CHAPTER FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY: MEIGEN'S IDEA
Looking at her mother's expression, Meigen knew that she had to speak up today. However, she really wasn't interested in any of the candidates from Tianshui City. This put her in a difficult position.
At that moment, a figure slowly appeared in her mind, becoming clearer by the second. A gentle smile, a well-fitted robe she had never seen before, and relaxed conversation—all these elements combined to form one person, Zhao Hai!
Thinking of Zhao Hai made Meigen's face flush, but when she remembered his current situation, her face turned pale. However, Meigen had become much stronger than before. In the past, she would be at a loss whenever faced with a problem, but after the recent attack, she had learned to think things through.
Without a doubt, she cared about Zhao Hai. So when her mother mentioned Zhao Hai's situation, she became anxious. Now her mind was constantly stirred by two matters: one was Zhao Hai, and the other was her marriage.
However, when Zhao Hai's figure appeared in her mind, the two issues seemed to merge into one in a short time. It was as if Meigen had suddenly seen the light, and she combined the two matters in her head.
Seeing that Meigen had been silent for a long time, and her expression kept changing, her mother felt it was very strange and looked at Meigen in confusion, saying, "Meigen, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Meigen turned to her mother and asked, "Mom, how can Dad save Mr. Zhao Hai? Can you tell me?"
Her mother glanced at Meigen and replied, "Meigen, you don't need to worry about this. It's not something you can handle. Why don't you talk about your own matters instead?"
Meigen looked at her mother and said, "Mom, if I marry Mr. Zhao Hai, won't Dad be able to save him?"
Meigen's question was quite sudden. Her mother initially brought up Zhao Hai's situation just to gauge Meigen's reaction and see if she had feelings for Zhao Hai. If Meigen did have feelings, she would slowly tell her more about Zhao Hai's situation in the coming days and try to persuade Meigen to marry him. If Meigen agreed, things would be much easier.
Her mother had never expected Meigen would say such a thing, as there were too many factors involved, and she didn't think Meigen would come to this conclusion.
Now that Meigen had said that, her mother was momentarily stunned, then quickly realized that her daughter’s feelings for Zhao Hai went beyond mere fondness; it seemed she was already deeply infatuated.
Seeing her mother was silent, Meigen thought this wasn't working and hurriedly added, "Mom, if I marry Mr. Zhao Hai, then he would become part of our family, right? Our family wouldn’t send people to kill him anymore, would they?"
Her mother came back to her senses, looked at Meigen, and sighed, "Meigen, have you thought this through? If you really do this, you will have to marry Zhao Hai together with Laura and Meg."
Meigen's face turned red, but she still firmly nodded and said, "Yes, Mom, I've decided. I want to marry Mr. Zhao Hai, not just because I have feelings for him, but also because of the Karlqi Family."
Her mother was taken aback and looked at Meigen with shock, asking, "Meigen, why do you say that?"
Meigen responded, "Mom, even though I don't manage the family, I know about the recent situation in the family. Mr. Zhao Hai has ability and strength. If he really becomes part of our family, it would greatly help us. I know our family has a tradition of not allowing girls to marry out, but Mom, I really have feelings for Mr. Zhao Hai, and now the family is even planning to use a ninth-level expert. It might not be easy for Dad to save him. But if I marry Mr. Zhao Hai, then he would be one of us, and Dad would have a reason to ask for his help, wouldn't he?"
Her mother stared blankly at Meigen; she truly hadn’t expected her to say such things. She hugged Meigen tightly and gently said, "My little girl has grown up. Meigen, is what you said true? Do you really have feelings for Zhao Hai? If not, your father and I wouldn't agree to let you marry him."
