Love You Till the End-Chapter 800 - 798: Like I Said, I’ll Do My Best

Shi Mei ignored the reactions of the two people and glanced at another photo. It showed a girl with delicate features, well-proportioned facial traits, fair skin, and a flawless face without any moles.

Shi Keke followed his gaze, and although she wasn’t dazzled by the girl in the photo, she couldn’t find any faults with her either.

She leaned on the desk, cupping her chin in her hands, looking at Shi Mei, wanting to hear what excuse he would come up with next.

The old man picked up the teacup from the desk and took a sip, frowning as he waited for what Shi Mei would say next.

"Light eyebrows, such women are the most heartless."

Shi Mei leaned on the desk, hands stylishly tucked in his trouser pockets, his voice somewhat deep but very magnetic.

Hearing him say this, Shi Keke only then noticed that the girl in the photo did indeed have very faint eyebrows.

Women with light eyebrows are the most heartless.

She had to admit, her brother was also a scheming man...

The old man: "..."

Both his grandsons were formidable characters, capable of dismissing all the people or matters he didn’t want to accept or consider with the simplest of reasons and methods.

"Grandfather, that one on your right, her nose bridge is too high, she’ll dominate her husband."

"That one on your left, her eyes are narrow, she’s too scheming."

"That one there, her upper lip is one centimeter thicker than her lower lip, likely to gossip about others."

"That one next to it, her legs are too thick..."

"That one, her legs are too short..."

"Waist too thick..."

"Buttocks too big..."

"This woman’s breasts are too small... I don’t like flat-chested women..."

Shi Keke was stunned by his last comment about small breasts, remembering her brother as a very serious person. Although sometimes mischievous, he would never make such blunt and explicit remarks.

The old man anticipated his refusal but didn’t expect him to be so thorough, leaving no room for negotiation.

He started putting the photos back into the envelope, then issued a final ultimatum to Shi Mei: "I’ll give you one month. If you haven’t found a girlfriend by then, don’t blame me for being ruthless." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Shi Mei knew what his grandfather’s ’ruthlessness’ referred to; most people they dealt with in business often opted for marriages of convenience.

A marriage of convenience, simply put, is a marriage between a son and a daughter from two prestigious families to solidify relations and foster closer business collaborations.

Given the Shi Family’s status in Du City, many prestigious families wanted to forge marital ties with them, and several have mentioned such arrangements to the old man. However, he always considered his family’s feelings, never forcefully controlling anyone’s life other than his own.

But now, as he grew older, he had less time to wait or to waste. Thus, he had no choice but to pressure Shi Mei, urging him to take his marriage seriously.

"Does it matter who I bring back?"

Shi Mei did not want to marry, nor did he want to marry for the sake of marriage, but looking at his grandfather’s wrinkled face and his white hair, he couldn’t harden his heart.

The old man looked at him, nodding solemnly, "I don’t demand an equal match, nor do I demand that she be perfect for you. As long as you like her and think you can spend your life with her, I will accept her."

Shi Mei responded with a hum, his voice somewhat cold, "Still, I’ll do my best."

One might compromise on marriage, but not on feelings. All he could do was try his best to open his heart and let someone in.
