Chapter 537: Mother-in-law Is Here (5)
In other words, Mu Huan didn’t want to marry him back then. It wasn’t the case that she got to know about her son’s plan to marry through Chenyi, nor was she just using him to seduce her son.
She didn’t even know that she was marrying her ex-boyfriend’s uncle. Thus, she couldn’t be in the wrong.
Moreover, the two of them were just like what her son had said. They could not be considered dating because they had never even held hands.
Furthermore, she knew that her son liked this daughter-in-law a lot at the start, let alone now. He was a cold-hearted son who had never done anything like that since he was young. Hence, she could not bear to give her daughter-in-law the same treatment as her father did.
Also, she heard from her sister that this daughter-in-law had saved Yuqi twice. This meant that her daughter-in-law was a good person. At the very least, there was a guarantee that she was kind.
After all, she knew her niece’s temper very well. She knew how much she liked Ling Wei, and she knew that it was inevitable for her to find trouble with Mu Huan here. Despite Yuqi finding trouble with her, she was still willing to save her.
When good and bad things counteracted each other, it would result in a situation where there was neither fondness nor dislike.
After Mu Huan sat down, Aunty Liang, who had been standing behind Meng Yueman, walked up to Mu Huan and handed her a beautifully packaged box.
Mu Huan was stunned. Was this a gift for her?
Right at this moment, Meng Yueman said, “I made a hasty decision to return. I didn’t manage to pick a present for you properly. I’ll bring you to pick a good one after Chenyi’s grandfather’s funeral.”
Mu Huan quickly took it from her. “Thank you, Mom!”
“Let’s eat.” Meng Yueman picked up her chopsticks.
Mu Huan didn’t know what to talk to Meng Yueman about, and neither did Meng Yueman. She knew everything about Mu Huan, and she didn’t have anything in particular to ask or chat about.
However, just as Mu Huan had surmised, Meng Yueman definitely liked Ling Wei. Furthermore, they had been in a relations.h.i.+p for so many years, so she had a lot to talk about with Ling Wei.
Ling Wei was well aware of Meng Yueman’s preferences, and their interactions were very intimate.
Ling Wei had grown up by Meng Yueman’s side since she was young, and she was almost like her own daughter. Furthermore, Meng Yueman did not know the truth behind the breakup between Bo Junyan and Ling Wei. She only thought that the two children were not on good terms and that the two of them were arrogant, so they broke up. She would definitely feel regretful about their breakup. After all, she had treated Ling Wei as her daughter-in-law since she was young. Despite all these years of hard work and love, they could not become a family.
Hence, a few years ago, she also thought that her son was waiting for Ling Wei and hoped that the two of them could still be together in the end. Hence, she didn’t let him have a girlfriend. It wasn’t until she heard from the person who served her father that Ling Wei seemed to have a boyfriend that she got her husband to investigate. She found out that she was secretly dating a duke overseas, and that was when she realized that it was impossible between the two of them.
Furthermore, her husband’s health was getting worse every year. In a hurry to have a grandchild, she started to urge her son to get a girlfriend and get married.
Her son found it troublesome to find a girlfriend, so she arranged a matchmaking session for him. After the meeting in the Imperial Capital ended, she went to Xiangyun City. Later on, when he got annoyed, she gathered all the candidates that she thought fit the bill, and he chose one from them.
He even said that it didn’t matter whom he chose, and it was soon settled. She hadn’t wanted to cause him any trouble.
