Chapter 1259: The Fool's Daughter (38)

"Pink or purple?"

Yuan Shuo was dragged into the room where Mother Yuan kept her jewelry. There was an entire room in the Yuan family dedicated to precious jewels and accessories, all belonging to Mother Yuan.

Yuan Shuo's father neither smoked, drank, nor gambled. His only hobby, perhaps, was doting on his wife.

He spoiled her with all his might.

Since Mother Yuan loved jewelry, he had people searching all over the world for rare gems and ornaments to bring back to her.

In fact, the reason Father Yuan worked so hard making money was simply to buy jewelry for his wife.

"Xiao Shuo, now that we've picked out the meeting gift, when are you bringing that girl home for your mother to see?"

Mother Yuan looked at Yuan Shuo expectantly.

"Don't worry. As long as she's the girl you like, I won't object. I don't care about family background. As for appearance, as long as you can bear to look at her, I can close one eye and pretend not to see. But I trust your taste. She must be a good girl."

"Mom, she really is a good girl. She just hasn't had a fortunate life."

Yuan Shuo briefly described Tang Guo's family situation.

Mother Yuan listened sympathetically and said, "Then you have to treat her well. Once she joins our family, Mother will help you take care of her. I guarantee your precious darling won't be bullied by anyone."

Yuan Shuo wasn't worried about that at all.

His mother, aside from loving jewelry, was a genuinely kind person.

And Xiaoguo was easy to get along with.

The two of them would definitely get along well.

As for his father, there was even less to worry about. If Mother Yuan said the sun rose in the west, his father wouldn't dare disagree.

"Alright, Xiao Shuo. Now tell me, when are you bringing your girlfriend home?"

Yuan Shuo looked troubled.

"Mom, we're still just friends. Things haven't progressed that far yet. But don't worry, I'll work hard and turn the word 'friend' into the words 'girlfriend.'"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Mother Yuan smacked him on the head.

"You silly boy! Why stop at 'girlfriend'? Turn her directly into your wife. Wouldn't that be even better?"

Yuan Shuo: ...

That actually made a lot of sense.

"Oh, right. You've been coming home late and leaving early lately. People from your company told me you've even moved your meetings to the mornings?"

"Well, I have to pick her up in the morning, take her home in the evening, and have meals with her on the way."

"Not bad. Alright, Xiao Shuo, hurry up and bring my daughter-in-law home. You need to work hard."

Yuan Shuo quickly agreed.

He wanted that too.

But she wasn't some silly girl.

She was clever as a fox.

Winning her heart definitely wouldn't be easy.

One day, after returning home with a full stomach, Tang Guo had barely opened the door when she heard Tang Lide and Song Jinghua arguing.

The moment they saw her come in, both instinctively stopped speaking.

However, each turned their head away from the other, clearly still upset.

"Dad, Mom, what's going on?" As their daughter, she naturally had to ask with concern.

Neither spoke.

"Mom, tell me. What happened?"

Seeing Song Jinghua's eyes redden, Tang Guo felt no sympathy.

Everything had reached this point because the two of them had failed to see clearly.

"Your father wants to mortgage the house and borrow money for your eldest uncle. I opposed it. This apartment was bought after years of hard work."

" Tang Lide, don't forget how difficult it was when the three of us were squeezed into that tiny one-bedroom apartment all those years ago."
