Bab 554: Understanding

When Su Li spoke, he did so with a sense of immense pride. He was proud of his wonderful mother, and he voiced this pride loudly, a hint of boastfulness in his tone.

However, his words inadvertently slapped Hu Bing in the face. Hu Bing had come with a purpose - to play matchmaker for his cousin. His cousin had no intention of giving up on Su Shen, a good man.

This meant that Hu Bing intended to disrupt the relationship between Su Shen and a woman named Gu Zi. After all, Hu Jie was his cousin, and he naturally sided with her. He didn't mind disrupting someone else's marriage for her sake.

Before this visit, Hu Bing knew that Su Shen had been married twice, both times arranged, with no emotional foundation. He assumed that Su Shen's wives were simple country girls, unfit for the stage, and unworthy of Su Shen. Compared to Hu Jie, a descendant of a soldier, they had no chance of winning. So, he didn't take them seriously.
