Chapter 209 An Argumen (1/2)

The voice recording ended.

The living room was quiet once again.

Fang Yuanyuan felt awkward to be standing around. She pointed to her room and slipped away quietly. Even Xing Feifei, who was playing with her mobile phone, noticed something amiss—she looked up quietly and saw her mom, Tan Yuechun, whose expression was really stern as well as Xiang Wan, who seemed to be a little sullen.

”Youngest aunt.” Xiang Wan opened her mouth first. ”What do you want me to do by telling me all these?”

Her tone was emotionless as though she was not angry at all. Nonetheless, the heavy, stifling atmosphere seemed to indicate otherwise that she might really be fuming inside.

Tan Yuechun glanced at her fair, delicate face. For a moment, she was a little unsure of what this young lady was thinking about.

”You've heard what Mrs. Cheng wanted for her son. If you want to be with Little Cheng, the Cheng Family is not going to object to it. The unpleasant incident she had with you would also not happen again. What I wanted to say is… the Cheng Family is sincere about this matter…”

”So?” Xiang Wan laughed and repeated, ”What do you want me to do?”

She was really laughing but somehow, Tan Yuechun felt that this niece of hers was like a porcupine—prickly.

”Little Cheng is a great guy,” she cleared her throat elegantly, ”of course, I wish you can become a couple with him. But on the other hand, it is your relationship problem and you're the one who will decide what to do. I can't be forcing you…”

This time, Tan Yuechun had said her words very nicely, but Xiang Wan returned a sneer with a voice dripping with sarcasm.

”Of course, I'm the one who will decide what to do. Moreover, I thought I have already fully conveyed to you what I wanted.”

Xiang Wan looked directly into her Youngest aunt's eyes. At that moment, Xiang Wan's expression was unusually cold and detached that her Youngest aunt had never seen before. ”Youngest aunt, I do respect you and care about you. But, I'm really sorry. I can't follow your wishes and give up on my current relationship… I've said before—I have a boyfriend.”

Tan Yuechun looked at her, dumbfounded.

In her understanding, Xiang Wan was soft-hearted and modest.

It was not that she never argued with her, but she never argued in such a determined and resolute manner.

”So, you're saying that there's no leeway around this matter?”

”Yes.”

”Hah! You're really an ungrateful person!” Tan Yuechun laughed. ”You should know how I have been treating you. But you should have told me you already have a boyfriend so that you won't put me in such a difficult spot…”

She did not continue further.

The words ”ungrateful person” was enough to describe what she was feeling.

Xiang Wan's chest heaved up and down, but her mood was well controlled. ”Sorry, Youngest aunt, it's my fault for not telling you earlier. But… my boyfriend is really good to me, I've never thought of leaving him.”

”Hurhur.” Tan Yuechun showed a disdainful smile as well as a look that suggested that she had gone through or seen all these before. ”Fine, I won't force you. I'll wait and see how long your relationship will last with this boyfriend of your choice.”

”…”

How could she say this?

The Chinese are particular about luck. This was obviously a curse which made Xiang Wan feel very uncomfortable.

Nevertheless, as Youngest aunt did not force her to be with Cheng Zheng, Xiang Wan did not want to argue with her because of this matter and further strain their relationship.

”Youngest aunt, thank you for your reminder. We'll be just fine.”

Xiang Wan thanked her sincerely, but for Tan Yuechun, it sounded jarring to her ears.

”Feifei, let's go.” Tan Yuechun got up from her seat as she looked at Xiang Wan coldly. ”I've said all that I wanted. It's up to you to heed my advice or not. I just hope you will not regret in future.”

”I understand.” Xiang Wan met her Youngest aunt's gaze directly. Her eyes were smiling and her tone, relaxed.

Tack! Tack! Tack! Tan Yuechun gave a snort and left the house with her high heels still on her feet.

It was only then that Xiang Wan noticed that her Youngest aunt and Xing Feifei did not even change shoes when they stepped into the house. The glasses of water that she had served for them were untouched as well.

Somehow, she felt her cheeks slightly hot.

Nobody looked down on her intentionally. It was just that the other party was already standing at a higher position right from the start…

When Tan Yuechun walked to the entrance, she noticed that Xiang Wan did not follow behind to see her off and hesitated for a moment.

This was different from Xiang Wan's usual cautious personality.

Tan Yuechun turned around and saw Xiang Wan still standing at her original spot. She gave a frown and said to her in a stern manner, ”Arrange for a meet up with me together with your boyfriend. Even if you don't want to see me, I still need to let you know about my opinion of him. So that you would not regret in future.”

Xiang Wan nodded her head. ”Okay.”
