Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Zhao Ya'Er's nostrils flare and her eyes widen like a mad man in the direction Qian Li Li had walked. If she had not come here with her aunt, she would have caused a scene.

"Disgusting."

While the niece's anger risen, she did not notice the middle-aged woman standing next to her.

Madam Lu's expression was no different from her niece. However, her attention was not on Qian Li Li but the two women. How dare they speak such words about her daughter-in-law?!

That's right! Her daughter-in-law, Han Yue Ling!

Although she wanted Lu Tian to meet her good friend, Ji An Ling's daughter, Mami, she had decided to respect her son and accept the fact that he found a woman of his own liking.

However, to her surprise, the other day, her friend working at her restaurant Elegancy sent her a photo of her son with a woman. She recognized right away that the young woman was none other than Han Yue Ling.

From what she knows about the model, she can see that Yue Ling is indeed a good girl and is not someone after fame or wealth. If she was the type, she would have never kept such a low profile or retired from the modeling world when her career was already at its peak.

She even wanted to pat her son on the back for finding such a magnificent woman, however, she decided to keep quiet and watch behind the scenes.

Of course, she only came to the fashion show to support her daughter-in-law and get a chance to personally meet the young woman.

However, that is not the point. The point is, these two women are still speaking nonsense about her daughter-in-law!

Oblivious to Madam Lu and Zhao Ya'Er, the two women continue to whisper to one another.

"Should we tell the others about this?"

"Yes. Yes, we should. We cannot have someone of such low standard continue living in Imperial. What if she decides to steal someone else's husband?"

"How dare you two speak such nonsense!"

"…."

Both women suddenly jumped in fright. Not only them but also Zhao Ya'Er. Three sets of eyes looks at the woman who spoke.

Madam Lu, who is known for her kindness now has the expression of an evildoer. Her eyes glare at the two women like a snake about to lash it's fangs out and attack.

"M-Madam Lu…"

The woman in purple slouch her shoulders in a embarrassment. She did not expect Madam Lu to hear their conversation.

Madam Lu looks at both women with disgust written on her face.

"As long as I am here, I do not want to hear another foul word from your mouths or anyone else."

Whether her words hurt them or not, she did not care. They shouldn't have said things that shouldn't be said.

Standing next to her, Zhao Ya'Er stares at her aunt with a surprise look. Her right hand slowly raise, and she gives the woman a thumbs up with slightly open lips.

At the same time, the woman in black pout her lips like someone who has been wronged. Her eyes turn moist and she takes a step forward to explain.

"Madam Lu, we were not speaking nonsense but the truth. You see, Han Yue Ling has been lying to everyone. She is not a good person. Everyone knows how much General Ji loves his his deceased wife, yet she went and became his mistress."

"You!"

Zhao Ya'Er raised her voice in rage. She takes a step towards the woman but was pulled back by Madam Lu.

"Did you see it with your owns eyes?"

Madam Lu calmly spoke her question with slightly raise brows. However, one can see a hint of superiority in her eyes.

"I.. I…"

The woman in black was tongue tied. She had only heard those rumors from Qian Li Li and had not seen it. Thinking of something, she looks at Madam Lu.

"I did not see it, but how could she attend tonight's event with General Ji? Anyone who sees this will—"

"What about you?"

Before the woman could finish, Madam Lu cuts her off without a care. She takes two steps forward and stood one foot away from the woman. Chin raise and eyes staring down at the woman.

"You claim Han Yue Ling came here with General Ji but did you see them get out from the same car?"

She eyes the woman from head to toe then back to her face. A smile curl on her lips.

"If I'm not mistaken, you did not attend this event with your husband but some unknown man. I wonder what others will think when they hear this, especially your husband."

Both women shudder in fear. Neither did not expect Madam Lu to speak those words and not give them any face at all. With their background, they cannot refute or else not only them, but their entire family will have no face in Imperial. However, why is Madam Lu defending Han Yue Ling?

Unlike the two women, Zhao Ya'Er's eyes lit up widely and her left hand also raise to give her aunt two thumbs up. Her aunt is truly someone worth admiring. It was no wonder her uncle always gave way to her.

"Han Yue Ling is my Lu family's future daughter-in-law. If you speak ill of her again, you better be prepare to face the consequences of offending my Lu family."

Saying this, Madam Lu slid her arm around her niece's arm and turn in a different direction. However, before she turns away, she made sure to give another warning.

"If I hear any more nonsense about my daughter-in-law, I know who it came from."

Without giving the two women another glance, Madam Lu walks away with her still in a daze niece. It was as if she had not turn into a crouching tiger at all.

Zhao Ya'Er stares at her aunt and ponder in thoughts. After a long minute, her lip arc into a pleasant smile.

"Aunty Lu, do you by chance like Han Yue Ling?"

Hearing her only niece's question, Madam Lu sighs aloud and touch the girl's hand.

"I was only speaking for her because she is innocent. As a member of my family, you should also know how Grandfather Ji is. Do you really think such rumor exists and my Lu family has never heard about it?"

"…."

Zhao Ya'Er's eyes turned heavy. Only speaking? What happened to Han Yue Ling being your future daughter-in-law? Just a moment ago, you were daughter-in-law this, daughter-in-law that and now you're saying you were only speaking for her?

She narrows her eyes in suspicion before a evil smile curl on her lips.

"My dear aunty Lu, as your favorite and only niece in the whole world, can you help me with something?"

Madam Lu does not answer but pout her lip. However, her expression was enough to tell Zhao Ya'Er to continue her words.

"It's like this. Han Yue Ling is my best friend and I know she has a good heart. So, as the wonderful cousin I am, I want to set a blind date for brother Tian. What do you say?"

Of course, Zhao Ya'Er has no idea that her aunt already knows about Lu Tian and Yue Ling. However, neither women knew the fact that the two people they want to help get together are already engaged and expecting a child.

Madam Lu arch her brows in full of surprise. She did not expect such idea to come from her niece. However, thinking about the photo sent to her, she cannot determine the relationship between her son and the supermodel.

Did they meet for a friendly dinner or was it due to business?

She pout her lip in thinking, then she nods her head.

"Tell me your plan. If it's good, I will do whatever I can to help."
