Jiangcheng is so far from here\u2014how would I know what happened to the Feng family over there?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ouyang Ting then explained the situation to her mother.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cThe acting head of the Long family is afraid he\u2019ll end up like the head of the Feng family\u2014making things easier for the legitimate branch, Zhengyi. So he arranged for his eldest son to pursue us sisters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all about securing their future. It\u2019s their way out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they marry into our family, and the rightful heir of the Long family returns alive to reclaim his inheritance, would Long Tuo and his father dare to refuse? After all, they\u2019re holding the family\u2019s leadership tokens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe elites of the Long family recognize only the tokens, not the person. They follow whoever holds them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs in-laws, how could we not help Long Tuo? Our Ouyang family would get dragged into it. If things go wrong, we could become collateral damage. Their real goal is to gradually infiltrate our business through marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the time is right, they\u2019ll take it for themselves. Our family fortune was built over generations\u2014it didn\u2019t just fall from the sky. When Grandpa passed away, neither Dad nor Uncle could stabilize the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBack then, everyone connected to us\u2014and even the senior executives\u2014wanted to carve up our family\u2019s assets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, have you forgotten the crisis we faced in those years?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf my sister and I hadn\u2019t turned the tide, we might have nothing left today.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cDoes Mom really want to go through all that again?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Second Wife: \u201c\u2026Of course not. There\u2019s no way I\u2019d want to experience that again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright then, it\u2019s not fair for you to criticize Long Tuo. You don\u2019t even know him. I only heard that he\u2019s been pursuing you persistently, and since you don\u2019t have a boyfriend, I just brought it up casually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he\u2019s not suitable, then let it go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll keep an eye out for someone better. If I come across anyone who seems like a good match, I\u2019ll let you know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut don\u2019t marry far away. Mom doesn\u2019t want you or your sisters to move too far. Our family can\u2019t do without you girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The second wife truly didn\u2019t want her daughter to marry far from home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActually, your aunt was hesitant to let your elder sister marry far away too. But Zhan Yuan worked in our household and lived with us for quite some time\u2014it felt no different from him being part of the family. That\u2019s why your aunt eventually accepted it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he hadn\u2019t worked with us, your aunt never would\u2019ve agreed to the marriage. Your elder sister may be strong and capable, but she still had to think about our family\u2014our parents and your younger brother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Zhan family is wealthy and thriving, and they didn\u2019t mind Zhan Yuan staying here long-term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At this point, the second wife sighed again. \u201cTingting, the more I think about it, the more I feel Zhan Yuan really is a good match.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, no matter how good Zhan Yuan is, he\u2019s still my future brother-in-law. He came here for my elder sister. Please don\u2019t say things like that again\u2014it could make people think I\u2019m trying to steal him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ouyang Ting reminded her mother firmly.<\/p>\n<p>She was genuinely concerned that her mother didn\u2019t realize the seriousness of such remarks. Repeating them might cause misunderstandings, damage the relationship between her and her sister, and even lead to internal rifts within the Ouyang family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandma Zhan had met my elder sister long ago and thoroughly looked into her before arranging for Zhan Yuan to pursue her. He came under the pretense of being a chef, but in reality, he was here to win his wife.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Long Tuo\u2019s father was an ungrateful man. \u201cMom, have you heard about Jiang Chengfeng\u2019s family?\u201d Ouyang Ting asked.
