Shangguan Jing hung her head low, daring not to let the elders see the pain and hatred in her eyes.
In her grievance, she cried out loud, "Auntie, I cannot let go. I can't forget Jinyu... If I could forget my love for him, I would have done it a long time ago. But I can't, I genuinely can't..."
Suddenly, she clutched at Qiu Liya's hand in a fit of emotion, "Auntie, Auntie, you and Uncle have always cared about me, considering me as your daughter-in-law. I beg you, help me. I love Jinyu so much. I believe no one in the world can love him more than I do, and no one is more suitable for him than me..."
"Ah Jing, feelings are not something we can control. Your bond with Jinyu is shallow, and there is nothing we can do about it. Your Uncle and I do like you as our daughter-in-law, but the marriage is Jinyu's. Our satisfaction doesn't matter," Qiu Liya gently said with firm determination in her voice.
