After successfully eliminating the evil organization, Liang Tian and Chen Xue were immersed in the joy of surviving and the sweetness of their blossoming relationship. However, this bliss did not last long, as the Chen Family learned about the depth of Chen Xue and Liang Tian's feelings for each other, and a storm quietly approached.
As the foremost family in Jiangnan City, the Chen Family placed great importance on their interests and reputation. When the elders of the family heard about Chen Xue's relationship with Liang Tian, they expressed their strong opposition. In their eyes, although Liang Tian had demonstrated exceptional abilities, his background was too complicated. He did not come from a traditional aristocratic family and was associated with numerous mysterious events. Such a background could pose potential risks to the Chen Family and affect their reputation.
One day, the Chen Family convened a family meeting, and Chen Xue was required to attend. The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense as the elders sat together with serious expressions. The head of the family, Chen Xue's grandfather, spoke first: "Xue'er, we know that you have a good relationship with Liang Tian, but you must understand that the family's reputation and future are paramount. Liang Tian's unclear background could bring trouble to our family."
Chen Xue felt a tightness in her chest. She stood up, her gaze steady as she looked at her grandfather: "Grandpa, although Liang Tian does not have a prominent family background, he is honest and kind-hearted, and he is capable. We have been through so much together; he has saved me multiple times and contributed significantly to Jiangnan City."
One of her uncles frowned and said, "Xue'er, while that may be true, we do not know him well enough. If he has ulterior motives, the Chen Family cannot afford that risk."
Chen Xue anxiously explained, "Uncle, Liang Tian is not that kind of person. He faced the evil organization without flinching, solely focused on protecting everyone. Moreover, he is sincere in his feelings for me."
However, no matter how much Chen Xue tried to explain, the elders remained resolute in their opposition. They believed that marriages within the Chen Family should not only be based on feelings but also consider family interests and future development. Being with someone of unclear background could lead to various potential problems and even become a hidden danger for the Chen Family.
Chen Xue found herself in a dilemma. On one side was her deep love for Liang Tian; they had weathered countless storms together, their bond solid as a rock. On the other side was her family that had raised her; their expectations and responsibilities made it hard for her to let go. She understood that her elders' concerns were not unfounded, but asking her to give up her feelings for Liang Tian was something she simply could not do.
After the meeting concluded, Chen Xue returned to her room feeling heavy-hearted. She sat by the window, gazing at the night view outside as tears welled up in her eyes. She did not know how to choose between her family and Liang Tian. If she chose Liang Tian, she might hurt her family's feelings and disappoint her elders; but if she gave him up, she would lose her true love and endure immense pain.
At that moment, Liang Tian sensed something was off with Chen Xue. After pressing her for answers, she finally revealed to him that her family opposed their relationship. Liang Tian felt a weight in his heart; he understood Chen Xue's pain and helplessness at that moment. He took her hand gently and looked deeply into her eyes: "Chen Xue, I don’t want to put you in a difficult position. But I won’t give you up easily; give me some time, and I will find a way for your family to accept me."
Chen Xue lifted her head, filled with emotion and worry: "Liang Tian, I don’t know what to do. My family's stance is very firm; I don’t want to lose you or disappoint them."
Liang Tian softly embraced Chen Xue: "Don’t worry; we will face this together. I will prove to them that I can bring you happiness without bringing any negative impact to the Chen Family." However, deep down, Liang Tian knew that changing the Chen Family's attitude would be no easy task; it would be a difficult challenge. But for Chen Xue, he was willing to give it his all.
