Meng Yanran knew it wasn't right, but her mother had convinced her that Xu Wenyang could never give her the security she needed in life. The way he handled his business wasn't ideal and was prone to massive losses, something Meng Yanran and her mother weren't ready to face in the future.
Because of her mother's insistence, Meng Yanran had to decline Xu Wenyang's proposal and had chosen his uncle instead. She knew what she had done wasn't right, but she was in no position to contradict her mother and wasn't as courageous as her cousin, Lin Qianrou.

She had no idea why she thought she would be able to please her mother by marrying Xu Wenyang's uncle. Look what she had gotten herself into?
