บท 404: What Do You Want Me To Do?

Jiao Long went to Shu Ning's room and scolded her. "Our business is down and the only way it can be brought up is if you marry that man," she said and glared at Shu Ning for not understanding the situation. She continued, "Despite the fact that you are not his daughter, Shu Jing Min had not only given you his name, but also money and a chance of good education. It is time you pay him back. As your mother, I am also worried about you. Shu Jing Min is going to go mad and all hell would break loose if you don't do as he wishes. He hardly bothers about you, but he bothers about his business a lot and if you have to be sacrificed for it, then so be it."

"Mother, how can you say that?" asked Shu Ning with tears in her eyes. Her mother was her worst enemy. Why couldn't she understand her agony? She felt like a lamb about to be slaughtered. "What about my feelings? I cannot marry anyone who I don't even know!"
