Chapter 662: Chapter 662: Let’s Move Back to the Old House_1
Jian Yufei quickly nodded, “Alright, please follow me.”
Jian Yufei took her around for a tour—
When Ruan’s mother entered their bedroom, her gaze fell on the king-sized bed in the center of the room.
Jian Yufei was not sure if it was her imagination, but she felt Ruan’s mother’s gaze grew a tad colder.
Jian Yufei forced a smile and said, “Auntie, let me show you Tianling’s study.”
“There’s no need. Tianling manages the Ruan Family business, his study would have many crucial documents and information. It is not nice to frequent that room as things may be misplaced,” Ruan’s mother nonchalantly replied, her tone laced with insinuation.
“…You’re right, I’ll be more careful from now on.”
Jian Yufei smiled softly without showing any sign of displeasure.
Ruan’s mother shifted her gaze, grabbing Jian Yufei’s hand with a smile, “Look at you, so young. Tianling buries himself in work and doesn’t know how to take care of himself.
You young people, when you have fun together, tend to go unrestrained.
For the sake of both of you, I think it will be better if you move back to the old house. As of now, I am quite free, since I have given up the position as chairperson and decided to enjoy my retirement at home.
I can also help look after Tianling and guide you to learn more things at the same time.”
Jian Yufei couldn’t understand. Why did Ruan’s mother constantly suggest that they move back?
She clearly dislikes her, so why does she want them to move back?
Maybe she’s hoping that Tianling will move back in.
She’s just an extra to that.
“Auntie, if Tianling agrees to move back, I wouldn’t mind either,” Jian Yufei deflected the question back to Tianling, smiling.
Indeed, it was down to Tianling to make the final decision, as she couldn’t possibly make it for him.
However, Tianling’s stance was very firm, seeming not to want to move back…
Ruan’s mother smiled even more kindly, “You really think I don’t understand. Actually, Tianling only listens to you; he stays here all because of you. As long as you agree to move back, he will.”
The issue was thrown back at her!
If she disagrees, she will be accused of encouraging Tianling to live separately from his family.
If she agrees, what if Tianling gets upset?
Also, she is not familiar with the old house, and she is not yet married to Tianling. How could she have the nerve to move into his house…
Jian Yufei hesitated and said, “Auntie, it’s not that I don’t want to move back to the old house. The thing is, Tianling and I just got together. We’re just dating at the moment…”
Ruan’s mother immediately understood what she meant.
“Child, you’re still stuck on these formalities. You were originally the daughter-in-law of our Ruan Family, nobody will say a word if you move back now. And it’s not like we’re asking you to live there forever. I just see that Tianling has lost weight recently and I wanted him to come home and recuperate for a while.”
Before Jian Yufei could say anything more, Ruan’s mother interrupted her, her face cold.
“It’s decided then. You both should move back. Ah, as a mother, it’s hard for me not to see my son every day.”
It seems like she has no reason to refuse now…
“Yufei, please pity Auntie a little. Tianling and I are growing further apart. I just want to mend our mother-son relationship…” Ruan’s mother’s eyes suddenly swelled with tears.
Jian Yufei’s heart panicked, “I’m sorry, Auntie, don’t be upset. I agree then.”
“Really?!” Ruan’s mother asked ecstatically.
“Yes!” Jian Yufei nodded vigorously as she knew that she had lost any right to refuse.
