Chapter 1189: 297: A gentleman of noble character is as meticulous as cutting and carving jade, as if polishing and grinding it_4.
Li Dai actually doesn't admire Mr. Du at all, even finds him quite disagreeable.
Despite being in the new China, Mr. Du still behaves as if living in the old society every day. Wearing old-fashioned clothes is one thing, but even taking two concubines!
He's simply the most corrupt, the most bloodsucking Capitalist!
Such a person is nothing but a termite impeding social development.
Moreover, he's self-styled as a king, relying on his family heritage to cause trouble in the international settlements. As if he really thinks he's something!
I really don't know what Ni Yang sees in that kind of person.
Is she blind?
Li Dai shook his head.
Li Yao said, “Isn't it quite normal to have a style name. Just like you have an English name.”
“Can my English name be the same as his style name?” He is propelling the development of the motherland, not just replacing old blood, but also trying new things.
Not like Mo Qishen and others, who contribute nothing to society, and instead keep holding it back.
Li Yao shrugged her shoulders, “What's the difference? Brother, I think you've drunk too much Western ink.”
Li Dai lowered his head to look at Li Yao, “Yaoyao, your ideological awareness still needs improvement! Otherwise, we won't be able to communicate in the future.”
You don't realize it until you talk, and it's startling how many generational gaps there are between him and his own sister.
No wonder China hasn't made much progress over the past 6 years.
Turns out it's a problem with the entire populace.
The braids can be cut just like that, but thoughts can't be changed at will.
For China to truly become powerful and stand alongside Western countries, it's still too difficult.
Li Dai shook his head.
Li Yao frowned slightly, feeling that her brother had changed, but she couldn't quite put her finger on how.
Li Dai then asked, “Where is Mo Qishen from?”
“Seems like he's from Beijing,” Li Yao replied. “Brother, since the beauty has already rejected you, just let it be. Honestly, I don't think you two are suitable for each other.”
She was too rash before.
Now it seems that Li Dai is not worthy of Ni Yang…
Although Li Dai is her brother, if he's not worthy, then he's just not.
“I'm willing to be tolerant of Ni Yang's flaws, as long as she's willing to change for me,” Li Dai said.
What?
Li Yao looked at Li Dai in surprise.
“Brother! What are you talking about! What flaws could the beauty possibly have?” If there are any, it's because she's too beautiful.
Li Dai said, “There's no gold without impurity, no man without flaws. Isn't it normal to have some flaws?”
In Li Dai's eyes, Ni Yang still has many flaws.
For instance, being so young, she already has an adopted daughter.
And that adopted daughter always likes to call her 'mom'.
A single girl, followed by someone calling her 'mom'—how could that possibly sound good if it got out?
Also, she always likes to wear cheongsams.
Cheongsams might look nice, but they represent backward thinking.
As contemporary youth, we should constantly try new things and innovate, old feudal thoughts should have been discarded long ago.
Li Dai continued to ask, “Does Ni Yang love wearing cheongsams?”
“Yeah.” Li Yao nodded.
Li Dai continued, “That's her flaw. You should go abroad and see what era it is now, who still wears such antiquated clothes!”
Women abroad all wear fashionable Western clothes, and their thoughts and mentalities are very open, not restricted by old patterns.
“How can you say that, Brother!” Li Yao frowned slightly.
“Am I wrong?” Li Dai continued, “The cheongsam itself is a product of the Feudal Society! Haven't you thought about what era it is now!”
Li Yao now began to regret introducing Ni Yang to Li Dai.
“Brother, why have you become like this? Even looking down on your own country's culture! Don't forget, this is also the place that gave birth to you and raised you!”
Li Dai smiled and said, “Perhaps this is the difference between studying abroad and staying cloistered at home. I'm talking about too much at once, you can neither digest it nor understand it.”
Seeing that the atmosphere between the siblings was a bit off, Wang Hengyang hurriedly intervened with a smile, “Yaoyao, shall I first take Brother back home? Then we'll set off for Hang City.”
“Yeah.” Li Yao nodded.
Elsewhere.
The black sedan soon arrived at the Du residence.
Then Du Jiaojiao said, “Right, is the camera repaired yet?”
Mr. Du shook his head, “It won't be so fast, don't worry, I'll tell you when it's fixed.”
“Okay then.”
From inside the door, two young women came out, one tall and one short.
“Master, Second Sister.” The person was none other than Chu Xiangyi.
Chu Xiangyi could be said to epitomize the phrase 'lady of a respectable family' to the fullest, even her walk was gentle and graceful.
