Chapter 117 Yan Ma's Worries
Sure enough, comments started appearing as soon as the video was posted.
Yang Le Yang: Wow, are cooking videos starting to include PDA now? I'm so jealous!
Piggy is not Coke: This handsome guy has really nice hands, I suggest he be a hand to touch or something.
In about a minute, more than a thousand people have already watched it. Based on this data, Xiao Ran's video will likely receive just as many likes in a few hours.
The girl rubbed her hands together, feeling incredibly excited at the sight.
......
As usual, after lunch today, Mrs. Yan helped Mr. Yan take a nap.
But for some reason, he had a nightmare. He could clearly see Yan Li hovering in front of him, but he couldn't speak to her.
She had been sitting and resting for a while now, but the more she thought about it on the sofa, the more something seemed wrong. So she picked up her phone and called her eldest daughter. Yan Li had become a real worry for her.
My perfectly good daughter has become a divorced woman. Since there's no chance for her to be with Xiao Ran anymore, I need to make sure she finds a partner soon.
Otherwise, with her so busy and everyone around her, I really wouldn't feel at ease.
Yan Li was lying on the office sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling. She hadn't eaten a single bite of the lunch Wang Meng had bought for her at noon.
I was spacing out when my phone rang. I sat up groggily, picked up my phone, and saw that it was my mom calling.
She sighed and reluctantly answered the phone.
Troublesome things always come at once!
"Mom." Because she was in a bad mood, Yan Li's tone sounded sickly and listless.
Yan's mother hurriedly said, "Oh, Lili, I had a nightmare at noon today. I saw you standing at the door, but you just wouldn't talk to me. The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. I still wanted to call you to ask if work was going well these past two days? Are you alright? Nothing bothering you?"
She was genuinely worried about Yan Li.
Hearing this, Yan Li sighed, pushed the lunchbox on the coffee table aside, then leaned back on the sofa, dangling her long, beautiful legs over it. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll try to go back and see you and Dad when I have some free time these next couple of days."
Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've gone home to see my parents; I really should go back for a visit.
Her voice sounded weak and listless, as if she were very tired.
Yan's mother asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you sick?"
If she hadn't gotten divorced, Xiao Ran would have been there to take care of her. Now that she's all alone, I don't know how she's managing. It's really hard for her as a mother.
"It's okay, I'm fine." Yan Li originally wanted to tell her mother about Yan Xici's matter directly, but after thinking about it, she felt it was better not to say it for now. After all, her parents were getting old, and if they couldn't handle the shock, she would only be adding to their troubles.
The more Yan's mother thought about it, the more regrettable she felt: "Oh, Lili, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but you've ruined such a good son-in-law."
Xiao Ran, what a wonderful person.
He used to call me occasionally when he had nothing to do, just to chat, but now, he hasn't called me in a long time.
Suddenly I felt empty inside, as if I had truly become a lonely old person.
It would be better if Xiao Ran wasn't mentioned, because mentioning Yan Li only brings up a bellyful of grievances.
His tone became impatient, "Can you please not talk to me about him?"
I really don't know what kind of spell this person has cast on his family.
Mom, sister.
His own family members are almost becoming his!
This person is a devil!
Her already heavy heart suddenly broke down at this moment, and she shouted urgently into the phone, "What's so good about him? Why do you all like him so much?"
Yan's mother was taken aback. Why was she in such a hurry? She was only trying to help her.
“What are you saying? We like Xiao Ran because he’s good to us. Over the years, Xiao Ran has visited me far more often than you, his daughter. You’re being heartless by talking like that.”
In her heart, Xiao Ran was a good person, and even though they were divorced, she couldn't turn around and say he was bad.
She's fifty years old this year; she wouldn't say something like that herself.
Because his daughter got divorced, he spread rumors about the other person. How is this any different from those people in the countryside who sit at the village entrance all day long, cursing other people's wives and gossiping without any regard for the facts?
Yan Li said impatiently, "Fine, fine, he's good and I'm not. You'd rather have this son-in-law than my daughter, and I've come to terms with it. But now, he's with your second daughter, and I guess he'll be coming to propose soon. You can still be his mother, and he'll still have to take care of you and treat you well. Are you satisfied now?"
Ms. Yan, who had been lying on the sofa, sat up abruptly upon hearing this.
"You child, do you even have a heart? I let your sister stay there so I could persuade you two to reconcile. You don't know how to be grateful, how can you say such things?"
Xiao Ran isn't that kind of person. He's such a polite person; how could he do something so inappropriate?
It's Yan Li who's gotten worse and worse since her divorce; she can even say things like that!
Upon hearing this, Yan Li on the other end of the phone frowned in disbelief.
What?
They're clearly together, okay? You said it yourself and it's like you're heartless?
"Mom, use your brain, okay? That's my own sister. Would I really talk about her like that? What good do you think it would do me to say such things?"
