Chapter 1294: Chapter 775: Coming to the Door
As the door swung open, a woman in her fifties, with a weary and haggard face, rushed in and glanced around the hall before dropping to her knees.
“Madam, Miss, our family has offended you in the past. Please be magnanimous and spare us. We are now just ordinary citizens from a humble background, unworthy of the noble status of Madam and Miss!”
From her tone, it seemed like an old tale of wealthy ladies bullying ordinary folks. Could it be that after Bao Xiaohua’s family fell into decline, she had traveled back in time and received some training?
Wang Wei said his mom’s personality had changed drastically. Indeed, it seems that way, but only on the surface, the core remains the same.
After all, they say mountains are hard to move, and personalities are hard to change, not to mention Bao Xiaohua is past her prime. It’s not easy to truly change.
In recent years, as Luo Zhenggang climbed the ranks quickly, Wen Xin’s status rose alongside her husband’s progress, and it must have been distressing for Bao Xiaohua.
“Xiaohua, get up, what are you doing?” Wen Xin looked at her helplessly, this one has always been such a bother, and after a few years of not seeing her, she has become even more troublesome.
“If you don’t agree to my request, I won’t get up.” Bao Xiaohua insisted, turning her gaze to Luo Ye, “Miss, our Wang Wei did things in the past that wronged you, but he is different now.
Please give him a chance. He has struggled to get to where he is today, and it’s been so hard! Over the years, he has had no time for relationships because of his career. Now that he has finally met someone he likes, please allow it to happen.”
“Aunt Bao, what have you been doing all these years?” Luo Ye spoke softly.
Grandpa Liu and Granny Liu, seeing this scene, for the first time truly had a sense of the Luo Family’s influence, and instinctively straightened their bodies, staring straight ahead like meditating monks.
Old Sir Luo glanced at the two of them and twitched his mouth before standing up, “Let’s take a walk to the vegetable garden. Ye’er, come find us later.”
“Okay.” Luo Ye responded, seeing the three elders off, then turned back to stare at Bao Xiaohua, “Aunt Bao, can you specifically tell me what you’ve been doing all these years?”
“Doing what?” Bao Xiaohua looked bewildered, clearly not understanding the meaning behind Luo Ye’s question.
“An actress? An actress in period dramas?” Luo Ye hinted.
“What do you mean?” An angry flash passed through Bao Xiaohua’s eyes, followed by a smile, “Miss, you’re giving me too much credit.”
“If you’re not an actress, then speak clearly, don’t be sarcastic.” Luo Ye’s expression turned cold, “I don’t understand what good thing I’ve blocked for your son to make it worth such a display. Is this amusing?
Say what needs to be said or leave, acting like a bullied wife in ancient times. Who are you trying to scare? If your son’s marriage fails, are you going to blame me for it?
We can’t take that responsibility. Even if I said something before, it was nothing but the truth, and your son was present at the time, so he knows full well if it’s true. I advise you to inquire in detail from your son before deciding what to do next?”
Bao Xiaohua hesitated for a moment, then stood up, “Can we talk properly for a while?”
Luo Ye nodded, “Of course, as long as you’re not sarcastic, I can talk with you; after all, we used to live in the same courtyard.”
Bao Xiaohua looked much more earnest than before, “This life, Xiao Wei’s father is in there, in the future, the only one I have to depend on is Xiao Wei. So, even if I have to lose face, I want to seek a future for him.
I admit, I was wrong earlier. After all, once the families weren’t too different, and now, it’s hard for me to accept this difference immediately.
Xiao Wei’s marriage will definitely succeed if you are willing to help; for the sake of living in the same courtyard once, can you help Aunt once?”
“Ha…” Luo Ye chuckled softly, “Aunt Bao, whether Wang Wei and Jing Xi can end up together depends on him.
As an outsider, how could I control their marriage? You’re giving me too much credit. I’ve already said what needed to be said right in front of him.
I don’t speak ill of people behind their backs, and Aunt Bao’s drastic change in attitude is simply a way to create a psychological gap for me, to push me to make the most minimal commitment.
