Mingxuan smiled and said, "Why are you being polite? As an elder, would I argue with a junior like you?"

Then he changed the subject and said, "Actually, there is another important reason why I didn't leave just now, and that is I want to have a good talk with you."

Song Mingyi was surprised: "What does Uncle Ming want to talk to me about?"

"I want to talk to you about your marriage with Jinyan. You have met Jinyan before. He was brought up by me. He is kind and handsome, and he has skills."

"More importantly, if you marry into my Ming family, I will treat you like my own daughter and love you like my own daughter. When you and Jinyan have a boy or girl, you will be the real mistress of my Ming family. It will be much better than you staying in the Lu family and being a stepmother."

"If you are worried that Lu Shenxing will not divorce you, you can leave this matter to me. I believe in Lu Shenxing's feelings for you, but I believe more in the word "interest". As long as the benefits offered are sufficient, I think Lu Shenxing will be willing to divorce you."

Song Mingyi said: "Thank you for your love and care for me, Uncle Ming. I believe that Uncle Ming really treats me as his daughter, which is why he repeatedly asked Ming Jinyan, whom you raised, to marry me, a woman who has been in prison."

"But I'm sorry, Lu Shen and I are in love and have promised to spend our lives together. We don't want to separate, and no one can separate us. I believe that Uncle Ming is such a reasonable person, he will definitely not do such a thing as forcibly separating a couple, right?"

Mingxuan didn't expect Song Mingyi to be so stubborn. He frowned and said, "Mingyi, you are still too young. Marriage is a lifelong thing. You can't decide your life based on your own preferences. Otherwise, you will end up miserably, just like your mother. Doesn't Qingge's story serve you as a warning?"

Song Mingyi said solemnly: "Yes, I have always felt sorry for my mother's death. Such a good person should have a good ending, but she died young. As her daughter, I have never been able to let go of her story."

Mingxuan's brows relaxed a little when he heard this. He thought he had convinced Song Mingyi. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard Song Mingyi change the tone.

She said: "But I believe that my mother must have been very happy when she made the decision to leave the Li family. And I also believe that Lin Xingchao, who was able to make her make this decision, was at least worth it at that time."

"I rejected the marriage proposal with Ming Jinyan and chose to be with Lu Shenxing because I thought Lu Shenxing was worth it. As for what will happen between us in the future, I don't know."

“But I believe that no one in this world can predict what will happen in the future, and life becomes interesting because of these unknowns.”

Mingxuan said solemnly: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I'm scared. I'm only in my twenties and I haven't lived enough. Of course I'm scared to death, but I believe in the man I chose. I also believe that even if Lu Shenxing changes his mind one day, I have the ability to protect myself."

“Maybe this is the difference between me and my mother.”

"You don't have the chance."

As the words fell, Lu Shenxing strode over.

He hugged Song Mingyi into his arms, with a domineering look on his face, and said, "Song Mingyi, listen to me, I will never give you the chance to say the word regret in this life! I will make you feel that your choice is worthwhile for the rest of your life!"

Song Mingyi stood on tiptoe and kissed Lu Shenxing on the face: "Well, I believe in my husband."

Song Mingyi seldom called him husband, and when Lu Shenxing suddenly heard it, he could hardly hold back.

He put his arms around Song Mingyi's waist and pressed her into his arms. If they were not at Li's house and in front of Mingxuan, he would have pressed Song Mingyi down on the bed and made her call him husband.

Mingxuan's expression was particularly ugly. He said in a cold voice: "Mingyi, it seems that you are going to be like your mother and refuse to listen to advice?"

Song Mingyi looked up at Mingxuan and said, "Uncle Ming, I really appreciate you always caring about my mother. But I think that even though my mother ended up in a miserable way, she should have never regretted the choice she made back then."

This sentence instantly reminded Mingxuan of the last time he saw Li Qingge.

At that time, Li Qingge had already formally proposed to him to cancel the engagement through the Li family.

Mingxuan was not convinced, so he found her and questioned her.

What's good about saying that man is just a gigolo who has to rely on her for support?

Is it worth it for her to give up her status as a rich lady?

Isn't she afraid that he will change his mind one day and she will end up in a miserable situation?

What did Li Qingge say?

She said: "I am afraid! I am also afraid that people's hearts are fickle. Even if it is the man I love, I cannot guarantee that he will treat me like a treasure for the rest of his life."

"I can't even guarantee that I will be the one he loves for the rest of his life. After all, there was Chen Shimei a thousand years ago, and there will still be Chen Shimei a thousand years later."

"But I believe that no matter what the future holds, no matter what the final outcome will be for Lin Xingchao and I, I will still be grateful to him for bringing me happiness and joy at this moment, and I will never regret my decision at this moment."

"I'm not being stubborn, but this is what I think in my heart."

Even though they were 25 years apart, the mother and daughter said such similar things.

This made Mingxuan even angrier. He couldn't help but wonder, are the men in their Ming family so bad?

He was no match for a pretty boy back then, and the son he raised couldn't compare to a guy with two burdens...

No, how could he accept this?

Endless resentment and anger made Mingxuan's face look extremely ugly.

Song Mingyi said, "Uncle Ming, you look very unhappy. You must be tired. Shenxing and I will not disturb you from resting. We will take our leave now."

Having said that, Song Mingyi took Lu Shenxing's hand and left.

When he stepped into the living room, Lu Shenxing looked back and saw Mingxuan's eyes were gloomy, staring at Song Mingyi's back.

The look on his face was terrifying.

As soon as Song Mingyi and Lu Shenxing left, Ming Jinyan came and called out, "Father."

Before he could finish his words, Ming Xuan slapped Ming Jinyan in the face.

He cursed: "Idiot! Useless thing! Didn't I ask you to go to Haicheng in advance? Why haven't you won Song Mingyi's heart in such a long time? Are you so incompetent!"

Ming Jinyan lowered his head with a look of respect.

Only his drooping eyelashes hid the coldness in his eyes.

The fists at his sides were clenched tightly.

Mingxuan issued an ultimatum, saying: "No matter what method you use, you must make Song Mingyi marry you! Otherwise, get out of our house. I don't want to keep a waste!"
