Chapter 1922: Chapter 1924: He’s Actually Quite Nice

They say a daughter is her mother’s little padded jacket, always close to her heart. Since she’s the mother, whatever she says, the daughter ought to at least listen and take it to heart.

Hearing her mother say these things, Yang Qiu’s eyes grew hot. Having a mother really was wonderful—she might nag a bit, but she was someone who genuinely cared about you from the bottom of her heart. Yang Qiu hooked her arm through her mother’s and squeezed it tighter. "Mom, I know, I’ll choose carefully. I promise I’ll pick a good one for you—a son-in-law who will honor you."

Hearing that, Yang Ming’s mother beamed. "Really?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

"Mm, really. If I meet someone suitable, I’ll marry him," Yang Qiu replied.

When Yang Ming’s mother heard that, her daughter didn’t sound like she was just saying it perfunctorily, so she spoke again, "That’s good then. As long as you haven’t given up on the idea of finding a husband, I can be at ease. It’s just, I’m still worried. Because of that business with Wang Kui, I’m afraid it might be hard for you to find someone in the future."

Yang Ming’s mother spoke while testing her daughter’s attitude, deliberately saying a few things. "I don’t even know what’s going on with that Wang Kui from your brother’s Escort Agency. Isn’t he just causing trouble for you? One of these days I really need to talk to your brother, tell him to keep a tighter rein on his men at the Escort Agency. They shouldn’t be running their mouths without a gate on them. If this ends up making it so you can’t get married, who’s going to take responsibility?"

Not only did Yang Ming’s mother say this, the expression on her face also showed how indignant she was, taking up the cudgels for her daughter.

Yang Qiu had rarely seen her mother like this. But this matter really couldn’t be blamed on him, so she explained, "Mom, he was doing it for our good. He knew I was Third Brother’s younger sister, that’s why he stepped in to help. He didn’t expect things to blow up like this. We can’t blame him. He’s actually a pretty decent person."

Yang Qiu genuinely felt that Wang Kui was quite all right. Back in Lin County, she’d been alone and powerless, and Wang Kui had gone straight to the Guo Mansion with his men without a word of complaint. After the Xuntian Escort Agency people left, he kept following along and escorted them all the way home. Even if it was for her third brother’s sake, she still accepted this favor.

She had to admit, he counted as a pretty good man.

She mustn’t let her own situation lead to Wang Kui being scolded at the Escort Agency—that wouldn’t be right. So she hurriedly explained things to her mother.

Hearing her daughter’s rather positive evaluation of Wang Kui, Yang Ming’s mother asked, "Xiaoqiu, from what you’re saying, you know Wang Kui?"

"Mm." Yang Qiu nodded in reply.

She felt that at this point she shouldn’t hide it from her mother. After all, Wang Kui was one of her third brother’s men at the Escort Agency. Sooner or later her mother would meet him. Besides, Wang Kui had escorted them back from Lin County, and her older sister had seen him, Sister Xiangxiang had seen him too. If she claimed she didn’t know him, it would only make people suspicious. And she and this Wang Kui didn’t have anything between them anyway, so there was no need to go out of her way to deny knowing him.

"How did you two meet?"

On this point, Yang Ming’s mother truly had no idea. Even though she knew Xiaoqiu and the others had been escorted back by men from the Escort Agency, she didn’t realize that was Wang Kui.

Seeing her mother ask, Yang Qiu told her the truth. "Mom, last time in Lin County, the one who helped me deal with the Guo Family, and then escorted my sister and me back home, that was Wang Kui. He’s a big, burly fellow, but he’s really a good person. He helped a lot with Sis’s situation."

These words left Yang Ming’s mother deeply surprised. So her daughter and that Wang Kui had had contact. Did that mean this man named Wang Kui also had a good impression of her daughter?

Thinking of this, a smile crept onto Yang Ming’s mother’s lips. She felt more and more that this whole matter was starting to look promising.
