Madam Shen’s expression changed.
Madam Gong’s expression also changed. “Zeli…”
“I’m tired, I’ll go upstairs and rest for a while. You don’t have to call me for dinner.”
Gong Zeli ignored everyone and left.
“This…” Madam Gong was furious.
Madam Shen didn’t look too good.
After all, her daughter had been rejected.
In Madam Shen’s opinion, her daughter was outstanding and no one was worthy of her.
When the Shen family fell, she forced Shen Rou to go on blind dates.
Back then, Shen Rou was criticized and rejected because of the Shen family.
But now, the Shen family had recovered, and the Gong family was the one who initiated the marriage talks.
Madam Shen never expected Gong Zeli to reject her.
And it was a direct rejection.
Coupled with his deliberate words, it could be said that he didn’t care about the Shen mother and daughter.
Madam Shen had been controlling her emotions all this while, and now, she couldn’t control them anymore.
She felt that the Shen family had just escaped danger. If they could form a marriage alliance with the Gong family under such circumstances, it would be very beneficial to stabilize the Shen family’s current situation.
Moreover, the Shen and Gong families had a feud with the Mo family.
If the two families joined, they could still fight against the Mo family in the future.
Under such circumstances, a marriage alliance would definitely be beneficial to both families.
But now, after being humiliated by Gong Zeli, even if Madam Shen had the intention to let her daughter marry him, she couldn’t possibly let herself and her daughter lose face.
Given the Shen family’s current situation, it wasn’t difficult for Shen Rou to find a husband of equal status.
Although marriage with the Gong family was the best choice, it wasn’t necessary.
At this thought, Madam Shen’s expression darkened. She didn’t want to lose face anymore and said directly, “Since Zeli is so unwilling and doesn’t intend to get married now, let’s forget about it.
“I thought that since he and Rourou grew up together, and he used to say that he liked our Rourou, and Rourou would definitely be very happy to marry him, this marriage would be a happy thing. But it seems like we old people don’t understand the thoughts of young people. Since he’s unwilling, we as parents can’t force him.”
Madam Gong looked anxious. “Sister Shen…”
“Madam Gong, it’s getting late. Rourou and I won’t disturb your rest. I’ll come and see you when the sky changes.” Madam Shen said coldly to Shen Rou, “Rourou, let’s go.”
This time the Shen family wasn’t urgently in need of help.
They were doing well now.
It would only get better in the future.
Her daughter was outstanding, and she could find any kind of son-in-law.
Even if he was slightly inferior to Gong Zeli, it was still good.
At least she didn’t have to worry about hurting her daughter.
She hadn’t even despised this brat from the Gong family, but this brat actually despised her precious daughter.
“Sister Shen, I’m so sorry.” Madam Gong recalled what her son had just done and tried to smile. “Zeli was really too rude today. He wasn’t like this in the past. Perhaps he encountered something outside today, so…”
