Sister Sa sat beside her, saying softly, "I don't know what exactly erupted between you and him, but from what I've observed these past two years, I can tell he truly loves you."
Jiang Ling put down her phone, her gaze shadowed as she looked at Sister Sa. "What good is it if he's sincere? A relationship without the intention of marriage is just playing house. His family's status is too high, so high it's to be looked up to. Two people from different worlds, forced together, will hardly find happiness. Rather than loving each other to death only to be forcibly separated in the end, it's better to cut ties decisively from the start."
Sister Sa listened, mesmerized. After a long silence, she said, "You're right to think that way. Economic foundation determines the superstructure, and marriage isn't just between two people, but between two families. I remember you telling me how Jiang Yushuang overcame many obstacles to be with Jian Fan back then, so I know the Jian family members are not easy to get along with. If the two of you were truly together, it would indeed be quite difficult..."
As she spoke, Sister Sa suddenly gasped, "Wait, that's not right! You two are so well-matched, why can't you be together?"
"Hmm?"
"You and he are truly a perfect match. If you miss this destined connection, I fear you'll truly cry yourself to death."
"What do you mean? What do you mean we're a perfect match? Are you out of your mind?"
Jiang Ling's mind felt sluggish, as if dosed with a retardant. Seeing Sister Sa speak so confidently, she couldn't quite process it.
"You, you! You're so smart about everything else, how can you be dumber than a pig when it comes to matters of the heart?"
Sister Sa rolled her eyes speechlessly and explained it to her meticulously: "If you're with him as a platinum-tier celebrity, the difference in status is indeed vast. But what if we add the identity of a shareholder in three luxury goods groups? With your net worth in the hundreds of billions, aren't you worthy of the richest man's second son?"
A single remark awakened her from her dream!
Jiang Ling froze upon hearing this, taking a long time to react.
Sister Sa clapped her hands. "He's a precious second son of a prestigious wealthy family, and you're the queen of luxury goods who rakes in countless earnings. If you two come together, it's not a mismatch of status, but a perfect union."
Jiang Ling murmured to herself, "Yes, I am the queen of luxury goods. In terms of net worth, I'm not inferior to him. Why am I only realizing this simple truth now?"
Sister Sa, torn between laughter and tears, said, "I never believed love could make a woman foolish before, but seeing you like this, I have to believe it. You're clearly a match made in heaven, yet you've turned it into this mess. I truly don't know what to say to you."
Jiang Ling sighed softly, "It's already gotten to this point between him and me. Even if I understand now, it's too late..."
"It's not too late!" Sister Sa cut her off. "It's a mountain to cross for a man to pursue a woman, but just a thin veil for a woman to pursue a man. Listen to me, ask him out, apologize, and then start dating him like any normal couple in love!"
"No, I won't apologize. We've said too much to each other," Jiang Ling said, her brows furrowed.
"You... why are you so stubborn?"
Sister Sa really wanted to knock on her head and see what was inside. "Is it really that hard to just say a few words of appeasement? If not, then just treat this whole thing as a scene in a play. Use your acting skills and perform an apology scene. Would that work?"
Jiang Ling: "Can this be acted out?"
"What can't be acted out? When the fake is treated as real, the real also becomes fake. Isn't the highest realm of acting when it looks just like the real thing? If you can't even grasp this simple logic, I don't know what to say to you."
