Chapter 530: Chapter 530: A Mother Knows Her Daughter Best
The sky gradually broke, and the pale blue sky was dotted with a few remaining stars.
Not long after, the sun rose from the east, glowing red like a freshly baked copper platter, shining brightly.
However, Wei Yuning lay in bed, with panda eyes staring at the dazzling morning light outside the window, lost in silence.
It’s no exaggeration to say that she was sleepless the entire night.
This was unheard of.
She had never experienced insomnia before.
Her mom often said that since childhood, she ate well, slept well, and never caused any worries.
But last night, she was sleepless!
She was sleepless!
Tossing and turning the whole night, she just couldn’t fall asleep.
anwhile, the words, “Does being liked by make you feel fearful?” kept ringing in her ears.
And the injured look in her uncle’s eyes floated in her mind all night.
For so reason, hearing those words and seeing his expression made her feel uncomfortable.
But she couldn’t quite articulate that feeling.
In the latter half of the night, when she really couldn’t sleep anymore, she thought of going to her sister’s room to sleep with her, but her clingy brother-in-law sneaked in at so point and wouldn’t even let her in the door, so she was sent packing!
So she lay on her bed alone, enduring it like a night owl throughout the night.
…
By around ten, she really couldn’t lay there anymore, so she got up, washed up, changed clothes, and went downstairs.
Downstairs, four people were sitting, and upon hearing the noise, they turned to look.
Wei Yuning paused, realizing that apart from her dad, everyone else was still there, so she greeted them one by one.
“Mom… sis, brother-in-law…”
But when she reached Wei Junyao, she suddenly stumbled, unable to say a word.
In the end, she swallowed hard and forcefully said, “Uncle, morning.”
“Morning? It’s almost noon, the sun’s about to burn your butt.” Gao Han quipped.
But the next second, Gao Han looked at her panda eyes and furrowed his brows again—what was this girl up to?
“Why are you sporting national treasure panda eyes? What did you do last night?” Gao Han asked.
Wei Yuning: “…”
She intended to cover them up with concealer, but it couldn’t hide them, so she gave up.
Moreover, her skin being fair, the dark circles stood out even more.
“Mom, late at night, what could I possibly do? I just had insomnia, couldn’t sleep.”
“Why couldn’t you sleep?” Gao Han inquired.
Wei Yuning furrowed her brows, “Mom, that’s quite the question. If I knew why I was sleepless, it wouldn’t be called insomnia.”
“…”
Xiao Si glanced at Wei Junyao and then playfully said to Wei Yuning, “Could it be that my sister couldn’t sleep because she’s thinking of soone?”
The implication in his words left room for imagination.
Instantly, Gao Han’s curiosity was piqued.
She looked at her daughter and asked, “Who are you thinking about? Got a boyfriend?”
Wei Yuning was speechless: “…”
She glared at Xiao Si—this man was doing it on purpose!
“Brother-in-law, don’t talk nonsense!” she gritted her teeth and said.
Xiao Si looked indifferent.
Lan Yan, beside him, elbowed him and kindly reminded him, “Stop teasing her, or she’ll make you pay on your wedding day.”
Xiao Si: “…”
Wei Yuning turned to her mother, “Mom, don’t listen to his nonsense. Brother-in-law’s words are not reliable, it’s just plain insomnia. I’m hungry, I’ll go eat sothing first.”
After saying this, she turned and headed towards the dining area.
She feared that if her mom kept asking, all sorts of things would be dug out, making it awkward.
She thought by waking up late, they’d all be out, but who knew they were still ho.
“…”
Once she filled her stomach and ca out, only Lan Yan and Gao Han were left in the living room.
She didn’t ask where the other two went.
“Sis, let’s go shopping later.” Wei Yuning suggested.
Lan Yan didn’t object; she was on leave for a couple of days anyway.
Because her wedding was approaching, the boss gave her a few days off.
“Aunt Han, do you want to co along?” Lan Yan asked Gao Han.
Gao Han replied, “No, I’ve got plans for lunch, won’t join you two.”
Then she glanced at Wei Yuning, “I guess this girl doesn’t want tagging along either, so you two sisters go ahead.”
Wei Yuning stuck out her tongue, “Mother knows her daughter best, my mom is still considerate of .”
“…”
“Alright, alright, don’t be an eyesore at ho, hurry up and go.” Gao Han urged.
Wei Yuning looked at Lan Yan, “Sis, wait for a bit, I’ll go upstairs to put on so light makeup and co down.”
She had to cover her dark circles a bit.
Even if not fully hidden, a little cover would do.
“Mm, go ahead.”
…
They went to Tianhuan Square.
