Li Dahai has never interfered much with Li Tangyan's marriage.
Not to mention that he had already started a new family after the divorce, and just wanted her to decide on the auspicious date before letting him know.
As for Wu Chang, she always carried a certain prejudice against the legal profession.
So much so that when Li Tangyan told the two that they had already planned to get married, her attitude wasn't exactly friendly.
Although there was still some estrangement between the two sides, Li Tangyan eventually took Wen Zhaonian to the place where Wu Chang was currently living.
That day, when Wu Chang saw Wen Zhaonian coming with Li Tangyan, she scrutinized him for a moment.
Finally, the image landed on Wen Zhaonian's face.
He curled his lip, crossed his arms, and said with a hint of disdain, "This is the person you chose?"
"It doesn't look much better than the one I picked for you, does it?"
From the moment Wu Chang saw Wen Zhaonian, all she could think of him was that he was just a bit better looking.
But good looks can't put food on the table.
Li Dahai was quite handsome when he was young, but in the end, he accomplished nothing and had a lot of trouble in middle age.
Wu Chang's almost dismissive evaluation of Wen Zhaonian reached Li Tangyan's ears, causing her to frown involuntarily.
She immediately stepped forward to block his way, and the smile she had worn before entering the door vanished completely.
His expression was somewhat serious: "Mom, this isn't how you taught me to treat guests."
"What? Aren't you going to tell me?!" Hearing this, Wu Chang's voice also rose.
He then raised his hand and pointed directly at Wen Zhaonian behind Li Tangyan, his face full of anger: "And you, what kind of behavior is it to hide behind your girlfriend when something happens?"
"mom!"
Before Li Tangyan could retort, Wen Zhaonian had already grabbed her hand.
He gently brushed his fingertips across the skin on the back of her hand, soothingly saying, "When I came here, I saw a large supermarket downstairs. Could you go buy me something, please?"
“But…” Upon hearing this, Li Tangyan’s brows furrowed even more, and she glanced back and forth between him and Wu Chang, her meaning quite clear.
However, Wen Zhaonian gently ruffled her hair and lowered his voice, saying, "Don't worry, I can handle it."
Hearing this, Li Tangyan stopped insisting.
After saying "Oh," he turned and walked towards the door.
Only after the door was closed again did Wen Zhaonian turn his gaze away.
When facing Wu Chang, his expression remained unchanged: "Auntie, shall we talk?"
Li Tangyan had something on her mind, so she didn't stay out for too long.
I was back in about ten minutes.
By then, the conversation inside the room had ended.
The two sat facing each other, and the silence between them made the atmosphere somewhat oppressive.
Li Tangyan didn't know what Wen Zhaonian and Wu Chang had talked about, but she noticed that Wu Chang's expression looked rather unpleasant.
It's as if there's a hidden, subtle anger, but no outlet for it.
Li Tangyan glanced at the two of them, and finally chose to move closer to Wen Zhaonian, lowering her voice to ask softly, "What were you two talking about?"
"I'll tell you if you guess right." Wen Zhaonian turned around, raising the corner of his eye, clearly not intending to tell her.
Seeing this, Li Tangyan felt that if Wu Chang hadn't been there, she would have given Wen Zhaonian a hard look.
At the same time, Wu Chang, watching the two's little actions, snorted softly.
Although the initial hostility had faded, the tone was still far from pleasant: "Is there nowhere else for you to whisper secrets?"
Upon hearing this, Li Tangyan was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Wu Chang's expression.
She wondered if she really disliked her and Wen Zhaonian for coming today.
After a while, she sighed and said with some helplessness, "Mom, the doctor said you should try to avoid getting angry, it's bad for your health."
"If you really don't like us staying here, then I'll take Wen Zhaonian back now."
"Remember to take good care of yourself while you live alone. I'll come see you another day."
After saying that, Li Tangyan took Wen Zhaonian's hand and was about to get up.
However, the two had only taken two steps when Wu Chang's voice rang out again from behind.
With a hint of barely perceptible regret: "Why are you leaving! Aren't you going to eat?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Tangyan stopped in her tracks.
However, when she turned around again, Wu Chang only left her back view before turning and entering the kitchen...
