Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

Lu Yanci himself has tasted delicacies from land and sea, and he thought it was good. He even served it to her. What could she possibly find fault with?

Professor Chen and his family all laughed.

"Ruan Ruan is a kind-hearted person."

Madam Chen then looked at Lu Yanci, "You mustn't bully her in the future."

"To bully someone just because they are kind-hearted is evil."

Lu Yanci nodded quickly, "I know."

Professor Chen also said, "I have met Yanci, and I trust his character."

Madam Chen nodded: "That's true, Yanci is a good child."

"It's just that men are more likely to go astray, so it's best to stay true to yourself."

As she said this, she looked at Lu Yanci and then at Su Ruan.

"But the rudder is in your hands."

Su Ruan blinked, looking like she was asking for advice.

Madam Chen genuinely regarded these two as her juniors, the kind she would learn from, so she was willing to say a few more words.

"Marriage is never something that one party can uphold."

"While protecting yourself, you also have to keep an eye on the other side."

No one changes overnight.

"You only love him blindly, and one day you find out that he has changed his mind, but it's too late."

"Don't believe that there is no love after marriage. As long as love exists, it will always exist and will never suddenly disappear one day."

"As long as there is love in your marriage every day, your love will never disappear."

Madam Lu's words were quite convoluted.

But Su Ruan understood.

"Thank you, Auntie! We will try our best."

Sometimes, love is about mutual fulfillment.

But it doesn't refer to self-sacrifice; rather, it means giving the other person a chance to love you forever.

I love you, and you must love me too.

This statement would be considered a form of paranoia in other contexts.

But for two people who love each other, it means a firm commitment to walk hand in hand through life.

Mrs. Chen is truly a woman who knows how to manage her husband; she is very intelligent.

Su Ruan received this unspoken understanding.

Mrs. Chen nodded.

If those two kids weren't so perceptive, she wouldn't have said that at all.

Now that she's old, seeing two such promising young people, she can't bear to see them grow up to be bad; she wants them to live happily ever after.

After dinner, they took photos together.

Mrs. Chen said she was going to post it on her WeChat Moments so that everyone would know that they had gained such an adorable little girl in their family.

Professor Chen immediately liked and shared Mrs. Chen's post on WeChat Moments.

Her son and daughter-in-law lined up behind her with smiles, all of them liking and sharing the post.

At this thank-you banquet, Su Ruan did not receive any priceless gifts, but she gained the most precious thing.

Detention center.

Today is Tong Yao's last day in detention.

She was punished to the fullest extent of the law because of multiple offenses.

When she heard that someone wanted to see her, she thought it was the big shot behind the scenes who was looking for her.

He had a lot of resentment and demands bottled up inside him.

Unexpectedly, the woman got straight to the point: "I am Su Ruan's mother."

Tong Yao's eyes widened in shock.

Why did Su Ruan's mother come to see her?

Just to kick her while she's down?

It's a pity, we live in a society governed by the rule of law.

The resentment in Tong Yao's eyes instantly turned into contempt.

Yes, contempt.

"I wonder what brings Madam Su to see me?"

"The law has already punished me for my wrongdoings. Does Mrs. Su intend to circumvent the law?"

Su Wanjun looked calmly at the young woman in front of her who had no real confidence and could only bluff like a hedgehog.

This woman is about the same age as her daughter and is quite pretty. How could she do something so hurtful?

She had clearly checked, and her daughter didn't even know this woman.

It's one thing for this woman to occasionally make sarcastic remarks on the website using a secondary account, but how could she bear to throw such filth at a girl she doesn't even know?

"You hate Su Ruan?"

Su Wanjun asked in a calm voice.

Tong Yao paused for a second upon hearing the question, then shifted to a more comfortable sitting position.

"Of course."

Why?

"Why? Why?"

Why do you inexplicably dislike someone you have absolutely no connection with?

Tong Yao fell silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Why not?"

"She was just as humble as me, so why did she suddenly become a privileged woman?"

"She enjoyed toying with us so much, why can't I hate her!"

"Hate? I thought you misunderstood and thought she stole your boyfriend, oh, your suitor."

"But she clearly didn't do anything."

Tong Yao continued to smile.

"Yes, she didn't do anything, but she trampled my self-esteem into the ground!"

A hint of pity finally appeared in Su Wanjun's eyes.

That pity, so undisguised, pierced straight into Tong Yao's eyes.

It made her tremble.

Why should this noblewoman pity her?

Just because she's poor, does that mean she deserves to be an ant?

She has already tried so hard.

In the end, nothing can compare.

Family background and social standing are not just two simple words, but two invisible, towering mountains.

She worked incredibly hard to get into J University, only to realize just how immense those two mountains were.

Just like the noblewoman in front of her, Su Ruan's mother, she didn't even have to do anything to make everything vanish into nothingness.

"What a pity."

Su Wanjun said so.

Then he got up and left the room.

There was no harsh criticism, no abuse.

That pitying expression alone, and that final sigh, were enough to drive Tong Yao to hysteria.

Su Wanjun entered with disgust.

He came in with a heart full of anger.

But after seeing Tong Yao like this, I lost all desire for revenge.

She finally understood why her daughter had never looked at her directly.

It's not worth wasting even a tiny bit of energy on someone who's destined to get stuck in a quagmire.

But her not taking action doesn't mean that Tong Yao can let go of the consequences.

She returned to the school and submitted her statement demanding accountability.

She, Su Wanjun, as Su Ruan's mother, demanded that the school give Tong Yao the appropriate punishment.

Don't assume that just because Su Ruan is a child no one cares about, you can turn big problems into small ones and small problems into nothing.

However, Su Ruan is really capable.

She read the comments on the forum that supported her daughter.

From renowned professors to classmates.

They all acknowledged her excellence and her character.

Su Wanjun even printed out those comments, put them in a folder, and sealed them away.

When Su Wanjun left the school, Su Ruan and the others were coming out of Professor Chen's house.

"Are you going back to school?"

Su Ruan wanted to reply.

It was only a little past 3 p.m., still a long way from dinner.

Especially the thought of a candlelight dinner for two that evening.

They had just had a live educational session about love and marriage at Professor Chen's house at noon, and now that they were alone together, it felt a little strange.
