Mother Yan had dressed for the occasion. When she heard Lu Mian refuting her, her expression turned ugly. “Ah Zhi, why is he so uncultured? He doesn’t even respect his elders?”
Jiang Zhi could understand her ire. However, she was no longer their daughter-in-law. Some things should have been clarified a long time ago.
“Auntie, Ah Mian was right. The past is over. You shouldn’t interfere with my choices now. I hope you will give up on trying to get me and Yan Zhang back together. I don’t like him.”
Mother Yan could not believe her ears. Jiang Zhi had always agreed to everything she said, but she had actually refuted her. Knowing that Jiang Zhi now had another man in his heart, Mother Yan became even more anxious to get her and Yan Zhang back together.
“Zhi, you…” Mother Yan sighed, her eyes filled with disappointment. “I know Zhang ‘er has let you down. I apologize on his behalf.”
“Don’t, Aunty. We have already passed that point. You are ruining my life by doing this.” Jiang Zhi quickly stopped her. She could not accept Mother Yan’s apology.
Mother Yan’s eyes were filled with hurt. She gently held Jiang Zhi’s hand and patted it gently, “In that case, I won’t force you. After all, I watched you grow up. I had a good relationship with your mother, and I don’t want you to fall out with me. Please agree to come to your father’s birthday party.”
Jiang Zhi remembered how Mother Yan used to take care of her, so she could not turn her away. Moreover, she was her mother’s best friend. After much hesitation, Jiang Zhi finally agreed. “Okay, Aunty, I’ll make time to go…”
Mother Yan smiled in satisfaction and helped push loose hair out of Jiang Zhi’s eyes. “Ah Zhi, you’ve been suffering these days. You seem to have lost a lot of weight. Don’t work too hard. If you need anything, tell me.”
“Zhi Zhi, it hurts…” Lu Mian suddenly called out and interrupted Mother Yan and Jiang Zhi’s conversation. Jiang Zhi turned around and walked back after hearing him.
“Where does it hurt?” Jiang Zhi frowned and looked at the wound on Lu Mian’s body. She checked it carefully, afraid that she would miss something.
Lu Mian smiled as if he had gotten what he wanted. He pointed at his neck and said in an aggrieved tone, “Here, Zhi Zhi, help me take a look.”
Jiang Zhi looked at Lu Mian pointing at his neck and was confused. How did that spot get hurt?
Although she was suspicious, she still looked over. Unexpectedly, Lu Mian lowered his head slightly and kissed Jiang Zhi’s forehead.
Jiang Zhi touched her forehead with a red face and glared at Lu Mian. She pouted and said, “You tricked me?”
“Why can’t I trick to my future wife?” Lu Mian spoke very loudly and pointedly for Mother Yan to hear.
Mother Yan naturally noticed the situation over there, but good manners did not allow her to lose her temper. She just turned around unhappily, holding back her anger and waiting for Jiang Zhi to return to her side.
Jiang Zhi also understood Lu Mian’s intention, so she let him go. “Aunty, Mian is injured, and I still need to take care of him. I won’t keep you waiting any longer.”
Mother Yan nodded, picked up her handbag, and stood at the door. She urged her once more. “You must come to your father’s birthday party. Zhi, I hope to see you there.”
“Old Madam Yan, don’t worry. I… will go with her.” Lu Mian could tell what Mother Yan was thinking at a glance. She was still trying to pair Zhi Zhi and Yan Zhang up at the birthday party?
Mother Yan frowned unhappily but did not say anything. She left the room and said, “Ah Zhi, I’ll go see Zhang’er first. Take care of yourself.”
“Okay, bye, Auntie..” Jiang Zhi watched Mother Yan leave, the smile on her face gradually disappearing.
