Chapter: 722
As he spoke, he added: "A woman like Song Wenying, even if she's from one of those top-notch families in Yanjing, would be sought after by many men because she's not only beautiful and capable, but also comes from a family with strong background and is well-versed inside and out. Not only would it give her suitor prestige, but it would also allow him to play an important role in the family and even bring back a rich dowry."
"But if you want to marry a woman from one of those top-notch families in Yanjing, that's as hard as reaching the sky. They won't look at you because they don't just see you as an individual, but also the entire Wu family's capabilities."
"In plain terms, in high society, if a woman has a comprehensive score of 70, she can marry a man with a comprehensive score of 80; but a man with a comprehensive score of 70 is hard to find a woman with the same score."
Wu Xin felt indignant and blurted out: "So what you're saying is that I'm overreaching by going after Song Wenying?"
Wu Donghai said lightly: "Although it's true you might not like hearing this, but in essence, it's the same. Song Wenying will definitely find a better man than you, but you'll have trouble finding a woman as good as her."
Wu Xin was taken aback at first and still felt a bit resentful, but after careful thought, he realized his father was right.
Song Wenying is indeed the highest-scoring woman he's ever met.
As for those noble families in Yanjing, even if they're richer than Song family, it would be hard to find someone with Song Wenying's charm and demeanor.
Wu Xin was taken aback at first and still felt a bit resentful, but after careful thought, he realized his father was right.
Moreover, even if they could look down on him, their family would not necessarily be able to look down on him.
Wu Donghai let out a sigh and said, "At home, they told me that your brother's situation is not very optimistic."
"What happened?" Wu Xin asked hastily. "Is his condition worsening?"
"No, it's not." Wu Donghai said. "It's the same as before, he needs to eat every hour, but your brother's emotional state has gotten a bit out of control. Before, when he would act out, we wouldn't let him eat and he would try to kill himself. Now, after eating, he regains consciousness and wants to kill himself, feeling that living is too painful."
Having said this, Wu Donghai let out a sigh, not knowing what kind of person his son Wu Qi had encountered to become like this.
Wu Xin gritted his teeth and said, "If I can catch the person who hurt my brother, I'll make sure they don't have a place to rest in peace!"
In fact.
Although Wu Xin says this with his mouth, deep down he is most eager for now, not to take revenge on behalf of his brother or cure him, but to quickly get Song Wenying.
As for his brother Wu Qi's condition, he doesn't really care about it.
In fact, he thought that his younger brother's current state was actually the best outcome for himself.
Because of this, he would have one less absolute competitor in the future.
If Wu Qi can't recover from this, it's impossible for him to inherit any assets from their family throughout his life. The only possible outcome is being locked up at home by the family and kept alive only.
This way, he has a chance to inherit the Wu family's assets on his own.
Wu Donghai let out another sigh and said, "Don't worry about your brother's affairs, I'll handle this one. You just focus on pursuing Song Wenying with all your might and make sure you catch her, understood?"
Wu Xin nodded hastily: "I understand, Dad!"
Wu Donghai nodded and continued: "Today, I'm hosting a banquet at Tianxiang Hall and invited some people from the Wang, Qin, Liu, Zhao, and Kong families. These are all influential families that have been deeply rooted in Jinling for many years, each with their own strengths, connections, and resources." JrNovels.com
