Chapter 21

Xu Lin, I cant be this selfish. The other partys family has truly saved our family. Because of my stubbornness, how would it make the other side perceive my parents, and what will happen to the relationship between the two families?

If you think that way, then go ahead and marry. Whats the point of being so tormented? Havent you already run out of choices?!

Xu Lin couldnt help but raise his tone, and Su Qingwan also clenched her fists. She still couldnt refute this statement.

Yes, if she had completely given up, why would she be so tormented? Why not accept it early and become a wealthy wife? This way, the relationship between the two families could be maintained or even improved. Her parents would be happy, and Uncle Jia would be happy.

But honestly, had she really compromised? Not really!

To be honest, at the moment Xu Lin helped her, she didnt feel anger but excitement, thrill, and joy. He had broken one of her chains.

After returning, she entered into another silent conflict with her parents. However, in the past few days, she hasnt been forced into any arranged meetings. She felt considerably relieved.

But tonight, the other party was coming to her house for dinner. Her parents wanted her to clarify this matter face-to-face. She couldnt help but think of Xu Lin again. She wanted to resist but lacked the determination.

Su Qingwan, summon the courage. What cant you do? People are inherently selfish. Whats wrong with that? We dont necessarily have to repay our lifetime of happiness for a sense of obligation.

But my parents

Do you think your parents love you?

Yes.

Without hesitation, she, being the only child in the family, knew better than anyone else about her parents love.

So for your rebellion, your parents will definitely forgive you. Faced with a benefactor and their own flesh and blood, they will have their own choices.

But what about the relationship between the two families? Uncle Jia is actually a good person; he is just doing it for his son.

Thats not something for you to consider. You should only be concerned about yourself and your happiness.

But Ive resisted, and the result is still the same.

Su Qingwan, can you call that resistance? Youre like cotton hitting someone! Go in front of everyone, say it, that you wont marry, that you dont like the other person; do it or leave it!

At this moment, Xulin also held back a surge of anger. His vigour rose, and he shouted at Su Qingwan.

Dont worry; make a scene as you please. As long as youre sure your parents love you and this Uncle Jia is a reasonable person, what are you afraid of?

Even if your parents are genuinely selling you, Uncle Jia is just pretending to be kind with a black heart, wanting you to marry his son. Thats even better; you wont have to worry about anyone else.

Theres nothing wrong with being completely selfish! Forced arranged marriages are not recognised by the country nowadays.

Alright, there is courage. But can you really handle the situation at that time?

I think I can

Squaring her fists, Su Qingwan hesitated, but under the gaze of Xu Lin beside her, she relaxed her grip. I should be able to.

Must be bolder. Today, when the Jia family comes to your house for dinner, say it in front of everyone. Thats the only way to cut it off directly.

But wont I have to face both sides then? I

If you have no courage, then just obediently get married. As a student, Ill give you a congratulatory gift when the time comes, Xu Lin sarcastically added.

Xu Lin! Rest assured, I, your teacher, will make an effort! Hearing Xu Lin looking down on her, a fire ignited within her.

Also, they think you have a boyfriend; this matter hasnt been clarified yet, right?

Yes.

Or you can say you have a boyfriend who is younger than you, so you havent told them yet. Also, would you be willing to make yourself look less appealing?

Less appealing?

Make yourself seem less impressive. For example, youve been living together with me for some time. Itll make the other party lose interest in you.

Youre suggesting this. Dont I care about my reputation?

Then are you going to marry that guy? He doesnt look bad, except for the face shape, too big nose, small eyes, wearing big glasses, and having thick lips. Other than that, no problem.

Youre really blunt. Fine, Ill improvise when the time comes.

Well, if you really dont have the courage, just give up. After becoming a wealthy lady, remember to support me.

With your physique? Better not.

Whats wrong with my physique?

The two of them started joking. Su Qingwan reached out and pinched his shoulder. Look at how skinny you are, like a little chick.

But before she could retract her arm, Dr. Wang walked in from outside. Seeing the two of them so close, he was momentarily stunned.
