Ye Xi's mother narrowed her eyes, clearly still skeptical, "I'm telling you, Ye Xi, you'd better smarten up and stay sharp. Even if you never marry in this lifetime, we don't care. Your father and I only wish for you to be safe, healthy, and happy."
"Mom, you're really thinking too much. I swear, there's really nothing between him and me. Also, I just escaped one disaster; I'm not stupid enough to jump into another." Ye Xi raised her hand, almost as if she was about to swear an oath.
Her mother sighed, "There aren't any good men in the world, but we need to know their background well. Your dad and I have said, if you start dating again, we must thoroughly understand the other person's background. No matter what, it's always best to marry someone of equal social status, that way there's security."
"What era are we living in, still talking about equal social standing?" Ye Xi disagreed.
