Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Mother-Daughter Talk (2)_1

Lady Liu looked at her daughter with a hint of shock. These were the words she had wanted to say long ago, and she had mentioned them more than once to Lin Jiaxin, but his practical mindset always prevailed. Seeing Chen Zhu treating his daughter well, he believed she was overthinking. But what mother doesn't wish the best for her daughter? Yet does "best" necessarily mean marrying a high-ranking official or a wealthy businessman? She didn't think so; to her, the best was a man who cherishes his woman and always puts her first—just like Lin Jiaxin did for her. This was why Lady Liu didn't have high hopes for Chen Zhu, who was single-mindedly focused on becoming a high-ranking official.

In the past, she had thought her daughter was simply enchanted by Chen Zhu and didn't think far ahead, but now she realized, to her surprise, that after today's conversation, her girl saw things even more clearly and further into the future than she had—indeed, she had grown up.
