\u201cOh, I just want to be like usual\u2014one simple suit, so much more convenient.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI always feel uncomfortable in dresses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can that be? It\u2019s not your first time wearing an evening gown. You look great in everything. This one is especially beautiful. Go change into it and let Mom have another look.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under her mother\u2019s insistence, Lan Ruoruo had no choice but to take the white evening gown her mother selected and go into the bathroom to change.<\/p>\n

After a while, she stepped out and asked, \u201cMom, how do I look? Is it okay?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou look stunning, absolutely beautiful. Come here and sit down. Let me give you a touch of light makeup so you\u2019ll be even more radiant\u2014tonight\u2019s most beautiful woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mother Lan was an elegant, dignified woman. In truth, she wasn\u2019t fond of her daughter\u2019s usual makeup\u2014too minimal, almost like wearing none at all.<\/p>\n

But now that her daughter was grown, she wouldn\u2019t interfere unless Ruoruo asked her to.<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo stared at her reflection in the mirror for a while. Once she was confident she looked truly stunning, she walked over and sat at the dressing table, allowing her mother to help with her makeup.<\/p>\n

\u201cRuoruo, have you decided to start dating Zhang Cheng? Why the sudden change of heart?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDidn\u2019t you two say there wasn\u2019t any chemistry after the blind date?\u201d<\/p>\n

Seeing her daughter so selective about her dress choice, Lan\u2019s mother assumed she was doing it for Zhang Cheng.<\/p>\n

After all, women often dress up to impress someone.<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo fell silent for a moment before saying, \u201cOf all the men I\u2019ve dated, I like Zhang Cheng a little more. Grandpa\u2019s been worrying about my marriage, so I figured I\u2019d give it a shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBig Brother insists I like Zhan Wei, but I don\u2019t. He\u2019s my sworn enemy\u2014I\u2019d rather beat him up than like him. How could I ever be interested in him?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll try things out with Zhang Cheng and make it clear to my brother that I don\u2019t like Zhan Wei.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lan\u2019s mother paused. \u201cYour brother thinks you like Zhan Wei? The one who always opposes you and steals our business? The CEO of Yangtai?\u201d
\n\u201cWho else but him? He\u2019ll be at the banquet tonight too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lan\u2019s mother seemed deep in thought.<\/p>\n

Does my daughter truly like Zhang Cheng\u2014or is it Zhan Wei?<\/p>\n

If she unknowingly has feelings for Zhan Wei and ends up getting involved with Zhang Cheng, that wouldn\u2019t end well.<\/p>\n

\u201cRuoruo, you need to be clear about your feelings. Do you like Zhang Cheng or Zhan Wei? Don\u2019t get involved with both. If people accuse you of two-timing, you might end up with neither,\u201d her mother gently warned.<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo shouted, \u201cMom, why are you just like my brother? Why do you think I\u2019d like Zhan Wei? That guy has such a sharp tongue! Every time he speaks, I feel like ripping his mouth off!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t you often anger him until his face turns blue?\u201d her mother replied with a knowing look.<\/p>\n

She was well aware of the feud between her daughter and Zhan Wei.<\/p>\n

She had seen Zhan Wei in person before.<\/p>\n

Honestly speaking, Zhan Wei was more handsome than Zhang Cheng, and their professional capabilities were on par.<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t know much about Zhan Wei\u2019s family background, only that he was from Wancheng, which was quite far from Yangcheng.<\/p>\n

But judging from his excellence, she assumed his upbringing must have been strong\u2014parents of average caliber don\u2019t usually raise such a remarkable son.<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo huffed, \u201cThat\u2019s only because he provoked me first.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many people in his field, but he just has to pick on the Lan family!\u201d<\/p>\n

Mother Lan smiled. \u201cRuoruo, if I remember correctly, didn\u2019t you provoke him first? You even said there were plenty of competitors in the industry, so why target Yangtai specifically?\u201d<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo: \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Whose side was her mom on, anyway?<\/p>\n
