And I, with my mother's help and the backing of the Miao family's influence, just had to get into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and keep perfecting myself without a break, and I could climb to a position worthy of Brother Wen Nian.
My mother had always encouraged me this way, telling me that one must have foresight and not just look at the present.
I truly believed it, because it was the truth.
For two people to be together, they must be a match for each other, whether in terms of appearance, temperament, family background, financial conditions, intelligence, and education...
If they don't match, how can it last?
I was better than Song Lili, so much better, better to the point that it would not be an exaggeration to say that I left her several streets behind.
It should have developed... just as she and her mother had thought...
