Hearing that it wasn't about her, the girl relaxed a little.
"I know."
"I know you'd better try to persuade me, wouldn't you?"
The girl pouted, "They were already divorced when I found out. Besides, you don't know my sister's personality as well as I do. How could I possibly persuade her?"
Yan Xici's voice had a strong nasal tone, making her sound very innocent.
"Why!"
Yan's mother sighed.
Yan Li's personality was indeed something that Yan Xici couldn't persuade her to change.
She changed the subject, "By the way, I heard from your sister that you're still living with your brother-in-law? That's perfect, don't rush to move out. You should have a good talk with your brother-in-law and try to persuade him. Your sister may have a sharp tongue, but she's also very persuasive. It would be best if you could get them back together!"
As a mother, Ms. Yan also had her own difficulties. To be honest, she felt quite sorry for her eldest daughter.
Over the years, Yan's father's health has been poor, and he can hardly do any heavy work. In order to survive, she can only do a small business of wholesaling fruit in the small county town. Even so, that little money is barely enough to make ends meet.
When Yan Li went to university, her family was really broke. They barely managed to pay her tuition, and Yan Li didn't have a single penny for living expenses. She went to Shanghai alone.
To earn money, she started selling books and notes in her dormitory at the age of seventeen.
They even take on part-time jobs.
Not only did she never mention living expenses to them, but she also sent any extra money home, saying it was for her younger sister.
Later, she even started her own company, bought a house for the elderly couple in Shanghai, and covered her sister's living expenses and tuition fees.
However, it was also around that time that Yan Li's personality became more and more independent and assertive.
As a mother, she felt deeply pained seeing this. She believed that a large part of the blame lay with herself and Yan's father.
It is because they failed to provide their child with good conditions that she has become increasingly eccentric.
They felt guilty towards her.
It was this guilt that made her somewhat compliant with her daughter, always thinking that she should just go along with her daughter's wishes.
I never imagined that after everything went smoothly, they wouldn't even discuss something as big as divorce with their family.
Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes widened slightly, and she instinctively exclaimed, "Huh?"
Should I be asked to persuade Xiao Ran to remarry my sister?
She assured everyone that her displeasure wasn't because of her slight affection for Xiao Ran!
If they still have feelings for each other, I will not only not ruin things, but I will also give them my blessings.
But that's clearly not the case.
Over the years, what I've mostly seen is their cold war, or the older sister slamming the door and leaving.
Even setting aside right and wrong, neither of them is happy, and living like this every day is not a good thing for either of them.
Besides, remarriage isn't something he can decide on his own. Given his sister's attitude towards him, there's no way she'd remarry him.
Upon hearing this, Yan's mother on the other end of the phone said irritably, "What are you 'ah'ing about? Are you out of your mind? Your sister and brother-in-law are divorced, do you think it's a good thing? I asked you to give them some advice, why are you 'ahing' like that?"
The girl pouted reluctantly and said in a sullen voice, "Aren't you just making things difficult for me? You haven't even convinced me, how do you know I can do it...?"
This task is by no means easy.
Mother Yan probably didn't expect her youngest daughter to say such a thing, and a surge of anger welled up inside her for no reason.
"How can you say that? Those are your sister and brother-in-law! Don't forget, without your sister, you wouldn't be where you are today. How do you know you can't do it if you don't try?" Mother Yan's tone was full of accusation and incomprehension.
Yan Xici: "......."
There's no denying that Mom is right. My tuition fees over the years have basically been paid by my older sister. Even if we disregard that, she's still my older sister, isn't she?
She sniffed, lowered her head silently, and didn't know what to say.
Seeing that the girl remained silent, Yan's mother continued, "Listen to me, stay at your brother-in-law's house and try to persuade him, okay?"
After saying that, Ms. Yan hung up the phone.
The girl was left sitting on the sofa, looking lost and bewildered. After a full three minutes of stunned silence, she sighed and casually tossed her phone aside.
Then she reached out her fair arms and hugged those long, bent legs, burying her head in them like an ostrich and curling up.
Only a pair of small feet remained, resting on the sofa.
Suddenly, a feeling of guilt welled up inside me. My mother wanted me to talk to my brother-in-law, but she was secretly in love with him.
If my mother and sister found out I had these thoughts, then...
The simple-minded girl was now completely troubled.
......
As Xiao Ran left the residential area, he saw Liu Min's car parked on the side of the road.
He walked over with a smile, opened the car door, and got in.
Liu Min smiled at him and handed him a bottle of water, saying, "It's hot lately, drink more water."
Xiao Ran took the water and said, "Thank you."
Liu Min turned the car around and drove toward a restaurant on Nanjing Road.
At this moment, the director and assistant director were already waiting in the private room of the restaurant. Their main purpose in coming was to have a discussion with Xiao Ran about the character design and see who he thought the lead actor should be. After all, he was the author and no one knew the character design better than him.
