He Yuehua used the excuse of going to help Doctor Lin settle the bill and ended the call with Mother Lin.
She did not want to listen to those barbed remarks from Mother Lin.
In He Yuehua’s view, Mother Lin was a typical case of sour grapes.
She had already figured out the temperament of the Lin family. She could handle her relationship with them, but Doctor Zeng disdained having any dealings with the Lin family.
He Yuehua knew very well the temperament of Father Lin and Mother Lin and did not mind it. If she married Doctor Lin, the couple would still stay in the city to run their clinic after marriage, only returning to their hometown for a few days during festivals.
With just a few days, she could placate the Lin family and would not let them make things difficult for her during that time.
He Yuehua trusted her ability to handle these relationships, so even knowing what Doctor Lin’s original family was like, she still dared to fall in love with him and dared to live together with him.
After He Yuehua hung up, Mother Lin did not realise that He Yuehua disliked her harsh words and did not want to listen anymore. She said to her husband, “Yuehua has gone to the bar to pick up A Jian.”
“A Jian must have gone to the Zeng family again and seen Doctor Zeng together with the eighth young master of the Zhan family. He was hit hard and got jealous, so he ran off to the bar to drink. Yuehua even said this was not the first time.”
“He really is deeply devoted to Doctor Zeng.”
Mother Lin sighed. “But she does not love him at all. When he drinks and harms his body, who feels sorry for him. Only us as his parents will feel sorry for him.”
“Yuehua also has it hard. She feels sorry for A Jian too, but A Jian gets drunk because of Doctor Zeng, and he cannot see her goodness.”
The more Mother Lin thought about it, the more she felt that He Yuehua was good, suitable for her son, able to tolerate everything about him, and so caring towards him.
Unlike Zeng Xiaoya, who only brought harm to her son and made him sad and miserable.
Father Lin said, “If she does not love him, she will not feel sad. Doctor Zeng treats our A Jian as just an ordinary friend. It is A Jian who is wishful thinking and giving unilaterally. What can we do about it.”
The affectionate one often suffers more than the unfeeling one.
Who told their son to be so affectionate.
The pain of loving but not being loved back is something only those who have experienced it truly understand.
“Yuehua is the one who suits our family and suits A Jian. The Zeng family is still a bit too good for us. We cannot reach that level.”
“What do you mean cannot reach that level. Their Zeng family is not some wealthy noble clan. It is just a household full of doctors. What kind of good family background is that. She looks down on my son and thinks she can fly up and become a phoenix.”
“Men from wealthy families are the most heartless. How many of them do not have mistresses outside. Those who create a public image of loving couples for decades can still end up producing several illegitimate children to fight with the legitimate children for family assets.”
“Unless a man is completely incapable, if he has the opportunity, he will go looking elsewhere.”
“The suffering of marrying into a wealthy family is not something ordinary people can endure. Can Zeng Xiaoya endure that kind of suffering. A husband who leaves early and comes back late every day, even not coming home all night, often having to stay alone, like living as a widow.”
“So what if she has money to spend. She will be spiritually empty, and the mothers in law of wealthy families are fierce. She might even have to kneel every day to wash her mother in law’s feet.”
Knowing that her son had no chance anymore, Mother Lin spoke badly about Zeng Xiaoya without restraint.
Father Lin spoke to his wife, “Alright, stop complaining. You are just saying sour grapes.”
“Doctor Zeng does not love our son. Even if the young master of the Zhan family had not appeared, she still would not love him. That has nothing to do with the young master of the Zhan family. Whether the young master of the Zhan family is sincere towards her is their own matter. We cannot control that, nor do we have the right to.”
The Zhan family had a good family tradition, and it was said that the men of the Zhan family were all very devoted. Zeng Xiaoya might really be able to marry into the Zhan family and become a young madam.
Father Lin did not say this out loud. If he did, his wife would surely accuse him of siding with Zeng Xiaoya.
But indeed, his son had no hope of marrying Zeng Xiaoya anymore. It would be better to persuade his son to get together with Yuehua as soon as possible.
