They all realized that.
When Lu Wen faced them, his politeness was mixed with a slight distance and a hint of arrogance.
They could clearly see that this was not the behavior of a man proposing marriage to the girl he loved.
Unfortunately, Xiaxia didn't realize it.
"Auntie, how come you've become as mercenary as my mother?"
As the old saying goes, never underestimate a young person's potential!
A person cannot choose their birth, but they can change their future through their own abilities.
He's a capable man, and I believe he won't stay poor forever! Xia Xia clenched her fists tightly, her emotions running high.
She now firmly believes that they only look down on Lu Wen because he is poor.
Gu Yanliu said, "How are we mercenaries? We're just stating the facts. Besides, child, how can you talk to your own family like that?"
"Aunt, I think you should be the one in this family who understands me the most."
So many people recommended marriage to you back then, weren't they all doing it for your own good? So why didn't you compromise?
He waited until he was thirty to get married in order to find a man he liked.
I only like Lu Wen, can't you put yourself in my shoes and think about things from my perspective? Why do you have to keep obstructing me like this?
Gu Yanliu...
She seemed unable to refute that statement!
She suffered a complete defeat this time, and it seems there's no reason for me to advise her anymore.
Seeing this, Su Nianxue shook her head inwardly, a hint of disappointment in her eyes, "We've protected you too well."
Over the years, you have had no worries about food and clothing, and we have tried our best to satisfy whatever you want.
I've never let you suffer any hardship, nor have I let you experience the bitterness of life.
Changing the future is no easy task. It's not something that can be accomplished overnight or with just a few words!
"Why is it not easy?"
Mom, have you forgotten that you and Dad started from nothing and worked your way up to where you are today?
What, you've had a good life for too long now, so you've started to look down on poor people.
Tell me, what else is this but snobbery?
"What? You're allowed to turn things around, but others aren't allowed to make a comeback?" Xia Xia said in a fit of anger.
Anger flashed in Su Nianxue's eyes. No matter how much she was told, why couldn't she listen?
"Gu Yusu, are you out of your mind? You actually compared him to your dad? What makes him worthy of being compared to your dad? He's not even worthy!"
In her heart, Gu Yanbai had become the most important person in the world.
She didn't think anyone could compare to Gu Yanbai at all.
Moreover, she had never thought highly of Lu Wen from the beginning, and when she heard her put him together with Gu Yanbai, she instinctively retorted.
Xiaxia was stunned for a moment; it had been a long time since she had seen her mother so emotional.
However, she also felt that she had been hurt.
Her mother not only failed to respect her choice, but also criticized her boyfriend as worthless.
She was not convinced!
"Mom, you look down on people."
I was just using an analogy; I wasn't really comparing him to my dad.
Besides, how can you be so presumptuous and certain that Lu Wen will amount to nothing in the future? What if, in the future…”
She thought that, given time, Lu Wen might become a very capable person like his father.
However, after thinking about it, she ultimately didn't say it.
In her heart, her father is like heaven.
Although she also thought highly of Lu Wen, she privately felt that Lu Wen and her father were not the same type of person.
"When did I ever look down on anyone? I'm just stating the facts!"
"What if what? Tell me, why aren't you saying anything? I'm waiting to hear it!" Su Nianxue's face turned ashen with anger. This brat, how could he be so infuriating!
You're just looking down on people!
Just because the Lu family was poor, they rejected him outright.
"I don't care how outstanding he is, how good his character is, or how deep our feelings are." Xiaxia's face flushed red as she argued vehemently with Su Nianxue.
Su Nianxue: "He has good character? Then let me ask you, you provided all the start-up capital for your educational institution, right?"
"And what's with this 'a few classmates pooling their money' nonsense? You're all fresh out of school, where would you get the money? Do you really think we're easy to fool?"
Xia Xia froze, her aura deflated like a punctured balloon.
The situation is the same as what her mother said.
Gu Yanbai has always been generous and has never shortchanged his two children when it comes to money.
Therefore, Xiaxia has never been short of money.
When she learned that Lu Wen had this idea, she offered to find a way to provide the funding.
"He didn't contribute anything, yet he has the nerve to say that the organization belongs to him!"
Moreover, he spoke so eloquently, but if you ask me, his character is terrible! Su Nianxue's tone was tinged with disdain when she mentioned him.
"Mom, don't blame him, it was all my idea."
He's good-looking and talented; his only flaw is... he's poor.
I was afraid you would dislike him, and I didn't want him to get anxious or upset, so I did it..." Xia Xia said with a hint of embarrassment.
She knew it was dishonorable to give money from her family to others, but she had no other choice.
"Gu Yusu, I really don't know what to say to you."
Anyway, I'm making it clear that I will never agree to this marriage.
If you insist on marrying him, then you'll be...
"Alright, both of you calm down. Arguing won't solve anything." Seeing that things were about to get out of control, Gu Yanbai quickly stepped in as a peacemaker.
"Gu Yanbai, are you not pretending to be dead anymore?"
