——————
The most important thing is, Yan Jinsu has a mysterious Chinese medicine technique that even they don’t know about!
Just by seeing how she managed to make her cousin-in-law end up exactly as her previous threats had described, one can tell that Yan Jinsu’s abilities are undoubtedly extraordinary.
Otherwise, a man like Xie Jingchen wouldn’t be protecting her with his life!
Thinking of Yan Jinsu’s delicate skills and her confident gaze, Wu Xuming adjusted his silver glasses again and stated affirmatively, "Grandfather...she is a remarkable woman."
It’s extremely rare for her to make his heart race. If only she wasn’t married with children...
Hearing his grandson utter this abrupt conclusion, Wu Youbai raised his white eyebrow, and as he watched his reaction, his hand holding the document core snapped together like jade clashing against stone, and his aged voice arose:
"Xuming, are you fond of the Yan Family’s daughter?"
Wu Huaimin paused from reading the report, lifted his head to glance at his son, and saw that he, unusually, was showing a bashful expression.
"Grandfather." Wu Xuming felt a bit embarrassed, facing the wise and insightful old eyes of Commander Wu, he shook his head gently and replied formally:
"Although I quite like her personality and the way she handles affairs, I’m not to the point of having feelings for her. Moreover, she is married with a child; as a son of the Wu Family, I’m not that desperate to court a married woman." freёweɓnovel.com
"Very good," Wu Youbai said, squinting his eyes with satisfaction.
No matter what his grandson truly felt, now that he understood this principle, Wu Youbai was ready to drop the matter.
"Dad, in my opinion, we should be courteous and negotiate properly with the Yan Family’s daughter. From what I’ve seen, her way of handling affairs has always been enlightened. Just the fact that she was willing to give a blood transfusion to Xuqiang right after the incident with Xie Jingchen shows she is not a selfish or unreasonable person."
The Yan Family has always been fair in their dealings, and there hasn’t been any slip-ups; furthermore, our family is a powerful clan, and the Yan Family is not of low status either. If there were to come to a confrontation, even if we could overpower them, there would be a price to pay.
Moreover, dealing with matters now is not the same as before, the national policy is changing, and the country’s leadership is in the midst of a tense transition; our Wu Family need not provide others with gossip during this critical juncture.
Upon hearing these words, Wu Youbai looked at his eldest son, then at his grandson, and with a nod, commanded in a serious tone, "Huaimin, you handle this matter. As you are not part of the government or the military, they will be more inclined to communicate with you. Lower our stance a bit; all efforts should prioritize saving Xuqiang."
"Yes, Dad," responded Wu Huaimin promptly and respectfully when he heard his father rarely heeding advice.
Wu Xuming’s eyes brightened upon hearing this, pleased that his grandfather was actually taking advice for once.
"Dad, what about Dongzhu..." Song Cuiqin hurriedly voiced her concerns.
Their son’s marriage to the Liu Family’s girl was facilitated by the old master himself.
Back in the day, Wu Youbai owed Liu Aimin a favor; plus, Liu Dongzhu wasn’t bad-looking and had a good reputation outside the family. Rarely, Xuqiang really liked the girl, so the old master agreed to it.
Liu Dongzhu had always been well-behaved in the Wu Family, aside from being unable to conceive naturally, she was indeed a qualified Wu Family’s daughter-in-law.
Who would have known that when Wu Xuqiang’s life was in danger, she would do such a thing.
To be honest, Song Cuiqin was quite touched because this daughter-in-law must truly care about her son to have gone to such lengths.
As for himself, he saw more clearly than his older and second brother, he wasn’t material for fighting over power, and his drive for power and status wasn’t as strong as his brothers’.
"Dad, don’t think too much about it, no matter whether the position of the Family Head is passed to brother Xuqiang or Xujie, it has nothing to do with our third branch. We just need to focus on our own business," Wu Xuming said with a light laugh, pushing up his glasses to reassure him.
"I’ve never worried about that, I’m just worried about you." His son was already twenty-six and hadn’t even dated yet, which made him somewhat concerned.
Sometimes, seeing his son’s indifferent and desireless demeanor, he would sneer internally: Could the Wu Family really be under an unknown curse? Now in its third generation, except for Xujie, who has a daughter, none have had male heirs.
His own Xuming didn’t even have a woman. Every time he asked him to go on a blind date, he would refuse, and if pushed, he met people and just said he didn’t feel anything.
If he hadn’t checked his son’s health and found no problems, he would have, like his mother, been nagging him to get married every day.
"Dad, don’t worry about this matter." Talking about blind dates gave Wu Xuming a bit of a headache; after his mother, now his father was pestering him to marry?!
"I’d rather not worry, but how old are you now? Take advantage of the fact that everyone is too busy to deal with your marriage prospects, why don’t you decide on a wife yourself quickly?
Do you really want to wait until they choose the Family Head, then slowly pick one from the marriage candidates they arrange for you? Xuming, listen to your dad, quickly start dating someone to avoid your grandfather randomly setting up matches."
With that, Wu Huaimin suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Nobody would like their marriage to be decisively dictated by their parents.
However, thirty years ago, the situation with Commander Wu was a complete autocracy, everyone had to listen to him.
This also led to all the daughters-in-law in the Wu Family now being appointed by Commander Wu.
