Chapter 3 Ultimatum
I am still taking care of the online store, and I want to delay it as much as possible, or find a way to try to reason with Li Minhui.

But Li Minhui didn't give me time or let me reason, because as soon as I opened my mouth, she would interrupt me. Repeatedly, the draft I had in mind was stillborn.

I am not a good negotiator. Facing such a strong and aggressive opponent, I have no choice but to abandon my armor.

Li Minhui's tone this time was tougher than last time, and could be described as harsh words.

"Xiaoxia, don't push yourself too hard. I only accept you for Dongyang's sake. In fact, you are not the type of daughter-in-law I like. You have no family background, no conditions, and only a decent appearance. But What kind of beautiful girl can’t marry my Dongyang family? If it weren’t for Mr. Han’s sake, I wouldn’t be too polite to you with your conditions. Ask Dongyang, how did you treat those Xiao Xiang Dongyang in the past? How I did it, girl.”

I looked at her calmly, Li Minhui was aggressive and strong, maybe this was her true face, and my heart felt even colder.

Li Minhui is not tall, but she still dominates me with her strength: "To tell you the truth, you are not the only one who lives in Dongyang. In fact, one of my good old classmates, her husband is now the deputy director of the municipal government. Mayor, her daughter must have good looks and good conditions. She graduated from Fudan University and is now working in the Civil Affairs Bureau. Her conditions are more than a little better than yours."

"My old classmate also takes a fancy to Dongyang and intends to bring Dongyang and her daughter together. If Dongyang marries her, his career achievements in the future will be limitless. What good will it do to Dongyang to marry you? But because Dongyang likes you , and went to bed early with Dongyang. For the sake of Mr. Han, I have no choice but to accept you reluctantly. Don’t push yourself too far. Think about it carefully, I can do enough for you. "

I couldn't even speak. Li Minhui's words were hurtful and direct. Only a woman with a higher family background than the Zhao family could control such a mother-in-law.

Li Minhui talked for a while and said everything she needed to say before asking me: "How is it? Have you thought about it? My patience is limited." Her eyes flashed with condescension and charity towards me.

I straightened my back, took a slow sip of the cold tea, and then said, "Auntie, thank you for loving me so much, and thank you for accepting me."

"As long as you know."

"I thought that to be with Dongyang, as long as both parties have a good relationship, it would be fine. Now that I think about it, I was still too naive." I looked at Li Minhui and said, "Money and career are a man's courage, but for women, it's the same." Too."

Her eyes flashed: "Yes, money and career are also a woman's courage. In addition, there is family background. But you have nothing."

I laughed hastily: "Yes, I have nothing, and my aunt accepts me. It is really a great blessing for me."

"If you think so, that's the best thing." Her tone was light and she looked aloof.

"So, after much thought, I still feel that Dongyang cannot be too wronged." I looked at Li Minhui and gathered my courage, "Since Dongyang has a better girl waiting for him, then I am willing to help him."

Li Minhui was surprised at first, and then stunned. She looked at me for half a minute, "What did you say?"

I took a deep breath, gathered up my courage, and smiled: "Auntie, I didn't expect that I am not your ideal daughter-in-law. It is my fault that you have endured it for so long. Since there are better girls in Dongyang Wait for him, then I am willing to fulfill him."

"What do you mean?" Li Minhui raised his voice.

"Auntie, it's impossible for me to give up my career just to marry Zhao Dongyang. So, I'd better leave Dongyang and let Dongyang marry the girl that auntie likes."

"Are you blackmailing me?" Li Minhui's eyes were sharp and angry.

I shook my head: "Who am I? How dare I threaten you, aunt? That's it. I won't close my online store anyway."

I stood up, said goodbye politely, and then left.I didn't pay attention to Li Minhui's eyes that were about to stare right through me. …

The early summer wind blows on the face, which is very comfortable, and the greenery of Chengdu is very beautiful.

But I can't appreciate it.

I walked home step by step, always thinking about what to do next, and how Li Min would arrange me in front of Zhao Dongyang. He probably wouldn't say anything good about me.

I'm still thinking, where will Zhao Dongyang stand?

Maybe break up with me and marry the woman who can bring glory to his career.

I'm still thinking, how would the Han family view this matter if they knew about it?Han Yucheng was probably extremely happy.

I returned home in a daze. Zhao Dongyang's car had stopped at the gate of the community. He was looking around anxiously. When he saw me, he rushed over and asked, "What on earth did you say to my mother?"

"What did your mother say to you?" I asked indifferently.

"Don't worry about what my mother said to me. The question is, what did you say to my mother? My mother just called me and scolded me a lot... What did you say to my mother? What? Made her so angry. Didn't I tell you not to contradict her, but to obey her. Why didn't you listen? What should I do now? My mother has a prejudice against you. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to accept you, so what should I do?" He had a confused look on his face.

Instead, I calmed down and said, "Zhao Dongyang, I forgot to tell you that in the past two years and more, you have only seen my easy-going and considerate side. In fact, you must also have another side of me." Didn’t see it.”

Zhao Dongyang looked at me blankly.

"I am a traditional girl. I will be a good wife and mother who takes care of my husband and children, but the prerequisite is that I am willing." I looked at him and said every word.

"I told you just now that money and career are the courage of men and women. You want me to give up my career and marry into the Zhao family. This is impossible. Your Zhao family does not have good conditions to let me To the point of being desperate.”

"Tiantian, what's wrong with you? Are you confused?" Zhao Dongyang looked at me blankly, probably unable to accept me like this for a while.

"Why should I give up my career to marry into the Zhao family? Why should your Zhao family ask me to give up my career? I don't steal or rob or do anything illegal, so why should I give up my career? Why should I give up my career? Do I have to go against my will to please your mother? How on earth is your mother worthy of me trying to please? It’s true that I like you, but not to the point where I can humble myself for you.”

I looked at him and my voice couldn't help but get louder.

"I compromised before I married you, and there will be more compromises and the most surrender in the future."

"Also, your mother also said that she is not satisfied with me. I have no father or mother, no family background, and she accepted me because she pitied me. It took me several lifetimes to marry into the Zhao family. Gao Xiang, I want to be grateful, be content, and don’t push myself too far, I’m sorry, I can’t be grateful to you.”

Zhao Dongyang opened his mouth again and again, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only run around in circles anxiously.
