His son marrying a stepmother almost as young as his granddaughter might not sound good, but his old partner did make some sense.
His son was single, and Jiao Tao wasn't married either. While there was a big age gap between the two, Jiao Tao was willing to marry. It wasn't illegal or against moral principles, and now that they even had a child, his old partner fussing protectively over her son to the extreme, what could he do?
Since it wasn't a matter of principle, Senior Master Xie had no choice but to hold his nose and accept it for fear of his old partner crying herself into dire straits.
But why would a beautiful 23-year-old college girl marry a man in his forties?
Think it through, and the answer was clear.
Although Xie Wenhui was older and a cowardly good-for-nothing, the reputation and wealth of the Xie family stood firm.
As long as Xie Wenhui wanted to marry, there were plenty of young eligible women lining up, hoping to be chosen.
