But how would Rong's mother view Lin Xinlan if she said she was going out with Qiao Yiyang?
Lin Xinlan pursed her lips, deliberating on how to respond to her without causing any displeasure.
As she was still thinking, Qiao Yiyang began to speak with a light smile, "Madam Rong, even before the unfortunate events involving Rong Shaoze, Xinlan had already decided to be with me. After all the turmoil in the Rong family, our relationship had to be put on hold. Now that matters at the Rong family have been resolved, I believe I have the right to ask my girlfriend out, don't I?"
Rong's mother opened her eyes wide in surprise, her first glance sharply directed at Lin Xinlan.
In her eyes, there was astonishment, disbelief, and questioning.
Lin Xinlan felt uneasy looking directly into her eyes, her gaze flickered, and she could only nod in agreement with Qiao Yiyang's words, "Madam, what he said is true… I have always wanted to leave Rong Shaoze…"
