Qin Xiaomin’s eyes were red as she shouted angrily, “What do you mean by enemies? I was born to you, so 1 have to listen to everything you say? If I don’t go along with your wishes, then I’m an enemy?”

Niu Ailan pointed at Qin Xiaomin and cried even harder, “Look at you, look at you, how can you shout at your parents like this? Have everything you learned since elementary school eaten by the dog?”

The two women kept arguing, causing Qin Junshan to have a headache.

“Alright, stop talking. Zhiye, tell me, what’s going on?”

Qin Zhiye sighed. “It’s been a few months. Every weekend, Xiaomin has something to do. She either has a movie date with her classmates or a dinner date with her colleagues. Her Mother and I thought it was strange. Today, we deliberately followed her, but we found out that…”

At this point, he glanced at Li Yong with a look of disapproval.

“Big Brother, tell us, how many blind dates did her father and I set her up with? There were the son of the Chief of the public security bureau, overseas returnees, and even the worst was a high school teacher. All of them were outstanding. She didn’t fancy any of them, but… but… she liked such a person!”

Niu Ailan was so angry that she couldn’t care less whether her words were pleasant or not.

When Li Yong heard this, his face turned red and then white.

Qin Xiaomin exploded, “What do you mean by such a person? Didn’t he just not go to university? Didn’t he just have no money? I just like him. What’s wrong with that? Are you all blinded by money? Do you really want me to marry those people for my own good, or do you want to use me to build a relationship…”

Before Qin Xiaomin could finish her words, Niu Ailan suddenly stood up and slapped Qin Xiaomin on the face.

After that, she held her chest and took half a step back.

Both mother and daughter were shocked.

One didn’t expect her daughter to say such words, while the other didn’t expect her mother, who had spoiled her since she was a child, to slap herself.

Qin Zhiye went forward and held Niu Ailan.

Li Yong wanted to go forward, but Gong Wenbai pulled him away.

Qin Xiaomin bit her lip and turned to run out after a moment.

Seeing this, Niu Ailan collapsed on the sofa in anger.

Qin Zhiye held her and asked worriedly, “How are you? Are you okay?”

Niu Ailan waved her hand. “I’m fine. Go and see her quickly. Don’t let her do anything stupid.”

Just as Qin Zhiye was about to turn around and chase after her, Li Yong had already broken free from Gong Wenbai and ran out.

He hesitated for a moment and sighed, but he still didn’t chase after her.

Niu Ailan was so angry that she slapped her thigh. “Go!”

Qin Zhiye was also tired from the torment. Looking at Niu Ailan, he said somewhat helplessly, “Why are you doing this?”

Niu Ailan saw her daughter being rebellious, but her husband also didn’t understand her.

Suddenly, she covered her face and sobbed again.

“Why am I doing this? Why… Am 1 doing this for myself? Even if she marries the richest person in the world, I don’t want a single cent from her. 1 just can’t bear to see her regret in the future. She clearly can marry someone better.”

Hearing Niu Allan’s words, the few people present were silent.

Ji Yuanyuan really wanted to say something on Second Uncle’s behalf, but it was an indisputable fact that Second Uncle’s condition was worse than Qin Xiaomin’s.

Even though she could talk about the future, who could say for sure what would happen in the future?

Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang also understood. Grandma Niu was complaining that Second Uncle didn’t have money and didn’t allow Auntie Xiaomin and Second Uncle to be together.

The two brothers’ expressions were also completely different. Ji Zixuan’s expression was gloomy as he clasped his fingers uneasily.

Ji Zi’ang, on the other hand, looked indignant.

“Sister-in-law, I’m a few years older than you, and I’ve experienced more than you. To be honest, not everyone with money and education is a good person.”

He looked at Ji Yuanyuan and hesitated, however, he continued, “There are quite a number of cheaters and wife beaters. On the contrary, those without money may not be without money for their entire lives. If I had a daughter, I would definitely not let her marry into a higher position. If she was wronged, I won’t have the ability to take revenge for her, but it would be different if she married into a lower position.”

Seeing that Niu Ailan was still clutching her chest and her expression did not change, he advised, “The children are at a time when their feelings are deep. The more you interfere, the more inseparable they will be from each other.”

Ji Yuanyuan nodded in agreement.

The more a relationship was obstructed, the deeper the relationship between the two parties would be.

The feeling of fighting against the world for the other party would cause many people to have the illusion that their relationship was true love.

“The children also know their limits. Don’t push them too hard. Perhaps one day, Xiaomin will suddenly come to her senses. Or perhaps one day, Li Yong, this kid, will be able to turn things around?” Qin Junshan advised.

Niu Ailan gradually stopped crying. She still held her chest, “Xiaomin is twenty-four years old this year. If this drags on, she will be too old when she gets married and has children in the future.”

“But it’s useless for you to push her. Even if Xiaomin listens to you and breaks up with Li Yong, goes on blind dates, gets married, and has children, if she doesn’t like that man, can her marriage be a happy one?”

“Feelings are born in the first place. When Zhiye and I got married, didn’t we still have no feelings? But the two of us have spent most of our lives together, and we’re still very happy now.”

This time, Qin Junshan didn’t have to say anything, Qin Zhiye tried to persuade her, “How can it be the same? Xiaomin now has someone she likes. The more you don’t let them be together, the more she wants to be together. Even if she’s reluctantly married to someone else, she wouldn’t try to cultivate a relationship with them.”

Listening to Qin Zhiye and Qin Junshan’s words, Niu Ailan didn’t speak for a long time.

She was silent for a long time and muttered, “Could it be that I can only watch her waste her youth and be with that kid?”

No one could answer Niu Allan’s question.

Outside, after Qin Xiaomin ran out of the house, she kept running out of the community.

Just as she reached the flower bed, Li Yong caught up with her.

“Let go, let go of me!” Qin Xiaomin struggled.

Li Yong had no choice but to go forward and use all his strength to hug Qin Xiaomin.

Their abnormal behavior attracted a lot of strange gazes from the surrounding people.

Li Yong hugged Qin Xiaomin tightly. Qin Xiaomin struggled for a moment and finally gave up resisting.

She stood where she was and sobbed helplessly.

“Xiaomin, you shouldn’t have said that just now!” Li Yong said in a low voice, “We were wrong in this matter. Don’t be willful. Go back and apologize!”

Qin Xiaomin’s body suddenly became stiff. She raised her head, she looked at Li Yong in disbelief, “Even you said that about me? What did I say wrong? If it’s really for my own good, why do I have to marry someone I don’t like?”

She thought that Li Yong was on her side, but she didn’t expect that Li Yong would actually say such things to her.

“Think about it from another perspective.. If you had a daughter, would you marry her to a man who only had a high school diploma, had no money at hand, and had no job?”
