“I know. Why are you suddenly asking about this?” Madam Shen asked curiously.
Shen Rou pursed her lips. Although she felt that the possibility was very small, she couldn’t tolerate it when she thought about it. “Mom, do you know what happened to the daughter that the Bai family lost? I heard that they have been searching for her for more than ten years but still couldn’t find her. Now, there seem to be some clues. They said that she’s in Yun Cheng.
“Did you talk to Auntie Bai about this? What did she tell you?”
“Today, she casually mentioned it to me.” Madam Shen thought for a while and then said, “But she didn’t say much. She just said that she was envious of me having two daughters, you and Xinxin. She told me that she pitied her daughter who was still suffering somewhere and wanted to find her earlier to make it up to her.
“Rourou, why are you suddenly asking this? Is there something? Did you find out something?”
“No.” Shen Rou took a deep breath. “I just suddenly thought of this and asked casually.”
“Is that so?” Madam Shen’s eyes were still filled with doubts, but she didn’t probe further. Instead, she changed the topic and said, “Rourou, how was your chat with Bai Yusheng today? Why did you come back so soon? Were you unhappy?”
What Madam Shen was more concerned about was getting Shen Rou and Bai Yusheng together.
She didn’t need to be in such a hurry.
However…
“Mom, are you trying to set me up with him?” Shen Rou thought of Bai Yusheng’s bad attitude and said coldly, “I’m not interested in men like him. You don’t have to waste your effort to set us up.”
Madam Shen’s expression changed. “Why aren’t you interested? What did he do that you don’t like?”
“In any case, you don’t have to care.” Shen Rou showed a hint of impatience. “It’s impossible between us.”
Seeing how determined she was, Madam Shen’s expression changed again. “Why is it impossible? Among those of the same generation, he’s the most outstanding and most suitable for you. Besides, the Bai family only has one son. If you marry him, you will be the only young mistress of the Bai family. You will have a good life in the future.
“Rourou, I know you’re still thinking about that rascal from the Mo Family. But, you can’t waste your youth on him. Although I also hope that you can marry into the Mo Family, you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it sweet.
“Speaking of which, the Bai Family is slightly worse than the Mo Family, but not by much. Bai Yusheng’s personal qualities are also very good among his peers. You marrying him is the best choice.
“Besides, I’ve asked Madam Bai, and she’s very satisfied with you. She has a gentle personality and won’t be the kind of mother-in-law who likes to make things difficult for others. I’m also at ease if you marry into the Bai family.”
Shen Rou said coldly, “Anyway, it’s impossible between us. Mom, don’t try to set us up in the future.”
“Rourou, are you still thinking about Mo Yesi?” Madam Shen’s expression darkened. “How long are you planning to wait for him? If he doesn’t get married, you won’t get married too? It’s fine if you can wait until something happens. But you’ve waited for so many years. Have you waited for what you want?
“A girl’s youth is only a few years away. If you wait any longer, you’ll become an old leftover!”
“So what?” Shen Rou bit her lip, and her expression turned ugly. “No matter what, I won’t marry a man I don’t like. I can make my own decisions about this. I don’t need anyone to arrange it for me.”
