Chapter 508: Are You Planning to Be Single Forever?
Outside the room, Ethan heard these words and couldn't help but worry for his master.
Until now, Ivy was the only one who dared to criticize the Ashford family's leader, thinking he was useless!
Unable to contain himself, Ethan entered the bedroom to defend his master.
"Lady Ivy, please calm down. It's not that Alex is useless, it's just that the six little masters are too formidable. They sabotaged Alex's company and publicly announced its impending bankruptcy. When Alex went to save the company, the six little masters ransacked the house, causing fires and floods that almost took lives!"
"Oh?" Ivy wondered if it was her children who caused all of this.
Seeing Alexander's gloomy expression, Ivy worried that he would question her on how she had educated their children in the past four years.
Proactively, she said, "Alexander, how did you educate the children? For these four years, I've been alone, taking care of six children without any mistakes. They were obedient, well-behaved, and adorable. We never experienced such situations before. But after I left for just a few days, the children followed you and caused such a big mess. It seems there are serious problems with your education! As the old saying goes, 'The fault lies with the father's education.' After causing such a big mess, shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"
Alexander remained silent, while Ethan shared his frustration.
"Mrs. Donald!" Ivy seemed to have found a kindred spirit. "Could you enlighten me on the usefulness of marriage? And what use are men?"
Cici, who was enjoying the spectacle, couldn't help but smile and nod.
"Grandmother, I've never been married, so as far as I'm concerned, men are useless!"
Alexander suddenly felt helpless, and Ethan, as a man, couldn't help but speak up for his gender.
"Why are men considered useless? Mrs. Donald, you can't generalize all men just because you've been hurt in relationships!"
"Hmph!" Cici Foster snorted.
"Young man, what's wrong with your ears at such a young age? I said men are useless to me, but I didn't say all men in the world are useless! However, in this era of women's rise and men's decline, men really don't play a significant role. What can men do that women can't? In every field, aren't there female elites? Not to mention regular women, who are also extremely capable. They can earn money, take care of children, do physically demanding work, and handle danger.
Women can do everything on their own, so why do they need men? Why get married? Women who choose to get married must be extremely lonely and bored. They not only have to do the housework, but also serve their husband's parents, like serving a whole family, and they may not have a good outcome in the end. Men, for the most part, are hypocritical, arrogant, destructive, self-important, heartless, and simple-minded. They can't control their emotions, and they think with their muscles. Man's power is diminishing while women are rising to the top!"
"The lowly... creatures that shorten women's lives!"
Cici's words made Ivy's eyes shine, giving her a new understanding of life as a whole.
Alexander and Ethan were both enraged by her words, wishing they could immediately tape shut this old lady's mouth.
Cici continued without any sense of danger, saying, "I'm talking about most men, not all of them. Some men shouldn't take it personally!"
She then patted Ivy's shoulder, comforting her, "The world is so big, there are still good men out there. You just have to keep your eyes open and slowly search for them. If you find one, you can be with him, and if you can't find one, you can live on your own! It's the same without a man!"
"Mrs. Donald is right!" Ivy applauded in agreement.
They were kindred spirits!
Alexander and Ethan had a vein popping on their foreheads.
Was this old Mrs. Donald encouraging Ivy to remarry?
Someone was feeling threatened.
"Ivy..." Alexander said urgently, "Can you come back with me? It's not good to stay here for long due to the bad feng shui!"
If she continued to stay, Ivy might end up divorcing her husband!
Ivy decisively shook her head, "No no no, I think the feng shui here is quite good, and I get along well with Mrs. Donald!"
"Get along well?" Alexander glanced at the imposing Cici and said sarcastically, "Are you planning to be a spinster for life like Mrs. Donald?"
