A clever girl. She was liking Zhao Nuanyue more and more.
Mrs. Li smiled smugly. "You're right. I certainly wouldn't have given you a second glance, especially not knowing you. But you have such a 'good' grandmother, and a 'good' stepfather. When they were denouncing all your supposed misdeeds, I realized you were a girl with a mind of her own and a strong sense of independence. My son is what he is, I won't deny it. If he were to marry a woman of average intelligence, our future grandchildren would be mediocre, perhaps even fools. That's why I need an exceptional girl to marry my son and bear him healthy, intelligent children. That is the only way for our Li family to carry on."
Though Zhao Nuanyue appeared calm as she listened to Mrs. Li, a tempest raged within her!
'I don't just have to marry that fool, I have to bear his children. Is there anything more hopeless, more disgusting than this?!'
