"No," Ah Chen said with a smile, "I’ve just grown up and suddenly understand a lot of things. Doesn’t that make Mom happy?"
"You must have been wronged, otherwise, how could you have grown?" Bai Huii said, her gaze stubborn, "Tell Mom, what happened?"
Ah Chen knew she had to speak up, for this Commissioner, who had a delicate appearance that might seem unremarkable to many, was accommodating, yielding, and compromising towards the Lu Family, living like a transparent person.
So people thought she was timid, weak, cowardly, and even not smart enough. If she were strong and clever, marrying into the Lu Family would have been glamorous, and she could have secured more benefits for herself over the years.
But she had her own persistence and determination.
Only she knew what she wanted.
"I just suddenly felt that Yu Xiaoran is not an easily moved person, and it’s beco pointless," Ah Chen revealed the Commissioner’s experience.
Bai Huii relaxed a bit; it turned out her love path was blocked.
"Originally, you could have refused. As long as you’re unwilling, the Lu Family won’t force you into marriage," Bai Huii said, "You are my daughter, Bai Huii’s daughter, and have no obligation to fulfill the Lu Family’s marriage contract."
Ah Chen laughed and leaned on Bai Huii’s shoulder: "It’s rare to hear Mom speak so firmly, you’re quite confident like this, like a lady boss."
"How could Mom be like a lady boss?" Bai Huii showed a helpless smile. She had stayed at ho for so many years, what kind of confidence could she have?
She was very unfamiliar with the outside world.
"Mom’s knitting skills for scarves, if brought to a stall, would at least draw a large crowd," Ah Chen picked up a half-knitted scarf beside her, genuinely well-made, with very stylish patterns, "If placed in so shopping malls with a big brand tag, no one would doubt it."
Bai Huii was a little stunned, looking at the scarf, and this ti, she didn’t refute.
Even Lu Mingxue didn’t mind wearing the scarves she knitted when going out, and they matched many occasions.
Her eyes brightened for a mont, and a special feeling arose in her heart, but she couldn’t quite grasp what it was.
"If Mom really wants to knit a red scarf and a white one for , then my winter clothes can all match," Ah Chen said.
Bai Huii responded, "Mom can knit you other colors too, so they match every outfit, and all the styles will be different."
In an instant, various scarf styles appeared in her mind, all wrapped around her daughter’s neck.
"Two are enough, it shouldn’t be too tiring." Ah Chen quickly advised.
Bai Huii straightened her posture: "Do you have any plans now? If you don’t want to go on, I can discuss with your dad about the possibility of a divorce."
Even if only a month has passed, this is her beloved daughter. Even knowing it might be difficult, she still wants to fight for it.
She had never asked for anything since marrying into the Lu Family.
"No need for now," Ah Chen shook her head, "I’ll handle these things, Mom, don’t worry, I just ca back to see you today."
She had no intention of insisting Bai Huii leave the Lu Family, as the Commissioner had said, everything depends on Bai Huii’s own wishes.
"What does Mom think of the current life? In the Lu Family."
Bai Huii was slightly stunned, then smiled: "It’s pretty good."
"Aren’t you tired, or unhappy?"
Bai Huii sighed inwardly, it seems her daughter has really understood a lot, even if it’s only been a short month, she feels a bit pained.
She knew that an arranged marriage was never pleasant; even though her son-in-law, Yu Xiaoran, seed good in many people’s eyes, there was no emotion between the two, and it was only her daughter’s one-sided feelings, destined to be painful. In that case, she’d rather her daughter only liked Yu Xiaoran’s status, position, and money, as it would make things happier.
Once emotions are involved, it’s different.
"All is quite good."
"Mom, that answer isn’t exactly to the question asked. My question was about whether you’re tired or unhappy."
Bai Huii chuckled and said, "At the beginning, it was quite tiring, often not happy, but Mom can understand them. Now we get along peacefully, many tis Mom is alone at ho, mostly just seeing them in the morning and evening, quite used to it. Mom doesn’t get tired, the house has everything needed, and there are helpers to take care of things. As for being happy or not, there’s no particular feeling."
Life is very plain now.
"Mom also prepares things for them, and they just casually discard them to the side, are you okay with that?"
Bai Huii replied, "A bit, but I got used to it. Can’t just prepare things for your dad and you, right? We’re all family, okay, stop asking Mom now. It’s been over twenty years like this, and it’s quite good now, so don’t worry."
"Okay, no more ntioning it."
According to Bai Huii’s current situation, she seemingly has no wish to leave the Lu Family.
Ah Chen decided to not care about this for now, to see how things develop later.
The cook finished making the food, Ah Chen ate at the dining table, while Bai Huii sat beside knitting, and the mother and daughter occasionally chatted.
At this mont, soone walked in from outside.
In that instant, Ah Chen distinctly felt a gaze fall on her, sowhat special.
She slightly lifted her head, trying to catch the fleeting expectation in the newcor’s eyes.
Another reincarnator?
The newcor was Lu Wangqiu, the second son of her stepfather, a good-looking artist, who debuted in singing, with a sowhat bad temper, quite arrogant. Because he dared to say anything, he strangely gained a following, and having family background as support, no one dared to ss with him.
Today his hair was dyed red, which was unusual as he generally didn’t dye his hair, being an actor, dyeing affects styling. Apparently, he’s recently shooting a drama with a character having red hair, so he dyed it.
Bai Huii sensed the tense atmosphere and was used to it, as it was always like this when they t.
She asked, "Wangqiu, why are you back at this ti? Have you had lunch? The cook just made so food, do you want so? Or should I have the cook make sothing fresh?"
"I’ll have a bit then." He walked to the dining table, sitting opposite Ah Chen, coldly glancing over at her.
There was indeed a reason for his return at this hour—sothing strange had just happened, and he wanted to return and cool off, only to find Bai Chen there.
Seeing her here, he almost thought Bai Ying had taken over her body, but upon closer inspection, it wasn’t so.
Sothing was definitely up with Yu Xiaoran; last lifeti he hadn’t married Bai Chen at this point, nor did it begin like this.
Moreover, the situation with the Yu Family suggested that Yu Xiaoran had probably been reborn long ago.
Whatever Yu Xiaoran did didn’t matter much, but he was sizing up Bai Ying, which was truly disgusting.
Now that he’s also reborn, Yu Xiaoran won’t find it easy to be with Bai Ying, as it was Yu Xiaoran who hurt Bai Ying the most last lifeti, yet he dared!
But since Bai Ying hasn’t co over yet, he really didn’t want much contact with this idiot Bai Chen; yet he’s afraid of missing the opportunity when Bai Ying cos over, which makes him sowhat agitated.
Ah Chen’s smile curved her eyes, vaguely guessing what Lu Wangqiu was thinking and couldn’t help but think: Idiot.
