"Ah? Teacher Xu, if I say that... wouldn't it make Auntie dislike me a lot?"
Lin Feng said in surprise. Wasn't Teacher Xu intentionally setting him up to be despised and given cold looks, and looked down upon by Mother Xu?
"That's exactly what I want—to make my mom dislike you, Lin Feng. That way, she'll be unsatisfied with you and demand that we break up!"
Understanding her mother's tendency to despise the poor and love the rich, Xu Minjing's instruction for Lin Feng to say such things had a very clear purpose. She intended to make her mother unsatisfied with Lin Feng and then push for their breakup. In this way, it would play out just as she wanted, and when the time came to pretend to reluctantly break up with Lin Feng, they could put a perfect end to this affair.
Moreover, since her mother had just forced her to break up with her boyfriend, it was likely that for quite some time she wouldn't bring up dating or matchmaking with her again—killing several birds with one stone.
