Hero of heart The amazing son in law complete
Chapter 7389
Hearing this, Margaret An’s admiration for Maria Lin grew even stronger. She couldn’t help but sigh, “Senior, your thoughtfulness and courage are truly extraordinary. I truly admire you.”
After saying this, he asked Maria Lin, “Victoria is so eager to get that ring. Is it because it contains the recipe for the Hundred Refinements Pill?”
Maria Lin knew that Margaret An had found a breakthrough in the Wu family and must have obtained a lot of important information, so she was not surprised when Margaret An mentioned the Baizhuan Qianhui Pill.
He replied calmly, “According to what my father said back then, my teacher did mention that the key to the Hundred Refinements Pill was in that ring, but my father didn’t know how to find this important clue, and my teacher didn’t explain the ring’s uses.”
“If Victoria hadn’t suddenly challenged my father, he wouldn’t even know that the ring could save his life at a critical moment.”
Maria Lin didn’t hide anything and told the whole story about how her father was hurt by Victoria and how the ring was given to her.
Margaret An was filled with gratitude and amazement. She said happily, “So this ring really does have magical effects!”
“Your father used it, and Charlie used it too. This proves that this ring is reusable. With it, wouldn’t Charlie be immortal?”
Maria Lin shook her head and said, “Nothing is certain yet. Young Master has exhausted a great deal of his spiritual energy because of the ring, and he managed to survive by relying on potions.”
“It seems the ring consumes a lot of spiritual energy each time it’s activated. Furthermore, it’s unknown how many times it can be used. The best outcome would be that Young Master no longer needs its assistance.”
Margaret An nodded lightly with a serious expression and sighed, “Senior is right. In a matter like this, there’s no room for trial and error. One wrong move will lead to eternal damnation.”
Maria Lin smiled faintly, looked at Margaret An, and said, “When I came here today, I thought of many possibilities, but I never expected to encounter Mrs. Wade.”
“However, since we have met and discussed with Master, many things should be discussed openly and honestly.”
“If we discuss this matter clearly and thoroughly, the results will be doubled for half the effort, both for us and the Master. What do you think, Mrs. Wade?”
Margaret An nodded respectfully, “Senior, you are correct. I have decided to meet you and am ready to tell you everything I know. Furthermore, I also have a few questions I would like to ask.”
Maria Lin smiled and said, “Then, let me ask you a question first.”
Margaret An raised her right hand and made an inviting gesture: “Senior, please speak.”
Maria Lin said, “Since Madam Wade was not killed as the outside world believed, then it seems that Madam Wade must have been behind the scenes orchestrating Young Master’s life path over the years, including the acquisition of the Nine Profound Heavenly Scriptures.”
“Then, since Madam arranged for Young Master to marry Claire, why is Madam bothering to separate them now?”
Margaret An smiled bitterly and said, “To be honest, Senior, even though I am behind the scenes, I am far from being able to plan and strategize, and I don’t dare to do so either.”
“When my teacher saw the danger, he had already prepared a way for me to escape, but I was not informed at the time.”
“Otherwise, I would never have agreed to use this method in exchange for my safety.”
“By the time I learned the truth, my husband had already been murdered. I could only comply with his wishes and remain anonymous. I didn’t dare contact his relatives or friends.”
“Several important milestones in Charlie’s life, such as entering the orphanage, receiving 10 billion from the Wade family, and obtaining the Nine Profound Heavenly Scriptures, were all planned in advance by him. I, a younger generation, didn’t dare to interfere too much.”
“You brought up the subject of marriage, which was completely unexpected. Neither my teacher nor I expected Charlie to meet Claire’s grandfather, let alone for anyone to find out.”
Claire’s grandfather was a servant of the Wade family many years ago. He recognized Charlie from the Wade family by his appearance and surname at a construction site, and decided to make Charlie his son-in-law.
Maria Lin suddenly understood and nodded slowly, then said, “But if Mrs. Wade is not satisfied with this marriage, with Mrs. Wade’s abilities, there are many ways to avoid it at the root, right?”
Margaret An nodded and said, “To be honest, in my opinion, Charlie is a descendant of the Wade family and a grandson of the An family. His background is definitely honorable. Moreover, he possesses the Dragon Fate bestowed upon him by his father, making him a rising dragon.”
“If being stuck in shallow water is the inevitable path to growth, then I can sit back and watch Charlie live in an orphanage, or I can watch him carry bricks on a construction site and be bullied. But what I don’t want to see most is him becoming someone else’s son-in-law.”
“So, I tried various ways to stop it indirectly, including secretly arranging for many rich people to pursue Claire before the wedding, and even lobbying the Willson family, but nothing worked.”
“If I had taken one more step at that time, it might have been considered deliberate, and a harsh intervention would only have made Charlie aware of it… So, I had no choice but to stop him.”
Maria Lin nodded and asked, “So Mrs. Wade is not happy with their marriage, is she?”
Margaret An shook her head and said, “I can’t say I’m dissatisfied with Claire, but I can’t say I’m satisfied with her either.”
Objectively, the root cause of many strained relationships between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in China is that mothers-in-law lack the correct mindset. A son is not a puppet controlled by his mother-in-law.
It’s not a mother-in-law’s right to interfere in who he marries and how he lives his life. A mother-in-law shouldn’t choose her son’s wife, let alone hate her. I didn’t choose Claire, but I also have no right to hate her.
At this point, Margaret An looked at Maria Lin and confessed, “The reason I went to so much trouble to separate them was because I didn’t want Claire and her family of three to hold Charlie back any longer.”
“I’ve also been secretly observing Charlie’s movements. He’s basically centered in Aurous Hill, spreading out all over the world. However, every time he leaves the house, he seems in a hurry, returning immediately after finishing his business.”
“Even after returning, he commuted every day. Let me ask you, senior, if a cultivator doesn’t have time for solitude all day, how can he improve his cultivation?”
Maria Lin nodded slowly and pondered, “My father once said that practicing Taoism means slowing down one’s lifespan like a ten-thousand-year-old redwood tree. One spends all day practicing meditation and entering a trance state.”
“Often, a single retreat can unwittingly last for months or even more than a year.”
“For a cultivator, it’s just the blink of an eye. My master once told him that once he reaches his cultivation level, a glance lasting a hundred years is enough.”
“If one truly reaches the highest level, a glance of ten thousand years would not be surprising.”
After saying this, he could only sigh, “Young Master’s previous situation did have a huge impact on his cultivation.”
“He never had enough time to retreat. His cultivation progress and breakthroughs might have been hampered because of this…”
Hearing Victoria’s words, Margaret An felt a little relieved, but she couldn’t help but sigh, “I didn’t want to bother Charlie like this. But if he doesn’t act soon, I’m afraid that when Victoria is about to die, Charlie still won’t be a match for her.”
After saying this, he said with a serious expression: “Based on my understanding of Victoria, if her life is really threatened, she will definitely take revenge frantically on everyone, the Wade family, the An family, I’m afraid no one will be spared by then. Charlie’s time is running out!”
