This Was Not Her Home

"Shaoqian, this is…" Yang Yun said as she looked at He Xiyan in confusion.

"This is your daughter-in-law, mom…" Chen Jiahang wrapped his arm around her shoulders as he introduced He Xiyan to his mother. "She's Chen Yan but I usually call her Yan Yan. I bought her to be my wife while I was at Mang Village." 

The corners of He Xiyan's lips turned upward and she smiled when she heard Jiahang's introduction.

"Hello, aunty," she said and stretched her hand out to greet Chen Jiahang's mother. However, she did not address her as 'mom' as Jiahang did because she knew that she was not legally her daughter-in-law.

"Oh…" Yang Yun exclaimed in surprise and her wrinkles could clearly be seen when she frowned. She reached out and gently clasped the hand of this woman whom her son said was her daughter-in-law.
