Listening to Lydia's explanation, Old Madam Chang laughed instead. "What are you so nervous about? Do you think I called you in here to find out about your relationship with Tyler Chang?"
Lydia had felt this before, but after hearing the Old Madam Chang asked this question, she became uncertain. She frowned and looked at Old Madam Chang in confusion, then gently nodded her head.
Old Madam laughed and said, "Before you became a member of the Chang Family, I have already investigated your background. If you had a relationship with Tyler, I won't let you carry a child for William and be a Young Lady of the Chang Family. Tyler Chang is a crocodile, so I'm not surprised he's curious or even attracted to you. You're very intelligent, I'm sure you're aware of the rules. You realize you need to keep your distance with Tyler Chang. I called you here because I heard you went home soaked in the rain. And then you even took the bus home? Have you forgotten that you're a pregnant mother?"
After listening to what Old Madam Chang said, Lydia felt slightly embarrassed by her actions before. Lydia was also not surprised that Old Madam Chang knew what happened this afternoon. It was true that the guards and maids of the Chang's Mansion didn't keep secrets from her. Here, even the walls got ears.
Lydia then nodded in response to the question. "This afternoon I forgot to bring an umbrella. And I seem to have lost my purse, which is why I don't even have money to buy gasoline. I don't have money for a taxi either..., I..."
Lydia wouldn't let Old Madam Chang know she had no money left. She thought it could hurt her pride, and she never wanted to ask the Chang Family for money again. She was already thankful because the Chang Family was prepared to pay all the debts of the Ahn Family. So she felt it would be better if Old Madam Chang knew she had no money because she lost her wallet.
"You can call and drive the private car of the Chang Family. As a Young Lady from this family, you should be accustomed to using the Chang Family's resources. Of course, the resources that are within the limits of your authority." Old Madam Chang said while laughing all the way, then she took a pile of money from the shelf and passed it through Lydia's hands.
Lydia saw all that money, immediately surprised and asked, "What are you doing? What is its purpose?"
The Old Madam Chang smiled and replied Lydia, "This is the monthly allowance that given to every member of the Chang Family. According to your seniority in the family, you'll get sixty million for a month. I gave you this monthly allowance first. Next month, you will receive your allowance through the Head Butler. He'll send it straight to you and William's bedroom."
"But, Old Madam Chang, I'm not..." Lydia wanted to said that she was still not legally married to William Chang.
Old Madam Chang immediately shook her head and cut her off. With a laughter, she told her, "No, you are his wife. From now on, you're William's legal wife. If one day you left the Chang Family and you no longer have a relationship with the Chang Family, you just turned that money down. But, I hope that this will not happen in the future. Anyway, it's just a small pocket money. This is an indication that you are already a member of the Chang Family. If you want to be respected as the Young Lady of the Chang Family, then you ought to accept it."
Lydia looked down and held that stack of money tightly. She was biting her lip and her eyes were full of tears. Now that she really needed money, not just the help of the Chang Family with the business, there were still living costs to support the Ahn Family. This family already provides her with everything she needed. A life of unbearable poverty gave Lydia the impression of being naked and running down the highway every day. She had no feeling of safety, the others just turned their heads towards her. They only watched Lydia so they could see how poor she was.
Lydia says in a whisper and trembling, "Old Madam... Oh, no, I mean Grandmother. This granddaughter-in-law has thanked you for everything."
The Old Madam Chang nodded her head and smiled, "Thank you too, this is for the sake of the Chang Family after all. Get back in your room and have some rest. In the future, you need to remember that as a pregnant mother, everything must be focused on the baby. Being able to give birth to the first heir of the Chang Family is also a favor to William."
"Good night then, Grandmother." Lydia nodded a couple of times before leaving the Old Madam Chang's room.
Leaving the room of Old Madam Chang, Lydia immediately saw Tyler Chang. He leaned over the edge of the stairway and smiled at her maliciously. Lydia nodded lightly and quickly passed Tyler Chang because she sensed something was wrong with his smile.
But before Lydia got past Tyler Chang, all of a sudden, he grabbed Lydia's wrist and pointed his fingers in her own eyes, "Sister-in-law, why are you in so much haste to leave? How can you take no notice of my eyes? Do you see me standing before you?"
Lydia tried to let go of Tyler Chang's grip and said coldly, "Watch out for your dignity. If you think of me as a sister-in-law, you should respect me. Don't carelessly tug me out like this, remember where you stand."
"Tug you, haha? It wasn't today that I kissed you, remember?" Tyler Chang not only didn't back off, but went one step further towards Lydia. He whispered softly in Lydia's ears, which only two of them could hear, "Actually, I prefer you to be fierce today than hang out with these guests and use a fake smile. Your ferocious ones are prettier and I get turned on."
Lydia narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I think the appearance of homelessness suits you better too. It's the same as you who don't understand the rules and who don't respect people. To wear clothes such as these is to waste too much luxury materials, brother-in-law."
Lydia glared at him with disdain after she had finished speaking. Then she left Tyler Chang.
Tyler Chang didn't reach out and prevent her from leaving again. He just tilted his head and said to Lydia's back with a smile, 'Wow, after all that, you're still talking with high and mighty tone, huh. You know what, I do all these things for you. Even if you really want to be the Young Lady of the Chang Family, but he's not even got you in his heart at all. How long will you be capable of holding Young Lady Chang's position? In her heart there is a woman called Ellie Jee, no woman can replace her place in my brother's heart."
Ellie Jee? The woman William Chang was fond of was called Ellie Jee?
Lydia's steps stopped slightly, but she didn't look back and kept walking ahead. She did not care at all what the kind of woman was in William Chang's heart, nor did she wish to hold a position in William Chang's heart. All she wanted was the help of the Chang Family so she could regain the glory of the Ahn family. She'd expect nothing more.
Tyler Chang continued to see Lydia's back as she left because she wasn't looking back. He smiled slowly and said in a low voice, "It looks like this time I'm going to stay home for a long time. How unexpected for such a pretty person to become that stiff man's bride. Too bad, He should have chosen me in the first place."
When Lydia went back into the bedroom, she saw right away that William Chang was already in there. She hesitated for a while before making a step forward and said gently, "Today, I didn't perform quite well. I apologize for the mistake.."
Lydia also knows that she did not look good today, that she could not pleased him at all. William Chang unbuttoned his black suits, turned a little towards Lydia and spoke coldly, "You know too that you are not good enough? I thought you were just a girl that leaned on faces but knew nothing."
