Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Dragged Over
Dong Junhao looked at her with some confusion.
“Why do you suddenly want to get Lan Yan’s forgiveness now? Don’t tell me, you regret it.”
Hu Yunqin said in a somewhat muffled voice, “I do regret it.”
“Huh…”
Dong Junhao sneered again, ignoring her feelings.
“For you to say these things now is a bit too late, isn’t it? I even feel it’s a bit fake.” He said unemotionally, “Since there’s nothing important, you should go back.”
“As for whether you divorce or not, it has nothing to do with me, nor will it affect me, so you can decide for yourselves without asking for my opinion.”
“…”
Two days later.
“My dear mommy, who are you taking me to meet in such a mysterious way?”
Wei Yuning looked unwillingly at Gao Han and asked.
Her mood hadn’t been great these past few days, and she didn’t feel like going out at all.
After all, she couldn’t meet the person she wanted to see.
But the person she didn’t want to see kept appearing right in front of her eyes.
And today, Ms. Gao dragged her out to meet someone again.
Wei Yuning suddenly had a bright idea and asked, “You aren’t trying to find me a partner now, are you?”
Gao Han didn’t speak.
She continued, “Really? I am your own daughter, are you so eager to marry me off? I haven’t even graduated from college yet.”
Gao Han didn’t explain and just went along with her words, “You’re coming out to intern this year, so it’s a good chance to make some more friends without affecting your studies.”
Wei Yuning was speechless: “…You’re really my mom.”
Gao Han: “Of course I’m your mom. If I weren’t your mom, I wouldn’t bother with you!”
“…”
At this moment, she really wanted to escape, but she was already in the ‘thief’s car’ and couldn’t get away.
Wei Yuning suddenly acted like a little kitten, snuggled into Gao Han’s arms, and wheedled: “Beautiful, charming, noble, and elegant Ms. Gao, please spare your poor daughter, will you? I promise to be filial to you in the future.”
Gao Han looked straight ahead and said indifferently, “I’m not your dad; whining doesn’t work on me, now get back and sit properly.”
Wei Yuning: “…”
Forty minutes later.
The car stopped at a private restaurant.
Gao Han got out first, but Wei Yuning remained in the car.
Obviously, she had no intention of getting out.
Gao Han stood by the car door and said, “Wei Yuning, I’ll give you three seconds, get out, don’t make me do it.”
“…”
The next second, Wei Yuning got out of the car with a sour expression on her face.
But as soon as she got out, a familiar black Maybach parked next to her.
She instinctively glanced at the license plate.
Her eyes suddenly lit up; it was Wei Junyao’s car.
She couldn’t tell if she was lucky or unlucky to run into him.
Wei Junyao had just opened the car door, stretched out one leg, when he heard a yell, “Uncle~”
The whole person paused slightly.
When he got out and stood firm, his arm was tightly grabbed by someone.
The man frowned slightly, looked down at the girl holding his arm.
This was the first time the girl got close to him, and she initiated it.
Wei Yuning pursed her lips, looked up, pitifully at him.
The man said indifferently, “If you have something to say, speak up, don’t touch me, let go.”
Wei Yuning shook her head, “Uncle, help me, if you help me today, I’ll do anything for you, as long as it’s not illegal.”
“…”
“What is it?”
“My mom wants to set me up with someone, but I don’t want to.”
When Wei Junyao heard this, he looked up at Gao Han walking towards them.
He called out to Gao Han, “Sister-in-law.”
Gao Han nodded, then looked at Wei Yuning with some surprise.
When did her courage become so big?
Daring to get so close to the fourth brother.
“Wei Yuning, why are you holding onto your uncle?”
Wei Yuning not only didn’t let go but also hid half her body behind Wei Junyao.
Then she said, “Mom, I’m not going in with you, I really don’t like the people you introduce.”
Gao Han looked at her, sighed, “Who told you I was setting you up with someone today?”
“Huh?”
Wei Yuning expressed her confusion.
“Then why are you taking me out today?”
Gao Han looked at her with disdain, “How did I give birth to such an unwise daughter?”
Wei Yuning: “…Why are you attacking me personally?”
Gao Han: “Did I say anything wrong?”
“…”
Gao Han was too lazy to deal with her, she looked at Wei Junyao and said, “Let’s go in.”
Wei Yuning was puzzled?
What does it mean?
Wasn’t Wei Junyao’s appearance here just a coincidence?
