Chapter 58: The Past

"Whatever you say, it is undoubtedly difficult to succeed on one''s own, and the success rate is extremely low. But that doesn''t mean it''s an absolute failure. Some people overcome challenges with their own strength, climb to higher social classes, and succeed! If others can do it, why can''t I? Am I destined to live forever under your shadow, under your control? I don''t believe that, and I won''t accept it!"

“随便您怎么说，靠自己成才的确很难，成功率也是极其低，但是并没有百分百绝对地不成功，还是有人凭借自己的力量迎难而上，跨越阶层，获得成功！别人能做到，为什么我不能？我就只能一辈子活在你的阴影之下、你的掌控之中一辈子吗？我不信，也不能接受！”

"You have blocked all my paths, but now I''ve carved out my own path. Why won''t you let me go and live the life I desire?"

“你把所有的路都给我堵死了，现在我自己杀出了一条路来，为什么你们就不放过我，让我可以过我自己的生活，过我自己想要的生活！”

“我工作后你们给我使了多少绊子你不清楚吗？若不是因为你们的原故，我的事业路能是如此吗？凭什么你们想要我嫁谁就嫁谁，想要我结婚生子我就要结婚生子，你们把我当人对待了吗？”

"We only want what''s best for you. Your fiance is the best choice, no matter his family background, character, education, or abilities. Our two family business joining forces is a win-win alliance."

“我们那是为你好，你的未婚夫无论家世人品，学历能力，都是你最好的选择。这对于我们两家来说叫强强联手的婚姻！”

"A win-win alliance? All you care about is maximizing your own interests."

“强强联手？你们不过最大利益化而已。”

"What''s wrong with doing things to maximize my interests? I
