Chapter 17 Dating
Wang Xiujun's eyes widened: "Third sister, my father is your uncle, he's an elder, how could you say such a thing about him?"
Wang Taihua trembled with anger: "I've figured it out now, Yi'an doesn't like me as her uncle, she thinks I'm incompetent, and she looks down on me..."
Wang Yuehua rebuked in a stern voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? When has An'an ever looked down on you?"
Lin Yi'an said, "My uncle is just my uncle, just a relative, not family. I have no reason to look down on you. I just feel sorry for my mom. She's over fifty and still has to worry about her over fifty-year-old baby brother. At her age, her parents don't care about her anymore in the countryside, but my uncle still treats her like a baby, always coming to his sister for help..."
Wang Taihua's face flushed red: "You, you..."
What "old baby"? Who is the baby?
Lin Yi'an looked at Wang Xiujun: "Whose parents are they? Whoever cares about them, they care. You don't care about your aunt, but I care about my own mother."
Wang Xiujun: "It's not that I don't feel sorry for my aunt, I..."
Lin Yi'an looked at her mother and said, "Mom, my brother and sister and I are all grown up now. You've reached the age where you can enjoy life. Don't always think about others. They have everything they need. Love yourself more and be good to yourself."
Wang Yuehua's eyes instantly reddened, and she hugged her daughter, saying, "Okay, okay, Mom will love herself more and be kinder to herself."
Wang Taihua, catching his breath, said, "Sister..."
Wang Yuehua looked at him: "What's wrong? Can't I think more about myself and love myself? I can only worry about you, but I can't think more about myself?"
Wang Taihua wanted to say that he didn't say it was impossible; he just came to ask his sister for help in finding a solution. How did things get so far off topic?
Before Lin Yi'an was found, he was his sister's family member and brother-in-law. When he visited the Lin family, they treated him with great respect. But ever since Lin Yi'an was found, he has felt uncomfortable whenever he visits the Lin family. Lin Yi'an is simply his nemesis.
He was so angry that he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
Seeing his expression, Wang Yuehua felt even more certain that she had seen through his thoughts, and he was acting guilty. She was heartbroken: "Over the years, you've come to me whenever you need something, big or small. How much have I helped you? You came to me when the kids needed money for school, when we needed money to buy a house, when the kids needed money for jobs and weddings, you still came to me. Not to mention those things, the money you used to open your furniture store was also a loan from me, and you still haven't paid it back..."
I've been so devoted to you, I don't expect you to care about me, but you can't let me down.
Wang Taihua: "Sister, you're my sister, how could I possibly..."
Wang Yuehua waved her hand: "Alright, you can go now. I'm not in a good mood today and don't want to entertain you."
"Sister!?" Wang Taihua looked at her in disbelief. His sister was telling him to leave?
Lin Yi'an gently patted her mother's back, trying to soothe her while looking at Wang Taihua and saying, "You've angered my mother. If you don't leave, are you trying to make her sick?"
Wang Taihua: "Lin Yi'an, don't make things worse."
Wang Yuehua: "You should leave now."
Seeing her like that, Wang Taihua could only reluctantly leave with his family.
After leaving the Lin family home, Xu Youhong, the aunt who had been silent all along, finally spoke up: "Ever since Yi'an came back, my sister listens to everything Yi'an says. I think from now on, we all have to step aside."
Wang Xiujun pouted: "Not only my aunt, but my uncle, older brother and sister also spoil her. The whole family pampers her and spoils her. She speaks without any consideration for others and even scolds her own uncle."
Hearing this, Wang Taihua's anger flared up again. Over the years, who had ever made him feel bad? Only Lin Yi'an.
"Let's go back."
Wang Xiujun said unwillingly, "Then what am I supposed to do? You don't care about me, and my aunt doesn't care about me either. What am I supposed to do?"
Wang Taihua: "I'll call your uncle tonight and talk to him about this."
Wang Xiujun was then happy.
Inside the house, Wang Yuehua held her daughter's hand and said, "You're right. Your uncle already has a grandson. His family may not be rich, but they're better off than many people. Why should I worry about him? He treats himself like a precious old man."