As for shopping, Lan Yan rarely had the chance before, but recently, she’s been doing it more, all thanks to Wei Yuning.
Previously, her focus was entirely on work, so there wasn’t much ti for shopping.
Moreover, to her, shopping was more tiring than working.
But for Wei Yuning, she got more energetic, not feeling a bit tired.
Even though her physical stamina wasn’t bad, when compared to Wei Yuning in this regard, there’s no comparison.
It wasn’t physical fatigue, but ntal exhaustion; that feeling was indescribable.
After two hours had passed, her energy waned, while the girl beside her beca more spirited.
Especially she hadn’t slept all night; she truly admired the physical strength of young people.
“Sis, I want to drink bubble tea to boost my spirits, is it okay? Just this once.”
Wei Yuning held Lan Yan’s hand, pleadingly.
She asked this because Lan Yan wouldn’t let her drink too much bubble tea. She used to love it, but since her sister found out, she forcibly changed her habit.
Her sister said drinking too much bubble tea was bad for health, citing various ingredients inside; she couldn’t rember all the reasons, but after hearing them, she indeed got a bit scared and changed.
But sotis, the craving was there.
Lan Yan eyed her, and seeing her in a bad mood, relented, “Okay, go ahead.”
Once allowed, Wei Yuning ran to order a vintage cake bubble tea.
She actually just wanted sothing sweet.
Lan Yan received a call right then, so she didn’t follow her but stood at her spot to answer the call.
Just when she hung up, she heard a quarrel in front.
And then, she heard Wei Yuning’s voice.
She hurriedly walked over.
When Lan Yan went over, she saw Wei Yuning arguing with a woman, but since the woman had her back to her, she didn’t know who she was.
When she reached Wei Yuning, she saw her clothes were wet in front and asked, “Ningning, what’s going on?”
Wei Yuning raised her hand, pointing at the woman opposite, and said, “She splashed it!”
Lan Yan then turned her head and saw that Jiang Huai was also there.
And the person Wei Yuning had just pointed at happened to be Mrs. Jiang.
She had seen them a few tis before, so she still rembered.
Jiang Huai didn’t expect to et Lan Yan here.
Lan Yan’s gaze fell on her slightly bulging belly, only then realizing she was pregnant.
Lan Yan was aware of her marriage because she had ntioned it before, but she didn’t attend her wedding.
After that, she rarely saw her because she seldom visited the hospital.
Even when she did, they never t.
Wei Yuning spoke again, “Sis, she splashed first, and she insulted you, so I just talked back to her.”
Wei Yuning had just placed an order and was waiting on the side when, coincidentally, Jiang Huai and her mother ca to pick up their al.
At first, it was nothing because she didn’t know them, but when she heard them ntion Lan Yan and Xiao Si in their conversation, she looked up at them.
Even if there are people with the sa na, it couldn’t be such a coincidence, and even Xiao Si having the sa profession as a doctor was too much of a match, so it definitely wasn’t a coincidence.
She was imdiately displeased upon hearing it and went up to say a few words to Mrs. Jiang, who then splashed her with the tea she just picked up.
“And she said you stole her brother-in-law, and if you hadn’t, her daughter would have been the one marrying Xiao Si.”
Lan Yan listened to Wei Yuning’s words, coldly glanced at Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang felt sowhat guilty, not daring to et her eyes.
Jiang Huai didn’t expect her mother’s words to be overheard by soone who knew Lan Yan.
She herself felt sowhat awkward.
She looked at Lan Yan and apologized, “I’m sorry, Dr. Lan, my mom didn’t an it like that, she misunderstood. I will explain it clearly to her later.”
Her explanation seed feeble, mainly because she didn’t know how to explain such things.
Lan Yan looked at her indifferently, her tone was bland, but her words carried a hint of chill and a strong warning.
“Miss Jiang, you’re married and about to be a mother. I hope you ascertain who the father of your child is. The child is innocent, don’t tarnish him.”
After speaking, her gaze fell back on Mrs. Jiang, “Furthermore, there is no competition between your daughter and ; even without , your daughter wouldn’t marry into the Xiao Family. I don’t deny that Xiao Si pursued your daughter initially, but your daughter didn’t accept it; she gave it up voluntarily, which isn’t anyone else’s fault. Besides, this has nothing to do with at all!”
Regarding the fact that Xiao Si had pursued Jiang Huai, she indeed had a slight grudge before, but now she’s desensitized to it.
There’s nothing awkward or troubling about it, as long as she is the one with him.
“You all missed the chance, which just shows you’re not suitable, not fated, so don’t talk about these aningless things anymore, it’s nauseating to hear.”
