Huang Xiang was taken aback by Rao Jie's resolute expression, momentarily at a loss for words. However, Rao Jian exploded first, "What are you talking about! I'm telling you, I'm just waiting to get promoted to department manager. Don't mess this up for me! Young Master Hu is going to be my future brother-in-law, and Manager Hu is our family connection. This is already settled; it’s not something you can just dismiss. Your little boyfriend comes from a poor family and is still a student. You need to handle this quickly, or Young Master Hu will be unhappy!"
Rao Jie felt numb, her face blank. She ignored her useless brother and focused on her mother, thinking, at least I am her daughter! "Mom, are you really selling your daughter for glory? What era do you think this is? Do you honestly believe what you're doing is reasonable?"
Huang Xiang seemed to realize that Rao Jian's words were a bit harsh and looked slightly embarrassed. "Jie Jie, your parents are doing this for your own good. Your Uncle Hu and your dad are old classmates; we can trust their family. If we can form a connection with them, it’s an opportunity for us."
"Think about it: on one hand, it helps your brother succeed in his career; on the other hand, don’t you want to pursue graduate studies? Once you're engaged, you can continue studying for your master's degree. After graduation, you can get married; that way, you'll have ten fewer years of struggle compared to others. And if you don't want to work, it's fine—someone will take care of you! This is a win-win situation!"
"Actually, your dad and I have wanted to connect with their family for a long time. We just wanted to wait until you graduated before making any moves! But now your brother is in such a good position; we can't miss this opportunity. If we get engaged sooner, they’ll treat your brother like family."
Rao Jian chimed in, "If you keep refusing, Young Master Hu has met so many beautiful women; it's already impressive that he likes you."
"Exactly! After the last meeting, Xiao Hu said he really liked you. If you agree, we can set the engagement right away. He’s willing to wait until you finish your master's degree before getting married."
"Don't overthink it; just treat it like an arranged marriage. It’s quite popular nowadays! Xiao Hu has no flaws—he's good-looking, comes from a wealthy family, and is outstanding himself; he’s already a director in his father's company. With such great conditions, what more could you want?"
Rao Jie closed her eyes. Even if she hadn’t broken up with Bao Ming, she would never be with someone named Hu. She still remembered how that guy had acted when they first met—he was nothing but a rogue.
"Absolutely not!" Rao Jie declared before turning to leave.
"How dare you walk away!" Rao Jian shouted angrily.
Rao Jie suddenly erupted, "Fine! I won't leave! But don’t regret it later—I guarantee I’ll offend your boss and Young Master enough during dinner! If you're going to force me into this, then I won't hold back!"
No matter how good-tempered someone was, they couldn't withstand such repeated blows. She truly lost control; her head felt hot and her chest burned as if a volcano was about to erupt inside her. Why was she so unlucky? Why did all the misfortunes come knocking at her door?
Rao Jian was momentarily speechless, staring wide-eyed at Rao Jie with anger.
Huang Xiang was also getting angry now; they had already made such bold claims and the guests were on their way—if everything went smoothly today, the engagement could be finalized.
"Rao Jie, have you had enough of this? Do you want to see this family fall apart before you're satisfied? As a sister, what's wrong with sacrificing a little for your brother's success? Do you think our parents would harm you? Where else can you find such good conditions? Fine! If you're going to make a scene and leave, then go ahead! Just bring out five thousand yuan and you're free to go! I won’t stop you!"
