Mrs. Qin said this from the bottom of her heart, not just for show.
When she saw Guan Yan looking up at her, she smiled and said, "I just suddenly walked over to look for you. The fact that you were willing to follow me shows that you are a polite child."
Otherwise, Guan Yan just doesn't need to pay any attention to her.
However, Madam Qin still looked at her with her elegant eyes that showed the years: "Qin Si may not have told you that the situation in our family is complicated. His marriage is not something he can decide on his own, and of course it is not something that I, as a mother, can decide on. His grandfather's consent is required."
"Ms. Guanyan, his grandfather is a traditional person and may not understand your career and life. So..."
Mrs. Qin spoke in a gentle and soft voice throughout the entire process, and there was no trace of condescension in either her attitude or tone.
But the meaning expressed in her words was already very clear.
Guan Yan put away the ridiculous question he was thinking about a moment ago, and did not lose his composure because of Mrs. Qin's attitude. Instead, he nodded and said very politely, "I understand."
Guan Yan was not angry at all, and even nodded slightly at her, politely and distantly: "Do you have anything else to say to me?"
Mrs. Qin was stunned. She probably didn't expect Guan Yan to react like this.
Guan Yan didn't care what she thought of him. He lowered his eyes to look at the gift in his hand and said, "If you have nothing else to do, I will go over and give you the gift first."
She didn't cry, make a fuss, argue or quarrel. What else could Mrs. Qin say? She could only make way for her to pass through: "Miss Guan Yan, please do as you please."
Guan Yan said, "Thank you."
Then he walked past her, not looking shocked at all, and looked as calm and confident as when he came in.
Mrs. Qin felt indescribable. She always felt like she was punching cotton, which was a bit dry and even made her earnest words seem ridiculous.
Her original intention was not to embarrass Guan Yan, and he was very communicative and cooperative with her. What else did Mrs. Qin have to say? She had to follow Guan Yan after he left.
She was also a guest at Bo Zheng's engagement party and brought gifts.
Just as Mrs. Qin walked to the entrance.
She got together with a few noble ladies with whom she was familiar.
Several people immediately asked her: "Who was that girl just now?"
Mrs. Qin still maintained her good manners in the face of such a knowing question: "A friend of my son."
The man covered his mouth and chuckled, "Could it be a girlfriend?"
Mrs. Qin did not comment.
Her attitude of neither denying nor admitting made the ladies feel embarrassed to continue speaking.
Everyone looked at Guan Yan, trying to see something from him.
The noble lady who first asked Guan Yan if she was Qin Si's girlfriend looked at Guan Yan's casual attire and couldn't help but mutter, "I heard that she doesn't usually stay in China. Which country is she studying in?"
"This... has nothing to do with you, right?" Mrs. Qin frowned subconsciously, with an unhappy look on her face, seeming a little unhappy.
The noble lady was a little surprised by her reaction. She was stunned for a moment, then immediately covered it up and replied awkwardly, "I'm just curious."
Mrs. Qin hummed and didn't give her much of a way out.
The man had a sneer on his face.
Others also observed Mrs. Qin's reaction curiously. They always felt that her reaction seemed to be protecting Guan Yan, which was really magical.
