There was a faint smile on Mrs. Zhuang’s charming face, and she looked at her daughter with an increasingly amused gaze.
“I’ve never seen this happen before, who else could have sent you home? How was your day?” Madam Zhuang lowered her voice and asked.
Only then did Zhuang Shurong walk over and sit down on the short sofa at the side. “Nothing much. I was busy for a long time back at the courthouse, and then we just ate together.”
“Mother, I know that you and Father are very concerned about my marriage, but I really don’t have the heart for it. I…”
“Silly! How can you think like that? If you don’t be intentional with marriage, then when Mother and Father get old, who will support you and watch over you? Your father and I have you as our only daughter. If you don’t live well, your father and I won’t be at ease either. I’ve taught you since you were young, you can’t be so selfish, don’t you remember?”
Madam Zhuang reprimanded her in a low voice.
Zhuang Shurong’s expression changed as well. She took a deep breath and said, “But I don’t even like them. Don’t you think it’s very painful to live with someone you don’t even like?”
“If you don’t get along with them, how do you know that you won’t like them? It’s all your father and I’s fault. We’ve been spoiling you since you were young, look how we’ve spoilt you to be? Let me tell you, your father and I have studied the Mu family many times, Mu Tangchuan too. We’ve been observing them in secret for a long time and we really found out that the two of you are just right. Your family background isn’t too different and you can be considered a match for each other. Also, Tangchuan is a handsome and talented person. What else are you not satisfied with?”
“Mother! I understand all of this, but I…”
“There’s no ‘but’. You’re a judge after all, so you should be more straightforward in whatever you do. When will your high awareness in work be placed on your feelings and your marriage? If not, you can go back to the political party school and study for a few more days.”
Mrs. Zhuang was clearly getting anxious.
“I don’t understand. Do you and Father really want to marry me off so badly?”
“Yes! We just don’t want to see you become an old aunt, a girl who is too strong-willed. If that happens, it will be even harder to find you a partner in the future. Mu Tangchuan is someone with great qualities, don’t let go, that’s all we can do. I hope that you can think about it yourself. You may be annoyed with us now, but after a few years, you will understand.”
Zhuang Shurong felt exhausted as she listened.
“I know, I’ll think about it. Even if I want to, I don’t think people would be happy to comply, so I advise you not to have too many fantasies. I’ll say it again, if suitable then I’ll get married, if not, I won’t force myself.”
“You’ll definitely be satisfied with Tangchuan. Of course, I also believe in my daughter’s charm.”
Madam Zhuang had always been very confident in her daughter’s charm. They had investigated Mu Tangchuan and knew that he did not have a girlfriend now. He seemed to have been single ever since he graduated. Moreover, his personal qualities were great too, there was really nothing to pick on.
He had a good family background, good character, and good ability. There were not many people like that nowadays.
Zhuang Shurong was finally defeated by her mother. She nodded her head helplessly. “Mother, you and Father should stop worrying about it. I will take your words to heart.”
“It’s best if you can take heart, don’t let us worry too much. You’re very good at your job, I believe that you’ll be very satisfied with your relations.h.i.+p. This relations.h.i.+p is just that. You have to be calm and rational when looking at anything. There’s nothing wrong with that. I know what you’re thinking. I struggled the same way when I married your father back then, but it wasn’t a big deal once it was done.”
Madam Zhuang sighed softly, as if she was recalling something. “The ambition that should be realized, the dream that should be fulfilled, must still be fulfilled. This is the reflection of your vision and your value to society. You must remember it.”
“Yes, Mother! I will remember it.”
Zhuang Shurong did not know what else she could say, so she could only respond in this way.
Undeniably, what her mother said made sense.
She should be glad that she had a mother who was deep in righteousness, rational, and calm. Since she was young, she was not like those people. Her mother had focused on raising her to be a woman who could take care of herself.
Her mother always said that women should have their own social values. Apart from being able to take care of their husbands and raise their children, they should also have the ability to take care of their own lives. They should be unwavering, and they should also be gentle and understanding.
Her mother was a relatively advanced intellectual at that time. She had been to the countryside and had experienced turmoil and war.
It was said that her mother’s family had been a scholarly family for several generations. Her grandfather had stayed overseas in his early years. Later, he returned to his motherland and founded a school. In that generation of City Z, he was somewhat famous. In the end, he seemed to have died from an a.s.sa.s.sination.
At that time, her mother was already 18 years old. Not long after that, her grandmother pa.s.sed away after her grandfather too. Her mother became a real loner. However, at that time, her mother had already been engaged to her father. After that, she married into the Zhuang family and struggled to this day, now, she could be considered to have a foothold in the political world.
“Alright, since you are clear about it, I won’t say anything more. If you are satisfied, look at Tangchuan’s side. If he doesn’t object, after getting along with him for a while, we will settle the marriage. This year, you can get engaged. Next year, get married. In that case, you shouldn’t object, right?”
Madam Zhuang’s plans were very good. She had just spoken to Mu Yinan and w.a.n.g Hui, and they had the same intentions.
Mu Yinan and w.a.n.g Hui were naturally extremely satisfied. Previously, they had also thought that Shen Wenna could become their daughter-in-law. They had not expected that Shen Wenna and their son would not have the same chemistry, so they could only give up. Although they felt a little regretful, they still had to put in effort in their son’s marriage. Now that they had met Zhuang Shurong from the Zhuang family, they were even more satisfied!
She was also in the political arena like their son, so there would be plenty of opportunities for them to take care of each other in the future. Moreover, Zhuang Shurong’s personality was more gentle and sensible than Shen Wenna’s. She was very capable, was very beautiful, and had a good family background. She was the perfect match for their son!
They had already decided that they would definitely make Zhuang Shurong their daughter-in-law!
Especially w.a.n.g Hui, she was completely satisfied with Zhuang Shurong.
She was also someone who had met countless people and knew what kind of girl was suitable.
Therefore, she was very closely monitoring this matter. She had even thought very carefully about how her son would take down Zhuang Shurong. Mu Tangchuan was not sure whether to laugh or cry right now.
“Here, two tickets for the concert. Tomorrow is the weekend. I called and asked. Ah Rong is not working overtime today, and she has time tonight. You should get off work early tonight and invite her out for dinner. Then, bring her to a concert. She likes concerts like this.. Also, this, when you meet a girl, you must not be empty-handed. Do you understand?”
