Chapter 918: Chapter 918: She Regretted Agreeing to Li Shengxiao’s Request

“Who exactly are you talking about? Your half-finished sentences are making me dizzy,” Lin Teng said, confused and pressing her for more information.

Su Yi hesitated to speak ill of Rong Yan, but Su Xiansui had no such reservations and interjected, “Let me explain, Uncle. The issue is simple.”

“The girl Cousin is dating comes from a rather complicated family background. Not only is her family in disarray, but she also severed ties with them early on. She herself is an actress, newly risen in the entertainment industry. A girl who was fostered in her home is also an actress, and the two of them have frequently made news for various reasons. All this scandal has tarnished their reputations, which is what Auntie is worried about too. She thinks this girl is not suitable for Cousin, both because of her family situation and her career.”

Su Xiansui was much more direct, “Aunt originally thought as long as Cousin liked her, it was fine, even if the girl’s family wasn’t well-off. As long as she had a respectable job, respectable work, and a good personality, it would be okay. But it turns out she’s an actress. Uncle, you know our kind of family fears getting involved with celebrities the most! Celebrities are too exposed, their entire lives under public scrutiny. Aunt is concerned Cousin might be negatively influenced.”

Lin Teng hadn’t expected this at all, finding it far more surprising than he had imagined. He looked at Su Yi as if seeking her opinion.

Su Yi gave him an affirmative look and said, “That girl’s situation is even more complicated than what Xiansui described. In any case, I don’t think she’s particularly suitable for him.”

Rong Yan’s personality also wasn’t suitable for Shengxiao. She hoped Shengxiao would find a gentle girl, someone more capable of taking care of a person who would neglect everything once immersed in work.

Lin Teng, though taken aback, remained calmer, “Maybe the girl isn’t as bad as we think. Let’s meet her before deciding.”

“That’s exactly the problem,” Su Yi said with a look of helplessness. “I thought he was dating an ordinary girl. I told him to bring her tonight to meet the elders of the family. Just think, this girl’s background is so unexpected. If things don’t work out between them later, then introducing her into our circle now could become a dark mark on Shengxiao’s record.”

Introducing her would imply Su Yi approved of Rong Yan. Given Rong Yan’s complex situation, Su Yi simply couldn’t approve. Not to mention personally introducing her to her acquaintances—it was too unexpected.

“I initially thought even if Shengxiao were to choose, he wouldn’t pick such a complicated girl. Just like you, I didn’t wish to repeat the tragic history of dad and Zhiya. Yet in a moment of impulse, I’ve created this awkward situation I can’t escape.”

Wasn’t it an inescapable dilemma?

She had already promised Shengxiao to introduce the girl into their circle, and now she regretted it, unable to explain herself to Shengxiao.

But the thought of introducing her to the circle, knowing Rong Yan’s identity would likely be scorned by others, was something Su Yi herself couldn’t approve of in a girl.

Her greatest worry was that, after introducing her, a breakup would mean that everyone would remember there once was such a person in his life. When talking about Shengxiao in the future, today’s events would inevitably come up.

Her concerns weren’t unfounded. Lin Teng’s lips tightened as he looked over the esteemed guests, took a deep breath, and said, “Don’t worry, let’s wait until Shengxiao brings her before we decide.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than a commotion arose at the door—the person they were discussing had arrived!
