I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 238
Mindy glared at Jon.
She thought to herself, ‘You talk too much.’
So what if David could go on to become a postgraduate student and then obtain a Ph.D. at South River University?
His family and the environment in which he grew up already determined his future achievements, and he would never be able to reach Mindy’s standards.
The best way to handle this would be to make David take the initiative to leave Celia.
“Celia, since David came to Capital City to have an academic exchange at Greenwood, I won’t care if you meet at school, but I won’t allow you to go out alone with him, do you hear me?” Mindy said.
“Why?” Celia asked.
“You’re a girl! How is it proper to do this? Do you still have any shame?”
“Mom, what are you saying?” Celia said blushing.
“What am I saying? What do you think I’m saying after you two lived together for more than a year? Listen, you could do anything you wanted back when we were not around, but don’t even think about it now. I will keep an eye on you.”
“I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I’m going upstairs to sleep.” Celia went upstairs with blushing cheeks.
After Celia went upstairs, Mindy directed her anger at Jon again.
“Jon, what was the meaning of that?”
“What did I do?” Jon asked innocently.
“What did you do? Are you starting to like David? Do you want to bring them together?”
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with David, his family conditions are a little bit poor, that’s all. As long as he knows how to improve himself and graduates from a prestigious university, Celia will definitely not suffer in the future.”
“You… You’re trying to piss me off too, aren’t you? How is David worthy of my daughter? He’s just a hillbilly from a poor and remote place!”
“Darling, you have to think like this, if Celia marries that Joshua person just as you asked, can you guarantee that he will always treat Celia well? The Houstons have so many rules, so what i f they bully Celia? Do you think you can go and stand up for her?”
“I… Why not? And what you said won’t happen, didn’t you see how Joshua looked at Celia? How could he bully Celia?”
“You don’t understand men. The easier it is to get something, the less he will appreciate it. Joshua came from a big family and he’s obviously a playboy. He’ll definitely treat Celia well at first, but as time goes by, he’ll start having other intentions. When the time comes, our daughter will suffer. Plus, it’s normal for the sons of a big family to have three or four wivest o ensure that they can carry on the family name. They will not worry about how Celia feels.”
“Tell me, what are the benefits of marrying David then? If you can convince me now, I won’t oppose them being together.”
“I think we can make David our live-in son-in-law. We only have one daughter, so we’ll be worried no matter who she marries. Plus, if Celia is married, think about how lonely we’ll be. What will happen if we grow old? It’s good that Celia is so close to David. Just let them marry each other and stay with us. That way, we can see her every day and David won’t dare to bully her either. When we’re old, we can retire and play with our grandchildren too,” Jon said.
This was what Jon came up with after thinking it through.
Mindy had been running around out there for the past few years and she still had the impression that Celia was still the good girl.
However, Jon had been staying with Celia this whole time and he knew how she really was. Even though she looked soft, it was hard to change her mind once she had decided on something
If they forced her to break up with David, there would be serious consequences.
He only had one daughter and he did not want to risk this.
Hence, he kept thinking about how to convince his wife and not his daughter.
Mindy was speechless at that moment.
She admitted that her husband had convinced her.
Right now, she was debating in her heart.
On one hand, she hoped that her excellent daughter would marry someone even more excellent. That way, she would enjoy an improved reputation in the world.
Furthermore, she could show off in front of her business partners, friends, and even classmates.