After saying that, Gao Han turned and left first.
While Wei Yuning was still puzzled, the man’s deep voice rang again, “Can you let go now?”
Wei Yuning asked, “Uncle, did you arrange to meet my mom today?”
Wei Junyao, without much expression, said, “Not just your mom and me, your dad is also here.”
“Huh? My dad is also here, is today a special day?”
Wei Junyao didn’t answer her, and as soon as she let go, he strode away with his long legs.
Wei Yuning was stunned for a few seconds before catching up.
When they reached the private room, she saw Lan Yan was there too.
Then she directly pushed past Wei Junyao in front and walked towards Lan Yan.
“Oh, Lan, why are you here too?”
Her face was full of confusion upon seeing Lan Yan there.
If her dad wasn’t there, she would have thought they went to the wrong room.
“Enough, sit down quickly, don’t embarrass me.” Gao Han said, “Yanyan is your father’s daughter, which makes her your sister.”
As soon as Gao Han finished, Wei Yuning’s sharp voice echoed, “What?”
She was completely shocked, staring dumbfounded at Lan Yan.
But the next second, she suddenly hugged Lan Yan.
Then she bounced around like a happy little bunny.
“Ahhhh…really? Lan, is really my sister?”
Everyone present: “…”
And Lan Yan, who was suddenly hugged by Wei Yuning, was startled by this move.
“Oh my god, we’re family! No wonder I felt such warmth when I first saw you, wanting to be close to you.”
“I’m so lucky to have such an excellent and pretty sister like you.”
“…”
Lan Yan had no idea how to respond to her.
At this time, Xiao Si stood up and separated the two of them.
“You’re squeezing her too tight.”
Xiao Si pulled her away disdainfully and said.
“…”
Just as Wei Yuning was about to speak, Wei Junyao grabbed her and pulled her down onto a nearby chair.
Without much expression, the man said, “Be quiet, you’re too loud.”
Wei Yuning turned her head to him, looking dissatisfied, and said, “What? How am I loud? I’m just expressing my love for my sister, how does that make me loud?”
Gao Han admonished on the side, “Wei Yuning, do you need a lesson? Is this how you treat your elders? He’s your uncle!”
Wei Yuning instantly fell silent.
At this point, Wei Ting spoke up, “Xiao Ning, Yanyan, since you already know each other, I won’t introduce you again. Today is mainly for our family to have a meal together.”
Then he looked at Wei Yuning, “And also to let you meet Yanyan and tell you the truth.”
Wei Yuning suddenly realized, glancing at the others, she asked, “Did you all know earlier? Am I the last to find out?”
However, her question was met with silence from the others.
Wei Yuning frowned, puffing her cheeks angrily, “You guys are too much, keeping it from me alone, it really hurts my feelings.”
Gao Han replied, “Your feelings don’t matter, alright, stop being so noisy, you really do talk a lot.”
After saying this, she didn’t give Wei Yuning a chance to speak.
She directly looked at Lan Yan, instantly wearing a kind motherly smile, “Yanyan, sorry about that, this girl is usually undisciplined, a bit jumpy, if she scared you, Auntie apologizes.”
Lan Yan replied, “It’s okay, I’m used to it.”
Wei Yuning immediately said, “See, my sister is the only one who’s good to me, all of you just know how to dislike me.”
Gao Han was too lazy to pay her any attention.
Throughout the meal today, Wei Yuning’s mouth didn’t stop.
But she was almost entirely talking to Lan Yan.
Because Lan Yan was the only one willing to talk to her, the others didn’t want to engage.
Wei Yuning directly sat in the empty seat next to Lan Yan, “Sis, will you move back to live with us?”
“If you move back home, I can chat with you every day, and see you every day.”
Saying this, she shifted her chair, then hugged Lan Yan’s arm and rubbed her cheek against Lan Yan’s sleeve.
“So, sis, will you move back?”
Just as she asked, Xiao Si preemptively answered for Lan Yan, “She already has her own home, no need to move.”
Hearing his voice, Wei Yuning immediately frowned.
She glared at Xiao Si, “Why do you have a say in everything?”
“Your sister is with me, of course, it concerns me.”
Wei Yuning didn’t know Xiao Si had already successfully proposed.
“Aren’t you just boyfriend and girlfriend?” she asked.
Xiao Si couldn’t be bothered to explain further, he directly grabbed Lan Yan’s left hand and showed it to her.
