Chapter 811: Chapter 810 Lan Lan Chapter 811: Chapter 810 Lan Lan She was not some fragile item; logically, she should have been the nervous daughter-in-law.
“Aunt, you don’t have to be too polite.”
Si Zhilan also found it a bit funny and patted her mother’s shoulder, “It’s okay, Mom. Xiaren is not one of those delicate and squeamish young ladies. A cooked duck can’t fly away.”
Sure enough, Mrs. Si gave her daughter’s hand a pat, scolding, “What nonsense are you spouting, you girl!”
Si Zhilan stuck out her tongue and bounced energetically beside Qiao Xiaren, linking her arm.
Qiao Xiaren smiled. Her previously nervous heart settled down amid the noisy atmosphere. She had been overthinking; Mrs. Si had liked her from the start, so perhaps there was no need to worry too much about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues.
Looking again at the tall figure before her, Qiao Xiaren softly curved her lips, suddenly feeling that everything was heading in a beautiful direction.
There were too many intrigues around. Si Limo himself was not an ordinary person, and his family relationships were probably no simpler than others’. But now, it seemed that even if she really married into his family, she wouldn’t have too many troublesome people and issues to deal with.
However, Mrs. Si was pondering another matter and, for a moment, didn’t know how to discuss it with Qiao Xiaren.
The group left the airport and set the GPS for the pre-booked luxury hotel.
“Mom, why did you suddenly come to New York?”
“It’s all because of Queen Mona from C Country. I heard Miles invited her to attend this fashion show. She called me last time to ask if I was free. Since you and Xiaren are in New York and I had nothing else, I came over. Besides, has she met with you first?”
Mrs. Si glanced at Qiao Xiaren subconsciously, but she seemed to have no emotional fluctuations, apparently unaware of the matter.
It was better she didn’t know, to avoid any misunderstanding and conflicts between Xiaren and Limo.
“I actually haven’t encountered her,” Si Limo answered in surprise, and asked calmly, “I remember it’s been many years since you’ve met, why does Queen Mona still have such leisure time?”
Si Limo had initially asked without much thought, but his question caught Mrs. Si off guard.
She started with a bit of a headache, “Limo, do you remember Princess Carly?”
“Princess Carly?” He repeated faintly, with a hint of recognition, “Queen Mona’s only daughter?”
Mrs. Si nodded, “I do like Xiaren, but I’ve always found it tricky dealing with Mona’s side; I don’t know how to refuse. From what Queen Mona implied on the phone, it seems she wants to discuss your marriage to Carly.”
Mrs. Si was always resolute, but Mona was no ordinary person; hence the difficulty.
In the past, when Mona represented C Country in visits to S Country, she indeed hinted at the matter. Mrs. Si only smiled without any response.
She had thought it was a joke, never expecting Mona to still be holding onto the idea.
Regarding her children’s marriages and partners, she never liked to interfere. Moreover, this son was even more elusive than Yelin; if he could show some sense concerning women even once, she would be quite satisfied.
“I definitely don’t want that Carly as my sister-in-law!” Si Zhilan instinctively retorted, “So what if she’s a princess? It’s not the old days anymore. Moreover, the queen in C Country is just a symbolic figure of authority, it’s not like the old times when they could do whatever they wanted!”
