"Don't be nervous. Our family doesn't discriminate based on social status. You're being wronged by being with Xiao Mo. Your aunt also really wants you to marry into our family right away. However, your uncle and I have seen your performance on the variety show and know about the frustration you experienced in Xingheng."

We're all holding our breath, wanting those who used to look down on you to acknowledge your strength. Although going public with Xiao Mo will boost your popularity, you'll be labeled as part of the Fei family from now on.

No matter how well you perform or how hard you work, there will always be people who will reject you because of the Fei family, which is something we don't want to see. Therefore, we hope that your relationship can remain private for the time being.

We hope your value lies in yourself, not in becoming an appendage of the Fei family, like me, where in the end no one even remembers my name, only that I am Mrs. Fei.

Ye Su pushed Fei Mo away, sat down next to Jing Li, and, with tears in her eyes, held her hand and opened her heart to her.

It's not that I don't like Jing Li, it's just that I like her too much and feel sorry for this child, so I don't want her to suffer even the slightest grievance.

In Ye Su's era, strong women were looked down upon.

The Ye family is a family business. Ye Su had a strong ambition when she was young, but before she could make a name for herself in her career, something bad happened to the Ye family. Her parents died unexpectedly, and her awful relatives wanted nothing more than to kill her and take over the Ye family business.

During the most difficult time, Fei Haicheng, her childhood sweetheart, helped her fill the funding gap. She stabilized the Ye family business on her own, but others could not see her efforts and thought that she was able to save the Ye family business because Fei Haicheng helped her solve the economic crisis.

After marriage, she wanted to pursue her career, but apart from Fei Haicheng, everyone took it for granted that since she was married, she should stay at home and take care of her husband and children. What kind of woman would she be if she showed her face in public?

The lack of social acceptance ultimately forced Ye Su to leave the business world, transforming her from the despised CEO Ye into the respected Mrs. Fei. They naturally assumed that this was a woman's final destiny.

Fortunately, Fei Haicheng loved his wife dearly and remained devoted to her through thick and thin, never letting her suffer any hardship or upset.

Although I am happy, this regret can never be made up for.

Ye Su has always believed that women should not rely on men for everything, otherwise they will eventually lose themselves and become appendages of men.

She didn't want her regrets to repeat themselves in Jing Li's life. People only remembered her as Fei Mo's girlfriend, but they didn't remember that before she was Fei Mo's girlfriend, she was Jing Li, a completely independent individual.

"Of course, if you want to marry Xiao Mo now, we won't object. We won't restrict you too much after marriage, and you can still do whatever you want."

Fei Haicheng quickly added.

He knew his wife's regrets and respected Jing Li's choice.

However, if Jing Li continues to work in the entertainment industry after marriage, the effect will be greatly reduced.

There's a big difference between having a rumored relationship with Fei Mo and actually being in a relationship with Fei Mo.

Spreading rumors is just skirting the line; it will increase Jing Li's fan base and make more people aware of her existence—that's taking advantage of the situation.

If the relationship becomes official and she marries into a wealthy family, that's a different story.

People might even think that her frequent appearances on gigs are either because she's not favored by her husband's family, or because her husband's family is about to go bankrupt; otherwise, why would she work so hard?
