Eighties Sweetheart Wife-Chapter 645: Bullying by Power?

Qin Suyun looked at her sister-in-law speechlessly.

She used to think she was quite smart, but what on earth was she saying now?

Little Nuan held a special position in the Song family, her words were almost as influential as the saying goes.

As for Shu Xiang’s elder sister, she was the deputy manager at Zhilan Garment Factory.

Even though she was a deputy manager, indirectly, Little Nuan was also Shu Xiang’s elder sister’s superior.

Do you want Little Nuan to use her power to overpower others?

No matter whether they agree or not, this has a hint of bullying.

Besides, business is business, and personal matters are personal. If you are sincere, wouldn’t it be better to find an opportunity to visit the Shu family?

A deal might not succeed, but benevolence remains; what more when it concerns a matter of your children’s marriage prospects?

Wouldn’t it be more sincere for you to go in person?

Considering Shu Xiang’s mom’s clever character, she would definitely not slight your dignity.

And aren’t you supposed to return something to them anyway? Don’t insist on an equivalent exchange; just buy some nice gifts instead.

A bit more expensive ones. If you don’t want to spend the money, there are plenty at home.

After interacting with your daughter, who is spoiled and willful, regardless of whether Shu Xiang has any issues, that is something for Mother Shu to worry about. You should apologize on your daughter’s behalf; to tell you the truth, that’s not called bowing your head. Honestly, given our family’s current situation, doing such a thing, really isn’t about bowing your head.

Ask a little, talk a little, even if you can’t be in-laws, you should not become enemies.

After much thought, Qin Suyun still said this to Wang Mengdan.

Wang Mengdan’s face changed repeatedly.

These words... indeed make sense, but they also made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Wang Mengdan, "Elder sister, I understand what you’re saying, but that’s not the point. You are doing well now, Huai’an is doing well, and your future daughter-in-law also brings honor to you.

But I don’t compare them. Huai’an and Huaiming are different people. When they were two years apart, Huaiming couldn’t even do simple addition and subtraction when Huai’an had already graduated from elementary school. How can these two be compared?

I have never compared these two kids; it would be unfair to my son.

And our father has also reminded us many times about this; I have always kept it in mind."

Qin Suyun didn’t understand what Wang Mengdan was trying to express, but she listened patiently nonetheless.

Huaiming is now doing quite normally and doesn’t suffer from any inferiority complex or feel any less than his cousin.

So what Wang Mengdan said was true.

"...Elder sister, I’m not talking about the brothers and how they get along; they are good to each other.

Even though Huai’an holds a high position, he’s never acted superior in front of Huaiming.

And Huaiming doesn’t feel inferior in Huai’an’s presence; the brothers get along best this way.

But this is within the family, anything goes, once outsiders are involved, it’s different.

Elder sister, don’t say I’m making a fuss. Before you met Song Yunuan, you also thought she wasn’t good enough for Huai’an. Didn’t that make you feel uncomfortable in every way?

Back then, you even thought Qian Anna was perfect in every aspect. Tell me, if you were in my shoes, what would you do?"

Qin Suyun felt she had a lump in her throat that she couldn’t swallow or spit out.

This person was becoming more and more unreasonable.

Sisters-in-law have known each other for so many years and understand what kind of personalities they each have.

Now, after the struggles, the Gu family has finally found peace, and she couldn’t afford to create conflicts with her.

And there was no need to.

Qin Suyun’s smile seemed to hold a touch of mockery, "It seems you’re putting me on the spot now, but you are right. When I first heard of Song Yunuan, all I knew was that she was from the countryside and her academic performance was average. Beyond that, I knew nothing.

I could have secretly investigated, but I didn’t do that because Huai’an wouldn’t allow it.

I have great respect for Huai’an’s wishes in this regard. If he told me not to ask, then I didn’t ask. If he said not to inquire, then I didn’t inquire. I completely respected his opinion.

Speaking of which, had the Qian family not run into trouble, Qian Anna was the most outstanding among the batch of interns in the same group. That point is indisputable.

But that’s all there is to it.

Mengdan, we sisters-in-law have always lived together. When have you ever seen me call Anna over to create opportunities for the two when Huai’an came back?

I never did that.

All I did was keep my opinions and thoughts to myself.

Even when Secretary Fan mentioned how excellent Song Yunuan was, my attitude remained the same. It’s important to me not to interfere with my son’s choices or impose my views on him.

Even after I fully understood Little Nuan, I still didn’t share my opinions and thoughts with Huai’an.

If you’re talking about putting yourself in others’ shoes, let me tell you, even if I’m not satisfied with Shu Xiang, I won’t voice my opinions and thoughts, because they would certainly influence my family members.

What’s more, the child didn’t ask for my opinion. He thinks everything is fine, and me saying something would only add to his troubles."

Wang Mengdan looked troubled, but she still said, "Yet as mothers, is it too indifferent, too irresponsible of us to act this way?"

"It’s not indifference, nor a lack of responsibility. From my perspective, it’s a form of respect.

Who hasn’t been young? In the most beautiful years, one should love passionately."

"What you’re saying isn’t quite right either. What if the other person isn’t a good match, and the child is being deceived?"

"What do you think the consequences of forcibly separating lovers are? Isn’t it your current state? Look at yourself... regretting that you shouldn’t have meddled too much. Does that contradict what I just said?

Mengdan, you have to admit that what Jiaojiao said was actually what you wanted to say; you just used Jiaojiao’s mouth to say it."

This time, Qin Suyun didn’t hold back and calmly spoke the truth to her, trying to be helpful, but she still turned it around, pointing the finger at her.

Seeing Wang Mengdan’s face grow even more uneasy, Qin Suyun softened her voice and said, "I understand how you feel. You’re not an outsider, and there’s no need for me to beat around the bush with officialese. Let’s be frank, this matter can’t involve Little Nuan because public and private matters should remain separate.

Nor can you go over Huaiming’s head and make decisions on your own. Do you know what Huaiming is thinking right now?

If you truly care about him, you should have a proper talk with him, see what he really wants.

Besides, if you really want the two to rekindle their past relationship, you must make sure Shu Xiang harbors no grudges against Jiaojiao; otherwise, it remains a hidden ticking time bomb."

After saying all this, Qin Suyun patted her shoulder and added, "Huai’an and Little Nuan’s housing allocation has been decided. They got the house Old Mr. Xie used to live in, but there are quite a few people eyeing it, full of dissatisfaction. I need to go and suggest to the office that we publicize the achievements of these two, to show those envious people who should really be living in such a house."

Song Yunuan looked at the notice posted on the public announcement board of the compound.

This time it signified a major shakeup in the compound.

Many who exploited the system were cleared out, and houses were allocated to those who were waiting.

There were standards to reference, and decisions were made after several meetings.

How to put it? Those who had taken more than their share were unhappy, while those who had truly contributed and were always hardworking rejoiced.
