Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 22

Jiang Yao's earlier announcement delighted Mrs. Lu but she started to make sense out of Lu Xingzhi's decision.

The Lu family was an intellectual family who, unlike conservative families, did not view women as the primary caretakers of children and family. As a woman, Mrs. Lu knew that nineteen was not the best age to bear a child, which was also the main reason why she sternly disagreed to their marriage in the first place. In her opinion, Jiang Yao was too young and green to start a family and to be a wife and a mother.

"At the end of the day, she gets to attend Nanjiang Medical University as she wishes to, doesn't she?" Lu Yuqing snorted sarcastically. She wasn't sure of what they had talked about in the yard. She suspected that Jiang Yao had some tricks up her sleeves despite her reserved characteristics that she managed to coax Lu Xingzhi into fulfilling her demands.

In Lu Yuqing's opinion, for as long as she knew her brother, Lu Xingzhi had always been an intelligent man that others would not have a way to outsmart him. However, all his rationality and sensibility went out the window the minute he was with a beauty.

On the other hand, the difference in his expression prior to going out and after returning was obvious. He looked uplifted and spirited.

"Yuqing, that's enough. This is your brother and his wife's own business and they've talked it through. Since they've come to this decision, we should respect it." Mr. Lu comprehended Lu Yuqing's sarcastic implications as well, so he gestured to Lu Yuqing with his eyes to shut up.

Lu Yuqing shrugged and sneered, "I know, as long as Lu Xingzhi is happy." Her voice was full of helplessness and disdain.

"Alright then, Nanjiang it is." Mrs. Lu compromised. As Mr. Lu said, it was a mutual decision they had made after their discussion. As parents, they should not interfere with the children's business and get too involved. After all, they were all grown-ups who were responsible for their own decisions and actions.
