Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 523

Chapter 523: 142: Lin Fang and her Daughter’s Dream of Living in Luxury Shattered_4

Mingming was laughing just a second ago.

Even though Lin Fang didn’t want to go out of her way to please someone who was ignoring her, she still had to put on a smile and woo the Shangguan family’s matriarch. “Madam, my name is Lin Fang. Lin Guihua is my aunt,” she said.

Lin Fang was confident in her charm; she believed she could win over this old woman.

“Madam, I heard from my aunt that you’re in your sixties, going on seventies, but you don’t look a day over forty or fifty!” she praised.

Who doesn’t enjoy a good compliment?

If there’s one skill Lin Fang lacks not, it’s flattery. She knows exactly what everyone wants to hear.

It’s comparable to the old saying, “Speak the language of the listener.”

If the matriarch hadn’t met Lin Fang at the clothing market, she would probably have been quite fond of this eloquent potential daughter-in-law.

But now, all she felt was disdain!

The old lady frowned and said nothing.

The smile on Lin Fang’s face began to falter.

Sensing the mood growing tense, Shangguan Xi hurriedly intervened, “Grandma, you must be tired after just coming back from the Hospital, right? Please, take a seat.”

While speaking, she winked at Lin Fang.

“Madam,” Lin Fang hastily interjected, “There’s nothing seriously wrong with you, is there? When I heard you’d gone to the hospital, I was beside myself with worry.”

“So, did you die?” asked the old lady, looking at Lin Fang.

Lin Fang: “…”

The atmosphere immediately plunged into awkward silence.

Even Lin Fang, who was usually so suave and adept at handling social situations, found herself struggling to keep up.

Didn’t the old woman, Lin, say that Shangguan Furong was the most difficult person in the Shangguan family to get along with?

Why was this old woman also so difficult to deal with?

Shangguan Furong was unsure why her mother had suddenly changed her tune. She had seemed quite pleased with Lin Fang initially…

“Mom,” Shangguan Furong began, “Lin Fang is a very filial person, and she’s even brought you a gift.”

“That’s right.” Lin Fang confirmed, simultaneously unwrapping the present. “Madam, this is a garment Xiaoyue picked out for you. I’m not sure if it’ll fit.”

The old lady glanced at the garment.

True to her suspicions, it was the burgundy silk shirt.

Seeing that the old lady finally smiled, Lin Fang felt a wave of relief wash over her. She flattered, “Madam, you have excellent taste! This is indeed made of silk. You maintain your figure so well, I’m sure you’ll look great in this shirt!” _{freēwēbnovel.com}
