Chapter 258 It's easy to learn bad habits, but difficult to learn good ones.
"My stepmother asked me to wait outside the door, which was a polite way of refusing us."
Lin Xueyao's clear eyes were brimming with tears, and her voice was filled with extreme grievance.
She believed that without Xu Wanrong's approval, her marriage to Ye Lan would not have been possible.
Ye Lan gently rubbed Lin Xueyao's head, as if petting a cat.
"Don't worry, the matter has been perfectly resolved."
Seeing Lin Hao engrossed in his mobile game and spicy snacks and cola, Ye Lan couldn't help but smile.
"But if she doesn't agree, Lin Hao won't approve of this marriage." Lin Xueyao was so anxious she was almost crying.
Marriage is a major life event, and she disliked arranged marriages by her parents.
She hopes to spend her whole life with the person she loves.
A marriage without love is destined to be one of regret.
Ye Lan confidently replied, "Just because the wicked stepmother disagrees doesn't mean Lin Hao disagrees."
Children are not puppets of their parents. Do you think children will obediently listen to whatever their parents say?
This is obviously impossible.
Everyone has gone through childhood, and the beatings and scoldings they received may be hard to remember now, but there were definitely many.
Why do parents hit and scold their children?
It's just because they didn't listen!
If your parents point east and you go west, or if they serve you food and you turn the table, it's normal to get scolded or even beaten.
Where in the world are there so many obedient children?
Ye Lan thought back to his childhood, when he always disobeyed his parents. In the end, his father pulled out the Seven Wolves sword from his waist and gave him a complete childhood.
"Let's go, you have to learn to trust me." Ye Lan stretched out her palm in front of Lin Xueyao.
"I have always trusted you."
Lin Xueyao placed her small hand in Ye Lan's palm, and the two walked hand in hand toward the door.
"Big brother, sister, are you leaving?" Lin Hao ran over, holding the iced cola.
"Mm." Ye Lan nodded.
"Will you come again? Remember to bring me lots of spicy strips next time you come, they're delicious!" Lin Hao's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"That depends on whether your mother agrees or not."
While Lin Xueyao was getting into the car, Ye Lan turned around, tilted her head slightly, and fixed her gaze on a certain wealthy woman on the fifth floor.
People have a sixth sense. Xu Wanrong noticed that someone was watching her, so she looked down to look, and finally the two made eye contact.
Ye Lan smiled and waved, then turned and got into Butler Lin's car.
Xu Wanrong's lips curled up slightly, letting out a cold laugh. "You want to leave before even seeing your mother-in-law? If I let you step into the Lin family, I'll change my surname from Xu!"
If Ye Lan obediently waits in the living room downstairs, she will find this matter difficult to handle.
After all, she wouldn't be able to tell the truth when Lin Dongsheng came back and asked about it.
If Ye Lan leaves on her own initiative, things will be much easier.
She immediately stood up, smiled with narrowed eyes, and said to the ladies, "Let's call it a day. I still have to entertain my son-in-law."
"I almost forgot about that. It's important to entertain our son-in-law, so we won't disturb you any longer."
"But it's only one o'clock in the afternoon, and Lao Song isn't home. I don't want to go back."
"Let's go shopping. I know a newly opened nail salon. They do amazing nail art. I guarantee you'll love it."
"Great! I've been wanting to get a new manicure for ages. Let's go together."
The ladies picked up their bags from the chairs, said goodbye to Xu Wanrong one by one, and left the Lin family mansion.
After all the ladies had left, Xu Wanrong went to her dressing room. First, she applied a brightening lipstick, then put on silver hoop earrings, and finally draped a white fur coat over her shoulders. She looked exactly like a warlord's wife in a TV series.
After doing all this, Xu Wanrong took the limited edition bag and started to go downstairs.
"Xueyao, did you bring your boyfriend back? I'm sorry, something came up and I kept you waiting."
As Xu Wanrong spoke, she went downstairs, as if she were a very busy person with a lot of things to do.
But when she got downstairs, she saw that the living room was empty, and Xu Wanrong asked the question knowing the answer already.
"Hao'er, did your sister bring a boy back just now?"
The moment Lin Hao heard his mother's voice, he had the nanny clean up his phone, cola, and spicy snacks, and then he started playing with a Rubik's Cube.
Upon hearing the sound, Lin Hao looked up.
"An older brother came by just now, but he's gone now."
“What’s wrong with young people these days? He left without even seeing his mother-in-law. He has no patience at all. Don’t follow his example.”
"Okay, Mom. Look, I'm playing with a Rubik's Cube. This really tests your patience."
As Lin Hao spoke, he held up the Rubik's Cube so that Xu Wanrong could take a closer look.
Xu Wanrong came to Lin Hao's side, gently patted his head, and said with a kind expression, "Play with this more, don't be like other kids who just hold a phone or tablet all day."
"The Rubik's Cube can improve intelligence. Only when you have a high IQ will Dad feel at ease handing the company over to you, and only then can we, mother and son, live a good life."
"Okay." When he heard his mother forbid him from using his phone, a hint of disappointment appeared in Lin Hao's eyes.
..........
Meanwhile, Butler Lin was driving to the hotel when curiosity compelled him to ask a question.
"Miss, what did the Second Madam say about your marriage to Young Master Ye?"
When Lin Xueyao's biological mother was still alive, Uncle Lin was already the Lin family's butler, so he habitually referred to Xu Wanrong as the Second Madam.
"I haven't even seen him, so I guess he doesn't agree," Ye Lan replied casually while playing on her phone.
"Ah, you've come out without even seeing anyone?" Uncle Lin was startled, causing the vehicle to lurch.
"Uncle Lin, look at your surprised expression, it's not a big deal." Ye Lan said nonchalantly.
“Young Master Ye, this is really no small matter. You may not be familiar with the intricacies of wealthy and noble families. You left without saying goodbye, which not only offended the Second Madam but also tarnished the reputation of the Lin family. She will definitely hold a grudge and add fuel to the fire in front of the Master.”
"At that time, your marriage with Miss will be over."
Having worked as a butler for so many years, Uncle Lin has a thorough understanding of many things within wealthy families.
"Don't worry, even without Madam Xu's support, we still have Lin Hao as our trump card." Ye Lan seemed full of confidence.
Uncle Lin immediately felt ashamed, thinking that confidence was a good thing, but Young Master Ye's skin was a bit too thick.
"How can you be so sure that Lin Hao will definitely stand on our side?"
"Don't worry, it's easy to go astray but hard to go back to good. I believe in him."
Ye Lan looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, a broad smile on her lips.
Because he had already led Lin Hao into a world he had never been to before, just like opening Pandora's box, all that was left was to let things play out for a while.
Ye Lan was the same way when she was a child. She didn't smoke, drink, or play video games; she only studied and was a model student and a pillar of the future society.
But because of a summer vacation during junior high school, I went back to my hometown and spent two months playing computer games with my cousin, and I changed completely.
Although his parents explicitly forbade him to follow his cousin's example, he simply couldn't control his urge to play.
Later, Ye Lan was listless in class, and at night she even climbed over the wall to skip school and go to an illegal internet cafe.
A generation of academic prodigy has fallen.
A legendary gaming master was born!
