System: Master Your Life-Chapter 584 - 144: Shang Wanjun’s Mom: Wanjun, What Kind of Family Is Xu From?_3

"Not sure, should be about 1.86 meters."

Shang Wanjun really didn’t know Xu Lin’s height.

"What kind of family can raise such a kid?" Lin Jingrou muttered to herself.

Shang Wanjun heard it but didn’t pay attention.

She knew Lin Jingrou was quite realistic in some aspects, like when she said Xu Lin was polite, but what if Xu Lin drove an electric scooter today?

Shang Wanjun guessed Lin Jingrou probably wouldn’t say Xu Lin was polite then.

After a while, the mother and daughter walked into the community together.

Lin Jingrou couldn’t help but say again, "If my future son-in-law meets Xu’s standards, that would be great."

"Why don’t you just say I should marry Xu Lin directly? Forget about Xu’s standards, there’s no such guy like him again in the world, where’s there an ’if’?"

In Shang Wanjun’s heart, Xu Lin was a unique existence, having everything one could want, and crucially, he could seamlessly connect with her brainwaves.

That’s what one would call a confidant.

There’s no way there could be a second Xu Lin in the world.

Lin Jingrou’s eyes shifted, then said, "Eh, it’s not impossible either."

"Don’t bring up such things, and I don’t have any thoughts of getting married."

"You’re just thinking too much about all sorts of things. What do you mean there’s no intention of getting married? Nowadays, young people don’t want to marry because many don’t have the conditions. The social cost for them to marry, start a family and support it is simply too high. I don’t have much to say about that. But our family’s conditions aren’t bad. Your mom is an associate professor at a university, though not at a key university. Your dad works at a research institute. Look at our family; it’s a highly educated household. You’re also very pretty. With these comprehensive conditions, you can match with a very powerful family. See, wasn’t there a bureau chief wanting you as his daughter-in-law recently? But you weren’t pleased."

Shang Wanjun remembered the son of the bureau chief, who was quite wild in private, though Lin Jingrou didn’t know. Shang Wanjun did, but she couldn’t be bothered to mention it. Moreover, the bureau chief’s son was also ugly, with a greasy vibe even at twenty-eight or nine years old. It’s not just his speech that’s greasy; his whole person looked greasy. But even if he looked handsome, Shang Wanjun wouldn’t like him. She was simply uninterested in political families.

Shang Wanjun thought of Xu Lin. Actually, Xu Lin played around too.

She knew Xu Lin had a girlfriend and wasn’t clear about his relationship with Rong Xiyan.

One foot on two boats, in the secular sense, a proper scumbag.

But Shang Wanjun didn’t say anything and had no objections.

Of course, Shang Wanjun didn’t care about these messy things because her relationship and feelings with Xu Lin, which Shang Wanjun called "divine communion," were about spiritual-level communication. A bit more literary, it’s a Platonic exchange. However, Shang Wanjun felt their exchange transcended the so-called Platonic style, after all, what nonsense is discussed in those so-called Platonic love affairs?

The literary Shang Wanjun felt the topics she discussed with Xu Lin were far more sophisticated.

So, whatever Xu Lin’s personal love life was, she didn’t care and wasn’t interested.

This was Shang Wanjun’s attitude.

Moreover, Shang Wanjun truly didn’t want to marry, nor have children.

She thought marriage would bind her life, even more, with a child because once you have a child, life becomes a cage, one you can’t escape for life.

Also, Shang Wanjun didn’t think she would be a good mom. She felt she couldn’t raise a child well.

Shang Wanjun was used to freedom. She once thought of living like a hermit, but there were too many worldly shackles she couldn’t break free from. This was the conflict between Shang Wanjun’s ideals and reality, which she could only try to balance as much as possible.

Thus, she didn’t want to marry or have kids. She wanted to live the life she liked. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

This was Shang Wanjun’s current thought, but in the future?

That was hard to say.

Xu Lin didn’t know what Shang Wanjun was thinking. After getting home, he got busy with his own things.

A while had passed, and I Am a Singer had aired three episodes. Xie Ting had performed twice and was currently very popular in the show, even feeling gradually stable at first place.

Moreover, because Xie Ting performed twice, even without Xu Lin pushing behind the scenes, Xie Ting hit the hot search twice, once taking first place on the entertainment chart. With the huge exposure flow from the show, his fan count went from over a million to more than four hundred thirty thousand. Who knows how much it’ll grow by the end of this season?

Though there are still ten more episodes ahead, so there’s quite a bit of variability.

Xu Lin’s job tonight was to resolve Xie Ting’s doubts, like teaching him the next song, ensuring he can handle the next episode’s competitors.

In the end, he didn’t sleep until two in the morning, and then time flew to Tuesday.
