"Eldest Aunt, about my marriage—even if Xiao Nian doesn't get a say, surely I can say a few words myself! Thank you for your kind intentions, but please, don't trouble yourself over my marriage."
As the eldest son, Shen Xiangdong naturally considered things more thoroughly.
Guo Chunxiang was clearly trying to use her status as the eldest sister-in-law to pressure their parents. If they rejected her "kind offer," she would likely go back and find more ways to ruin Miao Cuifen's reputation.
But it was different coming from him. For one, he was the person directly involved. For another, he was from the younger generation. Even if Guo Chunxiang slandered him a little, it was better than his mother, Miao Cuifen, being the one whose name was dragged through the mud.
Therefore, the rejection was much better coming from him than from Miao Cuifen.
However, the depths of Guo Chunxiang's shamelessness still exceeded their imagination.
