Just like with Dr. Lin, she knew he didn\u2019t truly love her, but she just couldn\u2019t let go.<\/p>\n

She had poured so much effort into Dr. Lin and his family; how could she expect nothing in return for all that she had given?<\/p>\n

Now, she saw hope.<\/p>\n

Although she had brought up the issue of sharing a bed with him to demand he take responsibility, the best outcome would be for him to willingly marry her\u2014only then could she be happy.<\/p>\n

Forced relationships are never sweet, He Yuehua knew this, so after Dr. Lin didn\u2019t explicitly agree to take responsibility, she stopped using the issue of sharing a bed with him.<\/p>\n

Dr. Lin\u2019s parents preferred her; that was her hope. Dr. Lin was a filial son; he would listen to his parents\u2019 advice.<\/p>\n

Lin\u2019s mother grasped He Yuehua\u2019s hand and said softly, \u201cYuehua, in Auntie\u2019s eyes, you\u2019re better than Dr. Zeng.\u201d<\/p>\n

The old lady beside her, hearing Lin\u2019s mother\u2019s words, recognized the woman as the family member of her grandson\u2019s rival. She turned to look at Lin\u2019s mother and smiled, asking, \u201cDid you also get an appointment with Dr. Zeng?\u201d<\/p>\n

Lin\u2019s mother nodded, noticing the old lady\u2019s kind face and dignified air, and realized she was no ordinary person.<\/p>\n

She asked, \u201cAre you alone? Didn\u2019t your children or grandchildren accompany you to the doctor?\u201d<\/p>\n

Could this dignified old lady\u2019s life be less comfortable than hers?<\/p>\n

\u201cMy grandson accompanied me. I\u2019m not here for a doctor\u2019s appointment; I just came for a checkup yesterday. I\u2019ll get some of the results today, and I wanted to ask Dr. Zeng to take a look. My grandson went to get the results for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lin\u2019s mother smiled. \u201cOh, I see. I also came for a checkup. Dr. Zeng and my son are alumni; they\u2019re senior and junior.\u201d<\/p>\n

She boasted about her son\u2019s acquaintance with Zeng Xiaoya.<\/p>\n

The old lady said \u201cOh,\u201d and then asked, \u201cDoes your son also work at this hospital?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe doesn\u2019t work at the hospital; he runs his own clinic.\u201d<\/p>\n

The old lady praised him, \u201cThat\u2019s great! Running your own clinic and making a name for yourself earns more than working at the hospital. Is that your son?\u201d<\/p>\n

She looked at Dr. Lin.<\/p>\n

Lin\u2019s mother nodded, \u201cThat\u2019s my son.\u201d<\/p>\n

The old lady then looked at He Yuehua, sizing her up, and asked Lin\u2019s mother, \u201cIs this your daughter-in-law? She and your son look a bit like a married couple.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYuehua? She\u2019s not my daughter-in-law yet, maybe not in the future. Really? They do look like a married couple? I haven\u2019t looked closely, but I really like Yuehua.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lin\u2019s mother held He Yuehua\u2019s hand, \u201cYuehua is very good to me. Every time I come for a checkup, Yuehua accompanies me to the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n

He Yuehua smiled, \u201cAuntie, it\u2019s what I should do.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was also very gentle with the old lady because the old lady said she and Dr. Lin looked like a married couple.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just said your son\u2019s girlfriend is better than Dr. Zeng?\u201d the old lady asked,<\/p>\n

looking gossipy.<\/p>\n

Lin\u2019s mother looked a little embarrassed, and quickly said, \u201cIn my eyes, Yuehua is excellent. Dr. Zeng, old lady, to be honest, my son likes his junior, Dr. Zeng.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lin\u2019s mother whispered the last few words in the old lady\u2019s ear, not wanting anyone else to hear.<\/p>\n

She whispered, \u201cDr. Zeng comes from a good family, but I don\u2019t think she\u2019s good at managing a household. She\u2019s not as good at<\/p>\n

managing a household as Yuehua. My husband and I prefer Yuehua, but my son is still hung up on Dr. Zeng.\u201d The old lady also whispered, \u201cDr. Zeng is very busy with work, so she probably doesn\u2019t have time to take care of her family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think so too. My son is a doctor himself, and he\u2019s busy too. If he marries someone equally busy, what will happen to their little family? I\u2019m not trying to belittle Dr. Zeng, but unless she marries into a wealthy family and becomes a pampered wife, she\u2019ll likely be looked down upon on blind dates.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ll think she doesn\u2019t have time to take care of her family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just don\u2019t know if Dr. Zeng is destined to marry into a wealthy family and become a pampered wife. If she chooses my son, it would be a good match.\u201d<\/p>\n

The old lady smiled inwardly. Lin\u2019s mother was trying to have it both ways\u2014she wanted He Yuehua as her daughter-in-law, and she also wanted Zeng Xiaoya. She valued He Yuehua\u2019s ability to manage a household, and she valued Zeng Xiaoya\u2019s family background.<\/p>\n
