“It’s true that Shen Dingkun was extremely kind to you, but I never considered him a good person. Does being nice to you absolve Shen Dingkun of any wrongdoing? Is he a good person? He caused my parents to lose their jobs and almost drove me to desperation because I disrespected him. His one thought became another source of my tragedy. If it weren’t for the fact that he harmed my parents, I wouldn’t have done certain things or gotten entangled with other people.”

"So you don't need to worry. I won't treat my enemy like a master, as you might think. We have no relationship to begin with. The reason he asked me to look after your daughter is because you treat her so badly. You treat your daughter like an enemy, and she needs a mother to be her role model."

Zhao Mingyao finally lost her temper: "Do we need you to set an example? Do you think you're something special? Don't try to glorify yourself!"

Jiang Tian smiled slightly: "Have you ever thought that one day you would be abandoned by everyone? To be honest, your daughter still loves you very much. It's hard for a child not to love their parents. But if you continue like this, you will never learn to be a mother and will only be immersed in your 'victim' identity. Then one day she will leave you. You should raise her well, and that's all."

Zhao Mingyao hates it when people talk about her daughter.

It was because she treated her daughter badly that her husband found out, which led to all this trouble.

She was starting to feel overwhelmed; it was probably due to stress.

"I need you to teach me how to raise my daughter? You're kidding me. I'm a mother of two, and I know better than you how to keep kids happy!"

Jiang Tian even smiled and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense. Then I have to ask you something else—if you know you're a mother, why are you so mean to your daughter? Many people have children, but they become 'negative examples.' They treat their children as hostages, as necessary collateral for living in this family. Where is their humanity? I think you are one of them."

Zhao Mingyao's face turned ashen: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Is it a blessing for your daughter to be born into that kind of family? That's ridiculous. I can only say that it's fortunate she has a father who takes care of her. If even her father were like you, her fate would be far more 'miserable' than it is now."

Zhao Mingyao was speechless.

Does Jiang Tian know that there are many people in this world who live far worse lives than her daughter?

"Don't give me that nonsense! My daughter is miserable? Are you out of your mind saying that? My daughter is at a height that no one can reach, a height that countless people can never reach in their entire lives—you think she's miserable, then so be it, I don't want to say anything more to you..."

Zhao Mingyao had countless thoughts in her mind, but they all turned into a strange sense of guilt.

Anyway, the daughter is hers, and no one can take her place as a mother.

"I won't say any more. Just leave. I don't want to talk to you anymore. I've already made myself clear. If you still think that's how you should treat your daughter, then I have nothing more to say. I will tell her that real mothers in the world are not like you."

Zhao Mingyao was furious and retorted through gritted teeth, "Then what about you? Why are you pretending again? Wei Su wants to marry you, but you won't. How many people actually believe what you're saying? I certainly don't. If a rich second-generation guy says he wants to marry you, you'd practically sell yourself to him. Aren't you just a vain person too?"

Zhao Mingyao seemed to have grasped something, her expression growing increasingly ferocious. "So, your boyfriend is so good to you, so you're definitely going to marry him, right? You can't not marry him, how could you face him like that? He's shouldered so much pressure for you, and he's so young to be with you. If you've been deceived by him, and you don't marry him, you're simply an animal!"

Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, Zhao Mingyao watched as Jiang Tian turned around and glanced back.

Sure enough, she saw Wei Su, who had rushed back, looking travel-worn.

Wei Su still had a smile on his face, clearly having heard what Zhao Mingyao had just said.

Zhao Mingyao was furious—she hadn't expected Jiang Tian to be so perceptive.

She was originally saying these words to Wei Su.

Now look what happened; the provocation failed, and she's lost her momentum.

Zhao Mingyao suddenly deflated.

Regarding her marriage, it was a long-term battle between her and Shen Dingkun, but in between the battles, she also wanted to see how this "mismatched couple" would end.

How could Jiang Tian possibly find happiness?

Such a narrow-minded woman.

“You should go back first, Ms. Zhao,” Wei Su said to Zhao Mingyao. “Our affairs are none of your business, nor do we need you to stir up trouble. You’ll only push your husband further away. Mind your own business first.”

Wei Su's expression was indifferent; he didn't take Zhao Mingyao seriously at all.

When he warned Zhao Mingyao, he even stared at Jiang Tian while speaking.

Zhao Mingyao's smile froze.

"Didn't you hear what she said? She doesn't want to marry you at all. She has her own life plans and doesn't need you to worry about her."

Zhao Mingyao is really annoying. She hates a lot of people, and she doesn't even know what she wants anymore.

"If you don't want to leave, I can call security."

Wei Su's tone remained calm and indifferent.

Zhao Mingyao's expression changed again—she didn't want to lose face. Over the years, when a person "possesses" too much, they are even more afraid of losing their dignity.

After a long silence, she gritted her teeth and finally started to walk out.

Once she left, Wei Su's gaze finally fell on Jiang Tian.

"Let's go home first."

Jiang Tian said to him.

Wei Su nodded.

Once the door is closed, they will have their own private space.

"Actually, I heard everything. You said you didn't want to marry me, and I want to know why."

It wasn't until these two people were there that Wei Su's vulnerability was exposed.

How could he not be vulnerable and sad?

After finally resolving all the troubles, he planned to return to be with Jiang Tian forever, but then he heard her say that she didn't want to marry him.

Wei Su wondered if he had misheard.

If she hadn't misheard, why would Jiang Tian have such a thought?

The perfect ending is when lovers are united in marriage.

Jiang Tian simply said to him, "Take off your coat first. Are you tired from the journey?"

She seemed very tolerant and caring towards him.

However, she deliberately avoided answering his questions.

Wei Su's heart sank little by little.

He looked at Jiang Tian: "Why don't you dare to answer my question directly? Do you really not want to marry me?"

His questioning eventually made Jiang Tian slowly raise her head.

The two people looked at each other.

Jiang Tian slowly looked at him and nodded: "Yes, you heard me right. I just don't want to marry you. From the beginning, I never planned to marry you. It's good to make it clear now. Anyway, the choice is in your hands."

A look of hurt flashed in Wei Su's eyes, and his lips turned pale: "Why?"
