"No way! Absolutely not! If your brother marries a woman with a child, our Xie family will be pointed at and mocked by everyone. Neither your father nor I will ever agree to it! Besides, your brother is so accomplished, why should he settle for a woman with a child? Are there no other women left in the world?"
Mother Xie answered with absolute firmness.
Xie Ran realized that there was no hope between Little Kite's mother and her brother.
Fortunately, the woman had turned her down; otherwise, had they gotten together and her mother refused to accept it, how heartbroken that woman would have been.
Mother Xie looked at Xie Ran suspiciously.
With a gaze that seemed capable of piercing right through a person, Xie Ran crossed her arms and backed away.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Ranran, tell me honestly, does your brother have someone in his life?"
Xie Ran shook her head.
Mother Xie didn't believe her.
"Then why did you ask a question like that? Are you hiding something from me?"
"I really am not!"
Xie Ran felt wronged.
"Your brother is an exceptional man, and our family has money. Of course young women throw themselves at him. But a woman with a child throwing herself at him too? Absolutely not! Fess up!"
"Confess to what?"
"Ranran!"
"Mom, I swear there's really nothing! It was just a friend of mine, she's a single mother, and I wanted to introduce her to my brother, but she turned him down. The two of them haven't even met yet."
