Nam Yeji sat on the seat next to her as she covered her face and cried. "Why? Why?! All I want is to find a man with stable finances who treats me well. Why can others find one but I can't?"

Park Shin-Hye patted her back helplessly. "Okay, that's enough. Let's not harbor this kind of thought anymore. You don't have anything worth contributing, so do you think a man from a rich family would choose you without considering other potential suitors? How silly would he be? Do you think that true love can be found everywhere? If you find it, then you're lucky. If you can't find it, you can't force it. This is the result of you trying to force something that isn't right. Now that you ended up on the losing side, just remember this lesson, okay?"

Nam Yeji nodded as she cried. She still did not feel better.

Park Shin-Hye did not care that it was embarrassing to say this in the café as she continued, "Just live an honest life and you'll naturally meet the right person. I've never asked for you to get a rich man, and I've never thought that I'm living a bad life with your father. Our family conditions may not have been that great before this, but your father and I have managed to slowly turn things around. Our days are getting better and that is a blessing for us. A good life should be earned and not gotten through short cuts. Jennie might seem to be living a good life but you have no idea how much she has gone through and how hard she worked."

"She never thought about marrying into a rich family. All she wanted was an ordinary man who was responsible and worked hard to lead a better life together. The more you work toward it, the closer you will be to meeting the right person. If you force it like you are now, it will only make things worse for you. Now that you've experienced it, just think about it."

Nam Yeji's sobbing got quieter. Jennie knew that she had finally seen things clearly, but that she still felt terrible because she was unable to let it go.

She had such high hopes for Eunwoo, it had all been replaced with disappointment and hatred. It was not something that one could let go in a day – she needed some time.

Thus, Jennie said, "Once you've resigned, don't go rushing out to find another job. Stay at home to calm yourself down first. I think that if you want your life to get better, you should always depend on yourself and not others. What you earn with your own two hands is the most reliable reward. You can only rely on a man for a short time. If a man likes you, everything you do looks good to him. When they stop liking you, they'll just throw you to the side. If you always rely on a man and he leaves you, then you'll end up with nothing and come back to square one."

What she said managed to get through to Nam Yeji. She wiped away her tears and looked up at Jennie.

Her eyes were still red and bulged out like a fish, and she could not stop sniffling.

Jennie gave her the whole pack of tissues as she said patiently, "Your identity and family status won't help you. There're only so many rich people in this world. Not everyone is lucky enough to be born rich. Most people will still need to work hard on their own. If you could get into B University through your own efforts, then it's more than enough proof of your capability. Since you have the capability, why do you want to take short cuts?

"You can carve out a career for yourself with your own capabilities. When a woman has her own career, she will have enough money to live a good life. You can buy anything you want and travel anywhere you like. If you want to continue studying to enrich yourself, you can go ahead and do it at anytime. You don't need to rely on a man to have all these. When that time comes, you'll realize that it's okay to not have a man. You can follow your own desires to have anything you'd like, even if this desire is to be in a relationship with a man you really love. When that time comes, you will be the one to pick your man, and it won't be the way it is now, with you losing your dignity waiting around for a man to pick you.
