Chapter 2216: He Said He Has Someone He Likes
“The Gong family?” Shen Xin was stunned. “Why did you bring Sister to the Gong family?”
Mother Shen kept quiet for a while before saying, “Previously, the Gong family wanted to ally with our Shen family through marriage. I thought that since your sister and that child from the Gong family knew each other since they were young, and the two families knew each other well. Moreover, that child from the Gong family liked your sister since she was young. If your sister married him, she definitely wouldn’t suffer any grievances.
“If the marriage between the two families was successful, it would be beneficial to both families. I asked your sister’s opinion, and she agreed.
“But I didn’t expect…” Mother Shen’s expression darkened as she recalled what happened that day.
Shen Xin was stunned for a few seconds.
She didn’t know about this.
But she knew that Gong Zeli liked her sister for many years.
But the person her sister liked was Mo Yesi.
“What happened that day?” Shen Xin asked curiously.
Mother Shen nodded, and her expression darkened. “I thought this was a sure thing. But I didn’t expect Gong Zeli to be unwilling even after your sister agreed. You don’t know how badly he rejected your sister that day.
“He didn’t give our Shen family any face at all. Not to mention your sister, even I was furious. What’s wrong with our Shen family now? Is Rourou not worthy of Gong Zeli? It’s good enough that Rourou doesn’t despise him for being sick, but he’s still putting on airs.”
Shen Xin was shocked. “Brother Zeli rejected Sister? How is that possible? Doesn’t he like Sister a lot and always wanted to marry her?”
“That’s right. He always showed his love for your sister. We also thought that he liked Rourou very much, so the two families had this intention. Who knew…” Mother Shen said angrily, “He said that he has someone he likes. Hehe, I don’t believe that there’s a woman more outstanding than Rourou. He’ll regret it sooner or later!”
Shen Xin was shocked that Gong Zeli would reject her sister.
Shen Xin could understand if Gong Zeli was unwilling to marry her out of consideration for the Gong family’s interests.
After all, liking someone wasn’t enough.
Families like them prioritized benefits.
But now, the Shen family was out of trouble.
Moreover, from what her mother said, the Gong family was the one who initiated the marriage proposal.
Then why did Gong Zeli reject it?
“Brother Zeli likes Sister. He’s definitely willing to marry her. If he rejected her, there must be a reason,” Shen Xin said.
“What reason?” Mother Shen didn’t think much of it. “He had a change of heart and likes another woman now. I want to see what kind of woman he likes.”
“Mom, don’t be angry.” Shen Xin patted her mother’s arm and comforted her gently. “Sister is so outstanding, she’ll definitely find me an outstanding brother-in-law in the future. Actually, I think it’s a good thing that Gong Zeli rejected her.”
“A good thing?”
“Mm, I think Brother Zeli’s personality isn’t compatible with Sister’s. They might not be happy if they really get together.”
“That’s true. My daughter is so outstanding, she won’t have to worry about marriage.”
“Let me ask Sister.” Shen Xin got up and said, “Mom, I’ll accompany you later.”
