Mrs. He did not hold her silence against her.
She simply got straight to the point.
"The He Family’s rules are very strict. If Feichen insists on being with you, whether or not he can keep his life is one thing, but his inheritance will certainly be lost. If you feel that you like him, then I’d like to ask you, my dear, what can you offer to the person you like who has sacrificed so much for you?"
"..."
"If he hadn’t t you, he would have had a fiancée from a good family background. It might not be an unforgettable kind of love, but his life would certainly have gone smoothly. Even if he doesn’t want to take over the family business, the family’s assets will eventually fall into the hands of the brothers."
Mrs. He looked at Kali, paused, and said.
"Pardon my bluntness, but since his birth, Feichen has never worried about money. Can you say the sa?"
"..."
Kali’s face turned sowhat pale. She wanted to say sothing but found herself unable to retort.
"Miss Kali, I heard that you lost your father at a young age. It was your mother who raised you single-handedly. Your family owed a lot of debt, and you worked desperately for several years before barely paying it off, living carefully with your mother all the while..."
Seeing her complexion worsen, Mrs. He’s tone softened a little.
"I say this not to humiliate you, but to help you understand that you and Feichen live in two different worlds. He might find it novel and be reluctant to let go for the mont, but can you guarantee that he won’t regret it for the rest of his life? Perhaps he really won’t, but can you watch as the once carefree young man loses his inheritance, his family, his confidence, and step by step is left with nothing because of you?"
"Auntie..." Kali’s whole body trembled lightly.
"Can you tell , what can you provide for him?"
The last question from Mrs. He hit Kali’s heart like a heavy hamr.
She hadn’t brought out a significant check to coerce Kali into breaking up with her son.
Nor did she mock or insult Kali for harboring ulterior motives, aiming to beco a part of a wealthy family.
From beginning to end, Mrs. He just asked Kali, my son has lost so much for you, sacrificed so much, what can you offer him in return?
Being punished or grounded for a few days is nothing in the He Family.
If He Feichen really wants to fight his family to the end, given his family’s traditions, it’s impossible without so serious repercussions.
Kali was already worried about what might happen to He Feichen.
Mrs. He’s words not only unearthed her most painful mories but also shattered her pride.
She couldn’t answer any of the questions posed by Mrs. He.
She has nothing to offer He Feichen.
She would only cause him to be rejected by his family and beco an outcast of the He Family.
Mrs. He: "Miss Kali, if you don’t mind, I’d like to remind you once more that while Feichen’s father and I won’t contact your family, the old master might..."
Kali’s nerves tensed: "What are you going to do to my mother?"
Mrs. He: "There’s no need to be so nervous. The He Family is only strict with their descendants and won’t do anything illegal. But if things really escalate, the old master might personally et your mother, and considering his temperant, he might not speak to her as politely as I have today."
Kali: "..."
The sound of Ji Weitian speaking outside the bathroom interrupted Kali’s thoughts.
She ca back to her senses, quickly wiped the tears from her face, and turned on the shower, pretending to be taking a bath.
