Lu Zhanbei held his forehead and chuckled.
In this world, only Lin Wanwan would dare to make his mother inexplicably have another “mother.”
“Promise me. Actually, my mother-in-law misses you a lot.”
Under her incessant coaxing, Ai Ying could only nod. Perhaps this was what she wanted in her heart as well.
“Thank you, Grandma!”
Lin Wanwan hugged her with excitement. She turned her head and showed Lu Zhanbei a sign of victory.
Looking at her smiling face, Ai Ying really couldn’t get angry anymore.
Especially when Lin Wanwan whispered in her ear, “I’ll protect you.”
Ai Ying’s heart softened.
She had no children and her parents had died early. Ever since she fell out with Fu Wanyi, aside from Lu Zhanbei visiting her at times, she was left alone in the world. Now that she had another “granddaughter,” she thought the feeling was pretty good as well.
“Wanwan, if you don’t mind, call me Godma.”
Jokes aside, they shouldn’t mess up by really calling her Grandma.
“Godma!”
Ai Ying patted her hand, comforted. She took out a gift box from the bedroom and said that this was a gift for them acknowledging each other.
Lin Wanwan couldn’t refuse her and could only accept.
After arranging a time with Ai Ying, Lin Wanwan and Lu Zhanbei bade their goodbyes.
Lin Wanwan opened the box and found that there was a pair of jade bracelets inside. The jade was transparent, and it was clear at first glance that it was something valuable.
Lu Zhanbei took a look and was shocked.
“Auntie Ai’s parents left this for her as a dowry. It looks like she really likes you.”
“This is too precious. I can’t accept it.” Lin Wanwan decided to return it to her tomorrow.
“One shouldn’t reject gifts from elders.”
Lin Wanwan placed the box in her pocket. She tilted her head and looked at the scenery whistling past the window.
“I hope both of them can let go of their grudges. If she really didn’t want to go, I wouldn’t have forced her. However, I can tell that she had always been thinking about your mother in her heart. Your mother misses her too. I’ll just be a matchmaker once.”
Lu Zhanbei smiled and patted her head. “Good girl.”
The next day, Lin Wanwan rushed to the production studio and finished filming her scenes. She then went to the TV headquarters to sign the contract for “Beacon Beauties.”
In the afternoon at 3 pm, Lin Wanwan and Lu Zhanbei fetched Ai Ying away.
When they were halfway there, Ruan Baoer’s call arrived.
“Sister Ball, where are you now? I’ll come find you and we can have fun.”
“Aren’t you at Xing Si’s?”
Ruan Baoer’s tone was full of grievances. “Xing Si would often throw me there alone and never ask about me. I heard wolf cries yesterday. It was so scary that I couldn’t sleep at night. I don’t want to continue to be tormented. Where are you?”
“On the way to see my future mother-in-law.”
“Oh. Secretary Fu by the president’s side?”
“You know about it?”
“I do. Our Ruan family’s base camp is in Country Q. A few years ago, I met her at a banquet when she and the president were having an interview at Country Q. However, I didn’t know she was Lu Zhanbei’s mother back then. I heard my brother mention it only a while ago, and I kept forgetting to tell you.”
Ruan Baoer explained chattily, “She even invited me to her house back then and we hit it off well. Sister Ball, bring me along. I’m about to be bored to death!”
Lin Wanwan glanced at Lu Zhanbei with a questioning look.
Lu Zhanbei nodded.
“Ok. Wait for us at the bridge below Kangqiao Avenue.”
“Ok. I won’t leave without seeing you.”
After fetching Ruan Baoer below the bridge, the group arrived at Fu Wanyi’s residence.
As their car stopped, a white sports car drove over leisurely.
