“However, when you think carefully, it’s not entirely incomprehensible! After all, our Wei Group is famous in the business world, with countless people wanting to make connections. Now that such an opportunity has presented itself, how could they be foolish enough not to seize it?” Wei Fang Yalan examined her exquisitely painted nails and the jade ring on her finger, coldly sarcastic.
“It’s not like that…” Pure love being misunderstood as having ulterior motives, Yi An was stunned, stammering and continuously shaking her head. “I didn’t know Tian Lang’s family background at first. I went home with him because we couldn’t bear to be apart, not because I wanted to gain anything!” She hurriedly clarified.
Initially, from Wei Tian Lang’s demeanor and conversation, she could tell his background was not poor, but she never expected such overwhelming wealth.
However, falling in love with him, even leaving home with him, she hadn’t thought about wealth at all. How could she be calculating anything?
To be more frank, even now knowing about the Wei Group, she still had no real concept; her understanding of the family’s wealth was simply from this magnificent and spacious villa.
“Hmph.” Wei Fang Yalan coldly snorted, her mind already made up about her. Any explanations now seemed superfluous. “Sounds nice, but the credibility seems quite low.”
The Wei Group was not an ordinary small-scale company, with business territories spanning Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and a resounding reputation. Unless one was truly ignorant to an extreme degree, it was impossible not to have heard of them.
“It’s true,” Yi An emphasized urgently.
“Whether it’s true or false, time will tell.” She silenced Yi An with one sentence, then a cold laugh made Yi An involuntarily tremble. “Don’t blame me for saying this upfront: you can play around, but if you dream of entering the Wei family, forget it.”
Now, she had to confirm that Wei Fang Yalan truly disliked her!
“Aunt, we’re not just playing around…” She softly declared with furrowed brows.
“You’d better know your place. The position of Wei family daughter-in-law is not something a wild girl from the mountains can sit in.” Wei Fang Yalan’s voice lowered unpleasantly, her gaze sharp and oppressive. “Look at yourself – no elegance, no style, I bet you don’t even understand basic social etiquette?” She openly expressed her disdain.
She was simply in love with Wei Tian Lang, never thinking about any position!
Moreover, while she might lack noble elegance, she was certainly not crude; though not elaborately dressed, she was at least neat and clean!
Such unfriendliness and disdain wounded Luo Yi An’s self-esteem, but being mindful of her elder, she could only swallow her pride and remain silent.
Because she vaguely understood that in this situation, saying more would only invite more ruthless humiliation!
Seeing her speechless, Wei Fang Yalan felt she had achieved her warning and stopped, standing to leave, leaving Yi An alone in the cold, depressing atmosphere.
Her eyes slightly reddened, Yi An felt utterly discouraged and sad.
Clearly, Tian Lang’s mother looked down on her background…
She had always lived freely and happily, never knowing what inferiority felt like, but now her attitude made her taste that feeling.
What was wrong with living in the mountains and running a guesthouse?
Her family was honest, her parents working steadily, not poor but moderately well-off – why the disdain?
It seemed that without the right prerequisites, winning her favor would not be simple, yet she was precisely the mother of the man she loved, and she had no choice but to face her!
You can’t run, there’s a driver at home. When my mom doesn’t need the driver, you can ask him to take you wherever you want to go,” he pinched her nose tip and said earnestly.
“No need!” She instinctively raised her voice in refusal. Scared to death, using the family driver – if his mother found out, who knows what she’d say. “I’m not used to being driven, I prefer being on my own,” she quickly added an explanation.
“Then… can you drive? I’ll buy you a small car to make it more convenient for you to go out,” he suggested suddenly.
“Hehe, no,” she chuckled and shook her head. “Do you have a motorcycle? I’ll ride a motorcycle,” she proposed straightforwardly and openly.
“Okay, we’ll choose a motorcycle tomorrow, go shopping, and have a candlelight dinner,” Wei Tianlong announced the plan.
“Tomorrow?!” She raised her voice in surprise, her bright eyes wide as she looked at him. “Are you done with work? Do you have free time? Can we go out together?”
Her joy and excitement were all expressed in this series of repeated questions.
“Yes, I’m done, I have free time, we can go out together,” he replied with a slight smile, answering each question patiently.
“Really?” Upon receiving confirmation, Yi An jumped up happily, directly throwing herself onto Wei Tianlong’s body, clinging like a koala on a eucalyptus tree. “YAY! So great, so great!”
Her clear emotions, direct thoughts and feelings – being with her was so relaxed and comfortable. He was infected by her mood, unable to help but laugh with her, happy because of her happiness.
What he wanted was actually very simple – just the feeling of happiness and satisfaction when being with her. It was a perfect feeling that even a successful career couldn’t achieve, something money couldn’t buy and material things couldn’t replace.
He knew she was feeling stifled. For such a lively and cheerful girl, enduring seven days without going out was not easy, showing how hard she tried to be patient and adjust herself for him.
Embracing her tightly, Wei Tianlong said lovingly: “I can’t neglect work, so you must help me, okay?”
Cooperating perfectly with his actions, she immediately stopped her bouncing and obediently stayed in his arms.
“What help do you need? I’ll definitely do my best,” she asked sweetly.
“Help me take good care of yourself, okay?” Because he clearly wanted to cherish and spoil her but had inadvertently neglected her, he felt heartache and guilt.
Hearing this, a warm current flowed into Yi An’s heart, making her suddenly look up, her moved gaze fixed on him. “Does taking care of myself count as helping you?”
“Yes, because you are mine, so taking good care of yourself is helping me,” he gently pecked her sweet, moist lips.
“I like this way of saying it,” she smiled softly, her black eyes sparkling like stars in the night, brilliant and dazzling. “I promise!”
Reciprocating, she also pecked his handsome, thin lips, a sweet smile curving her mouth as she looked at his beloved, handsome face.
Makeup… Now there are specialized makeup classes. I’ll ask my secretary to find them tomorrow when I go to work. This is good! Look and see what else you’re interested in and go learn! Anyway, you’re free all day while I’m at work, so it’s good to find something to do. Feeling sorry that she was stuck at home with nowhere to go, he thoughtfully suggested.
“Okay, okay!” She clapped her hands excitedly, then suddenly remembering her mother-in-law’s words, immediately asked, “Are there any classes teaching social etiquette?”
Wei Tianlong looked at her strangely. “Why are you suddenly thinking about learning social etiquette?”
“Uh…” She paused, not wanting to tell the truth. “Aren’t you the one who said I could learn anything I’m interested in?” She deflected skillfully.
She didn’t want Wei Tianlong to know about the cold words she had received at home, to avoid adding psychological burden to him while he was busy with work. On the other hand, she still held great hope for improving her relationship with Wei Fang Yalan.
