"For someone like that to still be criticized only shows how short-sighted people are."
Jiang Man looked at the man before him and thought, 'He's truly worthy of being called a Celestial Pride.'
'All I did was pull an all-nighter, and I get praised like this.'
'If he weren't from Meng Qiewei's family, I'd definitely want to be his friend.'
'Also, he didn't have to specifically point out that I'm poor.'
Just then, Ji Hao changed the subject. "So, I'd like to ask you... would you be willing to marry into our family?"
Jiang Man was stunned.
'Marrying into another family again.'
"Can't I be the one to marry her?" he asked.
"It's not entirely out of the question. How about this: would you be willing to change your surname to Ji and marry a woman from a side branch of our clan?" Ji Hao asked.
Jiang Man stared blankly at him. "Change my surname to marry someone from your side branch?"
"That's right. The children will take your surname," Ji Hao said.
