Ke Yongxin remained silent. There were some things he didn't want his stepmother to know.

"Zhengjie, since they have already obtained the marriage certificate, why not let Axin bring the girl home to see first. Axin, how did you know her?" the stepmother said softly.

She always gave her husband advice at critical moments, as if she was really the lubricant between them. Strangely, Ke Zhengjie usually accepted her advice.

As expected, she saw her husband nodded and asked her son to introduce the daughter-in-law whom he had never met. After so many years, didn't Ke Zhengjie know what his wife was thinking?

"We are alumni of Shenzhen City High School and have known each other for many years. After graduating from B University, she worked as a salesperson in the Longwan Sales Office." Ke Yongxin said truthfully.

"Longwan Sales Office? Did you buy the Longwan house from her?" my father asked thoughtfully.

"Yeah." Ke Yongxin said.

"You are schoolmates, and she is thirty years old? Isn't this too old? It's a bit difficult for her to have a baby..." The stepmother looked at her husband with difficulty.

"No, she is two years younger than me." Ke Yongxin stared at his stepmother and said.

"Does she know you are the boss of Dingyuan?" asked my father.

"I haven't told her yet." Ke Yongxin said briefly.

"Did she start pursuing you when you bought the house in Longwan? Could it be that she has her eyes on that multi-million dollar property of yours?" the stepmother said with some contempt.

"I was the one who pursued her. Xiaoyu is not that kind of person. You will know it later."

"Well, don't jump to conclusions yet. She is 28 years old and still not married. She hasn't made any achievements in her career. She is not really in good condition. I want to see how she charmed you." Ke Zhengjie said, closing his eyes.

"Since she doesn't know about our family's situation yet, why don't we go to the old house to meet her and get to know her character?" Seeing that her husband was relenting, the stepmother offered her own suggestion.

As long as Ke Yongxin didn't marry into Ouyang Ke'er or other big families, his stepmother didn't care who he married. But she still wanted to test Xia Xiaoyu, and if that didn't work, she would find an excuse to turn her niece into her daughter-in-law.

Did his father just tacitly allow him to bring Xiaoyu to meet his parents-in-law? Ke Yongxin still didn't quite believe his ears. But he completely agreed with his stepmother's suggestion. He was also afraid that after Xiaoyu knew his family background, she would feel even more unworthy of him and choose to leave him.

After she successfully lost weight and regained her confidence, he would slowly tell her his feelings. After all, she had just ended a failed marriage and was deeply hurt. He didn't want to take advantage of her or become a substitute during her low period.

During this time, he will try to turn his secret love of more than ten years into love. Otherwise, he will not make this marriage a reality. What he wants is a love and marriage that goes both ways.

Although his father accepted her ordinary birth, he didn't know that she was divorced and had a baby, or her figure. He wanted to have a frank talk with his father alone.

"Dad, I have something I want to talk to you about alone," he said bluntly.

Ke Zhengjie: "......?"

"Oh, Mrs. Wang just asked me to go to the beauty salon for SPA. You and your son can chat, I'll leave first." The stepmother walked out of the living room door tactfully and went upstairs to change clothes.

The father and son came to the study. Ke Yongxin closed the door and sat on the chair opposite his father.

"Go ahead," said the father.

Ke Yongxin roughly told his father about his secret crush on Xia Xiaoyu for more than ten years, the process of buying a house in Longwan, and what happened on the day they got the marriage certificate.

"What? Ke Yongxin, I seriously suspect that you have a mental problem. It's okay that her family is ordinary, it's okay that she is divorced, but she has a child and she is so fat. Are you trying to piss me off to death?"

"Give her some compensation while she still knows nothing. Immediately, return the marriage certificate!" Ke Zhengjie said without question.

"Dad, don't get excited. Calm down and listen to me first. I will never go against your wishes. If it really doesn't work out in the end, I will listen to you and divorce her." Everything was within Ke Yongxin's expectations.

He understood his father's feelings at the moment. Which father would be calm and talk to his son calmly when he heard that his son had found a wife like this? Moreover, they were the richest family, the Ke family.

"Anyway, Xiaoyu still thinks that my marriage with her is fake, and she doesn't know my identity yet. You guys try to cooperate with me. If I don't give it a try, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"If she still can't fall in love with me in the end, I will take the initiative to file for divorce." He was afraid that his father's blood pressure would soar again, so he tried his best to calm his father's emotions.

"At first, my grandparents looked down on my mom because of her humble background and they were strongly against your relationship with my mom. You ignored their opposition and ended up being together with mom, and you even co-founded Dingyuan Company."

"My situation with your mother is different from yours now. Your mother was my first love, and she was still a virgin when she married me. She is completely different from that Xia Xiaoyu." Ke Zhengjie said.

"So I envy you and my mom so much. My brother and I are both proud to have parents like you. I admire you so much for not giving in to fame, wealth and status." He began to flatter his father. This was also what he really meant.

"My mother said that the best thing she did in her life was to marry you and give birth to us. She said that when she saw you righteously reject all of Grandpa's generous offers, she felt that you were the most attractive man in the world."

"You founded Dingyuan together, and raised my brother and me together. Dad, we are really grateful to you. I know that after my mom passed away, you hid the pain and played the role of both father and mother to raise us so well. Dad..." He choked up.

"I'm sorry to your mother. Look, your brother doesn't even want to have a girlfriend, and you..." Thinking of his wife who worked with him for many years and passed away early, Ke Zhengjie choked up.

"Dad, you've done a great job. Before I took over Dingyuan, I didn't understand how much pressure you were under. Now I understand more and more how difficult it is for you."

He stood up, walked to his father, and gently patted his father's shoulder. Seeing his gray hair, he sighed from the bottom of his heart that this man was really old.

The father and son were silent, both recalling the woman who loved them and whom they both loved.

"Mom and you worked so hard to build Dingyuan, but she left without enjoying it. Dad, do you think fame, wealth and status are really that important to people? Isn't the happiest thing to grow old together with the one you love?" Ke Yongxin said emotionally.

"You and my mother started from scratch, and now our wealth is many times better than that of my second uncle. My second uncle took over my grandfather's family business, and he also had the blessing of a family marriage."

"Dad, I know you've always wanted a daughter, so you should try to treat Xiaoyu as a daughter. We are willing to accept your assessment. She is such a good woman. And Duoduo, her two-year-old daughter, is really very cute. You will definitely like her when you see her."

"Son, I'm afraid you can't accept other people's comments. You were fat all those years and people looked down on you. Now..."

"I am becoming stronger and stronger now. Xiaoyu is the medicine for my soul. You can follow her on Weibo. She is a simple, optimistic and open-minded girl."

After the two-hour conversation between father and son, they arranged for the ugly daughter-in-law to meet her parents-in-law on the weekend at their dilapidated old house.

Of course, Xia Xiaoyu’s divorce and child-rearing were only known to her father for the time being, and she would tell others later.
