As soon as He Linze finished speaking, the voice of Su Lijin came from behind him,
"Ah Ze?"
Rushing over, Su Lijin said to He Linze, "Ah Ze, we can discuss this matter further. Xiaoyu is good at painting, and that's good for her, for you, and for our He's. You know that your father actually wants you to enter into a marriage alliance, but Mom hopes more for your happiness. Mom also likes Xiaoyu, and really hopes you two can be together. So, I think we should let Xiaoyu demonstrate her own value..."
"What value?" He Linze looked at her. "Is it about showcasing her value, or does the He family need an artist for a young madam?"
"Ah Ze..." Su Lijin paused, then continued, "The two are not in conflict. Do you really want Xiaoyu to just stay by your side and do nothing?"
"She can paint, but she should paint, not paint for your vanity," He Linze interrupted her. "She is my person, and only I can arrange her life."
Su Lijin was instantly speechless.
