Chapter 284 Misunderstanding

Si Wan was instantly choked by his daughter's question. After an awkward laugh, he found an excuse.

"I'm really concerned about your marriage, aren't I? And since you're expecting your baby soon, you should start planning for the future sooner rather than later. If you can plan early, there should be a result. I also want to see you marry the person you love and have a grand wedding."

Si Wan was completely satisfied because she was thinking about her daughter, and she sounded like a well-deserved good mother.

Xu Yangyang smiled when she heard this, but she could hear the hidden meaning in her words.

"Mom, is it because of what Lu Nan said just now that you want me to be with him? His current strength is so great that he can cover the entire city with one hand and even fight against the royal family. So you think I should marry him so that I can seize the opportunity to gain power over him and become the one who can dominate the world? I can't imagine what kind of gossip I would have to face if I really married him."

Xu Yangyang was suddenly filled with anger.

She was speechless for a moment.

Si Wan was indeed silent. She knew exactly what the person opposite her was thinking.

After thinking about it, she sneered.

Through Si Wan's phone call, she truly felt her cold-bloodedness.

She treated me like a commodity and never treated me well. I was obviously her daughter, but now I had become her tool to fight for power and profit.

Si Wan listened to her ambition being ruthlessly exposed by her own daughter. She was clearly on the phone, but her face turned red and white with anger. In the end, she had no choice but to admit what she had done. After all, she was unwilling to accept that her momentum was suppressed by her daughter.

"Since you're my daughter, why not make some outstanding contributions to our family? Yangyang, I've always indulged you in your wrongdoings. Now that you're finally pregnant with Jiang Runan's child, isn't this also helping you? You two can live a better life, and I'm sincerely happy for you. You can't just misinterpret my meaning like this. It's good to be able to bring honor to our family, but this is killing two birds with one stone."

Listening to Si Wan's words, Xu Yangyang felt her hand holding the phone tremble slightly, and tears welled up uncontrollably. Her voice trembled as she slowly spoke, "Mom, what do you think of me? Just a tool to make money? I didn't marry Jiang Runan to get any benefits from his family, but if you want to use me like this, there's nothing I can do."

Xu Yangyang felt the anger rising in her heart, and she could hear it in every word she said. She was very disappointed.

Si Wan hesitated for a moment. She didn't expect Xu Yangyang to be angry. After thinking about it, she decided that she couldn't be so tough with her, especially since she was pregnant.

"Yangyang, I was a little impulsive just now. I didn't really mean to think anything bad about you. What I want to say is that you also like Jiang Runan. He is very capable now, and marrying him is a good choice for you. That's why I wanted to ask you if you have any plans for a grand wedding. I want you to marry in a grand manner and live a happy life in the future."

Si Wan patiently explained everything to her daughter again, but she never expected that when these words fell into Xu Yangyang's ears again, she felt an unprecedented impatience.

She frowned, then suddenly became excited, her tone rising, a sign she had never shown before.

"I want to be the boss of my marriage, Mom. If you really want to do this for my own good, then stop interfering in my affairs!"

When she was about to hang up the phone, she suddenly heard Si Wan on the other end of the phone also angry, and she began to threaten and warn Xu Yangyang in the same tone.

"Yangyang, you're not a child anymore. You should have your own plans now. No matter what happens, don't be willful. I know you have your own ideas about the wedding, but I'm doing this for your own good. Besides, you're in the royal family now, not an unknown person. So why don't you just be a good person? I'll help you plan the wedding."

Si Wan tried his best to comfort Xu Yangyang, using all his words and patience.

However, she didn't expect that Xu Yangyang didn't appreciate her so-called good intentions at all.

She snorted coldly, obviously irritated.

The more Si Wan said this, the more Xu Yangyang refused to let her have her way.

"I don't want to marry Jiang Runan. No matter whose child I'm carrying, it has nothing to do with him. I will find my own happiness."

After saying this, she hung up the phone, but her emotions were still not calming down.

Her goal was achieved. Si Wan was very angry after the call was hung up.

But Xu Yangyang never thought that what she said would be accidentally heard by Jiang Linan who happened to be standing at the door.

He suddenly stopped pushing the hand away, lowered his eyes, and a hint of depth and disappointment flashed in his eyes.

He could hardly describe the bitterness in his heart at this moment. He just thought that Xu Yangyang didn't like him and was only with him because of the child.

Jiang Linan felt bitter in his heart, but then he thought, Xu Yangyang actually had amnesia now, so it was normal for her not to remember him, and there was no need to force her if she didn't like him.

After he figured this out, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Xu Yangyang had just finished arguing with Si Wan and didn't think about these things at all.

"The food is ready, it's outside, let's go eat."

Jiang Runan's tone was calm and cold. He did not mention Xu Yangyang's thoughts just now at all. It seemed as if he had not noticed her strange emotions and did not intend to force her.

Xu Yangyang didn't notice anything wrong with him.

She went straight to eat.

She felt a little curious when she saw that Jiang Runan had already prepared a table full of dishes.

"It looks delicious." She took a breath and couldn't help but salivate. She pretended to pick up the chopsticks and eat it.

However, there was a faint smile on the corner of Jiang Runan's mouth, but it was not obvious.

"Why don't you eat?" Xu Yangyang met his deep gaze and asked.

"Yangyang, do you like me?"

Jiang Linan suddenly spoke.

Such a nonsensical sentence froze Xu Yangyang's smile on her face.

She was a little surprised and didn't know why Jiang Linan suddenly asked her this question.

Her smile froze on her face, and she was indeed thinking seriously.

She thought that she had indeed lost her previous memory of Jiang Runan, and it was because he was good to her that she gradually trusted him.

But is this love? She doesn't know.
