A second chance with my billionaire husband

Walking over to hold Liang Wenrou’s hand, disapprovingly looking at Liang Wenwan.

Liang Wenwan frowned at the well-maintained woman in front of her; this was her mother, Lady Liang.

Since childhood, it was always like this; whenever she was involved with her sister, their mother would always side with her sister. Her mother constantly repeated, "You’re the elder sister, you should yield to your younger sister..." She had yielded everything she could, what more did they want her to yield?

This family only made her feel exhausted.

"Mom, I came back for dinner, not to argue with you," Liang Wenwan said lightly as she bypassed Lady Liang and headed upstairs.

Lady Liang grabbed her arm and said coldly, "What? Your wings have hardened, and now you dare to challenge me?"

Liang Wenwan shrugged off her hand. Lady Liang was generally good-tempered, but for some reason, her temper flared whenever she interacted with her, yet she was nearly always compliant with her sister’s wishes. Sometimes, she wondered if she was actually Liang Taisheng’s illegitimate daughter born elsewhere; otherwise, why would Lady Liang always regard her with a faint hostility?

This feeling became more pronounced as she grew up. She just didn’t want to consider... the worst possibility...

"Mom, I just want to have a nice meal tonight, alright?" Her gaze was almost pleading.

"Mommy, sister canceled her appointment to come see me. I’m already very happy, so don’t be angry with my sister," Liang Wenrou said, tugging delicately and tenderly at Lady Liang’s clothes.

Liang Wenwan nearly gagged; her sister had always used this trick since childhood. Did she still think she was a child? Yet, Lady Liang fell for it every time, patting Wenrou’s arm and smiling gently, "That’s my good Rourou, unlike your sister, who only makes me upset. If she were half as considerate and sensible as you, I’d be relieved."

Liang Wenwan rolled her eyes to the sky. Her refinement and manners were renowned in the socialite circle, right? Graduating from a prestigious university and working at the Liang Group with exceptional competence, who wouldn’t praise Liang Taisheng as a tiger father without a dog daughter?

In contrast, Liang Wenrou had poor grades since childhood, dropping out due to early romance, continuing elsewhere and still engaging in early romance. She barely made it to college graduation and then plunged into the entertainment industry, rushing further along the path of actors, exploiting the advantages of being a cherished child before her parents, enjoying all their favor, having everything she desired handed to her.

How thick-skinned must they be to say such things blatantly in front of her?

Liang Wenrou obediently lay in Lady Liang’s arms, sneaking a glance at Liang Wenwan with a hint of smugness and provocation in her eyes.

Liang Wenwan saw it and pretended not to, knowing her sister had a deep scheming mind, which she had realized early on. However, despite her deep scheming, she lacked the intelligence to match; frankly, she was a shallow White Lotus, capable only of wielding schemes in front of their parents. Given their blood relation, she couldn’t be bothered to argue with a cherished child.

Outside, however, she wouldn’t give face; if she didn’t tear a layer of skin off, she wouldn’t bear the Liang surname.

"Yes, Rourou is considerate; I’m not obedient, alright? I’ve been at the hospital all day today, and I’m very tired, so I don’t have the energy to argue with you. I’m going back to sleep." She said that and headed upstairs.

"Stop." Lady Liang called out to her.

Liang Wenwan turned around with a graceful smile, though her brow twitched lightly, standing on the brink of rage; don’t give her face and you’ll regret it later.

"Mom, do you need anything else?"

"Is Lady Ruan’s health improving?" Zhuang Fanxing’s illness was closely guarded by Ruan Songxi, but word eventually spread; people knew she was hospitalized, but no one knew the specifics of her condition.

Liang Wenwan tried to smile: "It’s improving."

"That’s good, as in-laws, I should visit. Since Rourou is here, I could take her to gain some insight; let’s go tomorrow morning, you can lead the way," Lady Liang said.

Liang Wenwan struggled to keep smiling: "Mom, Lady Ruan is not seeing visitors during her illness; I think it’s best you don’t face a deadlock."

Lady Liang glanced at her: "And you’re not considered an outsider?"

"I’m about to marry into the Ruan Family, so I’m naturally not considered an outsider."

Lady Liang was somewhat tongue-tied.

"If you’re not an outsider, then as Mommy’s daughter, Mommy isn’t considered an outsider either; unless you consider Mommy an outsider, they say a married daughter is like water poured out, but you haven’t married yet and you treat us like outsiders. That’s truly heartbreaking," Liang Wenrou said spitefully, but with that delicate and tender tone, Lady Liang fell for it.
