1900 Jian An 3 (2/2)

”Furthermore…” the woman paused and continued, ”if I haven't done anything wrong, why would your father think of killing me? An'er, you have to remember that men are kings in the world. If you were to marry, you have to be obedient. Follow what your husband says and if he hits you, you must've done something wrong. Therefore, you can never retaliate, do you understand?”

Jian An smiled bitterly. She had heard these words numerous times. After every few months, her mother would repeat this, seemingly afraid that she wouldn't listen to her husband in the future when she got married.

The woman patiently persuaded. ”You have to remember what I've told you! If your personality is stubborn, men won't like it and they will divorce you. At that time, you'll be insulted and criticized by everyone. Your father can't bear to lose this face.”

In her point of view, when a couple divorced, the problem must have been with the woman! Otherwise, why would others divorce you for no cause or reason?

Jian An understood her mother's personality and no longer said anything, only answering her. ”Mother, I understand. I will listen to father's words.”

Jian An said that Ji Jiutian would return in a few days, but… she knew that Ji Jiutian would never listen to the Jian Family's arrangements.

Hearing her question, Qi Su scratched his head. ”I'm not sure. It was several years ago when I previously encountered Jian An. I had met with some trouble and she helped me! At that time, Jian An was only twelve or thirteen, a naive and innocent age. However, people change and I don't really understand her current personality.”
