Chapter 1297
Zhu Yanyi coughed lightly. "Alright, I want to talk about my sister now. Let’s pause on my own matters for a moment." She steered the conversation back.
Yan Aohan nodded, looking at Zhu Yanyi seriously. "Go ahead. I’m listening."
Zhu Yanyi shot her a glare. "I just said, in our past life, our family was very ordinary. I didn’t receive the Azure Sovereign Qingdi’s inheritance, so I never became a doctor.
My dad didn’t found the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Group, so he wouldn’t have today’s achievements.
My mom didn’t open an original sewing shop, nor did she practice calligraphy. She was just an ordinary farm woman.
And my sister didn’t even get into university. She dropped out after middle school because she didn’t want to study anymore. She went to work at an optical instrument factory.
Later, because she was bullied, she left. She joined the food factory of my godfather in this life and became a delivery driver.
Oh, in the past life, we didn’t recognize a godfather either.
My sister later met my brother-in-law. He was six years older than her. My dad and mom actually disagreed with them dating because of that age gap."
After speaking, Zhu Yanyi glanced at Yan Aohan. In the past life, her parents had hesitated for several months before agreeing because her brother-in-law was six years older. Now, Yan Aohan was twelve years older than her.
Yan Aohan understood her implication from her expression. He swallowed hard, looking distressed. "Ani, does Uncle Shun Yao really care so much about the groom’s age?"
Zhu Yanyi shook her head. "I don’t know. But in the past life, Dad minded it a lot. I don’t know about this life."
Whether in the past or present life, Zhu Shun Yao’s living conditions had changed, but his love for his daughter remained unchanged. So, Zhu Yanyi wasn’t sure if her father wouldn’t mind this point.
Yan Aohan pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up. "I almost forgot. Taishu Yuanxiang is thirty-one this year, nine years older than your sister. Since this matter has come up, Taishu Yuanxiang should meet your dad and mom first.
I can observe from the shadows to see how he handles the situation. Then, I can learn from him to handle my own situation later."
As he said this, Yan Aohan couldn’t help but praise himself internally. He was truly smart to think of this.
Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan with a half-smile. "You’re really something. You even want someone else to test the waters first. Is it okay to scheme against Taishu Yuanxiang like this?"
"For our happiness, scheming against Taishu Yuanxiang is acceptable," Yan Aohan said, not feeling any shame in such calculation.
Zhu Yanyi coughed beside her. "Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. You said my sister and my past-life brother-in-law probably don’t have that fate in this life. So, do you think my nephew will still be reborn into my sister’s womb?"
Yan Aohan realized Zhu Yanyi was concerned about her nephew.
Of course, Zhu Yanyi had feelings for her past-life brother-in-law, but that couldn’t compare to the nephew she had raised since childhood. She replied:
"I don’t know how to say it exactly. Let me put it this way." Yan Aohan continued seriously. "A person’s fate isn’t fixed. It’s indeed sad that your sister lost her husband in middle age in the past life, but she had a satisfactory son. That was enough. At least in the past life, she was quite content with her life, even if only memories remained in the end. So, her life in the past was actually complete.
This life is her new beginning. To her, your past-life brother-in-law is now a stranger, while Taishu Yuanxiang is already her partner, merged as one."
Hearing this, realization flashed in Zhu Yanyi’s eyes. "You mean the sister in the past life and the sister in this life are actually two different individuals.
So, her being with my past-life brother-in-law was her fate then, and meeting Taishu Yuanxiang now is her fate here. They are unrelated.
Even if there is a connection, the only link is that my past-life nephew might just change fathers, right?"
Hearing Zhu Yanyi grasp his meaning, Yan Aohan nodded slightly. "I can hear that you like your nephew. Life is just like that. No matter what, the Heavenly Dao has its plans. Perhaps your nephew will still become your nephew in this life."
Zhu Yanyi felt much better now, but she still glanced at Yan Aohan. "Although I know you’re comforting me, it sounds better. I just hope this Taishu Yuanxiang truly likes my sister. I don’t want my sister in this life to be as heartbroken as in the past."
It is said that losing a father in youth, a husband in middle age, and a son in old age are the three great sorrows of life. Even if that was her life in the past, Zhu Yanli’s life still had regrets. So, Zhu Yanyi hoped that Zhu Yanli in this life could be happy and fulfilled, achieving true completeness.
Yan Aohan smiled gently to comfort her. "You said earlier that your family was very ordinary in the past life, which is why your sister’s fate was like that.
Remember, in this life, you received the Azure Sovereign Qingdi’s inheritance, and your family has changed.
You are already a famous young divine doctor domestically and internationally. Your dad is the chairman of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Group, a representative farmer entrepreneur of New Xia. Your mom is a virtuous wife but also has her own career.
So, even if your sister separates from Taishu Yuanxiang, she might not end up with your past-life brother-in-law. In the past life, your sister was a middle school graduate, so she was satisfied marrying her brother-in-law because they were well-matched."
Seeing Zhu Yanyi glare at her, she quickly explained, "This 'well-matched' has no derogatory meaning toward your sister. Think about it. In the past life, if your sister, a middle school graduate, had the chance to come to the capital, she would likely just be a worker at best."
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly at this. Indeed, if her sister had come to the capital in the past life, her status would likely just be that of a worker.
"Everyone’s living environment determines their perspective. In the past life, even if your sister came to the capital and became a worker, the people she knew would still be workers.
She would date and marry, naturally choosing from among the workers around her. Or perhaps, slightly better, a teacher or doctor took a liking to her, or a small boss noticed her. That would be the most unexpected outcome.
But wanting to know people from a higher social class was simply impossible."
Zhu Yanyi had been dissatisfied with Yan Aohan’s words earlier, but now she was enlightened. Wasn’t that exactly right?
Actually, the concept of "well-matched" has been very reasonable since ancient times. Put nicely, it’s "well-matched"; put vulgarly, it’s "a turtle matching a mung bean"—it’s destined.
Cinderella stories rarely happen in reality. Even in the Y Kingdom’s royal family, remember in the past life, the crown prince married a Cinderella as his princess. In the end, didn’t they divorce because the crown prince cheated?
