Chapter 286: You are trying to reach the sky

"Absolutely not?!"

Wu Wu Donghai never dreamed that Old Master Song would refuse so decisively.

It seemed as if Old Master Song hadn't even considered it and had refused him directly!

Why?!

On what basis?!

My Wu family's strength is a notch stronger than your Song family's, and my son is the eldest son and grandson of the Wu family. To put it impolitely, he is the most outstanding young talent in the entire Jiangnan.

Many girls from big families are even throwing themselves at my son to hook up with him.

I have my eye on your Song Wanting, which is giving your Song family face!

In the end, it is your Song family climbing high to us!

You have ten thousand reasons to agree, but you shouldn't have half a reason to refuse.

But you refused me without hesitation. Why?

Why do you look down on the Wu family so much?

So, he asked with some indignation, "Uncle Song, do you think my son Wu Xin is not worthy of your Wanting?"

Old Master Song subconsciously wanted to say, "He is not worthy!"

Are you kidding me? Can your Wu family's Wu Xin compare to Master Ye Chen?

In my eyes, your precious son doesn't even count as a hair of Master Ye.

After all, your precious son doesn't have the ability to make me younger by even a month.

But Master Ye can make me younger by at least ten years!

Moreover, Master Ye has heaven-reaching means and extraordinary strength. How can your Wu family's junior compare?

However, the Wu family is a family friend of the Song family, so he couldn't speak too bluntly, otherwise, it would be too hurtful.

So he said indifferently, "Wu Donghai, don't be too excited. This kind of thing is not for me to decide. You also know that now we advocate freedom of love and freedom of marriage. Wanting's affairs depend on her own decision. It's not easy for me to make the decision."

Wu Wu Donghai shook his head and said, "Uncle Song, what kind of situation are families like ours? Don't you know? In families like ours, whether boys or girls, where is there any talk of freedom of love or freedom of marriage? Don't they all have to follow the family's arrangements? If you agree, Uncle Song, I believe Wanting shouldn't disobey your wishes."

Families like theirs always pay attention to being well-matched in social status and intermarriage.

He originally thought that as long as he proposed letting Song Wanting marry Wu Xin, Old Master Song would agree happily. After all, in terms of strength, the Wu family was still above the Song family, so Song Wanting marrying in would be considered climbing high.

And Song Wanting was at the right age, and had even almost passed the best marriage age.

In these top big families, girls were often already engaged by the age of twenty.

And most of them got married at twenty-two or twenty-three, as soon as they graduated from university.

So Wu Wu Donghai hoped that Old Master Song could directly mention this matter to Song Wanting, or even directly require her to accept this marriage.

Girls in big families mostly had the awareness of family-arranged marriages. As long as the elders of the family arranged it, the younger generation would naturally obey.

Old Master Song didn't expect that he had politely refused Wu Wu Donghai, but Wu Wu Donghai didn't know how to retreat in the face of difficulties.

So he could only laugh and wave his hand, "Actually, to tell you the truth, Wanting is still young, and I don't want to marry her off for the time being. After all, her brother hasn't even married yet."

Wu Wu Donghai blurted out, "Boys can wait a bit more, but girls can't! Getting married at twenty-four or twenty-five is the best age. If you wait until thirty to get married, your own value will be greatly reduced!"

Old Master Song smiled indifferently, "In front of someone who truly likes her, twenty-four or twenty-five, thirty, or even forty or fifty makes no difference. But in front of someone who doesn't like her, twenty-four or twenty-five might change drastically compared to twenty-six or twenty-seven. So, I would rather my granddaughter marry the former than the latter."

Wu Xin on the side hurriedly said, "Grandpa Song, if you are willing to marry Wanting to me, I will always be loyal to her and treat her like my first love forever!"

Old Master Song nodded and said, "I believe you will, but this matter still depends on Wanting's meaning, not me."

Wu Wu Donghai felt a bit unhappy in his heart.

I said so much, you kept refusing, my son even made a promise, and you are still refusing. What do you mean? Looking down on my Wu family?

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Uncle Song, I dare to ask, since this person can make you look down on even the Wu family, then he must be a descendant of a big family in Yan Jing, right?"

Old Master Song shook his head and said, "No... that young man is just an ordinary person, not a descendant of any family at all. I even heard that he is an orphan and entered an orphanage at the age of eight."

Wu Wu Donghai was a bit angry when he heard this and blurted out, "An orphan without even a father or mother—where can he be better than Wu Xin, and where can he make you look at him differently, Uncle Song?"

Old Master Song laughed and said, "Between people, sometimes you can't just compare wealth, family, and background. Sometimes you also have to compare connotation and other abilities."

Wu Wu Donghai frowned and asked, "Uncle Song, do you think our Wu Xin has no connotation?"

"Of course not," Old Master Song said with a smile, "I mean, between people, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, Young Master Wu is very good in every way, but he just doesn't know how to play basketball, while someone else might not be good in any way, but just happens to be very good at basketball. And a girl just happens to be attracted by the latter's basketball skills. This cannot be said that the latter is stronger than Young Master Wu, only that the latter is more attractive to this girl than Young Master Wu."

At this time, Old Master Song's inner monologue was: "Wu Wu Donghai, where do you get so much nonsense? I said so much, not only are you not sensible and retreat in the face of difficulties, but you are still licking your face and continuing to babble with me. Do you have to make me point out to your face that your son is a piece of shit in my eyes before you are satisfied?" ===== CHAPTER 287 =====

Old Master Song shook his head and said, "No... that young man is just an ordinary person. He is not from any family at all. I even heard that he is an orphan who has been in an orphanage since he was eight."

As soon as Wu Wu Donghai heard this, he immediately felt indignant and blurted out, "An orphan without even a father or mother—how can he be better than Wu Xin? How can he make you, Uncle Song, look at him differently?"

Old Master Song laughed and said, "Between people, sometimes you cannot just compare wealth, family, or background. Sometimes, you also have to compare character and other abilities."

Wu Wu Donghai frowned and asked, "Uncle Song, do you think our Wu Xin lacks character?"

"Of course not," Old Master Song said with a smile. "I mean that people always have their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, Young Master Wu is excellent in every way, but he just doesn't know how to play basketball. Another person might be lacking in many ways, but happens to be very good at basketball. If a girl is attracted to the latter's basketball skills, it doesn't mean the latter is stronger than Young Master Wu; it only means the latter is more capable of attracting this girl than Young Master Wu."

At this moment, Old Master Song's inner monologue was: "Wu Wu Donghai, where do you get so much nonsense? I've said so much, yet not only do you not take the hint and retreat in the face of difficulty, but you actually have the nerve to continue pestering me. Do you really need me to point it out to your face that your son is nothing but a piece of shit in my eyes for you to be satisfied?"
