In the evening, when Xia Weilan was playing with Xiaochun in the toy room, she was absent - minded.
"Mummy, what's wrong with you? Why are you unhappy?" Xiaochun held a teddy bear and blinked her round eyes as she looked at her.
Only then did Xia Weilan realize that she had been holding a toy and lost in thought for a long time.
"Nothing. I'm just thinking about something."
"What are you thinking about?" Xiaochun asked curiously.
Xia Weilan shook her head. She was thinking about Lin Yuyan and Mo Guxuan. They had returned, but why hadn't they informed her? Did they have some dissatisfaction with her?
"Xiaochun, do your grandparents treat you well? Have they ever asked about mummy?" Xia Weilan asked Xiaochun tentatively.
Xiaochun thought for a while and shook her head. "No!"
Oh no. Her in - laws probably didn't even want to mention her.
So Xia Weilan lost interest in playing. She asked the maid to take care of Xiaochun and went back to her room. Just as she reached the stairway, she saw Mo Beichen walking upstairs.
Xia Weilan stood still and looked at him. She was about to ask about his parents, but unexpectedly, Mo Beichen spoke first. "Get ready. I'll take you to meet my parents."
Xia Weilan had mixed feelings. It was like the ugly daughter - in - law finally had to meet her in - laws. Now that the moment was coming, she felt a bit nervous.
"Then, then I'll go and change my clothes." Xia Weilan's eyelashes fluttered, and she rushed into the bedroom. After rummaging around, she finally chose a plain dress. She even ironed the already neat dress again with her own hands before putting it on.
Mo Beichen walked in, took her hand and led her out. He unexpectedly found that Xia Weilan's hand was ice - cold. She was really nervous.
"Don't be so nervous. They are well - educated people and won't make things difficult for you."
Xia Weilan thought to herself that it was precisely because they were well - educated that they were the most difficult to deal with. They were more picky.
Xia Weilan remembered that in her previous life, Lin Yuyan would get so angry at the sight of her that her face would turn red. And she herself just liked to oppose Lin Yuyan. How could she not be nervous?
She had never really seen Lin Yuyan being polite and reasonable.
When they arrived at the villa, Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan walked in side by side. They seemed very harmonious.
Lin Yuyan sized up this woman named Xia Weilan for the first time. From the first impression, she thought Xia Weilan was quite delicate. She didn't wear heavy makeup, and she looked quite pleasing to the eye.
"Weilan is here. Come and sit down quickly." Lin Yuyan had an in - depth purpose, but she didn't show it much on the surface. Her consistent politeness made her extremely polite to Xia Weilan.
"Mom, I'm really sorry for only seeing you now." Xia Weilan felt her hair stand on end when she saw Lin Yuyan's smile. In her previous life, Lin Yuyan could never smile in front of her. This smile was so strange.
The more polite Xia Weilan was, the more polite Lin Yuyan became. She smiled at Xia Weilan and said, "I never had the chance to see you. I didn't expect that you are even younger than I thought. Our Beichen doesn't know how to take good care of people. You must have suffered a lot."
If Lin Yuyan said something bad about Mo Beichen, it was all false. In fact, she cherished her son Mo Beichen very much.
"No, Mom. Beichen is more mature and steady than me. He has always made a lot of decisions for me. I'm very comfortable being with him." Xia Weilan said calmly.
This made Lin Yuyan feel even more comfortable. She didn't expect that Xia Weilan not only didn't have the bad habits of those spoiled young ladies, but also was very modest and admired her son.
Lin Yuyan couldn't find any fault with Xia Weilan at this moment. She glanced at Mo Guxuan, and Mo Guxuan also said, "I didn't expect that Weilan is so sensible. It's really a blessing for our Mo family that Beichen can marry you."
This meant that they had recognized Xia Weilan as the daughter - in - law of the Mo family.
Hearing this, Xia Weilan secretly let out a sigh of relief. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating. If she didn't know the temperaments of the two people in front of her and tried to please them, it would have been really risky.
In short, in front of Lin Yuyan, it was right to praise Mo Beichen.
During the meal, Xia Weilan remained silent and well - behaved. This kind of behavior really suited Mo Guxuan and Lin Yuyan's taste. They didn't like noisy women.
