Ding Haijing is anxious about his engagement, but his father advises him to focus on protecting Jiang Xiao. Jiang Xiao visits Old Madam Wei, who is disappointed Wei Yixi did not return with them. Jiang Xiao offers Old Madam Wei some special tea, which alleviates her headache and improves her mood. Old Madam Wei then reveals she was upset with Jiang Xiao for choosing someone else over her grandson, Wei Yixi, when she hadn't even met Wei Yixi.

"This engagement can be called off too, right?" Old Madam Wei said again, "I told my son back then to help Yixi break you and that Meng Family boy up, but he just wouldn’t listen to me."

Pfft.

Ding Haijing and Guan Tiezhu couldn’t help but burst into laughter at this point.

What did Meng Xinian do to deserve this?

All good, even this old lady wants to break him and Jiang Xiao apart.

It seems that if he doesn’t hurry back to marry Jiang Xiao, who knows how many people want to break them up?

Jiang Xiao was also sweating.

"Old Madam Wei, honestly, I’m not that great..." Just good enough to match someone like Meng Xinian...

"Who says so? I’ve seen your paintings and heard many things about you. I’ve read your reports and think you’re a great girl to be my granddaughter-in-law. Besides, my son told me that Yixi admitted, you’re the type he likes."

Pfft.

Wei Yixi said something like that?

Is he trying to cause trouble?

Clearly, he hasn’t seen her, probably just some photos in reports.

"So, now that you’re here, I plan to take this opportunity to have a good chat with you, talk about Yixi. You can think about it again when you go back and see if he’s more suitable for you. Let me tell you, times are different now, girls can afford to be choosy now! If you choose our Yixi, I guarantee, no one in the Wei Family will dare mention your thing with the Meng Family kid, we’ll act like it never existed!"

Old Madam Wei said with great dominance.

Looks like she was waiting for Jiang Xiao just to persuade her to change her heart?

Ding Haijing and Guan Tiezhu couldn’t help but light a candle for Meng Xinian, far away in Kuli.

The man is risking his life in such a far place, and there’s someone on the home front trying to steal his girl.

Ding Haijing looked at Jiang Xiao, gesturing for her to prepare to leave.

Jiang Xiao also felt the urge to escape.

Old Madam Wei kept talking about Wei Yixi’s merits, listening to her ramble on, who knew how long she would go on?

Even Wei Yixi’s clean eating habits, leaving not a grain in his bowl, was a huge merit.

Jiang Xiao finally understood why, when she said she was coming to visit Old Madam Wei, Director Wei didn’t say anything else.

He clearly knew what his mother wanted to say.

This was giving his mother a chance to nag Jiang Xiao herself, saving him the trouble of getting blamed every time he called for not thinking of his nephew.

Wei Lengmian, so cunning.

Let Jiang Xiao hear it herself, let Old Madam Wei tell her directly, then she won’t bother her again later.

"Old Madam Wei, um, I heard Madam Cui is also here for recuperation? Is her place far from yours?"

Jiang Xiao really couldn’t hold it in anymore.

If she didn’t forcefully interrupt, she wouldn’t know how long Old Madam Wei would go on.

She felt like escaping.

Old Madam Wei paused.

"You mean Commander Cui’s family?"

"Yes."

"Not far, she’s just a couple of alleys behind, but she doesn’t really like seeing people."

"Can we go visit her?"

"You want to visit Madam Cui? Why?"

"I heard Madam Cui’s heart is not very good, I’m a painter, and painting is a calming activity, so I want to bring a few paintings to show Madam Cui, see if she likes them."
