Married at First Sight Chapter 4516

“Oh, I just want to be like usual—one simple suit, so much more convenient.”

“I always feel uncomfortable in dresses.”

“How can that be? It’s not your first time wearing an evening gown. You look great in everything. This one is especially beautiful. Go change into it and let Mom have another look.”

Under her mother’s insistence, Lan Ruoruo had no choice but to take the white evening gown her mother selected and go into the bathroom to change.

After a while, she stepped out and asked, “Mom, how do I look? Is it okay?”

“You look stunning, absolutely beautiful. Come here and sit down. Let me give you a touch of light makeup so you’ll be even more radiant—tonight’s most beautiful woman.”

Mother Lan was an elegant, dignified woman. In truth, she wasn’t fond of her daughter’s usual makeup—too minimal, almost like wearing none at all.

But now that her daughter was grown, she wouldn’t interfere unless Ruoruo asked her to.

Lan Ruoruo stared at her reflection in the mirror for a while. Once she was confident she looked truly stunning, she walked over and sat at the dressing table, allowing her mother to help with her makeup.

“Ruoruo, have you decided to start dating Zhang Cheng? Why the sudden change of heart?”

“Didn’t you two say there wasn’t any chemistry after the blind date?”

Seeing her daughter so selective about her dress choice, Lan’s mother assumed she was doing it for Zhang Cheng.

After all, women often dress up to impress someone.

Lan Ruoruo fell silent for a moment before saying, “Of all the men I’ve dated, I like Zhang Cheng a little more. Grandpa’s been worrying about my marriage, so I figured I’d give it a shot.”

“Big Brother insists I like Zhan Wei, but I don’t. He’s my sworn enemy—I’d rather beat him up than like him. How could I ever be interested in him?”

“I’ll try things out with Zhang Cheng and make it clear to my brother that I don’t like Zhan Wei.”

Lan’s mother paused. “Your brother thinks you like Zhan Wei? The one who always opposes you and steals our business? The CEO of Yangtai?”
“Who else but him? He’ll be at the banquet tonight too.”

Lan’s mother seemed deep in thought.

Does my daughter truly like Zhang Cheng—or is it Zhan Wei?

If she unknowingly has feelings for Zhan Wei and ends up getting involved with Zhang Cheng, that wouldn’t end well.

“Ruoruo, you need to be clear about your feelings. Do you like Zhang Cheng or Zhan Wei? Don’t get involved with both. If people accuse you of two-timing, you might end up with neither,” her mother gently warned.

Lan Ruoruo shouted, “Mom, why are you just like my brother? Why do you think I’d like Zhan Wei? That guy has such a sharp tongue! Every time he speaks, I feel like ripping his mouth off!”

“Don’t you often anger him until his face turns blue?” her mother replied with a knowing look.

She was well aware of the feud between her daughter and Zhan Wei.

She had seen Zhan Wei in person before.

Honestly speaking, Zhan Wei was more handsome than Zhang Cheng, and their professional capabilities were on par.

She didn’t know much about Zhan Wei’s family background, only that he was from Wancheng, which was quite far from Yangcheng.

But judging from his excellence, she assumed his upbringing must have been strong—parents of average caliber don’t usually raise such a remarkable son.

Lan Ruoruo huffed, “That’s only because he provoked me first.”

“There are so many people in his field, but he just has to pick on the Lan family!”

Mother Lan smiled. “Ruoruo, if I remember correctly, didn’t you provoke him first? You even said there were plenty of competitors in the industry, so why target Yangtai specifically?”

Lan Ruoruo: “…”

Whose side was her mom on, anyway?
