"The Qiao Family was poor before, and my family had a very poor impression of Xiaomai. Whenever she came over to seek help or to thank Grandfather for his assistance, my family members always gave her the cold shoulder."
"Later, when my family faced sudden changes and their fortunes took a drastic turn, they got greedy for the Qiao Family's wealth. Although they wanted me to marry her, their disdainful attitude towards her never changed. Under such circumstances, how could I dare to marry her, and how could she dare to marry me?"
"Because of the Sun Family, she had already endured so much suffering and pressure in the name of filial piety. Once she entered our household as the youngest, anyone could lord over her, simply based on their seniority."
"There was no choice, I could only say I wouldn't marry, and she could only say she wouldn't either."
