Chapter 1463: Chapter 1480: The Older, the Wiser

She was wearing a light perfume, the kind that smells pleasantly subtle.

Xiaonuan suddenly felt unsure what to think.

She just couldn’t believe the woman in front of her was her mother.

The mother who heartlessly abandoned her back then... 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Mrs. Nangong stirred the coffee in her cup and smiled, "I hope my sudden invitation didn’t seem too abrupt."

Xiaonuan quickly replied, "How could that be? You’re the elder, anytime you want to meet me, it’s perfectly fine."

Mrs. Nangong smiled.

"I heard you lost your memory? So, you don’t remember the past?"

Xiaonuan nodded.

"Hmm, so do you not remember how you married Ling’er and your childhood?"

Xiaonuan nodded again, "Yes..."

Lan Jinqin seemed to have a hint of suspicion in her eyes, but she laughed to herself, "I only saw amnesia in movies before, so it’s quite incredible to see it happen in real life."

"Me too..." Xiaonuan almost blurted out, and after seeing Lan Jinqin looking a bit surprised, she quickly added, "I never thought it would really happen to me before..."

Lan Jinqin nodded.

"But you already surprised me last night; I feel like you’re not the same daughter-in-law you used to be." She said this with a smile.

But the words were still a bit harsh to Xiaonuan’s ears.

The sharpness of the words was evident.

Xiaonuan secretly took a deep breath.

Sure enough...

"I’m sorry... I drank a bit more last night because of a company party, and I didn’t know you’d return..."

"Young girls these days like to hang out at night clubs, that’s understandable..."

"..."

"But, a Nangong family daughter-in-law has never returned home drunk like that after marrying into the Nangong family."

Xia Xiaonuan: "..."

Lan Jinqin lowered her head and gracefully took a sip of coffee.

Xiaonuan’s face was already burning hot, she felt stiff all over, and her complexion was somewhat pale.

She didn’t know how to respond to the woman in front of her.

Such an aggressive demeanor, so different from the kind and gentle mother-in-law she was last night.

"I heard that over the past year, you and Ling’er went through many things, and Ling’er even got hurt because of you? And you were kidnapped?"

Xiaonuan didn’t know where Mrs. Nangong gathered this information, but considering she was Mrs. Nangong, her status in the Nangong family was undoubtedly high.

So, finding out these things wasn’t difficult at all.

She awkwardly nodded, "Yes."

"Those bandits didn’t harm you, did they? I heard they were very bad people, if it was just for money, it’s fine, after all, our Nangong family has plenty of it, but if they tarnished our Nangong family’s reputation, that would be..."

Xia Xiaonuan felt her hands shaking while holding the coffee cup.

Mrs. Nangong sat opposite her, with years of social experience and sensitive nerves, she naturally noticed all of Xiaonuan’s reactions.

Originally, she thought Xia Xiaonuan was so capable, as Yuzhu described it as terrifying. Now it seems, she’s nothing much.

Compared to her, after all, ginger gets spicier with age.

If someone doesn’t meet her approval, they won’t stay in the Nangong family no matter what!
