.
This experience was something I had never felt before.
Warm tea is always available, the kitchen is always open, and even the expensive ice is used as if it were free...
If you were to ask Rong Jing how he felt, it would be summed up in one word—
Cool!
Thinking about the huge dowry she received, she felt even better.
He couldn't help but silently say in his heart: Thank you, Father and Mother, for giving me such a good face. Don't worry, once I've established myself in the Shu family, I'll build a tomb for you two.
Let's build the most luxurious tomb ever!
Burn the most expensive incense!
We won't move from here.
The fact that you two met Shujiao right after your mourning period must mean that the place where you are buried is a feng shui treasure, bringing prosperity to your descendants!
"Crench."
With a slight noise outside, the room door was pushed open.
Rong Jing tightened his grip and looked up towards the door, "Shu..."
What should we shout?
lady?
I'm a little hesitant.
Boss?
That was far too polite for their relationship.
Seeing the panic in his expression, Shu Jiao raised an eyebrow slightly, "What does A-Jing want to say? On our wedding night, why is A-Jing acting like this..."
As she spoke, Shu Jiao looked him up and down, "So unfamiliar?"
Wedding night.
Upon hearing those four words, and perhaps thinking of something, a faint blush involuntarily crept onto Rong Jing's fair face, which was usually kept smooth from rarely going out.
"Ah Jing seems to be looking forward to it?"
"I do not……"
Rong Jing argued weakly.
After all, he had never had such a romantic experience in his life, and Shu Jiao was a stunningly beautiful woman with a captivating charm. Wasn't it normal for him to have some expectations?
It's just that I'm a little embarrassed to admit it.
Shu Jiao chuckled upon seeing this.
If we're talking about fun, it has to be these tender, inexperienced seedlings.
Even a slight joke elicits a very endearing reaction.
"I've studied this book before,"
Shu Jiao snatched the book from his hands and said with a meaningful smile, "I'll teach you. I'll teach you properly..."