Jiang Huai and her mother’s faces looked exceptionally unpleasant.
But they couldn’t refute anything because she wasn’t wrong.
It was the first ti that Wei Yuning saw her sister being so eloquent, leaving her sowhat stupefied.
After Lan Yan finished speaking, without waiting for them to say anything, she pulled Wei Yuning away.
“Let’s go, change your clothes first.”
Lan Yan took her into a won’s clothing store and picked out a piece of clothing for her to change into.
After Wei Yuning changed into new clothes, she ca out.
“Sis, I’m done changing.” Wei Yuning looked at her and suddenly asked, “Sis, did brother-in-law pursue that woman before?”
Wei Yuning didn’t know about this matter.
Lan Yan said, “Everyone has a past, there’s nothing much to say about it.”
The reason stands, but Wei Yuning still complained, “Was brother-in-law blind back then? How could he fancy her?”
“You can’t bla brother-in-law like that. Everyone misjudges sotis, it’s not a big deal. Alright, let’s go get your tea and have lunch later.”
“Oh, alright.”
“…”
Afterward, the two chose a grilled fish restaurant, took a number, and got a table after a few minutes’ wait.
As soon as they finished ordering their dishes, Wei Yuning looked up and remarked, “No matter where you go, you can always bump into them. So persistent, aren’t they?”
Lan Yan didn’t know what she was talking about, but she turned her head along her gaze and saw Jiang Huai walking in with her mother and two other n.
One looked relatively young, and the other seed older, but not Father Jiang since she had t him before.
But all these people had nothing to do with her, so she withdrew her gaze.
Then she said to Wei Yuning, “Don’t bother with these things. It’s a public place, and they have a right to be here too.”
Quite coincidentally, Jiang Huai and her group sat at the table behind them.
Jiang Huai and her mother naturally saw Lan Yan, but they didn’t say anything.
The two n didn’t know Lan Yan and Wei Yuning, so they wouldn’t say anything either.
Jiang Huai and the others ordered their food as well and sat waiting for it to be served.
At this point, her brother Jiang Kai spoke up, “Sis, don’t you know people from the Xiao Family?”
When Jiang Huai heard his words, she instinctively glanced at Lan Yan’s table, but she could only see Lan Yan’s back and her expression.
Jiang Huai knew what her brother wanted to ask but didn’t want to discuss it here.
“I don’t know them, and don’t ask ,” she said coldly.
Jiang Kai was imdiately displeased.
He looked at Mrs. Jiang, complaining, “Mom, you see how my sister treats , I haven’t even said anything yet, and she just refuses.”
Mrs. Jiang glanced at Jiang Huai, thinking about what happened earlier, so she didn’t dare to say much, especially with Lan Yan sitting at the next table.
“Son, your sister is pregnant now, so don’t bother her all the ti; anything you want to say, tell us at ho, alright?” Mrs. Jiang said.
As soon as Jiang Kai heard her say that, he was instantly displeased.
Because in his mory, his parents were always on his side, and whatever demands he made, they would agree.
But now…
“Mom, am I still your son?”
He suddenly raised his voice.
Imdiately, he attracted the attention of everyone around.
Other custors looked at their table, faces full of confusion.
Mrs. Jiang felt embarrassed upon being watched by so many people.
She quickly grabbed his hand, persuading, “Keep your voice down, of course, you’re mom’s baby son, but this isn’t the ti to talk about these things, can we discuss them at ho?”
Mrs. Jiang’s tone was even slightly humble.
The man sitting next to Jiang Kai was Jiang Huai’s husband, Duan Changgeng.
The Duan Family wasn’t any large family, just an ordinary working-class family; he was a middle school teacher, and his marriage to Jiang Huai was arranged by their families.
Regarding the Jiang family’s situation, he was well aware of it before deciding to marry her.
Previously, he had brought out so money to help her brother repay debts.
But he made it clear to Jiang Huai that this was a one-ti thing, and he wouldn’t manage her brother’s affairs in the future.
So, when Jiang Kai suddenly threw a tantrum, he rely furrowed his brow and said nothing else.
“Mom, it’s all your fault for stopping my sister from being with that Xiao guy back then, now you regret it! If it weren’t for you, my brother-in-law would be Xiao Si. He is a Xiao family mber, then would I be afraid of those people? Plus, I could have as much money as I want! But now I have nothing, and my sister married a coward of a husband!”
With Jiang Kai’s words, everyone’s face present changed…
And quite coincidentally, there stood two tall figures right behind them.
After finishing his business, Xiao Si ca over to find Lan Yan.
“Jiang Kai, shut up!”
