These women secretly sized up Li An, who was carrying Xue Liping's bag, with a few of them asking boldly, "Liping, this young man is so handsome and noble. Who is he to you"

Xue Liping turned her head slightly, glancing at the imposing Li An beside her. She was contemplating how to introduce him when Li An preemptively spoke up from the side, "Hello ladies, my name is Li An, I am Yan Luoxi's fiancé."

"Ah!!!" Upon hearing that Li An was Yan Luoxi's fiancé, all the women felt a sudden realization. No wonder they heard about yesterday's incident where a young man had angered the domineering Madame Wang to no end; this man indeed possessed the qualifications and demeanor for such an act.

An middle-aged woman, looking at Li An’s outstanding appearance, was somewhat dissatisfied. She wondered why Xue Liping's daughter could have such an excellent fiancé while she hoped that Li An was a weak-willed young man who relied on others, only interested in Xue Liping's wealth and not Yan Luoxi herself. Thus, with a forced smile, she asked, "Liping, where does your future son-in-law work"

Xue Liping originally did not want to acknowledge her relationship with Li An in front of him, but seeing the challenging looks in these women's eyes, her competitiveness was aroused. She smiled somewhat indifferently and said, "Luoxi is pregnant, so Li An temporarily hasn't gone out to work to be able to accompany her more..."

The women from the wives' group were all wealthy ladies with strong family backgrounds; vanity and power struggles were their characteristics. Upon hearing that Li An was not working, a look of disdain appeared in their eyes.

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Xue Liping chuckled and shifted her tone, saying, "Actually, even if Li An doesn't work, the company is still being managed by someone else. With the vast business scope of the Dynasty Empire spanning all over the world, it wouldn’t be possible for him to manage everything personally or he would be exhausted. As the second son of the Li family, his responsibility is merely to attend board meetings and review profit reports!"

The Dynasty Empire was well-known throughout China and even Southeast Asia; everyone knew about its founder Li Haonan. These women knew that this exceptionally handsome young man surnamed Li but never expected him to be the second son of the Li family!

A few women's faces showed shock and envy, looking at Xue Liping and Li An in front of them, not knowing what to say.

Xue Liping looked at the expressions on each of the ladies' faces, feeling every pore of her body relax, and she couldn't describe how satisfied she felt inside.

She knew that her current appearance wasn't good, but since she divorced Sun Zhijun, she had been bullied for too long.

Xue Liping herself liked to show off; in this city's ladies' circle, she used to be the most prominent. However, after her divorce from Sun Zhijun, these wives who continued living with their husbands began to look down on her secretly and sometimes ridiculed her sarcastically.

She was competitive by nature, so she had been holding in this resentment all along. She never expected that today, through her daughter's success, she could finally regain some pride.

The few women were cliquey and opportunistic; after their initial shock, they began to say nice things to Xue Liping and Li An.

"Oh my, Liping! Your daughter Luo Xi truly has great taste in choosing such an excellent fiancé!"

"Yes indeed, Liping, you were already a lucky person originally. Now you're going to enjoy the blessings of your daughter and son-in-law!"

"Young Master Li, with this connection to Liping, from now on we are friends. Please look out for us in any future matters!"

...

In the face of such flattering words, Xue Liping felt herself floating. These haughty women had never looked at her like this before or treated her with such servility!

"No problem at all, we're friends after all. If any of you ever encounters difficulties in the future, just tell me." Xue Liping waved her hand grandly.

While Xue Liping was talking to these people, Li An stood behind her side as a dutiful son-in-law. Now that he heard Xue Liping making such promises on everyone's behalf, he quickly nodded his head in agreement, showing that he would follow his mother-in-law's instructions without question.

With the arrogant and domineering Schrōppingen Xue Liping and Li An, the few ladies said some more flattering words before smiling brightly as they bade them farewell.

Sitting back in the Jag again, Xue Liping felt thoroughly at ease. It was just so satisfying to be treated with such respect and none dared look down on her.

Xue Liping had originally wanted to facilitate Yan Luoxi's reconciliation with Li An, but now she was even more determined. If her daughter married Li An, she would stand tall at the top of the social ladder for the rest of her life, always admired by all and never have to endure the sorts of idle gossip that Xue Liping had.

Li An dropped off Xue Liping at the residential complex. As he watched her prepare to get out of the car, he smiled ingratiatingly: "Auntie, I know I've made many mistakes in the past and hurt people in various ways. Would you please talk to Luoxi when you go home and give me another chance"

"Li An, do you think that because I spoke so well of you to those ladies just now, it means that I accept you!" Xue Liping looked at Li An with a half-smile.

"No, I'm not daring to have such expectations yet," Li An was secretly annoyed by his mother-in-law's obstinacy but did not dare to provoke her.

Xue Liping sobered up and looked at Li An with utmost seriousness. "Tell your auntie the truth, are you really not coming here with any ulterior motives this time Are you really not going to hurt Luo Xi again"

"Auntie, do you think my heart is made of stone, without feelings, unable to feel cold or warmth, and incapable of pain After this incident, I truly realize my mistake.

If previously Luo Xi hadn't been with Shao Junhe, and Shao Junhe was my best friend, I would have come for Luo Xi long ago. Auntie, believe me, this time I will absolutely not do anything to hurt Luo Xi; I promise to protect her for life."

The devout and affectionate gaze from Li An made Xue Liping involuntarily convinced. She chuckled at him: "Actually, I could accept you, but getting past Luo Xi won't be easy!

You know the relationship between Luo Xi and me isn't particularly close; many times she doesn't listen to my words. If I say too much, she would think I have ulterior motives, suspecting that I'm on your side, which would backfire."

Li An was overjoyed when he heard Xue Liping willing to help him and thought he had been maneuvering around this shrewd woman for a long time only to find out she agreed so quickly.

He nodded repeatedly. "Auntie, whatever you think should be done in the future, I'll follow your lead; if you believe doing something is right, we will do it that way. As long as you don't take Luo Xi away and occasionally say a few good words for me to her from time to time, I'm not afraid of waiting. All I need is for her to finally forgive me."d by him, she would still be willing.However, Li An didn't give her a single glance. The only person who could occasionally catch his attention was Yan Luoxi.Whenever Mai Zhuo saw Li An speaking while...
