You\u2019re her senior from school. Your dad and I have been here for several days, and she hasn\u2019t come to see us once, or even had a meal with us.\u201d \u201d<\/p>\n<p>She doesn\u2019t respect us at all. Such an arrogant and disrespectful woman, wanting to marry into a wealthy family? Pah! Even our family would look down on her, let alone a wealthy family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Lin said helplessly, \u201cMom, please stop saying these things. She only sees me as a senior from school, a normal relationship. She doesn\u2019t owe me anything, so why would she come to help me during her vacation?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe always helps her second uncle when she has free time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe rejected me completely, so why would she come to have dinner with you just because Mom and Dad are here? Wouldn\u2019t that give me hope?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Lin paused for a moment, then sighed. \u201cMom, don\u2019t speak ill of Xiaoya anymore. She didn\u2019t do anything wrong. Where she goes with Young Master Zhan is her freedom. She\u2019s no one to us, and we can\u2019t control her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was initially unwilling to accept this, but ever since he learned that his rival was the eighth young master of the Zhan family, the richest family in the world, Dr. Lin knew he had no chance.<\/p>\n<p>He had thought a lot these past few days and observed He Yuehua\u2019s attitude towards her parents. His mother wasn\u2019t a bad person, but sometimes her words were hurtful and she could be a bit dramatic; most people probably couldn\u2019t get along with her.<\/p>\n<p>But He Yuehua got along very well with her parents. Apart from slightly disliking He Yuehua\u2019s family background, her parents had no complaints about her and strongly urged him to choose her.<\/p>\n<p>Although Dr. Lin still couldn\u2019t let go of his feelings for Zeng Xiaoya, he had already made his choice.<\/p>\n<p>A woman who wasn\u2019t meant for him, he might not be able to win over even if he pursued her relentlessly.<\/p>\n<p>Xiaoya said that someone loves him and advised him to cherish the person in front of him.<\/p>\n<p>He should choose He Yuehua instead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan\u2019t I even say a few words? She\u2019s too lucky,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lin\u2019s mother whispered. \u201cShe\u2019s not some stunning beauty, so how did the young master of the Zhan family take a liking to her?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her son is so outstanding, why doesn\u2019t any rich heiress fancy him?Dr. Lin remained silent.<\/p>\n<p>The connections between people are hard to explain.<\/p>\n<p>He and Zeng Xiaoya had known each other for years, and he loved her, but they were destined not to be together.<\/p>\n<p>Zeng Xiaoya and Zhan Yue, on the other hand, had only known each other for a short time, and they were already inseparable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYuehua is quite good too, it\u2019s just that her family\u2019s circumstances aren\u2019t as good as ours. Sigh, why doesn\u2019t any rich girl want you? My son is so outstanding,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lin\u2019s mother muttered softly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, you and Dad can\u2019t help here. Take the groceries home first. Yuehua is busy, so you two cook lunch. Yuehua\u2019s been tired these past few days; it\u2019ll be good for her to try your cooking,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lin\u2019s mother knew her son didn\u2019t want to hear her nagging.<\/p>\n<p>Giving her son face, she got up, called to her husband, and left with the groceries from the supermarket. Only<\/p>\n<p>after his parents left could Dr. Lin finally have some peace and quiet.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Lin didn\u2019t want to say much about his mother\u2019s jealousy of Zeng Xiaoya. He himself had found it hard to accept when he first learned Zhan Yue was the young master of the Zhan family, and he complained bitterly, wondering why he hadn\u2019t been given the status of a wealthy young master.<\/p>\n<p>Zeng Xiaoya was unaware of the Lin family\u2019s affairs and wouldn\u2019t dwell on them. She had already clearly rejected Lin Xuechang multiple times, and unlike He Yuehua, she wouldn\u2019t fawn over Lin\u2019s parents.<\/p>\n<p>She sat in Zhan Yue\u2019s car, heading towards his home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy grandma woke me up early this morning to come pick you up, afraid you wouldn\u2019t know the way,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zhan Yue said to Zeng Xiaoya as he drove. \u201cGrandma was afraid you\u2019d forgotten what you promised her. We\u2019re usually too busy to spend time with her. The older Grandma gets, the more she likes to have someone to chat with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe said she\u2019s afraid of being lonely, and she doesn\u2019t have the energy to go out and play with friends like she used to. \u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWhy didn\u2019t she come to help you during her vacation?
