21 The Yang Sisters (1/2)
”Ok-ok. I'll do it!” Lin Tianlong was unable to change this little girl's mind, so he had to promise her.
”Change what? What are you two siblings talking about?” Su Nianci asked while smiling.
”Mom, why were you so hard on Aunt Meizhen just now?” Liang Xiaolu seized the opportunity to quickly shift the subject and questioned her sharply. Yang Meizhen was usually quite gentle and treated her with a mother-like love. The little girl had a good opinion towards this aunt of hers and could only watch on as her mother scolded her aunt until her eyes glistened with tears. She couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.
”Lulu, there's a reason why your mother did that!” Liang Rukang looked at his wife and said with an extremely trusting smile.
”Indeed! I saw Aunt Meizhen leave while crying just now. I wondered what just happened.” Lin Tianlong looked at Su Nianci with curiosity in his eyes.
”Did you think I was hard on Meizhen without any reason for it, huh?”Su Nianci smiled at Lin Tianlong and Liang Xiaolu, ”Actually, what you see with your eyes might not necessarily be the truth. I had good intentions in doing what I did, but I fear you two wouldn't believe that!”
”Good intentions?” You made her cry like that, and you say it was for her good? Lin Tianlong and Liang Xiaolu looked at each other and then simultaneously looked at Su Nianci.
”You don't know some things, Tianlong. Your Godmother Shimin might not have told you about this too!” Su Nianci sighed, ”Actually, you only know that your Godmother Shimin and Aunt Meizhen are sisters, but you don't know that they are also blood-related step sisters. They had a good relationship with each other, but after their father passed away from illness last year, the sisters got into a quarrel over the distribution of assets. These two years, they've become so estranged that they don't even stay in contact.”
”Tianlong, you know that your Godmother Shimin has a foul mouth, but in truth, she's a real softie. Moreover, with her wealth, she simply doesn't care for the inheritance left behind by their father. She only wants face as the eldest sister. If Meizhen could take the initiative to say a few words, the contradiction between them would be resolved, and the matter would be left in the past. The sisters will also reconcile with each other.”
”But you also know that although your Aunt Meizhen is good with everything, she would be willing to even go through hell for the sake of keeping up appearances. She would never take the initiative to talk to her sister. This advert deal is the perfect opportunity. That's the reason I told her to look for your godmother and seal the deal else there was no need for her to come back. Tell me, isn't what I did for her own good?”
Saying so, she looked at Lin Tianlong and Liang Xiaolu with deep love.
Lin Tianlong finally understood the hidden intent behind Su Nianci's actions. It wasn't just barely good intentions, more importantly, it was more of an admonishment towards them, these siblings. Because they were also blood-related siblings. For a family, wealth and business were secondary, unity between siblings and good relations were of the utmost importance and things they ought to treasure the most. Su Nianci's earnest intentions had really struck Lin Tianlong's heartstrings.
”Aunt, I understand!” Lin Tianlong nodded then looked at Su Nianci's autumn lake-like deep eyes. He had to admit that this beautiful woman was cute and her kind heartedness was a great virtue. This kind of tenderness was the most natural charm point for a woman.
”Good child! Aunt knew you would understand my intentions!” Su Nianci knew he had comprehended her true intentions when she heard his response. She smiled in her heart towards this child's gifted intelligence and became glad that he had grown up sensibly. Only, faced with this big boy's heated gaze filled with admiration, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Did he cultivate out electro-eyes after electro hands or what? She replied in a rushed manner to cover up her the blush on her cheeks, ”Tianlong, since you're so concerned about your Aunt Meizhen, why don't you think of a method to make the sisters reconcile with each other. What say you?”
