Bickering

Her mother turned around and looked at Ye Chen. She sneered and said, "Ye Chen, I know everything about you. If you really had the ability to ensure Ruoxue's safety, then why did your parents die back then? The harshness of this world is beyond your imagination! A bottom-feeder like you is not qualified to say such words!"

"Mom, you're going overboard!"

"Overboard? How was that going overboard? I'm just teaching this kid the harsh reality of the world!"

"Ruoxue, I really don't get it. What is it that you like about this kid? Did you fall for his lies? Do you really believe that he will surpass the Xia family in six months? Can you really entrust your safety to this kind of man?"

At this moment, Xia Ruoxue could not refute her mother's words. She wanted to, but she also had to face reality. This was the way the world functioned. 

Those at the bottom would never be able to reach the top. This was why the poor became poorer, and the rich became richer.
