Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 23: The Su Family’s Scheme
"My eldest daughter marrying Kaize was more or less of a compromise, and she won’t be able to work in the future. As compensation, can you help our relatives find jobs? It shouldn’t be difficult, right?" Su’s father suddenly spoke up. He realized that Kaize had connections and resources, but they needed to be more proactive in seeking assistance. Negotiating the marriage now without securing future support wouldn’t be wise.
"I don’t feel like I’m compromising. I won’t need to work, and I’ll have money to spend, staying with my husband every day. What’s there to feel wronged about? Besides, even if I were wronged, it’s not up to anyone else to accept compensation on my behalf," Su Yijia immediately rejected when she saw that Xia Weiguo was considering her father’s request.
"You... Are you saying that once you get married, you want to cut ties with the family?" Su’s father was furious.
Su Yijia tilted her head and innocently looked at him, "Are you trying to take advantage of my marriage and profit from it? No matter how hard it might be for me in the future, have you ever considered what will happen when I need help from others after this?"
Su’s father never expected his usually reserved eldest daughter to become so eloquent. He tried to use emotional blackmail, and she countered with a more significant emotional card.
"Fine! If you want to put it that way, then if you have any problems in the future, just go to your husband’s comrades, uncles, and don’t come to us!" Su’s father was enraged and didn’t care about maintaining a good relationship anymore.
Xia Weiguo nodded seriously, "Yijia, in the future, no matter what happens, you can call me. Although I’m at work, I’ve made quite a few connections over the years. I’ll help you solve any problems."
Su’s father felt like his face had been slapped and swollen, but he didn’t dare to argue with Xia Weiguo.
Seeing that the discussion had come to an end, Qin’s mother said, "Since the dowry is settled, let’s talk about the wedding banquet. Since it’s two brothers and two sisters marrying into the same family, why don’t we have a combined..."
"No!" Both Xia Weiguo and Su Yijia immediately interrupted Qin’s mother, rejecting her proposal before she could finish.
"I want my wedding to be joyful and happy. I don’t want to look back and feel like it wasn’t entirely mine. Especially not when I have to share it with people I dislike," Su Yijia expressed her disdain, her gaze on them as if they were trash.
Qin Mingcheng was infuriated, and the veins on his forehead stood out. Su Yijia remembered how he used to deceive the original host with a restrained appearance of affection, and her disdain deepened. Xia Weiguo frowned and looked at the two of them. He warned in a cold tone, "I believe that adults should at least have some understanding of the situation. People who shouldn’t be together shouldn’t force themselves to be together and disgust others. Otherwise, I’ll have to make the decision to have Ze and Yijia move out."
"That’s not possible! With Kaize in his current condition, we can’t just let a young girl take care of him. I’ll never agree to that!" Qin’s father firmly rejected it.
Su Yijia didn’t defend herself either. She knew very well that not only would the Qin family not agree, but even Uncle Xia wouldn’t be at ease. She wasn’t naïve; two days of good behavior didn’t change anything. The Qin family, on the other hand, wouldn’t let anything happen to Kaize until they got their hands on his money and treasures. So, in a way, the Qin family was more reliable than her.
