A man should take care of his family. If he doesn't, no matter how good the scenery or how capable he is at work, he is just someone else's husband, not yours.
In "Shopaholic," He Qiong has two fathers, one poor and one rich. One spends money like water, while the other is stingy to the extreme. At the dinner table, everyone analyzes their urban stress. The poor and rich fathers say that being poor or rich is like having two different fathers—one loves to spend and the other is frugal.
Ultimately, Lu Tao remains Lu Tao. He didn't choose Ling Xian or Mi Lai because essentially, he isn't a wealthy person; he's penniless again. He will never be the Xu Tao that Xu Zhi Sen hoped for, despite once seeming so similar.
Some things are ingrained in one's nature, and they need to be understood over time.
When Yang Xiao Yun and Xiang Nan rented a house, they talked about their childhood experiences living in quadrangle courtyards, mentioning locust and jujube trees. However, Lu Tao and Mi Lai could never have shared similar experiences.
Everyone should maintain their individuality and respect others. Resolve conflicts peacefully for world peace.
As Lu Tao increasingly resembles Xu Tao, Xia Lin begins to feel lost. She discovers that this man tells her, when buying a car, don't forget to put your name on the driver's license. She becomes angry because he is becoming indistinguishable from the men at nightclubs. She realizes he is gradually distancing himself from their world, no longer complaining about work with each other but instead achieving success while she remains an unaccomplished salesperson. He buys a detached villa, while she has nothing. These feelings were once familiar to Lu Tao as well. Mi Lai could easily spend a college student's monthly living expenses, drive sports cars to school, and rent an apartment effortlessly—things that were too foreign to Lu Tao.
The mother also said...
If Xu Zhi Sen had appeared earlier, perhaps Lu Tao wouldn't have fallen in love with Xia Lin. Fundamentally, Lu Tao feels inferior in front of Mi Lai. He doesn't understand Mi Lai, feeling that rich girls deserve to be deceived, and he doesn't love Mi Lai because they aren't in the same world.
The fat auntie said...
Why doesn't Lu Tao love Mi Lai... very profound.
Lu Tao increasingly resembles Xu Tao, but he is still fundamentally Lu Tao. He isn't a businessman; he is more like Lu Ya Xun than Xu Zhi Sen. Xu Zhi Sen is a merchant, while Lu Ya Xun simply does his own job in construction. Lu Tao just wants to do architecture, though he wishes to be closer to success.
At his core, Lu Tao possesses Xu Zhi Sen's tenacity and skills, yet he was subconsciously influenced by Lu Ya Xun's reclusiveness. Yes, he once despised Lu Ya Xun and showed no respect for the man who raised him for over twenty years, even knowing he wasn't his biological child and had no offspring of his own. But in the end, he calls Lu Ya Xun "Dad" and says he will always call him that. He only refers to Xu Zhi Sen as "Old Xu."
Someone once told me that the day a woman loses herself is the day the man leaves her.
If a man likes you when he has everything, then he truly likes you, and there's little chance of change. If he starts off destitute and later gains much, he will likely abandon you.
In the future, don't find someone whose family is worse off than ours. No, if their family is much better, it's absolutely unacceptable.
Birds have imprinting; whoever they see first upon birth becomes their mother.
Father once told me...
Mi Lai drives an A3, and Lu Tao drives an A4. That's when they can start treating each other equally. However, a person's character generally depends on their genes, with the other half shaped by early memories. A psychology teacher told me that one can predict adulthood at age one and old age at age three. Later, I finally understood that genes come from the life experiences of the previous generation, while early memories stem from the environment they fought to create.
No man can let you depend on them for a lifetime. My mother once told me...
