Second, the families were mismatched – the Lin family was a small household, while the Zhong family was a prominent family they could not aspire to marry into. Lin’s parents could see that Luo Xuan did not seem particularly warm towards their daughter. But Lin Lan was determined to marry into a wealthy family, and no amount of parental persuasion would change her mind.
On the eve of the wedding, Lin’s mother spoke to her earnestly: “Lan Lan, entering a wealthy family is like entering a deep sea. In the future, when Mom and Dad are not by your side, you must take care of yourself. This marriage was your choice, and we advised you, but you wouldn’t listen! If you suffer grievances in the future, if your in-laws make things difficult, or if Luo Xuan treats you badly, you cannot regret it! Because marriage has no turning back – when you gain something, you also lose something…”
“Mom!” Lin Lan suddenly burst into tears. “Mom, Luo Xuan wants to divorce me!”
Lin’s mother was shocked: “Why?”
Lin Lan choked: “He has another woman!”
After a long pause, Lin’s mother sighed, “If only we had known earlier… Child, if you cannot be happy, then divorce. You’re still young, and you have a long road ahead…”
“No!” Lin Lan gritted her teeth firmly. “I won’t accept this. What right does he have to marry and divorce at will? Does he think I’m nothing? Mom, I won’t agree so easily. I won’t let him have his way.”
He wants to be with Shen Chu Meng? No way…”
Lin’s mother was alarmed: “How did the Shen family’s child get involved again?”
Lin Lan gnashed her teeth in hatred: “It’s because of her that Luo Xuan wants to divorce me! Mom, rest assured, your daughter isn’t someone who gives up easily! I won’t let them be happy together!”
“Lan Lan, there’s no winning or losing in marriage. If you hold onto this mindset, you won’t be happy. Mom knows you’ve always been a decisive child who never worried us, but why won’t you listen to us this time?” Lin’s mother advised, but Lin Lan wouldn’t listen. “Lan Lan, must you bash your head until it bleeds?”
