My Family Raised A Proud Wife

[MFRAPW] Chapter 16.2 — These Three Views Are Too Unrighteous

“I have a few suggestions,” Su Xiaopei said, “When you teach her something, don’t be too eager, and don’t think that she will learn or understand immediately. For her, everything here is different from what she has known before and was used to doing. After studying for seventeen or eighteen years, she already has a complete knowledge and cognitive system in her mind, so it is not easy to re-understand and re-learn things. She will subconsciously reject and resist, which makes her more difficult to teach than children. Of course, the advantage is that she has a stronger comprehension than a child, and she has more self-discipline and can control her own behavior.” 

“Okay, okay.” Chen Ying rubbed his nose, thinking that Mi Xi’s self-control was so good that more than ten people ran around the streets for hours today looking for her, really great ah.

“Every time you try to correct and instill new behavior patterns and knowledge—don’t take too long. End the discussion before she begins resisting, so that she will accept it better. In addition, it is best to do something that will cultivate her sense of belonging and build her confidence. For example, let her do housework, let her decorate the room by herself, choose her furniture. Or specify what she can do, let her have a goal, and when she completes it, she will have a sense of accomplishment.”

“Yes, yes.” Chen Ying could only nod.

But in fact, in the current situation, he was the one who has no confidence. He has no confidence at all that he could take good care of young miss Mi Xi. He was very busy, and this young miss obviously needed to be watched closely by someone 24 hours a day. And that person needed to have all the knowledge contained in an encyclopedia, and have infinite patience and tolerance. He felt like he had none of the necessary requirements.

While Chen Ying was thinking this way, he glanced at Mi Xi, and Mi Xi happened to look over at the same time, and so their eyes met. Chen Ying originally thought that the young girl would turn her head away shyly and uncomfortably, but she didn’t. 

Mi Xi also thought that Chen Ying would turn his head away, but Chen Ying did not. The two looked at each other for a long time.

What? You think you can beat me? Chen Ying said to her in his heart. 

Of course Mi Xi couldn’t hear it, but she tilted her head and blinked her eyes. 

Chen Ying helped her with her lines. Just watch me do it, yeah?

“She trusts you,” Su Xiaopei said, interrupting the dialogue in Chen Ying’s head. She was also looking at Mi Xi, and saw Mi Xi looking back at Chen Ying.

“Of course.” Chen Ying suddenly felt a little proud. He took her in and bought her this and that. It really wasn’t easy to find a bastard as cunning as him ah. If he couldn’t get a little trust from this young miss after doing all that, then her conscience must have been eaten by a dog.

“But there is still a long way to go before she can open her heart and accept this world,” Su Xiaopei said. “I want to see her once a week, give her psychological counseling, and assess how she’s adapting.” 

“Okay.” He couldn’t wish for more. Su Xiaopei was a professional psychologist after all; it’s great that she’s willing to help Mi Xi. “It’s free, right?” he confirmed. He can afford to pay, but with this set of people? Pfft just forget it. With Cheng Jiangyi’s family—Chen Ying really doesn’t want to pay anything.

Su Xiaopei said coolly, “If Mr. Chen is willing to give something, of course I won’t refuse.”

“I don’t want to,” Mr. Chen replied very straightforwardly.

Mi Xi was looking at them curiously, and Chen Ying smiled comfortingly at her. 

At this time, Wu Hao rushed out from the balcony. “Boss, I‘ll head back to the company. There are a lot of things happening. Damn, what a bunch of f*ckers.” 

All eyes went to him.

“Mi Xi, don’t learn what this Uncle Wu says—it’s all bullshit.” Chen Ying spoke first.

“Fuck that, ‘bullshit’ is also a foul language, okay?” Wu Hao was not convinced, and accidentally exploded again. He stopped and smiled, “Actually, I’m quite gentle, Mi Xi.” 

In such a time, a sensible young miss would nod and smile.

But Mi Xi just looked at him.

“Ah, forget it, I’m leaving, I’ll prove it next time.” Wu Hao hurried away, and turned back when he reached the door, saying, “Mi Xi, say ‘goodbye’ to older brother.” 

Mi Xi stood up and said ‘Goodbye, uncle.”

Wu Hao pointed at her, but was choked by her serious expression, “Forget it, I’ll correct you next time.” 

He opened the door and was about to leave, then poked his head back and said to the people in the room, “Today’s business is not over. The public opinion can’t be cleaned up so quickly. Before I give the ‘all clear’, you’d better not let Mixi go out yet.” 

After speaking, he turned and left without waiting for anyone to respond.

Mi Xi looked back at Chen Ying, and Chen Ying comforted her, “Don’t worry, it won’t take too long.” 

“It’s okay,” Mi Xi replied obediently. “When I was at home before, I often couldn’t go out, too.”

Ancient education was really good ah, Chen Ying sighed inwardly. 

But then he quickly seized the opportunity to talk about important issues. “Did Yuelao arrange a blind date for Mi Xi? Has he pulled any red thread for her marriage?”

No one answered. Mi Xi also blinked her eyes in a daze.

“How about a blind date?” Chen Ying asked again. “But Mi Xi can’t go out and she doesn’t have a normal social life. If she can’t meet boys and get to know them, how can she meet the right one?” 

But with her current situation, how could she go out on a date? She didn’t know anything about human history, she spoke oddly, behaved even more oddly, and she would get into trouble if she ever went out. 

Chen Ying felt that he had to face reality. Even if Mi Xi could go on a blind date, the chances of it being successful would definitely be zero.

How to do this then? Accelerate her literacy education? Set up the blind dates as she gets better?

“I’m in charge of finding a teacher for her, and you all are responsible for helping her find a partner, okay?” Chen Ying looked at Cheng Jiangyi and Su Xiaopei. 

He didn’t mind increasing the scope of his kindness from providing board and lodging to include education, but as for finding her a partner—Cheng Jiangyi should be responsible for this matter ah! 

“What about the old man? Didn’t he say that the task is difficult and the time is tight? Did he tell you what his next plan is?” 

Two adults and one young miss: three blank faces.

Chen Ying was upset again. These. Unreliable. People.

No, he couldn’t allow this to happen. 

Parent meetings must be held on weekends, and they must be taken seriously. Since Mi Xi came here to find a marriage, and there were only three years to do it, they should get the focus right. 

If Yue Lao was unreliable, Chen Ying could only organize and lead everyone. Find someone Mi Xi can fall in love with, fall in love quickly, fall in love quickly! 

But what if she didn’t like anyone? 

Wait. This— this was unacceptable. 

He, Chen Ying, a social elite, a successful person, and a decent uncle, was actually worried that a 17-year-old girl in his charge won’t fall in love early. These three views were too unrighteous! Too contrary to his upright and heroic image— no, wait, it’s contrary to his heart ah!

His heart was that of a straight man!

T/N: A straight man is someone who doesn’t understand or pay attention to romance. Chen Ying was originally horrified that they were not only encouraging ‘young love’ (most schools and parents prohibit teenage relationships) but were actively seeking it—then got even more horrified because his ‘straight’ self is now meddling with love.
