Since the family meeting clearly expressed opposition to the relationship between Liang Tian and Chen Xue, the Chen Family began to pressure Chen Xue. Her parents and several elders took turns talking to her, trying to make her understand the family's stance and abandon any thoughts of being with Liang Tian. However, Chen Xue was resolute; no matter how her family persuaded her, she remained unmoved.
Seeing that their attempts at persuasion were fruitless, the Chen Family decided to take a more forceful approach—arranging for Chen Xue to go on blind dates with other wealthy heirs. They believed that by introducing her to suitable young men from prominent families, she might change her mind.
One day, after returning home, Chen Xue was informed by her mother about an important dinner that evening and was told to prepare herself. Confused, Chen Xue pressed for details, and her mother finally revealed the truth: “Xue'er, tonight you will meet the young master of the Lin family. The Lin family is also a well-respected family in Jiangnan City, and the Lin Family Young Master is quite talented; he would be a good match for you.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xue's anger surged: “Mom, I’m already with Liang Tian! Why do you insist on doing this? I won’t go on a blind date!”
Her mother looked helpless and said earnestly, “Xue'er, don’t be willful. Liang Tian’s background is simply not suitable. We are doing this for your own good and for the benefit of the Chen Family. The Lin Family Young Master is far more suitable for you in every way.”
Tears welled up in Chen Xue's eyes as she firmly replied, “Liang Tian and I truly love each other; I don’t care about his background. What you’re doing will only cause me more pain.”
But her mother ignored Chen Xue's feelings and insisted that she attend the dinner. Knowing she couldn’t change her family's decision filled Chen Xue with resentment and anger.
That evening, forced into a lavish dress, Chen Xue reluctantly arrived at the dinner party. The Lin Family Young Master, Lin Yu, had been waiting for some time. Upon seeing Chen Xue, he was momentarily taken aback by her beauty and quickly approached her with a greeting: “Miss Chen, I’ve heard so much about you. Meeting you today truly lives up to your reputation.”
Chen Xue smiled politely but felt deeply resistant inside. Throughout the dinner, she ignored Lin Yu’s enthusiasm and responded coldly to his attempts at conversation. Lin Yu noticed her attitude and felt somewhat awkward but continued to try to engage her.
After the dinner ended, Chen Xue returned home and went straight to her room, slamming the door behind her. Leaning against the door, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She couldn’t understand why her family couldn’t comprehend her feelings and insisted on using such methods to tear her away from Liang Tian.
Hearing the commotion, Chen Xue’s father came to her door and knocked gently: “Xue'er, can you come out for a moment? Dad wants to talk to you.”
Chen Xue opened the door and looked at her father defiantly: “Dad, why are you forcing me like this? Liang Tian and I truly love each other; can’t you support us?”
Her father looked at Chen Xue, his expression serious as he said, “Xue'er, our family, the Chen Family, has established itself with great difficulty in Jiangnan City. The reputation and future development of our family are of utmost importance. Liang Tian's background is too complicated; being with him could bring unpredictable risks to the family. As the daughter of the Chen Family, you should think about the family’s interests.”
Chen Xue cried out, “Is the family's benefit really more important than my happiness? I don’t want to be a sacrifice for the family's interests.”
Her father sighed helplessly, “Xue'er, you are still young; there are things you don’t understand yet. In time, you will realize that the responsibilities of the family are something none of us can escape.”
Filled with despair, Chen Xue knew that the rift between her and her family was growing deeper, yet she was unwilling to give up her feelings for Liang Tian. Caught between the dual pressures of familial duty and love, Chen Xue sank into profound pain, and the conflict sparked by her family's opposition made her future with Liang Tian even more uncertain.
