Shen Jiadan looked around at everyone's reactions, and at this moment, she too didn't know what to say, so she just stood there, speechless.
By now, Su Xiaowan had more or less understood, and with a hint of disappointment on her face, she looked at Shen Jiadan and said, "Dandan, I think, at that time, perhaps you were in a rush, or it was a spur-of-the-moment idea that came to you without thinking it through. All this is forgivable."
"But, these words are not to be said lightly. Everyone lives with their own pride and persistence, just like your parents, who want to find you a well-matched suitor from a family of officials. This is normal."
"There's nothing right or wrong about it, just different living environments. I can understand that, but while we understand the difficulties faced by your parents, you should also consider the challenges my second cousin faces."
