Chapter 3563 Liu Changming's Hesitation
"Is the aesthetic sense of Africans different from ours?"

Yang Mo asked Liu Changming curiously, "So, what we consider beautiful, they might think is just average, and what they consider beautiful, we might not think is attractive."

"There are differences, but they're not too exaggerated. Human aesthetics actually have commonalities. For example, Marilyn Monroe was considered beautiful by movie fans all over the world, Teresa Teng's songs are popular all over the world, and some mixed-race girls in Africa are also very beautiful. A girl like Li Shiya would also attract attention there, but what we need is peace and stability. I don't want those young people to cause a ruckus over her."

Liu Changming said, "Moreover, it is undeniable that foreign countries are far less safe than China. Sending such a beautiful girl there would put a lot of pressure on me, as I would be responsible for her personal safety."

Liu Changming's words made everyone laugh. Liu Qihua had never met Li Shiya before and was hearing the name for the first time. She asked Qi Xiu curiously, "Is she very pretty?"

Qi Xiu nodded slightly and smiled as she glanced at her prospective son-in-law, Zhao Chang'an: "He's no worse than Xiao Shuang and Yi Xin."

"?"

Liu Qihua noticed Qi Xiu's gaze, glanced at Zhao Chang'an, and, finding nothing unusual on his face, looked at Qi Xiu with questioning eyes.

Qi Xiu smiled and shook her head slightly, indicating that it wasn't true.

Of course she knew that Zhao Chang'an was a womanizer. When she first met Li Shiya in the coffee shop, she was very surprised and thought that Zhao Chang'an was keeping Li Shiya as a kept woman.

Li Shiya, dressed in a maroon, white and blue checkered striped uniform for a coffee shop, exudes an allure that would make ordinary men feel a strong urge to pursue her. As a result, Qi Xiu has seen many handsome and financially well-off young men approach her and ask for her contact information.

Two of the Qi Xius looked somewhat familiar; they were young teachers at Fudan University.

However, Li Shiya coldly rejected them all. Her fair and impartial rejections only fueled the pursuit of these energetic young men.

Qi Xiu didn't think Li Shiya was cold-hearted; rather, with Zhao Chang'an around, these talented men naturally paled in comparison and couldn't catch Li Shiya's eye.

Qi Xiu had the most direct experience with Zhao Chang'an's ability to woo women. Her daughter's behavior towards Zhao Chang'an was like a hungry kitten craving a litter of tender mice. She rarely saw a woman so eager for a man's body. However, her daughter was not a frivolous woman, so it could only mean that she couldn't resist the extreme physical pleasure that Zhao Chang'an brought her.

Moreover, Zhao Chang'an's youth, handsomeness, talent, emotional intelligence, IQ, wealth, and social status—any one of these qualities alone would be considered top-tier.

Whenever she travels far away, she always brings back a gift for her daughter when she returns to Mingzhu. If she is away on Valentine's Day, Qixi Festival, or her birthday, she will also ask a florist to send her a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

It's fair to say that once a man like that sets his sights on a naive young woman, it's practically impossible for her to escape his clutches. Although Qi Xiu was well-versed in human nature and knew that it was difficult for a strong and successful man in his prime to escape the Coolidge effect, let alone Zhao Chang'an, she still felt very uncomfortable when she saw him keeping Li Shiya at a coffee shop.

Qi Xiu's judgment was based on the fact that Zhao Chang'an was very lecherous, and Li Shiya was so beautiful that it was obvious that her family was not very well-off. Zhao Chang'an also got this woman to work part-time at his coffee shop, so there was no reason why the two of them hadn't gotten together.

However, Li Shiya actually applied to work in Africa, which surprised Qi Xiu. Could it be that he guessed wrong? In fact, there was nothing between Zhao Chang'an and Li Shiya. This guy is not a lecherous scoundrel who can't wait to see a pretty woman.
"Qi Xiu, you're exaggerating a bit. No matter how pretty they are, they're not as pretty as our Xiao Shuang and Yi Xin."

Li Li smiled and said to Yang Yixin, "Are you interested in going to Egypt during the summer vacation? Your brother Liu Hao is there and can be your guide for the whole trip. The Nile River, the pyramids, camels, and the desert—the exotic scenery is quite nice."

Guo Wanqiu felt an urge to drag Zhao Chang'an, that bastard, out and beat him up to vent her anger.

This was something she had thought of before. She really liked Liu Hao, but her daughter used to never dress up and was like a prickly, half-finished wild girl. Liu Hao didn't like her at all. Even though Li Li didn't say it explicitly, Guo Wanqiu knew that Li Li disliked her daughter because she was like a fiery little firecracker.

In the past six months, as her daughter entered the nanometer industry, Guo Wanqiu was delighted to see that her daughter had begun to learn how to dress and become more and more refined and beautiful. Her skin was as white and delicate as a face, and when the mother and daughter walked on the street, they often encountered men who stared at their daughter in amazement.

The last time Li Li and Liu Changming saw their daughter was during last year's Spring Festival. Clearly, their daughter's huge changes have given Li Li some ideas. After all, Liu Hao is already 26 years old and still hasn't found a partner. He's also working abroad in Egypt, so Li Li and Liu Changming are probably starting to get anxious.

However, he took a liking to his daughter, but not only did his daughter already have someone else in her heart, she also had her body taken by that little rascal Zhao Chang'an.

Just thinking about it made Guo Wanqiu furious.

So although she intuitively felt that there was nothing between Zhao Chang'an and Li Shiya, just because there wasn't now didn't mean there wouldn't be in the future. Her daughter had known Zhao Chang'an for more than three years, and in the first two years, this little rascal was also pretending, which made her mistake and suffer such a big loss!
To prevent Li Shiya from repeating the same mistake her daughter made, Guo Wanqiu clearly stated that she did not agree with Liu Changming's point of view: "I specifically chose her. If you, Lao Liu, want to keep her in the country, that would be a real waste. We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Why can't we send her abroad to show people around the world the beauty of Eastern women? Why must we wear tinted glasses and discriminate in the workplace, forcing her to work in the country and insisting on hiring someone of average appearance? We must respect the choices of the person involved."

"If she meets her true love there and asks to marry a foreigner, creating a beautiful story of transnational marriage, it's not a bad thing. On the contrary, it's beneficial for our help and friendship towards that side. Now that we've entered the era of the global village, it's normal for Chinese people to marry foreigners, and for foreigners and Chinese people to marry each other."

Guo Wanqiu's words made Liu Changming think, and he felt that what she said made sense.

Is it because Li Shiya is a pretty student that I should treat her differently and unfairly?
They clearly wanted to work in Africa, but you didn't even ask for their opinion and just wanted to arbitrarily keep them working in the country. That's unreasonable!
Even Zhao Chang'an, who was listening in, felt that Guo Wanqiu was being a bit too nosy and liked to meddle in other people's business.

But he also knew that his wisest choice at this moment was to remain silent. If he interrupted, especially now that he had drunk a little, he might say something wrong and cause a lot of trouble.
