“Didn’t he already confirm his engagement with Gu Han?”

Lin Nuan’s slender fingers tightened their grasp on her purse. She answered calmly, “It’s nothing but a rumor…”

“How long have you known each other?”

Lin Chen put in a lot of effort to make himself sound like a big brother.

“Three or four months…” Lin Nuan answered honestly.

Lin Chen began to heat up with anger. Lin Nuan was going to marry a man she had known for only three or four months? She was being too impulsive!

“Do you understand what you’re doing?”

As soon as Lin Chen finished his sentence, Liang Mulan had walked out of the mansion’s entrance.

Liang Mulan fixed her shawl, her eyes focused on Lin Chen’s car, and she walked towards them briskly.

“Mother is coming…” Lin Nuan said as she opens the door and exits the carriage.

Liang Mulan had already spotted Lin Nuan from afar. Her eyes teared up, and she couldn’t help but quicken her steps.

“Mother…” Lin Nuan called gently.

Lin Chen looked down as he lit up a cigarette. He unbuckled his seatbelt and left the car unhurriedly.

“Nuanuan….” Liang Mulan reached forward to grab Lin Nuan’s petite hand. She exclaimed in an accusatory yet relieved tone, “You’ve finally come back home?”

Lin Nuan grinned and immediately got to the point, “I brought back the man I’m marrying so I can introduce him to Mother. We’re going to collect our marriage certificate tomorrow.”

Lin Nuan’s news caught Liang Mulan off guard. She took a look at Lin Chen who just alighted from the car with a cigarette in his mouth. Liang Mulan grasped Lin Nuan’s petite hand tightly and said, “Follow me upstairs.”

Liang Mulan was still acting like a mother in front of Lin Nuan—old habits died hard.

Liang Mulan almost dragged Lin Nuan into her bedroom.

Closing the door, Liang Mulan forced Lin Nuan to sit on the sofa and interrogated, ” Are you rushing to marry some random man… just because I told you to consider marrying your brother?”

Liang Mulan had obviously misunderstood…

She was afraid that the ridiculous idea she proposed—as a result of her fixation on Lin Nuan returning to the Lin Family—had prompted Lin Nuan to panic and find some random person to marry. Such a decision could lead to the biggest mistake of her life.

Liang Mulan scolded her, “You foolish child! If you’re not willing, then it’s fine with me… Do you think I would ever force you to do it? I only thought of that messed up idea because I hoped it would get you to come back home! You can’t act recklessly just because you don’t agree with me! Aren’t you stabbing your mother in the heart right now?”

Liang Mulan couldn’t hide the desperation and care in her eyes; it was a mother’s most raw affection towards her daughter.

Lin Nuan’s eyes grew red. She was truly grateful towards Liang Mulan. Even after the brutal truth had been revealed, she still treated her as her own daughter.

“Mother…” Lin Nuan took Liang Mulan’s hand, her voice choked with emotion.

Liang Mulan wiped away the tears in her eyes and wrapped her arms around Lin Nuan. She made a futile attempt to hold back from crying.

Liang Mulan’s voice was hoarse as well, “Even if you aren’t my own flesh and blood, I did raise you since you were a child. All I ever wanted was for the person you married to treat you properly. That way you can truly be happy. I think I messed up there—I actually came up with an idea that ridiculous to keep you by my side… Alright, my dear. Don’t worry, I won’t mention it again. You still have an engagement with the Gu Family, and as long as your father and I are here, the Gu Family won’t dare to break it off. But you’d better promise me you won’t keep up this recklessness outside! Otherwise, I won’t be able to take it…”

Outside the bedroom door, Lin Ran silently listened to their heartfelt conversation. Her whole body ached as if she’d been thrown into a meat grinder, crushed into pieces.

Lin Ran was Liang Mulan’s real flesh and blood, but as long as Lin Nuan was here, she was treated like some kid she picked up from the streets?!
