Pan An took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts before responding to his mother.
"I understand father's concerns about our family's standing and reputation, but he should also understand that love knows no boundaries. Just like he fell in love with you, despite the differences in your backgrounds, I have fallen for Shu Xian."
Cai Li nodded in agreement.
"You're right, Pan An. Your father should know that relationships are built on mutual respect and understanding, not on material wealth or social status. Shu Xian is a remarkable person, and she has always been sincere and genuine in her interactions with us. If you talk to your father and explain how she has positively impacted your life, he might be more open to accepting your relationship."
Pan An's resolve strengthened as he listened to his mother's words.
