Chapter 1083 — Qiu Lingshan's Standards for Choosing a Husband: "Shanshan, Have You Really Got a Boyfriend?" Song Xiangwen Asked Nervously
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"What... you are already at the Great Perfection of the peak of the late Yellow Stage?" Hearing his granddaughter's words, Song Xiangwen was astounded beyond measure! He himself had yet to reach the Great Perfection of the peak of the late Yellow Stage, yet Qiu Lingshan already had?
"Grandpa, you need not doubt it. On a matter like this, I would never joke!" Qiu Lingshan said firmly.
"True... Shanshan, you never joke with Grandpa!" Song Xiangwen nodded and said with some excitement, "Shanshan, I never imagined you would become the pride of our Song family..."
"Grandpa, rest assured, I will surely work hard!" Qiu Lingshan said after a moment's hesitation. In her heart, though, she knew very well that no effort of her own could match the effect of Wei Zhao forcibly raising her!
"Mm... I know that too, but you are a girl, and in the end you must still marry. Yet with your strength, finding a scion of the noble houses even stronger than you will be difficult!" Song Xiangwen said with no small worry.
"Grandpa, I have said it before. My future husband must be stronger than me, a true man who stands tall and holds up the sky! On this point, I will absolutely never change!" Qiu Lingshan said decisively.
"This... very well, since you feel this way, I will not press you, but I will keep an eye out for you!" Song Xiangwen nodded, thinking to himself that this was also a good thing. If the man Qiu Lingshan found was even stronger than she was, that would be a good thing for the Song family as well.
"Grandpa... there is no need..." Qiu Lingshan said with a reddened face. In truth she already had someone she fancied, only her ties with him were rather tangled, and she did not yet wish to speak of it openly.
Given how dominant Wei Zhao was, Qiu Lingshan believed she could never meddle with Wei Zhao or change anything about him!
She could never make Wei Zhao abandon Tang Zhi and the others to love her alone! To Qiu Lingshan, that was an impossible thing, something she did not even dare dream of! It was good enough if Wei Zhao did not bully her, let alone her making demands of Wei Zhao?
But for the eldest granddaughter of the Song family to be someone's third or fourth woman... if word of that got out, would she not become a laughingstock? Unless, of course, Wei Zhao possessed absolute power, enough to shut those people up while turning them to envy her, Qiu Lingshan, for being able to be Wei Zhao's third or fourth woman when others wished for the place and Wei Zhao would not even have them!
Wei Zhao... can you do it? Qiu Lingshan felt a flicker of anticipation.
She was not some shameless woman without pride. That she could set aside her dignity before Wei Zhao was because that was only a matter between the two of them, like flirtation between lovers. Since no outsider could see, it did not matter what happened.
But before outsiders, that would not do. Qiu Lingshan had her pride too, and she was a strong and deeply proud woman!
To Song Xiangwen, Qiu Lingshan's words sounded like coquetry! So he chuckled and said, "It is all right, I will keep a lookout for you... and see if there are any fine young talents!"
"All right, Grandpa, let us leave it there. I need a shower. I just broke through, and my body is soaked with sweat." Qiu Lingshan did not want to go on with this topic.
"Then go, hurry. With good news, you must tell Grandpa first thing!" Song Xiangwen hung up the phone cheerfully.
He was very happy. His granddaughter was his pride! Yet, like the heads of the other great families, Song Xiangwen suffered badly from favoring sons over daughters. He believed the family estate must be inherited by a son, and must not fall into the hands of an outsider!
