Jiang's father looked around to make sure no one was listening before he said, "I asked you to marry Xue Man because she was the only daughter of the Xue family. But now, she's a wild girl with an unknown background. Even if Xue Chongshan and his wife felt sorry for her, they wouldn't hand the Xue family over to her. What's the point of you marrying her?"
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a long time before he understood what his father meant.
After all, Jiang's father had always shown that he loved Xue Man very much. He also told him not to do anything stupid outside and to wait patiently for his marriage to Xue Man.
He thought that Jiang's father really loved Xue Man, but it was not until this moment that he realized that what Jiang's father liked was the only daughter of the Xue family who would inherit the Xue family, not Xue Man.
He suddenly felt sad for Xue Man because he didn't come.
If Xue Man was still as willful as before, he wouldn't have such strong feelings.
But after hearing Xue Man's confession at the banquet just now, he felt a little more pity in his heart.

upstairs
Su Man paused changing her clothes when she heard the prompt tone, and she smiled and shook her head.
Just then, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
After opening the door, Chen Wanli seemed to be hesitant to speak to her.
"Mom, you're here. Come in."
Su Man poured Chen Wanli a glass of water and sat down next to her. "Why are you here? Don't you need to entertain the guests?"
Chen Wanli clenched the peach-pink cup in her hand, her fingertips rubbing the cup. "The guests have all left, I came up to see you."
There was a travel bag on the bed. It didn't have much in it and looked empty.
Chen Wanli hesitated and asked, "Are you really going to move out?"
Su Man nodded, "Yes."
Chen Wanli's eyes were filled with tears. "Xiaoman, although we are not related by blood, I have always treated you as my own daughter for more than twenty years. I know that I have neglected you because of Xiaoxiao, but I owe her too much, so I, I..."
"I know. I know everything."
Su Man wiped Chen Wanli's tears with a tissue and said softly, "I don't blame you for ignoring me. I know it's hard for you to maintain a balance between me and Xiaoxiao. I just want to move out for a while so that Xiaoxiao can have some space to be close to you."
At this moment, there was no complaint on Su Man's face, but a sincere look instead.
Chen Wanli's eyes welled up with tears. "Really?"
Su Man joked, "Of course it's true, and I've lived with my parents for more than 20 years. It's time for Xiaoxiao to experience what it's like to be a little princess."
Chen Wanli burst into laughter, "You little girl."
She wiped away her tears and said with emotion, "Xiaoman, you have grown up."
Su Man nodded and said, "Yes, thank you mom for raising me."
Chen Wanli shook her head. "That's not what I meant. I used to think you would be my only daughter. I let you do whatever you wanted and spoiled you. I secretly thought that no matter whether you were in the Xue family or the Jiang family, you could be a little princess for the rest of your life. But I didn't expect such a change to happen. If I had known this would happen, I would have taught you well..."
Su Man understood what Chen Wanli meant.
She protected Xue Man too well. Although Xue Man lived a happy life, she could do nothing without the Xue family, and she didn't even have the ability to stand on her own feet.
If the Xue family could protect her for her whole life, it would be a kind of happiness.
But now, the real little princess is back. How will she cope with the situation when she has always been dependent on her parents?
Chen Wanli took Su Man's hand and said seriously, "If you want to leave, Mom won't stop you. Leave after your birthday at the end of the month. It will be considered as Mom's farewell to you."
Looking at Chen Wanli's pleading eyes, Su Man nodded, "Okay."
