"But I'm sorry..." Nian Weiguo picked up the coffee and took a sip, "It's bitter, just like life."
After saying this seemingly right and wrong, Nian Weiguo put down the cup, looked at Shen Tong with a sincere look and said, "Although what I said may be a bit cruel to Miss Shen, please understand. I pity the love of parents in the world. I want the best for my son, including his wife. I hope he can have the best, most suitable, and helpful wife, not someone like Miss Shen. So, as his father, I oppose you two being together."
His eyes and expression were sincere, and Nian Weiguo spoke very sincerely, fully demonstrating the old father's deep love for his children.
Shen Tong felt miserable. She knew that they were a perfect match! His parents wouldn't like her, but they were already together, so she had to fight for herself.
"Mr. Nian, it's your son who's getting married, not you. The choice should be his."
"But Miss Shen, if you had a child, would you watch him make mistakes and do nothing? As a parent, when you find that your child is going down the wrong path, you must correct him immediately to prevent him from going astray. As a father, I can't watch my son make a mistake in such an important matter as marriage."
"But he is an adult, and adults have the ability to think independently. This is his life, and he should make his own choices. As parents, we should not interfere too much." Shen Tong retorted firmly.
Nian Weiguo was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "You're right. Adults should have their own freedom in life. I think being with you is wrong, but my son now thinks it's right. As for who is right and who is wrong, it's hard to say. Only time will tell. In that case, let's change the way we say it."
"I'm a father, and I only have one son, Jiarui. So, no matter what I do, my original intention is always for his good. But what about you, Miss Shen? You keep saying that you love him, but don't you think that your love is selfish? Your so-called love is a burden, a bondage, an obstacle, and a resistance on his way forward!
An eagle should spread its wings and fly high in the sky, instead of folding its wings to be with sparrows, becoming lost in the crowd, doing nothing, and forever losing the ability to soar into the sky.
"Ms. Shen, I think true love should be about fulfillment and letting go. If you love him, you should think about him! So, do you really love him?"
"I..." For a moment, Chen Tong was speechless, and even felt a little embarrassed and guilty. In fact, all along, she had only loved herself. She just accepted Nian Jiarui's love and never gave anything in return.
As his father said, she really had no right to say she loved him.
"If you really love him, please leave him! He has no future with you. I don't think Jiarui told you that our company has big problems and needs a strong ally to overcome the difficulties. As long as he marries Ning Qing, this dilemma can be solved." Seeing that Shen Tong was loosening up, Nian Weiguo continued to exaggerate.
"But a marriage based on convenience will never be happy."
Shen Tong suddenly understood. She was sad that Nian Jiarui had been so busy in recent months. Every time she saw him, he looked so worried. She had never expected him to be under so much pressure. However, she did not agree with sacrificing one's happiness for money.
"No, you're wrong. A poor couple has many sorrows. Love is only temporary after all and has a shelf life. Only a marriage based on interests is the most solid. Ning Qing is the most suitable person for Jiarui, so I hope Miss Shen can take the initiative to withdraw and end this mistake."
mistake!
Hearing this word, Shen Tong felt a sharp pain in her heart, and she roared uncontrollably, "Yes, it was a mistake. He and I were a mistake! I know that I come from a poor background, I have nothing, and I'm not worthy of him! I know, I know it all! You all oppose us being together, I know, I guessed it a long time ago! I can understand you as a parent too!"
But why did you wait until now? Why? Why did you wait until now to correct this mistake?
Why did you have to wait until he had been pestering me for so long, why did you have to wait until we were together, and why did you have to appear after I fell in love with him!
You have to understand one thing: I was living a good life before, but your son suddenly showed up and started pestering me! Why didn't you stop him then?
Why is everything now my fault? What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong? "
Shen Tong lost control of her emotions and couldn't help crying.
She has been very conflicted all the time. She finally made up her mind to be together, but his parents jumped out to oppose them. It was neither too early nor too late, the timing was perfect.
Haha, is it God’s will?
Nian Weiguo handed over a tissue very gentlemanly. "I only found out about your situation a couple of days ago. I didn't discipline him sooner, and I'm very sorry for that. Jiarui is young and naive, and he's caused you trouble. I will make amends on his behalf."
Wiping away tears, Shen Tong couldn't help but shouted again, "I don't need compensation, I'm not with him for money!"
"I know, but compensation is what we should do."
Taking a deep breath, Shen Tong said seriously, "Mr. Nian, if you want us to break up, then go and tell your son. If Nian Jiarui wants to break up with me, I will definitely not try to keep him!"
"Jiarui is young and easily influenced by emotions. There's no way he'll break up with you now." Nian Weiguo sighed and continued to reason with her. "But have you thought about the future? Even if Jiarui married you against all odds, we don't like you. Marriages without parental blessing are more likely to end in tragedy."
