After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family

Chapter 157

Lang Zhe finished speaking and immediately put on a deep, affectionate expression as he looked at Sun Man.

He had always known what Sun Man wanted the most.

Sun Man had grown up without a father, living with her mother at her grandfather's house. Her grandfather's family was patriarchal, and her mother was a classic "sister who supports her brother." It was easy to imagine the kind of unloving environment she had grown up in, bound by her original family, wanting to escape but feeling morally constrained, always feeling powerless.

When she was dating Lang Zhe, she had mentioned that she didn't need to marry a wealthy man; she just wanted a warm home and someone who truly loved and respected her to be by her side. She also wanted children and would treat her children well, hoping to fill her home with laughter and joy.

In fact, Sun Man had said this with great courage, hinting to Lang Zhe that she was different from other actresses; she was willing to get married early because all she wanted was to be an actress, not a star, and her purpose in acting was not to make money.

But Lang Zhe avoided this topic. He had dated Sun Man because she was a completely naive girl in matters of love. Even if she discovered his secrets, she wouldn't expose him, making her relatively safe. Plus, she was willing to obediently spend money on him. Although he liked Sun Man, he didn't want to settle down so early.

Unexpectedly, Sun Man broke up with him as soon as she found out he was gambling.

At first, Lang Zhe was quite disdainful, thinking that Sun Man was only interested in money and that her talk of truly loving him and wanting to build a home with him was just empty words.

But when he found himself at a dead end, he realized that only Sun Man would be soft-hearted enough to help him.

So he decided to give Sun Man something she couldn't refuse. This naive girl would surely return to his side.

Moreover, Sun Man had a strong sense of family. Even if she discovered the truth after marriage, she would diligently help him repay his debts. To put it bluntly, she was the kind of person who was destined to be hardworking.

Confidently thinking this, Lang Zhe reached out to take Sun Man's hand and put a ring on it.

But the next second, Sun Man suddenly pulled her hand back.

Lang Zhe almost stumbled and looked up in surprise to see Sun Man frowning at him. Her usually sweet face was now gradually filled with anger.

The surrounding people were awkwardly silent because of that moment.

Ji Fei was desperately pinching her thigh to keep from laughing out loud in the quiet hall.

Turning her head, she saw Qin Zhao and Qin Rong also pinching their thighs, while Pei Mingxuan raised an eyebrow, suddenly very interested.

The live stream's chat was momentarily chaotic.

"What's going on?"

"Was Lang Zhe rejected?"

"Given the atmosphere the host created, I thought everything was going smoothly."

"Maybe she's just shy or wants to say something more?"

The netizens were completely confused.

The next second, they heard Sun Man say, "What are you doing? I thought we made it clear; we've broken up."

Lang Zhe's face changed, and his smile became very stiff and forced. "Man Man, are you still angry with me? Didn't you understand what I just said?"

"I understood, but it has nothing to do with me. We've broken up," Sun Man said firmly.

Lang Zhe looked at Sun Man in disbelief. He thought he understood girls very well, but Sun Man's reaction completely shattered his fantasies.

"You... you don't want a home? I'm willing to give you one..."

"You're willing to give, but I don't want it," Sun Man said indifferently.

[Pfft, she wants a home, and you're offering her a dilapidated building.]

Qin Zhao and Qin Rong continued to stifle their laughter.

[Lang Zhe thinks he's got a handle on young girls' psychology, but he doesn't realize that a smart, unloved girl, once awakened, will use her sensitivity and timidity to form the strongest defense mechanism, firmly staying away from anything harmful. That's why she could rebel against Uncle Sun and Mother Sun.]

Qin Zhao and Qin Rong understood and also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Sun Man was firm enough not to be deceived by a man's false affection.

Lang Zhe, probably hit hard by Sun Man's repeated rejections, was momentarily at a loss for words.

After all, when they broke up, he had begged Sun Man not to expose his gambling, and she had agreed. Even when the tabloids spread rumors that she broke up because she was cheating with a male actor in the same drama, she didn't use his secret to clear her name.

Such a foolish woman should be easy to trick!

Why was it like this?

At this moment, the two people who had been circling around Sun Man jumped out.

Mother Sun, with her triangular eyes and harsh appearance, said, "Sun Man, when we didn't allow you to date him, you argued with us for him. Now that he's proposing, you refuse. Are you still sulking? If you lose such a good partner because of your temper, you'll regret it."

Uncle Sun, with his plump body, also huffed forward and said, "Sun Man, it's okay to quarrel with your man occasionally, but don't embarrass him in front of so many people. Little Lang is so sincere; if you make a scene now, you're too immature."

Sun Man seemed to finally realize something and looked at them in disbelief. "You want me to marry him? Why?"

They had never said they wanted her to marry a wealthy man or a member of a prestigious family. Lang Zhe didn't fit that description.

The two exchanged uneasy glances. Mother Sun said, "Of course, we're doing it for your happiness. You're already this old; as elders, we just want to see you happy, nothing else matters."

Uncle Sun also tried to put on a kind smile and said, "Little Lang is sincere to you; we trust him with you."

Sun Man stared at them as if she didn't know them. These days, they had been in a cold war because she kept defying them. This sudden show of concern left Sun Man at a loss.

Rarely treated so kindly by her close relatives, Sun Man's eyes wavered slightly, and her expression softened a bit, but her decision didn't change. "I... I'm not suitable for him."

With that, she tried to leave, but was stopped by Mother Sun and Uncle Sun on either side.

"Daughter, think about it again."

"We all think Little Lang is good; we support you two being together."

Ji Fei and the others watched this drama in stunned silence.

Pei Mingxuan directly said, "If they knew their cash cow lost ten million, would they still be so helpful? I don't think they're the kind of people who genuinely want Sun Man to be happy."

"Their words are really uncomfortable," Qin Rong also said.

Qin Zhao sneered, "Concern is fake; subconsciously looking down on Sun Man is real."

Ji Fei inwardly sneered.

[Selfish people naturally focus on interests. It's just that the money-making tool has started to rebel, wanting to regain financial control, and they feel they can't control Sun Man anymore. Just then, Lang Zhe came to them, promising that if they could get married, he wouldn't ask for a dowry and would give them a lot of betrothal gifts. He also promised to persuade Sun Man to reconcile with them and become the obedient, filial girl she used to be.]