Mo Beichen saw that Xia Weilan was a bit reserved and didn't eat much. He couldn't help but pick up a piece of braised pork and put it in Xia Weilan's bowl. "You've been too tired recently. Eat more."
Two probing looks were immediately cast on them. This was the first time Mo Beichen had shown such concern for a woman in front of them. It was really not easy.
Lin Yuyan thought secretly that if the two of them could get along well like this, it would be great. What could be more important than Mo Beichen's feelings?
For the two elders, only when their son was happy could they feel at ease.
"Mom and Dad, I plan to hold the wedding during the time when you are back." Mo Beichen suddenly said, breaking the silence at the dinner table.
"Okay, but we can't be careless about this. We have to let the old master take a look and choose a good time." Lin Yuyan was no longer so opposed to their marriage. At this moment, she lovingly looked at Xia Weilan, who had been quiet. "Weilan, are you tired from your studies? What subject are you studying now?"
Xia Weilan immediately replied, "I'm a sophomore now. I'm studying jewelry design, and I'm also taking an elective course in management. I'll get two certificates when I graduate."
Hearing this, Lin Yuyan was overjoyed. She didn't expect that Xia Weilan was such a hard - working girl.
After Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen left, Lin Yuyan couldn't stop praising Xia Weilan. "Our Weilan is really amazing. She is not only polite and reasonable, but also very hard - working and sensible. I think Beichen just needs such a good wife. She will definitely be good at taking care of her husband and children in the future."
"Then you still wanted to send someone to inquire before. Do you still want to now?"
"No, there's no need. Seeing is believing. What others say may not be true. And I believe in Beichen's taste. The girl he takes a fancy to must be one in a million." Lin Yuyan said reassuringly.
Thinking of the trouble they had taken with the wedding these days, Mo Guxuan also let out a sigh of relief.
In the car, Xia Weilan let out a sigh. She felt that her face was about to stiffen from smiling. The pressure of meeting her in - laws was really too great. She was afraid that if she was a little careless, she would be disliked by Lin Yuyan just like in her previous life.
Mo Beichen saw that Xia Weilan finally relaxed and couldn't help but say, "You don't have to be like this. Just be yourself as usual."
Xia Weilan had pretended to be too quiet today. She even ate very slowly, which made Mo Beichen feel tired for her.
"Hehe, you don't understand. This is called catering to others' preferences." At this time, Xia Weilan was in the mood to joke.
"You little imp!" Mo Beichen glanced at her, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. It had to be said that after Xia Weilan's performance, his parents were very fond of her and directly agreed to hold the wedding ceremony.
The next day, when Lin Yuyan just came downstairs for breakfast, Liu Yinyin was already sitting respectfully on the sofa in a plain dress, waiting for her.
"Mom, you're awake. I think the weather is nice today. Later, I'll accompany you to take a walk and relax." Liu Yinyin also looked sensible and submissive in front of Lin Yuyan.
"Okay. Have you had breakfast? If not, have it with me." Lin Yuyan didn't like Liu Yinyin very much, but she wasn't very repulsive either.
"Okay. I'll have breakfast with you." Liu Yinyin immediately stood up and followed Lin Yuyan into the dining room.
Just as they were having breakfast, Liu Yinyin couldn't help but tentatively ask, "Mom, have you met your daughter - in - law?"
"Yes, I have. Weilan is a very nice girl." Lin Yuyan praised.
Liu Yinyin's heart skipped a beat. What was so good about Xia Weilan? Was it necessary to praise her right away? No, she couldn't let Xia Weilan get along well with Lin Yuyan so smoothly. Otherwise, her position in the Mo family would be even more embarrassing.
"Mom, you don't know. Weilan is quite pitiful. She almost had an accident last time. Fortunately, Beichen blocked a knife for her. Otherwise, with Weilan's delicate skin, she would have been disfigured." Liu Yinyin pretended to be kind and said.
"What did you say? Beichen blocked a knife for her? When did this happen?" Lin Yuyan couldn't eat anymore. She asked nervously.
"It was just last month. Beichen had to lie in the hospital for a long time. The doctor said that if the wound had been a little bit off, he wouldn't have been saved." Liu Yinyin exaggerated.
