Ming Ansheng and Su Yue weren't supposed to get together at all. She was Third Yan's cousin.
It was purely his 'ulterior motive'.
"No, I don't want to." Su Yue's face fell and she turned away like a child throwing a tantrum. "I don't want to go to school. I'm never going back."
She laid on the couch, her body huddled. She buried her head with a cushion.
Ming Ansheng inched nearer to her and patted her gently. "You're only 18 years old. What else can you do besides going to school?"
He bent and squatted next to Su Yue and continued to advise her. "Those gossips are unimportant since those people are merely strangers. Why do you have to care about their opinions?"
He continued, "They are jealous of you for being so outstanding and well-liked by everyone. If you drop out of school because of them, then they would have achieved their goal."
"Uncle Ming, will you despise me for being an illegitimate child?"
Su Yue began to sob.
