14 Meeting the ‘Wang” 3 (2/2)

No one dared to dispute the matriarch's decision. Yao Ling told Yao Ying what needed to be done on her part for the day and let him help her do it. The matriarch quite liked the efficiency of this couple and nodded in appreciation.

After eating breakfast, Wang Luo Hai and Yao Ying went to work. Yao Ling stayed behind and accompanied the matriarch and Madam Wang. The matriarch had a habit. After eating, she loved to walk around the garden to digest the food. They did just that.

They walked in silence until the matriarch broke it. ”I'm going to be honest with you.” She turned to Yao Ling and her expression was strict, but Yao Ling could feel a hint of softness.

”Actually… at first, I don't really like the idea of having step-grandchildren. I honestly prefer our own bloodline. I really thought what possessed my son's mind, when he proposed the idea,” The matriarch told her bluntly.

”I'm not one with honeyed words. If I hate you, then I will tell you directly I hate you. It's also the other way around. If I like you, then I like you.”

Listening to the blunt words made Yao Ling sweat, but she honestly appreciated this bluntness better. She hated the idea of being stabbed from the back.

”I sent people to check your background.” The matriarch admitted it but didn't sugarcoat any of it. Yao Ling felt like the matriarch was a scary tiger and nothing could get passed through her eyes. Even for her who did nothing wrong, she could instill a bit of fear to her.

She knew the next part of what she said would decide her standing in this household. Heaven or hell. Hated by the matriarch would be an agonizing path. She tried to find something from her expression – whether she liked them or hated them, but she couldn't find anything at all.

Her eyes flickered to Madam Wang, but she also couldn't get anything from her calm face. It felt like this was just a casual talk where they were talking about the weather.

'This is too scary ah~' Yao Ling screamed inside her mind.
