Bing Lan's transformation was profound, but that alone didn't signify anything.
From Chen Mo's perspective, the outlook wasn't very optimistic, because he was himself, and others were others.
At lunch, Chen Mo also made his doubts clear, because he didn't know the outcome either.
"Do you have to marry into a wealthy family to consider it the perfect ending?"
"What do you mean by that? You know my status. The Lew Family will never allow me to demean myself."
Bing Lan regained some of her aloofness, "Even if I remain unmarried my whole life, I can't lower my family's status."
Indeed, her own happiness couldn't compare to the face of the Lew Family.
This wasn't a joke. The importance of face was evident from Lew Qingyi's case—those who laughed at this were not of high status themselves.
If Bing Lan had any flaws and married below her status, it would cause substantial loss to the Lew Family.
Of course, this might be difficult for smaller families to understand.
