Sheng Yue’s pupils constricted as she stared at her mother blankly.
To be honest, she wasn’t very decisive about this matter. However, she couldn’t stop Old Madam Sheng from brainwashing her.
She also understood that she was now fatherless and motherless. In the future, when the Sheng family split the family’s assets, Sheng An would definitely get a share. As for her, she might not get a single cent. No one would stand up for her. Although her father, Sheng Tai, was still alive, he was practically dead to her. She had no one to rely on.
Although she was a student of Huaxia University, one of the top universities in the country, she had been raised by the standards of a young lady since she was young. How long would she have to work hard to live the life she had always lived? Perhaps in her next life…
Most importantly, she didn’t want to be compared to Sheng Yang anymore!
She hated Jiang Xinyi and hated her for ruining everything. However, she did not realize that she had unknowingly become someone she hated.
Back then, Jiang Xinyi was so jealous of Kang Weizhen and wanted to compete with her in everything. Because of this, she didn’t hesitate to sacrifice her future, her marriage, and half of her life…
So, Old Madam Sheng was right. Marriage was the best opportunity. The sooner the better. A woman’s value would depreciate over the years. She should seize the opportunity when she had the chance. Otherwise, it would never happen again.
Jiang Xinyi maintained her smile. “I already know who you’re getting married to. You did well.”
Sheng Yue’s wavering heart suddenly stopped. She looked at her and repeated with difficulty, “I did well?”
“Yes, the Han family is indeed the best choice, especially that man. You can firmly step on those people you hate. This is your only chance.”
Sheng Yue bit her lip. Even though she had already made up her mind, she honestly did not like Jiang Xinyi approving her decision.
This meant that she had never been truly loved by anyone…
She thought that after the divorce, Jiang Xinyi would regret it. She thought…
“What if I don’t want to marry?” Sheng Yue’s eyes were glistening with tears.
Jiang Xinyi panicked. “Yueyue, don’t do anything stupid. There won’t be an opportunity like this again.”
“Haha, regardless of whether I marry or not, you won’t get any benefits.” Sheng Yue widened her eyes. “Don’t tell me you’re so naive to think that I’ll bring you back to live a good life with me after I marry?”
Even though Jiang Xinyi had indeed thought of it, seeing Sheng Yue in this state, she knew her wish would not come true. She smiled. “It doesn’t matter. As long as my daughter marries someone better than her daughter, I’ll be happy enough. At least I didn’t lose. Yueyue, I know you, and I understand you. You don’t want to lose to Sheng Yang at all. Even if you have the slightest chance, you want to make a comeback.”
Sheng Yue felt a sharp pain in her heart. She hated it when Jiang Xinyi was right.
Even if Jiang Xinyi was right, she did not want these words to come out of Jiang Xinyi’s mouth at all.
Sheng Yue turned around and walked in the opposite direction. Jiang Xinyi’s voice could be heard behind her. “Yueyue, you must get engaged. Don’t miss this opportunity. Look at me now. If you choose wrongly this time, you’ll end up like me in the future.”
“…”
***
After a week of rest, Sheng Yang could finally write her thesis to her heart’s content. She didn’t know how many times the editor-in-chief had urged her.
Of course, being rushed was not important. What was important was that this week, her happiness was gone.
