Chapter 1101 - Efforts Comes From Sincerity.

Zhen Qinrou was sitting in her room with some maids by her side when she saw the door opening with Feng Yi Lan coming inside. Her lips curled up instantly as looking at the maids by her side, she sent them off for the moment.

"Aye, Yi Lan you are finally here. Come here, come here, I have been waiting for you for so long." Once the maids left, Zhen Qinrou said looking all cheerfully at her daughter before gesturing her to come and sit beside her.

But Feng Yi Lan just rolled her eyes at her pretension. Folding her arms over her front, she asked without holding any formality of filial politeness in her tone. "You made the maid sound so urgent, what is it? What did you call me for?"

"Yi Lan, what's wrong with your tone? I called you because I am your mother and I wanted to talk to you. It's fine that on regular days you remain busy. But since you are here today, can't I call you to have a nice talk?" She said and at her misconceptions like that, Feng Yi Lan couldn't prevent herself from giving a mocking chuckle.

Shaking her head, she looked away from her mother and her fake love and care.

"What are you laughing at now? Did I say anything wrong?" Zhen Qinrou asked.

And Feng Yi Lan turned to give her a curl of disdain on the corner of her lips. "I just laughed thinking how big of a misconception you are holding in your life. On regular days, I am not busy, it's just that I don't want to see unwanted people around me so I keep myself like that to those."

Zhen Qinrou's face turned ashen at her words, but before she could say anything to her, Feng Yi Lan didn't offer her the chance. Continuing her words, she simply added, "Anyway, I don't have time to solve someone's misconception at this time. Both you and I know that in between us there is nothing like a mother and daughter bond. Though you aren't as bad as someone's mother I know, you are also not something less than that. So just come straight to the point. For what you were asking me here?"

She said and Zhen Qinroun's face further crumbled at her talks like that. She didn't know when her relationship with her daughter had turned like this. But now that it has already turned, she also can't do anything to repair it.

"Don't call me a cruel mother as you know yourself how much I have tried to mend our bond. But every time I have tried, you have come all repulsive and against it." Zhen Qinrou started but before she could reach anywhere with her words, Feng Yi Lan interrupted her, getting all bored of her voice.

"Don't drag the topic anymore. Tell me your plans before I get bored of the air where you are breathing in and out." She said and in her hurry like that, Zhen Qinrou simply blurted out all the intentions she had in her plans for her.

"Next weekend, go to Emerald Grande. I have arranged for someone to meet you." Zhen Qinrou said and frowning at her plans, Feng Yi Lan asked again.

"What? Bring that back. I didn't get your words I guess."

"There is nothing to repeat. I already said what I have to and you don't have to pretend to not hear it. Just next weekend go and meet the person. And in the evening, I will talk to your father about your wedding." Zhen Qinrou said and Feng Yi Lan couldn't believe it.

Was she serious? Though she knew her mother could get the boldest in her plans, she still never thought that one day she would include her to achieve her plans. And still, she has the nerve to say that she isn't a cruel mother. Now she even doubts if she was her mother or not.

"Here, I have prepared the dress for you. Take it with you when you return later." Zhen Qinrou spoke before gesturing to her to look at the dress that was kept not too far away from them.

Feng Yi Lan looked at her with one glance before trailing to stare at the dress to say. "Keep it safe with yourself. You might need it to make someone else your puppet as I won't be becoming one for you." She said and then turned to leave, without saying any more.

"Yi Lan, what's that attitude of yours. I am your mother." From behind Zhen Qinrou yelled and her yell like that halted the woman in her steps.

Turning to look back, Feng Yi Lan said all sharp and clear, "Exactly, you are the mother who gave birth to me. That great deed of yours has made me your daughter, but just for I am your daughter, don't think that you can freaking control me because that's the right I haven't given to you and never will. I am not going to meet anyone as I have already met who I meant to meet in this life."

"Yi Lan, you can't be again with that Qi boy. I won't accept him in any way. And I am already making this very clear to you today." Feeling all her nerves at the edge, Zhen Qinrou was almost feeling dizzy now. But her condition was something that she brought on herself, so Feng Yi Lan didn't care even a bit for her.

While she was edging with fury inside, Feng Yi Lan stood very much confident in her stance. Her lips were curled up as accepting the clear disapproval of the lady, she nodded, "Fine, it's like I never expected your approval to come in the first place. But since you have made one thing very clear to me today, I will return this favor to you today itself as well. Just wait for it."

She said with a smile that clearly looked like a challenge. Zhen Qinrou need not check the authenticity of that challenge. She knew her daughter enough to trust her daring tactics. "Yi Lan, what are you planning now? Don't try anything reckless. What I am planning is to your benefit. Believe me."

Feng Yi Lan shook her head in nothingness as her smile only grew deeper. "Believing you could be the last thing I can do in this life, so don't force me. And what do you think I don't know that earlier whatever stirred again Li Xue and brother was according to your plans? I might not have revealed it to father but that doesn't mean that I never will. The day I feel that you are crossing your limits, I won't think twice of the title of mother you hold. So, rectify the mistakes now that you have time."

She said and then turned to walk out of the room. But just when she was about to step out, she paused to say the last thing. "Another thing, it's not like our bond has always been irreparable, Mrs. Feng. It's just that your tries have never been sincere enough to mend it. So never say that you have tried. Efforts come from sincerity that you never had in your heart." She said and then walked off.

Behind, Zhen Qinrou was left all alone. But loneliness was not something that hit her hard, nor were it the sharp words that her daughter said to her. Instead, now she was worried about what was Yi Lan planning.. Since she has challenged her, there was definitely something coming.
