Hana could not stop crying. "Miss Mann. Let me go. If Zayn were to come later on, then I wouldn't be able to leave anymore."
Ruth hugged Hana very strongly. "Hana! What exactly happened? Tell me! I can't help you much with other things, but I can still help to stand up for you!"
Ruth had always been a shrew. In addition, she saw with her own eyes that Hana had almost died when she was giving birth. Therefore, Ruth felt very sorry for Hana.
Hana kept shaking her head. "Miss Mann, don't ask about it..."
"Is it because of Zayn's parents?" Ruth saw Zayn's parents when she was parking her car earlier on. She did not greet them as they were not familiar with each other. However, she could tell at a glance that they were Zayn's parents. Hana did not answer her. She just cried.
"Those sons of batches!" Ruth cursed the second she opened her mouth.
The middle-aged lady, who was with Ruth and was behind her, frowned and asked, "Ruth, who is this? What happened? What made you so angry?"
Ruth immediately smiled awkwardly. She had already forgotten that she had brought her future mother-inlaw for a checkup that day. It was so rare that her future mother-in-law had come to South City. She had come to South City along with Ryan and Alex this time. She said she wanted to have some fun in South City, but in fact, it was because Ruth and Ryan were getting married soon, so as the mother-in-law, she was here to check out her daughter-in-law.
Ryan's mother's last name was Zaal, and her name was Patricia Zaal. The Zaal family was not considered a wealthy and powerful family in Kidon City, but Patricia and Alex's elder brother's romantic relationship developed naturally without external controls. Both of them had once studied abroad together and were considered highly educated, very cultured, and well-mannered. Patricia knew that Ryan had a very ordinary girlfriend. His girlfriend was not cultured and well-mannered, and she had never even had a serious job. It was only recently that she had been drafting design drawings at an architectural design firm, and that was because her good friend, Sabrina, had pulled some strings for her.
When Patricia was in Kidon City, she often asked Alex, "Alex, what do you think of your nephew's partner?"
Alex would then brush her off in a self-mocking manner. "Patricia, look at me. Do I look like a person who can judge his nephew's partner? My own love life is a mess. Look at me. I had almost lost Jane. What rights does such an uncle like me have to meddle in m y nephew's love life? I can't meddle in that."
"You should roughly know whether your nephew's lover is good or not, right?"
"This I know! As long as she is one of Sabrina's friends, she can't be bad! Say, Patricia, at the very least, Ryan is a very picky person, and yet he still picked her. As long as she is someone selected by Ryan, she can't be bad! Do you know how hard working this girl is? She originally had no clue about architectural design at all. Now, she is able to work on her own! Say, Patricia, you should be happy!" Alex said.
What Alex said was the truth. He was rooting for Ruth. Although the young lady was slightly vulgar, loved to put her hands on her waist, loved to argue, and also loved to fight, she truly was a simple person. She had n o bad intentions at all. The most important thing was that Alex had a selfish intent. That young lady, Ruth, was very close to Jane. She protected Jane as if she was protecting her own sister. With Ruth protecting Jane, who would have been her aunt, Alex would be at ease anywhere Jane went. For this reason alone, Alex wanted Ruth to be his nephew's wife very much.
Therefore, he praised Ruth very hard in front of his sister-in-law, Patricia. 1
However, Alex had revealed one of her flaws. If had no clue about architecture, but was able to work on her own with her own efforts, and she had learned the ropes from Sabrina on the job, then did that mean that she never had a proper education?
