Married at First Sight Chapter 4407
“If you marry Yu Meng, everyone would be happy, and it would also benefit your career.”
Mrs. Xiang knew her son had been able to work with the Du Group after returning to China largely because of his connection to the Du family.
The Du Group was one of the largest conglomerates in Haicheng. Her son’s accomplishments were tied to his partnership with them.
It was far more promising than collaborating with smaller companies.
Xiang Yang responded helplessly, “Mom, I can’t just marry her because I want to. Yu Meng doesn’t love me—she only sees me as an older brother.”
“Forget Yu Meng—even my godmother isn’t pushing for me to marry her. Zhan Yiyang is excellent, and he’s a better match for Yu Meng. The Zhan family is known for its strong values, and the Du family isn’t foolish.”
“You think about what’s best for me, and I appreciate it—but don’t you think my godmother is doing the same for Yu Meng?”
“I’m just her godson. Yu Meng is her biological daughter.”
“Between a godson and a daughter, anyone would choose their own child.”
“Yu Meng likes Zhan Yiyang. Mom, please stop bringing this up. It’s not going to happen. If you keep pressing the issue, it’ll only make things awkward between me and my godmother.”
“It could also affect your relationship with her. You already lost touch with my other godmother—do you really want that to happen again?”
Mrs. Xiang was left speechless by her son’s rebuttal.
Eventually, she sighed and said, “Since you don’t have a chance, then there’s nothing more I can say. I’m not in the country, and I can’t help you.”
“Even if you came back, it wouldn’t change anything. I’m afraid you’d end up talking about this repeatedly in front of my godmother, and it would upset both her and the Du family. My godmother doesn’t control the Du family.”
The real head of the family was the Du family’s eldest wife.
The Du family was very united, and there was no way his godmother would risk conflict with the other branches just for them.
“Mom, if we can help A-Yan’s family, we should. Putting aside my feelings for her, you and her mother have been best friends for decades. Isn’t there any friendship left at all?”
“Mom, if we can help A-Yan’s family, we should. Putting aside the fact that I love her, you and her mother have been best friends for decades. Doesn’t that friendship mean anything?”
“Her family isn’t beyond saving. If we help them through this crisis, they’ll recover. When the time comes, A-Yan will take over the company. I truly believe she has what it takes to lead them back to their former glory.”
“Mom, I love A-Yan. I’ve confessed my feelings to her. During this time apart, I’ve had time to think clearly—I really do love her. Everything I did for her before was because of that love.”
“I don’t see her as just a friend or confidante. I genuinely love her. Because of that, I’ve treated her well, accepted all her flaws, and done my best to support her family through their difficulties.”
“The Du Group’s overseas branches have already extended support. So why can’t we help her family, too?”
“Mom, whether you approve or not, I will only love A-Yan in this life—and I’ll only marry her. If you and Dad strongly object, then I won’t get married at all.”
A-Yan hadn’t entered a new relationship, and her feelings for him were just as deep.
Both of them had already prepared themselves: if they couldn’t gain their elders’ approval, they’d stay together without getting married and simply live their lives that way.
Mrs. Xiang was silent on the other end of the call for a while. She finally sighed and said, “Compared to Yumeng, I actually know Yan better. Our families… well, it’s your decision.”
“It’s your marriage, and you’re the one who will live with her in the future. Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t interfere.”
“Helping her family isn’t something I can decide. I’m just a housewife—I don’t deal with business matters. It’s up to your father.”
“I’ll talk to Dad.”
Xiang Yang was overjoyed—his mother had relented.
Now, he just needed to convince his father.
That old fox had probably already realized the Du Group was backing A-Yan’s family. With their support, her family wouldn’t go bankrupt or end up drowning in debt.
