Ling Yan nodded: "I won't swallow my anger forever, but she is his grandmother and can be considered an elder, so I will bear with it for now."
"What does it mean to be an elder? If the elder is virtuous, then the younger generation can obey. If she has bad moral character, no matter how old she is, she cannot rely on her elders to bully the younger generation." Xia Momo snorted.
"Momo, don't worry about me. I will take care of myself. I'm going to take the first step and talk to you another day." Ling Yan said as she took the bag.
"Okay, call me if you need anything." Xia Momo stood up and said goodbye.
Ling Yan left Xia Momo's company and drove directly to the cafe where the old lady had afternoon tea.
As soon as she stepped into the box, she saw four old ladies sitting inside, all of them dressed richly and with serious faces. They must be the old ladies' old best friends.
"Here?" The old lady looked at her sideways and said, "Come here and help us make tea."
Ling Yan immediately bent over and walked over, squatted beside him, picked up a tea bag, and boiled water to make tea.
"Is this your granddaughter-in-law who secretly gave birth to a child?"
"You're quite handsome, why do you have so many tricks?"
“Some people only have faces but no heart, so what’s the use?”
The old lady immediately raised her hand: "Okay, you two, please stop talking. I'll ask her to come over and make tea for you to drink. Can't you be merciful?"
Ling Yan listened beside her, feeling very uncomfortable. Although the old lady stopped them from continuing to speak, she understood that these words were what the old lady allowed them to say to her. If she really wanted to defend her, she
As soon as they come in, they won't talk nonsense.
"My elder sister still has a good temper. If my grandson dares to do this, I will never forgive him."
"Who says it must be men's fault? Only women can get pregnant and give birth to children."
Mrs. Gu looked at Ling Yan's expression and saw that her face was very pale, as if she was holding back.
She sneered in her heart to see how long she could endure it.
Ling Yan has changed, she is not the confident young lady of the Ling family before.
She is now a woman who can humble herself even for the sake of her children and love.
"Ling Yan, can you make tea?" The old lady asked deliberately when she saw that she was in a hurry.
Ling Yan immediately apologized: "I've never made tea before. I don't know how to make it?"
"This is very expensive tea. It needs to be passed through three passes of water before the flavor comes out slowly. The water temperature should not be too hot. The purest flavor comes from brewing at 80 degrees." An old lady next to her said gesticulating.
"I don't even know how to make tea, but I still want to marry into a wealthy family. Is the threshold for wealthy families so low now? I think back then, in our era, if you wanted to reach a high level, you had to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Flower arranging and tea art were even more essential.
, Alas, today's women think that they are good-looking, so they have to sell out their men." A mean-looking old lady looked at Ling Yan with a look of disgust.
Ling Yan was instigated by their accusations, her eyes were sore, and her heart was very sad.
I also hate that I didn't study well in the Ling family back then, which is why I'm being laughed at today.
"Yo yo yo, I just said a few words and I started crying. Oh, this little bit of patience, will it lead to big things in the future?"
"Young people are thin-skinned. If you say a few words, you will take it seriously."
"My daughter-in-law is very obedient. She comes to say hello every morning without saying a word, and even makes breakfast for me with her own hands. I have a bad stomach, and she often makes me porridge. I was not satisfied with her at first, but now this comparison
, and I think she’s pretty good.”
Old Mrs. Gu let these old ladies pick on Ling Yan, pretending she didn't hear them, and waited to see if Ling Yan would refute.
Ling Yan suppressed the sadness surging in her heart. Although she didn't know what the old lady's plan was and these people were making irresponsible remarks to her, if this was a test, she would try her best to endure it and try not to let her find fault.
Ling Yan continued what the old lady said just now and made the tea. She bent down and brought it in front of an old lady. Unexpectedly, the old lady next to her suddenly stretched out her legs, causing Ling Yan to stumble forward.
The scalding tea did not burn anyone else, but instead burned the back of her hand.
When Mrs. Gu saw this, she leaned forward and stopped talking.
"Oh, your eyesight is not very good, how could you fall down?" The old lady stretching her legs sneered.
The back of her hand stung, and instantly became red and swollen. Ling Yan bit her lip, stood up, and took a tissue to clean up the tea.
"Are you okay?" Mrs. Gu felt that teasing her like this was a bit too much, so she asked coldly.
"I'm fine, it's my fault, I'm sorry." After Ling Yan said that, she turned around and brought a cup of tea and put it in front of one of the old ladies: "Please use it slowly."
Several old ladies still wanted to find fault. Old Mrs. Gu suddenly became a little annoyed: "That's it for today. I'm a little tired and want to go home and lie down."
"Okay, let's break up then." When the four old ladies saw Mrs. Gu getting up, they also left together.
"Ling Yan, please take me back." The old lady suddenly said.
Ling Yan nodded immediately: "Okay."
In fact, Mrs. Gu has a driver, but she wants to embarrass Ling Yan.
Ling Yan drove the car in front of her, got out of the car quickly, and opened the door for her.
Mrs. Gu glanced at the redness and swelling on the back of her hand and frowned.
Ling Yan drove the car away from the entrance of the coffee shop. When passing by a drug store, Mrs. Gu immediately said: "Stop the car."
Ling Yan was startled for a moment and quickly stopped the car. The old lady opened the door and got out of the car.
Ling Yan immediately followed over: "Do you need my help buying anything?"
"No need." The old lady walked into the drugstore alone and came out after a while. She sat back in the car, her face gloomy.
Ling Yan didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately drove her to the Gu family villa.
This was the first time for Ling Yan to come to this villa. She was very surprised. The Gu family used to live in City B. Why did the family move to City A?
She didn't dare to ask and stopped the car at the door.
The old lady was silent all the way. When Ling Yan opened the car door, the old lady took out a burn ointment from her bag: "The back of your hand is red, take it and apply it on it. Don't leave any scars and let Xi Chen think that I am bullying you.
Already."
Ling Yan was stunned, took the ointment with both hands, and said thank you.
The old lady's eyes fell on her, she glanced a few times, and then entered the living room directly.
Ling Yan stood at the door. After being stunned for a few seconds, she returned to the car and stared at the ointment in a daze.
If the old lady really hated her, why would she care about the burn on the back of her hand?
Could it be that, as she said, Gu Xichen couldn't let Gu Xichen see that she was hurt, so he pretended to care?
No matter what, Ling Yan still applied medicine on the back of her hand.
The ointment suppressed the burning sensation, making it cool and very comfortable.
Mrs. Gu returned to the living room and threw her bag aside angrily. Mr. Gu was pushed out of the elevator in a wheelchair.
"Are you angry with Ling Yan again?" The old man is a person who doesn't like to meddle in other people's business. Although he despises Ling Yan's methods, he will definitely not confront her.
"This Ling Yan is like a ball of cotton now. If you hit her, there will be no reaction at all. You really underestimate her." The old lady took a sip of water, with an unhappy look on her face.
