He seems to like everything about our Ouyang family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe doesn\u2019t truly love me. He just thinks I\u2019m easier to pursue than my older sister, so he keeps bothering me every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyway, Mom, please don\u2019t bring up Long Tuo in front of me again. I don\u2019t like him, and I\u2019ll never give him a chance, let alone marry him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ouyang Ting noticed her mother had suddenly become anxious. It was because the affair between her older sister and Zhan Yuan had gone public. Her mother grew uneasy after seeing her eldest daughter find such an outstanding man from a respected family.<\/p>\n<p>Deep down, maybe she felt jealous and envious of her sister.<\/p>\n<p>Trying to argue her point, the second wife said, \u201cYou haven\u2019t even tried to get to know Young Master Long. How can you be sure whether he\u2019s sincere or not?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour eldest sister is the one who truly leads this family. Your marriage won\u2019t impact our business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaster Long is clearly pursuing you\u2014he knows exactly what he\u2019s doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re already in your twenties. If we round up, that\u2019s practically thirty, and you still don\u2019t have a boyfriend. I wasn\u2019t worried at first, but after seeing your sister engaged, I started to feel anxious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re no less capable than your elder sister. If she can marry a good man, then so can you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The second wife clearly saw that her niece had secured a promising match, and suddenly began to worry about her own daughter\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Zhan Yuan first came around, I could tell you admired him. Why didn\u2019t you ever become a couple with him? He\u2019s the most outstanding young man I\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ouyang Ting replied bluntly, \u201cThat\u2019s only because Mom knows Zhan Yuan is the sixth young master of the wealthiest family in Wancheng. If I didn\u2019t know his background and he was just my sister\u2019s private chef, would you still let me be with him if I liked him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI begged my sister to fire Zhan Yuan long ago, just to keep him and me apart.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI admire Zhan Yuan, and I still do, but I don\u2019t have any romantic feelings for him. It\u2019s purely admiration\u2014nothing more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The second wife was left speechless after her daughter\u2019s rebuttal.<\/p>\n<p>She had to admit it was true.<\/p>\n<p>If her daughter genuinely liked Zhan Yuan, but he was just an ordinary chef, she would have firmly opposed the relationship from the start.<\/p>\n<p>Marriages are better when they\u2019re between people of equal social status.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLong Tuo is definitely not sincere toward me. I won\u2019t give him a chance\u2014I don\u2019t like him. Mom, no matter how anxious you are about my future, you can\u2019t expect me to sleep with every man that shows interest, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour daughter isn\u2019t so desperate that just any man can sleep with her. If I want to find a boyfriend, I\u2019ll choose someone who is truly exceptional\u2014someone who isn\u2019t eyeing our family\u2019s wealth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The second wife\u2019s face flushed with embarrassment at her daughter\u2019s blunt words.<\/p>\n<p>It felt like she was acting out of desperation, grasping at whatever option seemed available.<\/p>\n<p>She only saw the Long family\u2019s influence behind Long Tuo, without considering his true identity. He wasn\u2019t the actual heir of the Long family.<\/p>\n<p>His father wasn\u2019t the true head of the Long family either.<\/p>\n<p>Once the rightful heir returned, everything Long Tuo and his father controlled would be handed back to the legitimate successor. Only then would the rightful heir become the real head of the family.<\/p>\n<p>The wealth and power of the Long family belonged entirely to the direct bloodline.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how much the collateral branches envied them, it was useless\u2014those branches had always relied on the main line for survival.<\/p>\n<p>It was the direct descendants who first built the family\u2019s fortune. Others got jobs and opportunities simply because they shared the family name. They couldn\u2019t suddenly claim the legacy built over generations just because they had larger numbers.<\/p>\n<p>That would be both selfish and ungrateful.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMom, do you really think Long Tuo likes me?
