At this time, Charlie quickly asked out of curiosity, “What do you mean?”
Jasmine replied in a serious manner, “Mr. Wade, you look like a very simple and casual person but
you’re actually very skillful and capable. However, despite being very capable, you’re not arrogant at
all. After getting to know you better, I realize that you won’t try to show off your skills or abilities but if
anyone touches your limit or challenges you, you won’t hesitate to show them what you are capable of.
Moreover, the methods that you use to counter-attack or defend yourself is usually very unpredictable
and quite unlike how an ordinary person would react.”
After that, Jasmine continued speaking, “Most importantly, I really don’t understand why you’d choose
to become a stay-home son-in-law of the Wilson family when you’re actually so capable and talented.
The Wilson family is just a regular and second or probably third-rate family. I think you can definitely do
much better because you have so much potential in you. Don’t you feel that way at all?”
Charlie did not answer her question but he asked her another question instead. “Then, where do you
think I belong if not in the Wilson family?”
Jasmine replied seriously, “I think that someone like you should be married to a prestigious top-notch
family. I believe that many powerful and wealthy families would be dying to marry their daughters to you
because you are so skillful and capable.”
At this time, Charlie smiled before he replied, “What’s the point in that? If someone were to get married
because of the family’s interest, then there would be no element of love in the relationship at all. Why
would someone in a powerful and wealthy family be willing to marry a person she has no feelings or
affection for? Moreover, if the guy marries into her family, wouldn’t he be living under the control and
command of her family for the rest of his life?”
Jasmine replied naturally, “Of course! This has always been the way it is in all the powerful and wealthy
families. They’re always particularly strict with their daughters. For instance, the children of powerful
and wealthy families would always be required to attend the top aristocratic school in the city to have
excellent knowledge and good social etiquette. Our families have also strictly forbidden us from
contacting any members of the opposite sex and we’re not allowed to fall in love with someone else on
our own.”
“What?” Charlie asked in surprise. “We’re in the twenty-first century now! Why does it seem as though
the wealthy and powerful families are more feudal compared to those people in the past?”
“This is not feudalism,” Jasmine replied in a serious manner. “This is the survival rule for upper class
families.”
“The law of survival?” Charlie asked. “What do you mean by that?”
At this time, Jasmine quickly explained, “We need to have joint partnerships and collaborations, and we
also exchange resources with other prestigious families. Therefore, there is only one rule in the Moore
family, that is, all direct members of the Moore family have to obey the marriage arrangements that the
elders in the Moore family decides on. There’s no room for any discussion on this matter.”
“In the past, the Moore family had even set a rule that the members of the Moore family would have to
intermarry within the family, with all marriages arranged between the cousins. Therefore, it is normal for
one cousin to marry another to prevent wealth dilution or money from leaving the family. However,
since there’s now a prohibition on marriages between relatives within three generations in this country,
this rule has already been cast aside. However, there are some of my blood relatives who still marry
our own cousins abroad.”
“Our family rule has already been greatly relaxed and we’re no longer required to marry our own
cousins. However, we’re still required to marry someone from a similarly wealthy and powerful family.
Even though the other party’s family cannot be more powerful than our own, their status should not be
much lower than our own.”
After that, Jasmine sighed as she continued speaking, “Our family believes in the value of cooperation
and they’ll always find ways so the men from other families would marry into our family and similarly,
the woman from other families would have to marry into our family. All members of the Moore family
would have to focus on the interest of the Moore family as a whole and we’re not allowed to disobey
any marriage arrangements made by the elders in the family.”
Charlie sighed when he heard Jasmine’s explanation. After that, he said, “It seems as though there are
also many troubles that you face as a member of a powerful and wealthy family. It seems as though the
more money a person has, the greedier they become.”
Charlie knew that he would also be placed in a similar position if he were to return to the Wade family
now. The Wade family would definitely try to exert control over his life and they might even look down
on the Wilson family. If things got complicated, Charlie believed that the Wade family would also
attempt to force him to divorce Claire just so they could get him to marry another woman from a
similarly wealthy and powerful family instead.
It seemed as though he really should not return to the Wade family.
As he thought about this matter to himself, Charlie suddenly asked, “By the way, Jasmine, I think you’re
also at the age where you should be getting married. Has your family already arranged for your
marriage yet?”
Jasmine shook her head before she replied, “Well, the elders were initially making the necessary
marriage arrangement for my cousin Reuben. His marriage was decided on a long time ago and my
grandfather has arranged for him to marry the daughter of a very wealthy and powerful family in the
northern region. However, when Grandpa was about to arrange my marriage, he fell seriously ill and
they decided to postpone this plan instead. Since my grandpa is already recovering, I believe he’ll start
planning my marriage soon…”
