Zhuang Liaoyuan did not hide his true intentions at all.
While he was dissatisfied with Lisa, he could not do anything when Jennie was so in love with him. He was only a person who was slightly closer to Jennie, so it was not appropriate for him to interfere.
He could not stand it when he saw Jennie struggle so much in the Manoban family, but at the same time, he also wished for Jennie to understand and leave this guy on her own accord. He would then find her someone better!
He was only helping this guy this time because it was a serious matter and he could not just leave it after he knew the stakes involved.
Lisa, of course, knew what Zhuang Liaoyuan was thinking. He said slowly, "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I hope you'll come and support us during my wedding with Jennie, Chief Zhuang."
He said it as if his matrimony with Jennie was set in stone in the end.
Zhuang Liaoyuan was frustrated and he left with a darkened expression.
Jisoo started being cheeky after Zhuang Liaoyuan left. "Why would Chief Zhuang be so persistent? Your child with Jennie is already so old. He can't do anything at all! Dirt will come out together if he tried to forcefully take the carrot out! Uhh, the analogy seems odd, but that's just how it is..."
...
The following night, Mother Manoban was visiting the Guans as asked by Father Manoban.
"Diana... Diana! Your Aunty is here. Come out and stop hiding in your room! This girl has been in her room all day long recently. I wonder what she's doing..." Mother Guan was chatting to Mother Manoban as they walked towards Diana's room.
"Aunty!" Diana quickly stood up and closed the book she was reading when she heard her mother's voice.
However, Mother Manoban saw the title. It was a book about child psychology. She glanced around Diana's room and realized that there were a lot of books about child education.
She picked up one of them up. "Diana, these books are..."
She seemed a little embarrassed. "Aunty, it's nothing. Didn't I mention I was studying courses on this topic before? I'm just reading up a little..."
"A little? How many days have you stayed in your room already? I was just wondering what you were up to. It turns out that you're reading these books?" Mother Guan sounded angry.
Guilt spread across Diana's face. "Because of my inability, I caused such a big misunderstanding the last time. I'm really sorry..."
Mother Manoban was stunned and seemed a little shaken by the apology. "Silly child, it's been such a long time and you're still not over it. I've already told you that it's not your fault. You're still unclear about Leo's condition!"
She suddenly grabbed Diana's hands. "It's no use if you just read the books. You need more time with him together. As you both spend time together, you'll get to know him more, won't you?'
Diana and Mother Guan looked at each other, obviously understanding what she meant.
She sighed, "Our Manoban family only has one precious grandchild and in addition to the fact that he has no mother since he was born, we're more concerned about him and we hope that Diana can excuse us!"
"Please don't say that, Aunty. I quite like Leo myself! He's a really sweet child!" Diana said in a sincere tone.
She seemed satisfied. "It's really kind of you to still stay by Lisa's side... You know, a lot of things have been happening recently, but I'm sure Lisa will be able to resolve it. It's just a matter of time!"
