Chen Wanqing replied softly, "If that were really true, you wouldn't be here..."
Zhao Jing looked a bit sheepish before breaking into a smile. "In any case, if I dig my heels in, our elders won't deliberately make things difficult for me. But as for you, Sister—and please don't be angry, I know this sounds harsh—the Li family has put you in a difficult position with their capricious behavior. Yet it's an indisputable fact that you're not getting any younger. Even if you don't accept my family's proposal today, the Wang Family, the Li family, or the Sun Family will come proposing tomorrow. They'll be an endless nuisance. Instead of wasting time and energy dealing with them, it would be better to accept my proposal first."
"For one thing, my mother is frail and my sister is naive. They won't stir up trouble or cause you any grief."
