"Here, I bought you something. It’s a token of my affection,"
Inside the exquisitely wrapped bag was a handfuls of jewelry. Ge Lin thought a young girl like Yu Ting would appreciate such gifts so she bought them.
Her plan was to win over Yu Ting in one fell swoop.
Yu Ting was a bit stunned as she looked at the woman who was about the age of her mother and the beautifully wrapped box. She didn’t know how to react.
It was the first time she had ever seen an elder giving a younger person such expensive gifts.
"Oh... That’s not necessary," Yu Ting glanced at Ge Lin who was slightly too eager, sensing this isn’t as simple as it seemed, she decisively refused.
"Don’t be shy with me, just accept it." Ge Lin insisted, persistently forcing the gifts towards Yu Ting.
Lu Nanchen watched this woman for a while. He had some impressions of her, and then he tightened his grip on Yu Ting’s hand. His handsome face and muscular body stiffened.
He wanted to see what she was trying to convey.
"Really, it’s unnecessary. Thank you, Happy New Year."
Yu Ting again refused. Even though she had just referred to herself as "aunt," she couldn’t recall who this person was. She had absolutely no recollection of her.
She guessed she must not have met her before.
And now suddenly, she showed up bearing these gifts.
"Oh, why are you being so polite to your little aunt? Don’t worry, just take it," Ge Lin continued to speak, laughing playfully at Yu Ting.
Finally, she stopped.
Though Ge Lin was Lu Nanchen’s aunt, her entire focus has been on Yu Ting, throughout their conversation. She occasionally threw smiles at Lu Nanchen.
Anyone who wasn’t aware might think that she was Yu Ting’s aunt.
Facing the overly familiar Ge Lin, Yu Ting became more cautious. A crafty flicker passed through her eyes.
After this, Ge Lin, acting very familiar, started to chat with Yu Ting about various topics.
Such as whether her marriage was happy, how was her recent business venture going, and what were her future plans.
All these questions were asked.
Yu Ting replied, "Happy."
"Lost money."
"Keep losing."
Mimicking Lu Nanchen’s way of speaking, Yu Ting politely answered Ge Lin’s questions.
Lu Nanchen, who was sitting by the side, deepened his frown as he listened.
Yu Ting’s answers did not dampen Ge Lin’s enthusiasm, but made her even more excited. The smile on her face became even more brilliant.
Money! This girl really has money.
It’s just a waste for her to be with Lu Nanchen, who is not ambitious at all.
"So, what kind of man do you like?"
Yu Ting, who’s already married, was bewildered: ?
She could clearly feel the grip of the man beside her tightening. Yu Ting was also confused.
"Mom, I don’t think it’s right for you to ask that." A male voice came from behind, and then a well-groomed young man appeared. He was ready to meet relatives in the morning and was well-dressed from head to toe.
He’s probably in his early 20s.
With a face like a young boy, he wore a suit during his New Year’s family visit.
Just like Ge Lin, he directly approached Yu Ting the moment he arrived, evaluated her from head to toe, and showed a smiling face.
She’s really beautiful.
How can Lu Nanchen be so lucky?
Upon seeing another stranger, Yu Ting didn’t react much, her eyes fell on Ge Lin, curious about what she was up to.
After more sporadic chatting with Yu Ting, Ge Lin chuckled, "Ting Ting, my son also wants to be an artist, he’s in his senior year in Film School. What do you think?"
