"Xiaojue, I understand what your mom wants. She wishes she could find a woman ten thousand times better than Yan Xixi, but marriage is better when it's realistic. I don't think marrying Zhou Ting would necessarily bring happiness. Besides, would the Zhou Family even agree? The kinds of issues they consider are completely different from ours..."
Huang Xiaojue replied calmly, "Dad, you're overthinking it."
"But Zhou Ting seems to genuinely have some feelings for you. Otherwise, why would she take the time to go shopping with an old lady like your mother? Even if she's well-mannered and approachable, on what grounds would she defer to your mother? Does your mother have that much charisma?"
"That's just my mom's wishful thinking."
