Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 978 - 997: Xi Xilan’s Composed Restraint

"You..." Gao Yuwen, feeling deeply humiliated, angrily slapped the table, her eyes filled with a fierce glare.

Xi Xinlan sat there, looking calm and composed. Beside her, An Yuya, seeing no trace of displeasure on her face, excitedly countered: "I’ve had quite a bit of good coffee abroad and brought some back home. If Miss Gao likes it, I can bring you a can next time. As for the coffee here, since Miss Gao likes it, my mom and I will give you both cups so you can have enough at once."

As An Yuya spoke, she pushed the coffee in front of herself and Xi Xinlan toward the soy sauce-faced Gao Yuwen.

The latter, extremely concerned about appearances, immediately lost all remaining grace. Pointing at An Yuya’s nose, she loudly shouted: "You cheap woman, who are you calling a country bumpkin? Is going abroad that impressive?"

Faced with such a Gao Yuwen, Xi Xinlan’s heart instantly felt at ease, with no more fear.

Turns out she was just an empty shell, all show and no substance, not something to be feared.

Then she leaned her weight back into the sofa, exuding an aura of nobility that immediately suppressed Gao Yuwen’s anger. Only then did she calmly speak: "Miss Gao, it’s not anyone’s fault to be narrow-minded. That’s just an issue of upbringing. After all, the superiority of such a family gives you a congenital advantage. My daughter went abroad to study at a very early age. This might be something Miss Gao can only dream of, but for me and my daughter, it’s just routine. So don’t be concerned about these differences in lifestyle and taste. If this kind of coffee is what you like, Miss Gao, feel free to have more. I’ll pay for it today."

Drink? There’s no way she could drink anymore; she was already full of anger.

Yet because of the other’s aura, Gao Yuwen’s tone lost its previous arrogance, showing a trace of fear. She decided not to beat around the bush anymore and held onto one point tightly.

"Auntie, let’s not beat around the bush. No matter how much we say, it won’t change the facts, and neither of us has time to waste. Let’s get it all out in the open!"

"Please go ahead." Having already anticipated what the other might say, Xi Xinlan began to rapidly think of a countermeasure.

At this time, the other party’s casual words continued to reach her ears: "I think Auntie understands the stakes involved. As for what I have to say, since walls have ears, I won’t speak plainly. I’ll go directly to my request."

"Alright, continue."

Such a calm demeanor was beyond Gao Yuwen’s expectations. She couldn’t quite grasp the other’s intentions. If things became difficult, she thought of the issues of interest and mustered up her courage to share all her thoughts.

"I hope Auntie will not stop me from dating your son in the future. I truly love Li Yan and don’t want to leave him. I admit my family background is not outstanding, but that’s something I can’t change. However, I can promise you, from now on, I will wholeheartedly support the An Family, whatever it takes, without complaint."