She laughed in exasperation as she said this.
Then she said, "Mom will listen to you. From now on, take good care of yourself. In the future, when you get married, Mom will still have to..."
At this point, she smiled and stopped talking, changing her words to, "Not only will I not interfere with them, but I will also have to tell your father not to interfere either."
Lin Yi-an said, "I just hope that both sets of parents can be happy and have fewer worries."
Wang Yuehua felt a warm glow in her heart: "Okay, we're happy."
The eldest son and daughter also feel sorry for their mother, but they are both strong-willed and awkward, and they don't know how to say these heartwarming words to their parents.
Although her youngest daughter is quiet and doesn't like to talk, she speaks to her heart the moment she opens her mouth. How could she not love such a thoughtful daughter?
Wang Yuehua patted her hair: "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll have the kitchen make it for you."
Lin Yi'an: "A light diet is fine, Mom can arrange the rest."
Wang Yuehua nodded.
The second sister, Lin Jingyun, couldn't sit still. Bored at home, she went on a trip with her girlfriends. Lin Yi'an wasn't in a hurry to go to work and planned to rest at home for a day to spend time with her parents.
That evening, Wang Yuehua called Tan Qingwen and learned that she had gone on a business trip that day and they would have to make an appointment another time.
The next day, Wang Yuehua took her youngest daughter out shopping and bought a lot of clothes and accessories for the children. The mother and daughter were tired from shopping, so they ate out.
Just after finishing lunch, Lin Yi'an was sitting in a chair drinking tea and resting when a message came in on her phone.
Lin Yi'an opened it and looked at it, then looked at Wang Yuehua: "It's Zhou Mingshi. He asked me to have dinner with him tonight."
Wang Yuehua smiled and said, "I can wear the jewelry I bought today on my date tonight."
Lin Yi'an: "Mm."
At the end of the workday, Zhou Mingshi left the company on time, got into his car, and said to Assistant Chen, "Go to the Lin family to pick up Miss Lin."
Assistant Chen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."
He started the car and asked, "Mr. Zhou, you have an appointment with Ms. Lin?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Hmm."
Assistant Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhou Mingshi: "What are you laughing at?"
Assistant Chen mustered his courage and asked, "Mr. Zhou, are you missing Miss Lin?"
Otherwise, why would no one have reminded him to invite Miss Lin out for dinner?
Zhou Mingshi closed his eyes to rest and ignored him.
Assistant Chen suppressed his smile and focused on driving.
When the car arrived at the Lin family's house, Zhou Mingshi got out and greeted Wang Yuehua: "Aunt Wang!"
Wang Yuehua smiled and replied, then looked at her youngest daughter beside her: "Go on."
Lin Yi'an looked at her mother and said, "Mom, I'm going to work tomorrow and I'll be staying at the house near the Chinese medicine clinic tonight."
Wang Yuehua: "Okay, I'll have Lingzhi go over there and tidy up the place."
Lin Yi'an: "Mm."
Once inside the car, Zhou Mingshi looked at Lin Yi'an and noticed that she was wearing light makeup today. He complimented her, "You look beautiful."
Lin Yi-an smiled slightly and said, "My mom did my makeup. She said it's okay to wear light makeup on a date."
Zhou Mingshi laughed and said, "Mothers seem to like dressing up their children."
Lin Yi'an asked him curiously, "Does Aunt Tan also like to dress you up?"
Zhou Mingshi relaxed: "When I was little, that was true. Now, all she can buy me are watches, cufflinks, and tie clips. That doesn't satisfy her desire to dress up the child. After we got engaged, she bought you a lot of jewelry, but she was too embarrassed to give it to you..."
Lin Yi'an let out a soft "ah," and Zhou Mingshi explained, "She was afraid you'd be shy, so she said she'd give it to you after we get married."
Lin Yi-an said, "I'm not shy..."
Would saying this make it seem like she really wanted to talk about her aunt's gift? A rare blush appeared on her face.
Zhou Mingshi looked at the faint blush on her face with surprise, then looked away and smiled: "When we get back, I'll tell her, and she'll be very happy."
