Chapter 504: Chapter 505: Is it really Senior Sister?
Shi Lingyan glanced at Shi Mei through the rearview mirror, only to see Shi Mei casually avert her eyes and say, "Guess we’re back together, huh."
Back together, huh.
Was there a hint of reluctance in her tone?
Shi Lingyan, somewhat dissatisfied, spoke calmly, "Getting ready to remarry."
Jian Yun was somewhat surprised and looked towards Shi Mei.
Who knew, Shi Mei was also taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Who said I want to remarry you?"
"If not remarrying, whom do you plan to marry?" Shi Lingyan drove steadily, glancing back casually.
"Not getting married," Shi Mei said seriously. "I just ended a marriage, I need some time."
Shi Lingyan chuckled, "So how long do you plan to take?"
"Wait until I become an international superstar," Shi Mei said with a smile. "At that time, if you still want to marry me, then I’ll marry you."
Hearing this, Jian Yun was momentarily stunned.
She turned her head to look at Shi Mei, whose profile was illuminated by the light outside the car window, looking as if she radiated a glow.
There was a time when she had heard similar words.
Back when Tang Wu and Shi Lingyan were discussing marriage, Shi Lingyan had proposed several times, but Tang Wu had never agreed.
Out of curiosity, Jian Yun had asked her daughter, "Don’t you like him?"
At that time, Tang Wu was gently wiping her guitar, and hearing the question, smiled, "I do like him."
"Then why won’t you agree to him? He’s proposed several times, the poor young man."
"Do I have to marry him just because I like him?" Tang Wu had asked lightly at the time. "I’m not ready to settle down and get married yet. I want to be an international superstar. Mom, you support me, right?"
What had Jian Yun replied at the time?
She had said, "As long as my precious daughter is happy."
She’d always been proud of Tang Wu’s excellence and independence, even feeling that Tang Wu’s every choice was right, so she never interfered.
Because she knew her daughter had her own thoughts and would manage her life perfectly.
And now, Shi Mei also exuded that same confidence and determination, exactly like Tang Wu back then.
Two independent and unrelated individuals, yet they shared the same or even identical qualities, irresistibly making her superimpose them upon one another.
Jian Yun couldn’t help but look towards Shi Lingyan.
The affection Shi Lingyan had for her daughter back then had not escaped her notice, and now his attitude towards Shi Mei was virtually the same as it had been for Tang Wu.
Could it be that Shi Lingyan was also drawn to the similarities between Shi Mei and Tang Wu?
Lost in her thoughts, Jian Yun suddenly heard Shi Lingyan ask, "What kind of superstar do you want to become?"
"Uh, haven’t thought it through yet." Shi Mei’s smile flourished, radiant and bright. "I’ll give it some thought."
"So, when will you have thought it through?"
"Why the rush? If you’re so eager to get married, find someone else," Shi Mei turned her head away and took Jian Yun’s arm. "You were the one who wanted the divorce, and now you’re the one who wants to remarry. Why does everything have to go your way?"
Shi Lingyan smiled, "My mistake. Had I known you were the Senior Sister, I would’ve never agreed to divorce you."
Jian Yun was suddenly startled by that name. "Senior Sister?"
The same Senior Sister that Granny Tang always remembered fondly?
The same Senior Sister who played the lute so enchantingly that she amazed everyone?
Jian Yun could hardly believe it, her eyes showing a mixture of surprise, joy, and fear, "You’re actually the Senior Sister?"
