Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 855
Tania thought about how most people only married once in their lives. Serenity married her son, but she did not get anything. It
was not strange for her to feel wronged.
Tania said, “You can make up for the betrothal gift and wedding ceremony.”
Zachary knew that it was possible to make up for it, but indisputably, he had always. made her suffer.
He stood up. “I’ll go talk to Nana. Don’t blame her. Maybe this is a trial I have to overcome. A trial of love.”
It was because his life had been smooth sailing since birth and he had never suffered any setbacks.
Thus, God was giving him a trial now.
“Zack, I still have to remind you this–our identity has been exposed to the people in Serenity’s circle. Her relatives and sister’s
ex–husband’s family may try to pester you. You can’t give them benefits for Serenity’s sake. Those people are like vampires;
they’ll come back for more if you give them anything even for once.
“They’ll cling to you and suck you dry. It wouldn’t be bad to give them benefits if they treated Serenity well, but they’ve been
horrible to Serenity and her sister. I can’t stand them. They have no right to call themselves Serenity’s relatives. They’re even
worse than neighbors. I feel suffocated just thinking that you’ll give them benefits.”
Zachary’s face was sullen. “I act according to Serenity’s attitude. She’s not willing to reconcile with them, so there’s no way I’ll
give them benefits. In fact, the troubles they’re facing now are caused by me.
“As for her sister’s ex–husband and his family, he’s already the past, so they have nothing to do with each other anymore. Is
Hank going to run to me and say that he’s my brother–in–law?”
Tania said, “I’m glad you’re aware. If there’s one thing I like about Serenity, it’s that she knows how to discriminate between
people who are kind to her and those who aren’t.”
She was not some kind of saint.
Even if some netizens tried to morally blackmail her, she persisted against it.
Tania read online how Serenity bashed the netizens who tried to morally blackmail

her. If the netizens had also lost their parents when they were ten years old, with the insurance payout divided among their
grandparents and relatives who drove them out and took over their property, would the netizens be able to forgive their
grandparents? If they could not, then they had no right to criticize Serenity and Liberty for not giving money to their grandparents.
In reality, how many grandchildren took care of their grandparents? It was good enough if children took care of their own parents.
Some old people believed that they could not even count on their children, so how could they count on their grandchildren
instead?
It was only by wearing another’s shoes that one could understand the experience, but all they did was hide behind a screen and
act like keyboard warriors, and even got paid to morally blackmail Serenity.
Serenity hoped that one day, those keyboard warriors who liked to morally blackmail others would have a taste of their own
medicine.
Zachary’s expression softened slightly, and he said, “She grew up in a different environment, so her character developed
differently.”
Serenity was gentle yet strong. As long as she had moral standing, she would be able to stay firm. If she did not have reason on
her side, she would immediately bow her head and apologize.
“What a poor girl.”
Tania was a little heartbroken when she thought about the environment her daughter -in–law grew up in.
If the young couple could make up, as a mother–in–law, she could dote on her daughter–in–law more in the future.
Grandma May sat in front of the stone table at the pavilion. There were many flowers planted around the pavilion. Although the
weather was still cold, it was almost spring.
When spring came, the grass and trees would be revived, and Wildridge Manor would be filled with colors.
One could appreciate the blooming of hundreds of flowers while sitting under the pavilion.
Zachary stepped into the pavilion and sat opposite his grandmother, blocking her view of the flowers.

“Your grandfather used to do that too. He would always sit right in front of me when I was admiring the flowers. He was tall like a
small mountain even when sitting down, so he would end up blocking my view. I could only admire him instead of the flowers.”
Zachary took after his grandfather.
“Do you want me to talk to Seren? I’ll put in some good words for you.”
