Dr. Lin said self-deprecatingly, “That’s true. What bad things did Mr. Zhan say about me? Did he say I was two-timing or that I was penniless and powerless?”


    “I never said anything about two-timing. I didn’t even know about your rtionship with Miss He. And Dr. Lin can’t be said to be penniless and powerless,”


    Zhan Yue said. “Dr. Lin, don’t base your love on money and power. Love is pure.”


    “Dr. Lin, do you think I defeated you because of my family background? You’re wrong. It wasn’t my family background that defeated you, but your own shorings,”


    Dr. Lin said. “Xiaoya hasn’t epted Mr. Zhan yet, and Mr. Zhan hasn’t even confessed. How could he defeat me? I haven’t lost yet.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “Yes, Dr. Lin hasn’t lost yet, but is Dr. Lin confident of victory?”


    “Dr. Lin, you are actually a very outstanding person. You’ve achieved your current wealth through your own efforts, which is quite impressive for an ordinary person.”


    “It’s understandable that your family is proud of you, but you shouldn’t hesitate when ites to love. Cut ties decisively. If you don’t love Miss He, refuse herpletely and let her give up on you.”


    “But you didn’t. You gave Miss He hope, so this one thing destined Xiaoya not to choose you. Because of her past heartbreak, she’s be extremely cautious about rtionships and won’t easily give her heart away again.”


    “She’d avoid a man like you like the gue, afraid you’ll end up like her first love.”


    “And then there are your parents. Dr. Lin, do you know your parents’ true feelings towards Xiaoya? Do you remember years ago, when Xiaoya, as your junior, visited your hospitalized mother, how did your mother treat Xiaoya?” “Oh


    , you probably don’t know. Xiaoya said your mother sent you away. She told Xiaoya to take leave and stay at the hospital to take care of her, not to trouble you, not to tire you out, but to trouble a young girl she’d just met, and to tire Xiaoya out.”


    Dr. Lin was taken aback.


    “When did this happen? I don’t know. My mother didn’t tell me, and Xiaoya didn’t tell me either.””It seems to be about your mother’s hospitalization. I heard it from Xiaoya. Your mother misunderstood your rtionship with Xiaoya. When Xiaoya visited her, she assumed you two were a couple. But even if you were, your mother shouldn’t have said that.”


    “She’s sick and hospitalized. You’re her son; taking care of her is your duty, your filial piety. Yet she wants Xiaoya to do it in your ce.”


    “If you and Xiaoya were really together, she would definitely be a wicked mother-inw. She’d act all nice to you, but behind your back, she’d scheme against Xiaoya.”


    “She’d make Xiaoya do everything, worried about tiring you out. She’d interfere in your little family life, meddling in everything, and demanding Xiaoya’s sacrifices—the kind of person you’d expect.”


    “Xiaoya doesn’t love you, she hasn’t epted your feelings, not just because of you, but also because of your family background, your parents’ attitude towards her.”


    “Anyone with a brain wouldn’t choose you. They don’t want to fight with your mother every day after marriage. You’re the only sessful person in your family, supported by the entire family. You’re carrying too much burden.”


    “This also means you’re destined to be someone who won’t argue or quarrel with your parents for the sake of your wife. So, any woman who marries you, unless she has enough ability to control your parents, will not marry you.”


    Zhan Yue ignored Dr. Lin’s pale face and continued, “Xiao Ya told you many times when she rejected you, right? She said that her rejection wasn’t my fault, and it really wasn’t my fault.”


    “Xiao Ya and I haven’t known each other for very long, but you’ve known each other for several years, and you’re even ssmates. She understands you as a person and your family. She’s kind, but not weak; she’s very clear-headed.”


    “Dr. Lin’s parents are still with you. Have they everined or criticized Xiao Ya in front of you? Have they ever thought that Xiao Ya doesn’t know how to manage a household and isn’t as good as Miss He?”


    Dr. Lin’s face turned even paler.


    Zhan Yue knew that her parents had said those things.