“Here, open your eyes wide and see what this is.”
Wei Yuning then noticed Lan Yan was wearing a ring.
“A ring?”
“Sis, you agreed to his proposal?”
She looked at Lan Yan, asking in surprise.
“You silly child, what kind of question is that?” Gao Han said exasperatedly, “Why couldn’t your sister accept Xiao Xiao’s proposal? They’re a perfect match, the key is your sister’s happiness, why meddle so much!”
Wei Yuning glanced at her own mother, “I didn’t say anything, I was just asking.”
“But why didn’t you inform me when you proposed to my sister?” she asked Xiao Si.
Xiao Si answered very straightforwardly, “Why would I inform you? So you could mess it up for me? I’m not crazy; besides, we aren’t that close.”
Wei Yuning: “…”
She pouted, looking at Lan Yan, and said aggrievedly, “Sis, look, he’s bullying me!”
Xiao Si said, “Call me brother-in-law, not just ‘he’ or ‘him’, so rude.”
He completely disregarded the presence of Wei Ting and Wei Junyao, as for Wei Yuning, he still countered her just as sharply when necessary.
Lan Yan, caught between the two, felt her head was about to explode, as if there were two mosquitoes buzzing non-stop around her, annoying.
She chose silence.
And this meal brought Wei Yuning and Lan Yan closer together.
Wei Yuning now had more excuses to find Lan Yan.
Because with the lively Wei Yuning around, the interaction between Wei Ting and Lan Yan was less tense and unnatural.
Thus, Wei Yuning indirectly became a key bridge in breaking the ice between them.
With her in the middle, the sense of unfamiliarity gradually diminished.
When leaving after the meal, Wei Yuning held onto Lan Yan’s hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
Xiao Si maintained his last bit of gentlemanly demeanor, not interfering.
Otherwise, he would have just pulled her away.
“Sis, I’ve decided, I’m going to stay and intern in Yue City, not going back to Hong Kong,” Wei Yuning said.
Originally, she had planned to intern at her uncle’s company after the new year.
But now, she changed her mind.
Xiao Si, hearing she wanted to stay, looked full of disdain, “This isn’t suitable for you, you’re better off back in Hong Kong.”
Who knows if staying would cause him trouble.
Wei Yuning squinted her eyes at him, “Why do I feel like you’re subtly trying to drive me away?”
Xiao Si: “Your brain’s not too bad, you understand my words. Since you get it, hurry back to Hong Kong. Even if you stay here, your sister won’t have time for you.”
Wei Yuning was known for being rebellious, “The more you want me to leave, the more I’ll stay. Anyway, I’ve decided to stay.”
Lan Yan raised her hand to rub her ears, “Alright, alright, stop arguing, she can choose where she wants to go.”
She directed this last part at Xiao Si.
Wei Yuning, hearing this, smugly raised her eyebrows at Xiao Si.
However, the next second, Lan Yan looked at her and said, “He is, after all, my fiancé, my future husband. If you truly see me as a sister, you should respect him. Be polite when you should.”
“…”
Wei Yuning pouted, and although not very willing, as long as it was something Lan Yan said, she would agree.
“Okay, alright, I get it, I’ll be more mindful in the future.”
Wei Ting felt gratified seeing how well they were getting along.
Then, Xiao Si and Wei Ting said their goodbyes and left with Lan Yan first.
Wei Yuning wanted to follow but was pulled back by Wei Junyao.
“Uncle, why are you pulling me?”
“Why, do you want to act as a third wheel?” Wei Junyao retorted.
Wei Yuning: “…”
The man directly ushered her into his car, “Let’s go, go home.”
“No, I won’t ride with you, I want to ride with Dad,” Wei Yuning said.
Wei Junyao: “Your parents have other matters to attend to.”
“…”
Once in the car, Wei Yuning shrunk herself to the door.
The man, with deep black eyes, stared at her, speaking in a deep voice, “When you hugged me just now, you weren’t scared, but now you are?”
Wei Yuning stubbornly said, “I’m not scared, I’m just used to sitting like this in the car.”
The man chuckled ambiguously, “Since you’re not afraid, sit up straight, I have something to tell you.”
Wei Yuning turned her head to glance at him, “Just say it like this, I have good hearing, I can hear you.”
“…”
Then, she saw the partition falling again.
She frowned, “Why lower the partition again?”
However, the next second, her arm was grabbed.
Following that, she was pulled over…
“Ah…”
