Xu Qingli was frustrated, having given Lin Yan enough face to step down graciously, yet she continued to be so clueless.
Grandmother defended Lin Yan, chastising her daughter, "Don't be so vain. Chenyuan hasn't said a word, and here you are as his mother, overreaching. Just because someone is born into a wealthy family doesn't mean they have good character. He's marrying a person, not a family background." At her grandmother's words, Xu Qingli's lips twitched. Her mother really was muddleheaded, not understanding her at all.
She had already made a huge compromise, and still Lin Yan was being clueless.
Xu Qingli asked, "The child will be changing his surname. What is his full name?"
"Lin Ou."
Grandmother said, "The name sounds nice. Nowadays kids have names that are as complicated as possible. This name is... nice to hear... and it has depth."
Grandmother was clearly forcing praise; even Lin Yan herself knew the name Lin Ou was nothing special.
