The second wife pursed her lips and said, \u201cMom is only saying this to you. I won\u2019t mention it to anyone else, especially not to your aunt.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy daughter is excellent\u2014there\u2019s no need for her to compete with anyone over a man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, it felt a bit regrettable.<\/p>\n

She had missed out on such a promising son-in-law like Zhan Yuan.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the way, how did the old lady of the Zhan family come to know your elder sister? I heard she\u2019s already in her early eighties, yet she still travels around looking for wives for her grandchildren.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second wife was clearly intrigued by Madam Zhan.<\/p>\n

Ouyang Ting replied, \u201cI don\u2019t know Madam Zhan personally, so I\u2019m not sure. All I know is that she took a liking to my elder sister, and Zhan Yuan did too. I don\u2019t have any romantic feelings for Zhan Yuan. Mom, please don\u2019t say things like, \u2018It\u2019s a pity we missed out on him\u2019 in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s too easy to be misunderstood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGot it,\u201d the second wife nodded.<\/p>\n

She was only speaking privately to her daughter. It was late at night, and the rest of the household was asleep\u2014no one else could hear their conversation.<\/p>\n

Besides, she was merely expressing a sigh of regret, not seriously encouraging her daughter to compete with her sister for a man.<\/p>\n

Her daughter was outstanding and had her own dignity. She didn\u2019t need to fight over a man with her own sister.<\/p>\n

As her daughter had pointed out\u2014if Zhan Yuan weren\u2019t a wealthy young master, would she have approved of the match? Probably not.<\/p>\n

Even for the eldest son\u2019s family, that kind of decision would\u2019ve been difficult.<\/p>\n

Her niece Aya was a proud and capable woman. As the head of the Ouyang family, no man\u2014not even an extraordinary one\u2014could easily win her heart.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why marriages are best when they\u2019re between people of equal social standing.
\nThat\u2019s why marriage is best between people of equal social standing.<\/p>\n

\u201cMom, it\u2019s late. Go upstairs and get some rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlright. You should head up too and try not to stay up too late. If it gets too overwhelming, let your third and fourth sisters share some of the workload.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second wife felt sorry for her daughter, seeing how exhausted she was.<\/p>\n

Ouyang Ting was silent for a moment, then said, \u201cThey\u2019ve already helped a lot. It wasn\u2019t until today that I truly realized how much my eldest sister has been carrying. Her workload alone is equal to that of two or three of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s true. As the president of the group and the head of the family, she bears enormous pressure and faces everything head-on. Even so, the company sometimes suffers losses. But in business, that\u2019s just how it is\u2014there are always ups and downs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAya has done an outstanding job.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second wife had no complaints about her niece.<\/p>\n

If Ouyang Ya hadn\u2019t stepped up at such a young age and taken on such a critical role, the family wouldn\u2019t enjoy the stability they have today.<\/p>\n

She felt a bit ashamed to admit that many members of her own family once tried to carve up a portion of the Ouyang family\u2019s wealth.<\/p>\n

Caught between her husband\u2019s family and her own, she had been deeply conflicted\u2014so much so that she lost sleep and couldn\u2019t eat properly.<\/p>\n

In the end, she chose to face the challenges alongside her husband and children.<\/p>\n

She even returned to her parents\u2019 home and had a huge argument with her parents, siblings, and extended family\u2014and didn\u2019t go back for a long time afterward.<\/p>\n

Ouyang Ya worked hard and achieved real results, proving to everyone that the daughters of the Ouyang family are not weak, and can shoulder major responsibilities.<\/p>\n

Since then, the second wife\u2019s maternal relatives had backed off.<\/p>\n

Now, although she\u2019s resumed normal contact with her mother\u2019s side of the family, she remains cautious and keeps her guard up.<\/p>\n
