Chapter 605 Stockholm Syndrome
As Meng Lang drove, he glanced at Yan Weiwei, who was sitting in the passenger seat with a dark expression.
"Well! Actually, it's understandable that the old man did this..."
Before she could even finish her sentence, Yan Weiwei, who had nowhere to vent her anger, retorted sharply.
"What do you mean by 'understand'? You have no idea what the situation is, and you have no idea how insidious and shameless that guy is!"
Meng Lang thought to himself, "Heh! I know way more than you do."
I even know your next plan...
However, he could never actually say that.
Given Yan Weiwei's personality, if she knew that he knew, she might have been so ashamed and furious that she killed him on the spot to silence him...
"How could he joke about something like this? Does he even know I've been crying these past two days... Anyway, I didn't beat him enough just now. He should have stayed in the hospital for a couple more days!"
Yan Weiwei was clearly still furious, gritting her teeth.
"Uh...actually, if you put yourself in his shoes, the old man has it tough too, supporting such a large family all by himself."
While the methods were indeed despicable, they were ultimately somewhat understandable.
"You're still defending him? He used such despicable means to gain sympathy, I almost..."
Instead of condemning the swindler, you keep praising him?
"Whose side are you on anyway?!"
Meng Lang twitched the corner of his mouth.
I can say that, rationally speaking, I'm on your side.
But emotionally, is it wrong for the child's maternal grandfather to want a grandchild?
"Well! I'm just standing from an outsider's perspective, saying a few fair words for the old man."
Yan Weiwei was already venting her anger, and upon hearing this, she glared fiercely at Meng Lang.
Fair talk? He's a conman who wants fairness, but I, who almost got scammed... don't?
Actually, this guy is partly to blame for this too!
If it weren't for his "one-time experience card for internal energy transformation," the old man wouldn't have resorted to this method to force her...
"It makes me so angry! Did you already know when you took my pulse? No wonder you sounded so sarcastic at the hospital yesterday!"
Yan Weiwei finally realized what was going on and stared at Meng Lang, questioning him.
"Uh……"
How did I end up getting myself into trouble while I was talking?
"Do you think I'm a human ultrasound machine? You can't detect brain tumors! At most, you can only have suspicions. You can only make bold assumptions and then carefully verify them!"
Yan Weiwei still didn't believe it. "Really? You're not just there to laugh at me?"
"What's so funny about this?"
"Hmph! Don't tell me you didn't realize that guy was thinking at the time..." Yan Weiwei's face flushed slightly.
Just thinking about Yan Feng's words, "I entrust this to you," when he pressed their hands together.
She was so embarrassed that she wanted to turn back right now and beat the person up again!
"What are you thinking about?" Meng Lang chuckled inwardly, deliberately teasing her.
Yan Weiwei could tell from Meng Lang's expression that he was pretending to be confused, so she gritted her teeth and went for it.
"You want to set us up! What? Aren't you secretly pleased with yourself?"
Uh... how am I supposed to answer that?
To say I'm not pleased would be too hypocritical.
He was both pleased and worried that Yan Weiwei might punch him.
He could only manage a dry cough, feigning modesty.
"Well! The old man's judgment is still commendable..."
Seeing that Yan Weiwei was about to explode, he quickly added a sentence.
"Of course! It's only natural, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. To put it bluntly, it's just being pressured to get married by elders!"
Look at me, I'm thousands of miles away. I have neither an ancestral martial arts school to inherit nor a school of martial arts to carry on.
Even so, my parents still sent an imperial envoy to urge me to get married.
Oh, by the way! Last time you came to my house, you saw my mom's attitude before. She wanted me to go on dates with every girl in the surrounding area.
Don't tell me you didn't notice, she was actually trying to set us up! Do you see how awkward I am?
Elders, it's instinctive! When they see a suitable candidate, they want to arrange important life events for the next generation!
We can refuse, but we should also understand!
What's that saying again? Love may be late, but the pressure to get married will never be absent!
After being thoroughly humiliated and attacked by Meng Lang's self-deprecating remarks, Yan Weiwei's expression finally softened considerably.
Actually, she's been thinking a lot these past two days, thinking about that broad, kind back, her own willfulness, and all the things that have happened in the past...
She really couldn't bring herself to hate Yan Feng...
But he still stubbornly insisted on his word.
"Hmph! What do you know? If that old man were just pressuring me to get married, that would be one thing, but he also..."
"What else? Do you mean you should have children?"
"you……"
"Just kidding, why are you so nervous?"
"Who...who's nervous!"
Meng Lang chuckled inwardly.
Yan Weiwei, feeling somewhat guilty, resorted to the tactic of changing the subject by saying, "No matter what, it's all your fault."
"It's all your fault. You suspected it yesterday but didn't just say so directly. Why did you have to wait until today to subtly remind me? I think you just wanted to see me make a fool of myself!"
Uh...you've hit the nail on the head!
I can't very well tell you that I was actually struggling with this decision back then.
Should we say no to this kind of "bad temptation"?
Or is it simply not enough...?
"Ahem! I was afraid that speaking directly would offend the old man, so I considered using a more tactful approach."
As you said before, what if he gets angry and drowns me in the Ba River to feed the fish…”
Yan Weiwei rolled her eyes.
"Now you're scared? Back in the mountaineering club, weren't you full of courage, daring to point your finger at him and curse him to his face?"
"He used to be so busy standing up for us."
"You...who's talking to you or us!"
Yan Weiwei snorted, turned her head to look out the window, but a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
Meng Lang knew that Yan Weiwei wouldn't understand his implied meaning.
He just sighed silently to himself.
The first time Yan Feng tricked me, I was indignant and even pointed my finger at him and cursed him as a scoundrel.
Having been scammed a second time, the victim herself actually started to defend the other party and plead not guilty...
In psychology, this is a classic case of Stockholm syndrome.
It's obvious that my mindset has undergone a subtle change without me even realizing it...
When did it start?
Hmm... it probably started after that mountaineering event, when I dragged Yan Weiwei by the hand and forced her onto the train home, that our fates became inextricably intertwined...
Those who boarded the train earlier are now finally getting around to buying tickets...
"girl!"
"What?" Yan Weiwei didn't hear clearly.
"I said, if it's a child, I'd prefer a girl..."
Yan Weiwei: (ω)
"Are you...you're insane! Who cares if you like boys or girls?!"
"Chi~"
The black, bulletproof Volkswagen SUV swerved in an S-shape on the road before finally getting back on track...
