Yang Zhilin stood there stubbornly, disregarding the glances her parents threw at her, her eyes fixated on Gu Nuan before shifting to Xiao Jianming seated on a throne. In an instant, her face blood like a flower as she smiled.
She took two steps toward Xiao Jianming and said, "The last ti I visited uncle’s house, I had the pleasure of seeing grandmother but unfortunately didn’t get to et uncle. I’ve always felt regretful about it."
Suddenly, she had pulled herself into a relationship with Xiao Jianming.
Yang Baixin and Mrs. Yang were both sowhat dumbfounded at this.
Their daughter, had she lost her mind?!
At this critical mont, building sentints, was it useful?
Gu Nuan couldn’t help but want to sigh quietly.
Recalling that ti in Lai’an Village when she first saw this young lady causing a sensation among the villagers while seated in a Rolls-Royce, she stood in the crowd watching her, always feeling a vague unease about this young lady.
As it turned out, the young lady had the presence, but perhaps due to being overly pampered, her tactics were far inferior to her two classmates, Su Yixia and Lin Yishan.
For instance, on the matter of pretense, Yang Zhilin’s act was transparent to anyone with clear eyes unlike Su Yixia and Lin Yishan, who had maintained theirs for years, undetectable by those around them.
Short on tact but full of arrogance, such a person was bound to fail.
Gu Nuan wondered how her father-in-law intended to toy with these people of the Yang Family.
Xiao Jianming’s eyes seed to curve slightly in a smile as he sized up Yang Zhilin.
Yang Zhilin was greatly encouraged by this, interpreting Xiao Jianming’s expression and deanor as having a favorable impression of her — of course, for she was not only beautiful and talented but, most importantly, she had strong support from behind her.
In every way, she was a big step above Gu Nuan.
"Uncle, I heard you knew my grandfather, and he often spoke of you, saying how good you are—" In an effort to bond with Xiao Jianming, Yang Zhilin brought up the Yang family’s patriarch.
Yang Baixin’s expression changed, and Mrs. Yang felt just as terrible.
Their daughter, not yet married, was already like water splashed out—why bring up their old patriarch? If he learned of this, wouldn’t they be digging their own graves?
"Oh—" Xiao Jianming responded softly, seemingly in response, and said, "When you speak to , is it about your grandfather?"
Yang Zhilin quickly said, "Of course not, uncle, I am here to be your daughter-in-law. The last ti, when I t with grandmother, she liked very much and said she hoped I would beco her granddaughter-in-law. Besides, didn’t you discuss this matter with my father?"
Simple, naive, ignorant!
This undoubtedly was the unanimous sentint shared by everyone present.
Gu Nuan couldn’t help but wonder; the Yang family mbers seed not to be fools, so how had they raised such a naively ignorant daughter.
It was clear that the Yang Family wanted to establish a connection with the Xiao Family through marriage, and initially, nobody knew who first proposed it, but they had agreed imdiately, probably at that ti. Now, the situation had changed. Would Xiao Jianming accept the marriage agreent established on equal grounds?
No, impossible.
The Yang family themselves knew it was impossible.
Yang Zhilin so confidently stating this was like slapping her own face—it was inviting humiliation.
However, the old crocodile seed to be intentionally using the Yang family mbers present; otherwise, he wouldn’t delay showing his displeasure when Yang Zhilin approached him earnestly and foolishly, instead maintaining a face keen on watching a good drama unfold.
This caused Yang Baixin and Mrs. Yang to shift their gaze toward Gu Nuan, thinking whether she could be a breakthrough to reach so compromise with Xiao Jianming.
