Tong Huaer was shocked, paused, and said, "Of course it's true. Can I lie to them? This is about grandma and the teacher. How can I joke?"
"Huaer, you were really too impulsive today." Dongfang Furen frowned.
Tong Huaer frowned, "Grandma, you wouldn't..."
Could it be that she found a way to get them together, and now grandma is going to back down?
"You've already said that. Of course you can't go back on your word now, but have you ever thought about what you're going to face?" Situ wei said.
Tong Huaer was stunned and lowered his head, "I know."
The burden of the Dongfangjia was not something she could bear with a single word of willingness to learn. She had ambitions, but she also had to look at the reality.
Situ wei frowned and looked at her dark side face. Her thin lips moved and she said in a relatively gentle tone, "When you really take over the Dongfang family, it's inevitable that some people will see your jokes and not necessarily wholeheartedly help you. You'd better be mentally prepared for these things."
"Yes." Tong Huaer responded.
"Also, in the future, you have to discuss these things with me first! You can't make any more rash decisions, okay?" Situ wei said.
"Ah?"
Tong Huaer paused for a moment, then returned to his senses and nodded in a daze.
Situ wei was in charge of the Dongfangjia. Now that she suddenly wanted to take over the Dongfangjia, he must have been a little caught off guard, and although it was just a change of owners, there must be a series of chain reactions to deal with.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Tong Huaer said.
"...
Situ Wei's eyes paused as he looked at her. He pursed his lips and did not speak.
He was not afraid of trouble.
He was afraid that she would be in trouble.
Even if it was him, there was no guarantee that he would be able to protect her completely.
"Okay, let's eat first." Mr. Dongfang said.
Tong Huaer looked at the two old men opposite and picked up the chopsticks.
After dinner, Situ Wei left first, feeling unwell. Tong Huaer was called to the living room by Dongfang Furen.
"You guys go out first." Mr. Dongfang said.
The maids around them immediately left. After a while, there were only the two of them left in the hall. Tong Huaer looked around and said, "Grandma, do you have something to say to me?"
"Sit down." Dongfang Furen raised his hand.
Tong Huaer walked to the sofa and sat down. Even Mr. Dorso was sent away by her grandmother. She didn't know what important things her grandmother had to tell her.
"Tell me, what's your plan?" Mr. Dongfang said.
Tong Huaer was stunned, "What's the plan?"
"Of course it's your marriage!" Dongfang Furen frowned at her and said, "Huaer, if you take over the Dongfangjia officially, Zong Beili will no longer be a burden. You will always have to live this way."
Tong Huaer was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and frowned, "Why?"
"Have you forgotten the rules of the Zongjia? Do you think Dongfangjia owners can be changed at any time? If the heir does not choose the right husband, he will officially take over the Dongfangjia, and your position will never change until the next time you replace the owner."
Mr. Dongfang said.
There were many rules in the Dongfang family. Tong Huaer had seen some of them before, but he didn't remember every one of them completely.
Tong Huaer thought for a moment, then smiled and shrugged, "It doesn't matter. He and I are already in a long-distance relationship. Even if he doesn't get married, he won't admit our relationship from the standpoint of the Dongfangjia, but... We were married before."
Before she returned to Dongfang's house, the media had already known about her marriage to Zong Beili, at least in the country.
And with zong beili's character, he wouldn't care about that.
"But I don't want you to live like this for the rest of your life!" Dongfang Furen frowned, his old face serious, "Huaer, I still hope you can choose Wei."
"Grandma, you..." Tong Huaer frowned.
She had thought that after what happened with Teacher Duosuo, grandma would be more or less open about her and Zong Beili, and her attitude towards Zong Beili had eased a little.
Tong Huaer thought Dongfang Furen would never force her to be with someone else again, but things were still the same!
"I know what you want to say." Dongfang Furen interrupted her, and Tong Huaer was stunned. The old man sighed and looked at her with a twinkle in his eyes, "Huaer, it's not that I don't allow you to be with Zong Beili, but... I want you to be happy. I've walked that way, so I know how you feel when you go back to a cold room. This is not a day or two. This is your life!"
"Although Wei is not the person you love in your heart, he can love and protect you and stay by your side. Do you understand what I mean?"
Dongfang Furen didn't force her to marry someone else, he just wanted her to choose a better life.
Tong Huaer was stunned. After a while, she smiled and said, "I understand, but grandma... If I were with him, I wouldn't be afraid of anything. If we weren't together, the best house would be an ice cellar to me."
She did not know what it was like to be in a long-distance relationship for decades, nor was she sure that zong beili would accompany her to live such a life for decades.
She could go find a man who could give her warmth now, but she didn't want to.
Although Teacher Duosuo was not usually able to speak, there was a saying that was right, "If the two love for a long time, it will be morning and evening."
If one day, her fate with Zong Beili is really broken, then let her stay alone in the cold room, she would rather, stay for the rest of her life.
"You... Oh, that's all." In the end, Dongfang Furen sighed helplessly and shook his head, "You don't look like me, nor do you look like your mother, Huaer..."
Unlike when she was young, she never had the courage to fight for family responsibilities.
She was not like her mother, viney, who used the most extreme method to force her loved one to make a choice and ended up separated by yin and yang.
"Children have their own children and grandchildren. In a while, you will be the owner of the Dongfangjia, and I can no longer tell you what to do." Dongfang Furen sighed.
The Dongfangjia family rules, the head of the family is the most powerful person in the family, even the direct line of elders can not be arbitrarily criticized.
Tong Huaer returned to his senses and smiled, "Grandma, what are you talking about? You will always be my grandma."
"Then you have to listen to my grandmother." Dongfang Furen glanced at her and said earnestly, "Huaer, I still hope you can choose Wei."
