Chapter 48 - 47 Wei Yan Likes Her
The two of them stayed at Grandma’s house until the afternoon before they left. Jiang An, who had been curious for a long time, finally took the chance to ask Gao Chuan about Ji Wanwan while it was just the two of them.
It was the first time the girl inquired about the Gao Family with such keenness, throwing many questions at him. Gao Chuan, who was driving, gently turned the steering wheel, waves of emotion flickering in his eyes, and he succinctly introduced the situation between Ji Wanwan and Gao Yu to Jiang An.
Only then did Jiang An learn that Ji Wanwan, who had always proclaimed herself single to the public, had actually married Gao Yu three years ago, but they had kept it secret for the sake of her acting career. Moreover, at the time, the marriage was strongly opposed by Shen Mei and Gao Lin. Gao Yu had stubbornly gone against their wishes and married Ji Wanwan in secret. Shen Mei was so angry when she found out that she almost ended up in the hospital. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been tense ever since, putting Gao Yu in a difficult position between the two.
"So it is. A marriage that’s not blessed by the family must be very hard on the sister-in-law," Jiang An muttered with her eyelids lowered upon learning the whole story, completely unaware of the bitter experience behind Ji Wanwan’s glamorous facade.
Gao Chuan turned his head and saw the girl furrowing her brows with concern, her thin lips pressed into a line as he asked, "Did you meet yesterday?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Jiang An nodded, flashing back to the excitement she felt upon seeing Ji Wanwan. Her face flushed, Gao Chuan turned his head to see that the girl was lost in her own emotions, with not a single ripple visible on her face. Of course, he knew about the discord between Shen Mei and Ji Wanwan but figured Jiang An might not have many opportunities to interact with this so-called sister-in-law, so he chose not to elaborate.
The man gently turned the steering wheel, the car took a bend, and as Jiang An was engrossed in thought, she heard the man beside her ask, "Do you have plans this afternoon?"
The girl pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered she had arranged to meet her roommate Xia Zi that afternoon to discuss their thesis defense scheduled for December, replying, "I have an appointment to discuss something with a friend."
Gao Chuan, who continued to drive beside her, nodded subtly upon hearing this, not showing any sign of it, but for some reason, the face of Wei Yan suddenly came to mind. The issue of Wei Yan coming to see him was something he hadn’t mentioned to Jiang An, but the rare memory of it still gave him a headache.
