An Jinli's words brought back the most unbearable and most unwilling-to-face past events in Xue Lier's memory.
Xue Li'er's father, Xue Yi, is a man of little ability, and he struggles to support his family by relying on the little family business passed down from his father.
Xue Li'er's grandfather had said that the Xue family was very prosperous in the imperial capital during her great-grandfather's generation. Even though the family wasn't as prosperous as it once was during her grandfather's generation due to the war, they still had some influence in the imperial capital.
Xue Li'er's father, Xue Yi, was the only male in the Xue family and was spoiled since childhood. This made him indecisive, unable to endure hardship, and fond of showing off.
The Xue family's fortune was quite substantial when it passed to Xue Yi. However, Xue Yi lacked business acumen, and within just ten years, he suffered significant losses. By the time Xue Li'er grew up, the Xue family had become a small, undervalued company in the imperial capital.
Xue Yi was unwilling to accept that he had gone from being the powerful young master Xue who could call the shots in the imperial capital to being the old Xue who was ignored by everyone.
Therefore, he taught Xue Li'er since she was a child that she should marry into a wealthy family in the imperial capital, so that Xue Li'er could restore the glory of the Xue family.
When Xue Li'er was sixteen or seventeen years old, Xue Yi couldn't wait to have her attend gatherings of wealthy young men, hoping to choose a future son-in-law as soon as possible.
The reason why Xue Li'er was sent abroad was because the next generation of the Imperial Capital Dihao family was studying there, and they wanted Xue Li'er to find someone as soon as possible.
Xue Li'er has always strived for success. To satisfy her father, who was prone to losing control of his emotions, she has been very good at reading people's expressions since she was a child.
So when Xue Lier went abroad and met Nan Xun for the first time, she launched an attack on Nan Xun. Finally, through her unremitting efforts, she finally won Nan Xun.
Back then, Nanyu wasn't as big as it is now. There were many companies in the capital that were better and bigger than Nanyu.
When Xue Yi found out that Xue Li'er liked Nan Xun, he was very dissatisfied. Even though Nan Yu was already many times bigger than the Xue family's small company, he still felt that Xue Li'er should find someone better.
So during the time Xue Li'er was dating Nan Xun, she still had to attend the blind dates arranged for her by Xue Yi.
Xue Li'er was still young at the time and was afraid that Nanxun would not be able to give her everything she wanted, just as Xue Yi said. So she obediently attended various parties and blind dates, hoping to find a better home.
But where else in the world is there a man like Nanxun?
Those second and third generations are either living a life of drunkenness or taking drugs abroad.
Whenever Xue Lier was with other men, she couldn't help but compare him with Nan Xun.
Those men didn't really want to date Xue Li'er. They treated women with a casual attitude. Only Nan Xun didn't mind her family background, let alone laugh at her father's incompetence.
Where else could she find a man as handsome, intelligent, and gentlemanly as Nan Xun? Even if Xue Yi arranged more men for Xue Li'er to go on blind dates with, Xue Li'er still couldn't let go of Nan Xun.
So no matter how Xue Yi belittled Nan Xun and insulted Xue Li'er, Xue Li'er still insisted on being with Nan Xun.
Xue Yi couldn't persuade his daughter and finally agreed to let her be with Nan Xun, but the condition was that Xue Li'er used Nan Xun's girlfriend's identity to steal some of Nan Yu's business secrets.
In order to be with Nanxun, Xue Lier had no choice but to do what Xue Yi said.
Even though she knew that she was being unfair to Nan Xun, Xue Li'er still used her relationship with Nan Xun to get Nan Yu's secrets from him.
Nan Xun trusts Xue Lier 100% and will tell her anything she wants to know.
