Chapter 421: The Reason


    Growing up, Lu Xingzhi''s life was smooth sailing; whatever he wanted, he would get it. It was the same


    for him even after attending university, thus he did not know how to meander his way to get what he


    wanted.


    "Come on, say it!" Jiang Yao gave him a little push, adamant for an answer.


    "They were probably convinced by my perseverance and dedication." Lu Xingzhi shrugged.


    Jiang Yao was indifferent to his reply. Maybe that was how it was.


    "My parents loved me dearly, but the mentality of the elders is always the same. To them, no matter


    how well-educated or how sessful a girl is, she must marry a man ultimately. My mum used to tell


    me how she was a little unwilling for me to marry at eighteen years old, she felt that it was too early.


    Yet, she considered you a good person. It does not matter when I marry, as long as I live a happy life


    after."


    Jiang Yao remembered back when she was against the marriage, that was what her mother told her. A


    woman would be much happier if she married a person who loved her instead of a person she loved.


    A better ount of Mrs. Jiang''s decision was due to the fact that Lu Xingzhi was willing to pay for Jiang


    Yao''s education after marrying her. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were intellectuals and it heartened them to


    know that their daughter would be in good hands.


    The Lu family was reputable and prominent in town. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lu were well-respected, thus


    the Jiang family had no reason otherwise to doubt the Lu family''s treatment of their daughter.


    That was probably why her parents kept pestering her even though they knew she was unwilling. It was


    an opportunity that was hard toe by and they felt that if she missed this one, she might never find


    another exemry person like Lu Xingzhi again.


    She was her parents'' darling daughter, they wanted to give her the best of everything, including her


    marriage into the Lu family.

    Yet, she did not understand why.


    After countless conversations and discussion with her parents, Jiang Yao was at the perception that


    they were too traditional and that their thinking was obsolete and old-fashioned.


    Lu Xingzhi looked at Jiang Yao, and spoke. "Is that why you relented? Finally persuaded by your


    parents?"


    "Of course not!" Jiang Yao retorted. With her stubborn character, he did not know how much suffering


    she had him gone through years after their marriage.


    Her parents kept urging her to ept the proposal, to her dismay. Her two elder brothers, who loved


    her dearly, got into fights with their parents over this issue. It was a dark time for the Jiang family.


    It was the first time in her life where she was scolded by her parents. That did the trick though. Her


    rebelliousness was provoked.
