Chapter 1128: Chapter 1102: After Being Possessed 12
Father Yan and Mrs. Yan were discussing with Yan Anhua how to comfort Si Linna when the study door opened.
Yan Zhengnan peeked his head out: "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Uncle, I heard everything you said."
Shi Ye was startled and hurriedly went to pull Yan Zhengnan: "Xiao Nan, donât overthink, your dad and I..."
Yan Zhengnan entered the room in his pajamas, probably just waking up to look for something, his hair was messy, and his face had red marks from the pillow: "You donât need to explain to me, I understand whatâs going on."
Mrs. Yan, who doted on Yan Zhengnan the most, feared he might overthink: "Xiao Nan, this is an adult matter, it wonât affect you. Even if thereâs something with your dad and mom, we will treat you as before, and your dad and uncle will still love you very much."
Yan Zhengnan nodded: "I know, I support my dad and uncle being together. My dad and uncle truly love each other. My mom married just out of necessity, I understand. Actually, this whole thing doesnât impact my mom much. Marrying my dad means she gained more family, and she has a sensible child like me. She doesnât need to work hard to earn a living every day. Itâs like sheâs got everything others want without giving up anything."
Mrs. Yan smiled, tousling Yan Zhengnanâs hair lightly: "Good child, you speak so well. If only your mom could think like you."
Yan Zhengnan held Mrs. Yanâs hand: "Grandma, tomorrow Iâll go with you to talk to my mom, make her see things for my sake and stop making a fuss with my dad. If this gets out, it wonât look good for my dad or me. How will I face people in the future? If she truly loves me, she should be better about it."
"Alright."
Mrs. Yanâs smile became even more genuine.
Yan Anhua and Shi Ye also started to smile.
The whole family was on their side, even if Si Linna caused a fuss, it wouldnât matter much.
Besides, they still had Yan Zhengnan; even if Si Linna ignored others, she couldnât possibly hurt Yan Zhengnan.
Anning waited until Si Linna was asleep before quietly getting out of bed.
She took out her phone to call Xiao Yuan.
"Are you asleep?"
She asked Xiao Yuan softly.
Xiao Yuan chuckled: "Not yet, Iâm working on a few brushed-up designs."
"Brushed-up designs?"
Anning was quite surprised: "What are you doing that for?"
Xiao Yuan simply laughed: "To make money, of course, I canât rely on you to support me. Some rich kids somehow heard about traditional brushed-up designs, and now theyâre all over Hai City looking for someone to do it. Theyâre either betting or whatever and are willing to pay a lot, so I took on the job."
"Howâs the work schedule? Can you handle it? If you canât, I can lend you a hand."
Anning asked with a smile.
"Almost done." Xiao Yuan was energetic despite working late; in his past life as an emperor, he often stayed up late, becoming quite the night owl, and his habits have carried over: "Tomorrow is Saturday, no classes, Iâll finish it in a day and then buy some good food for you with the money."
"Okay."
Anning laughed: "But remember to get some rest, and also, my sister-in-law might be staying with me for a few days, so donât come over at night."
"Whatâs up with your sister-in-law?"
Xiao Yuan asked.
Anning gently recapped the family drama: "My sister-in-law is heartbroken, it took a long time for her to fall asleep after I comforted her. I estimate things wonât settle down for a few days, and perhaps the Yan Family might come over tomorrow. I need to stick by her and make sure sheâs not hurt again."
"Pay extra attention then."
Xiao Yuan advised Anning: "If Mrs. Yan comes over, try not to get into a conflict with her. After all, she is your bodyâs mother, and creating too much of a scene in front of others isnât good for you."
"I know what Iâm doing."
Anning smiled: "Right now, my sister-in-law and I are in a weaker position, and thereâs little we can do against them. Weâll wait, though, and one day when weâve reached the peak of life, weâll reclaim all the injustices weâve suffered, twice over."
"Alright."
Xiao Yuan nodded as he continued working: "Take care, call me if youâre free tomorrow. Itâs getting late, get some rest."
Anning agreed and hung up the phone.
The next morning, as soon as Anning got up, she heard a knock on the door. She opened it to find a bag of breakfast outside, along with a note from Xiao Yuan and a big smiley face.
Anning brought the breakfast inside, just as Si Linna woke up: "Did you go out to buy breakfast?"
Anning chuckled: "No, my boyfriend brought it over."
"Is it that handsome guy from your school?"
Si Linna asked, turning to the bathroom to freshen up.
Anning responded with a nod: "Yes, itâs him, weâve reconciled."
"Congratulations!"
Si Linna shouted from behind the bathroom door.
Anning set the breakfast, and after Si Linna finished freshening up, she saw two portions set on the table.
The breakfast was simple, with soy milk, buns, and two kinds of cold dishes.
She hadnât eaten much the night before and was starving, so she quickly sat down to eat.
Anning sat down to eat alongside her, and as they ate, she chatted with Si Linna: "Sister-in-law, letâs go out today, Iâve already planned it. First, weâll go to the amusement park, yes, but before that, Iâll make some snacks to bring along, and we can settle lunch inside. Then, weâll watch a movie and go shopping."
She then looked Si Linna over: "Sister-in-law, how about you change your hairstyle? They say a change can take away bad moods too; we could get your hair done today, then watch a movie, and save the amusement park for tomorrow."
Si Linna smiled, agreeing to everything Anning suggested.
They decided, and after finishing breakfast, Si Linna cleaned up the table and went to change clothes.
She and Anning have similar builds, so she could wear Anningâs clothes.
Anning chose a more mature outfit for Si Linna, and the two of them went to the salon.
Si Linna had always kept long hair, with good texture, always styled long and straight. She made a bold decision this time and cut it short, adding some styling.
After getting their hair done, Anning nudged Si Linna: "Sister-in-law, you should put on some makeup, dress beautifully. Itâll lift your mood seeing yourself looking good."
So, they bought a lot of makeup, and Anning did a particularly beautiful look for Si Linna.
After the makeover, Anning took her shopping for clothes, choosing several outfits to match her new hairstyle. Once she changed, Si Linna looked years younger.
Smiling, she asked Anning: "How do I look now? Nice, right?"
"Yes, yes."
Anning nodded profusely: "My sister-in-law is the most beautiful."
Si Linna adjusted her makeup in the mirror: "I think itâs pretty great too."
By then it was past noon, and just as Si Linna suggested eating lunch at the mall with Anning, her phone rang.
Anning leaned over to see that it was a call from Mrs. Yan.
