Chapter 396 - You're Not A Good Prospective Daughter-in-law

Afraid that her mother would say something unpleasant, Rangga then said to his mother, "Mom, it's late, let me take you back home."

When Hilda heard Rangga's words just now, her face became sullen and her eyes filled with dislike but it wasn't directed towards her son. Lisa was not a fool and could see that all that hatred was on her.

"You really want to throw me out, Rangga!?" Hilda yelled back.

Rangga was boiling with anger, he put down his teacup and said expressionlessly, "Mom, if you—"

"No need, I came today to remind you. You have to consider what I said earlier, so that you won't regret it later!" Hilda advised Rangga in a sarcastic tone but her eyes were all on Lisa.

"I don't want to! I will never consider your advice! My decision is final," said Rangga stubbornly without the slightest hesitation.

Hilda angrily got up and walked towards the door. Lisa accidentally exchanged glances with Rangga. She was a little restless, the man gave her a wink to tell her to go back to the room. Lisa is confused between following Rangga or staying where she is now.

"Mom, let me drive you home. Please don't get angry like this, it's not good for you!" Rangga saud, pulling Hilda's arm.

"Get off my hand! I'm disappointed to have a child like you!" Hilda stepped out of the living room door with a furious face. If she doesn't come out soon, maybe she will break Rangga's flower vase and things around her.

But Lisa decided to follow Hilda, who had just come out of the living room door. She ignored Rangga's order, and the man was unable to stop her as she insisted on coming out after his angry mother.

Lisa wanted to explain to Hilda what really happened in her life. So far, the rumors said that she is an immoral bitch who was married, then widowed and had affairs with many men. This is definitely not true and she needs to set things straight.

"No! Let me come! I want to deliver Aunt Hilda home too," Lisa said insistently.

"Lis, come on already. Just return to your room and rest. Let me escort her," Rangga replied firmly. He didn't want to drag Lisa into his family's problem like this.

Without waiting for the man's answer, Lisa had ignored him and accelerated her steps to catch up with Hilda. "Auntie, wait! I will escort you home!"

Hilda tried to hold back her anger but it seemed that she wouldn't last long. As soon as she heard Lisa's disgusting voice, Hilda stopped her steps then turned towards her and looked at Lisa with a look full of hatred.

"Lisa, since you've come out and Rangga isn't here, I don't need to hide anything from you. To be honest, I don't agree with my son dating you," Hilda said as she opened the gate.

It turned out that facing Hilda wasn't as bad as she thought, so Lisa mustered up her courage and replied nonchalantly, "Auntie, I know you might hear some gossip about me outside, it's true that my last marriage was not perfect, even bad enough. I don't want to explain further for thar, and my decision to stay with Rangga remains the same and irrefutable."

Hilda became even more displeased by Lisa's words just now and suddenly stopped, staring at her with an angry face, "Are you saying that you've bewitched my son so that he will want to marry a woman with no dignity like you!??"

"Auntie, you misunderstood ..."

"Hmm, what's there to explain, huh? Rangga came from a dignified family. Don't think I don't know your intention and purpose to approach him. I know it's just for the sake of his money! A woman like you only wants to become his wife because of that, right? Bah! You gold digger!" Hilda was very angry, and when she saw Lisa, she remembered the gossip about her worried that her son had been tricked by her.

Lisa tries to remain calm and not to get angry. No matter what Hilda says to her, Lisa will not tarnish her good name in front of Hilda.

"Auntie, it's true that I'm divorced, but it's not my fault, it's just because I didn't meet the right person. You know how fate plays tricks on people. I haven't lost my conscience and never will. Don't just listen to gossip and decide that I am the type of person you think is not worthy of Rangga. I don't love him for money, don't worry. Even if we get married in the future, I will still work. I'm used to living independently. Auntie doesn't need to worry."

That means Lisa and Rangga are not together for money. Lisa has the confidence to be independent so she won't depend on other people to support her.

Of course, Hilda will not trust her easily. In her eyes, Lisa came only to leech off Rangga's wealth.

The middle-aged woman snorted lightly as she looked at Lisa with a very contemptuous look. "Lisa, your family and my family used to be neighbors for many years. I admit, I used to want to make you my daughter-in-law, but now it's different. Rangga has never had a girlfriend in his life. You are not a single woman again, you are a young widow and I don't want Rangga to marry someone like you!"

Hearing her words, Lisa was really surprised. But did Hilda just say that Rangga never had a girlfriend? 

Lisa was confused in an instant, her brain spinning hard. It seemed like Hilda didn't know anything about Rangga and Maria. Or is this middle-aged woman deliberately covering up the bad things about her son just to get rid of Lisa?

Just now, Lisa was about to say something about Maria, but after listening to Hilda's words, she suddenly swallowed her words. It seemed that Hilda didn't know anything about Rangga, and the man definitely didn't tell her either. But there must be a reason why he didn't tell it to his own biological mother.

Hilda thought she had gotten to the point, and spoke freely, "Lisa, I know your family's situation, I live side by side with your family watching you grow up and watching you, I don't think you will become like this. I beg you to leave Rangga, he is not suitable for you, so let him go." 

In short, she doesn't like Lisa.

Lisa was silent for a moment, closed her eyes and then swam back into her mind. Her heart was a little sad, but never faltered. Nonetheless, Hilda would still disagree with her relationship with Rangga.

Thinking about this, Lisa calmed her emotions and said, "Auntie, this is a problem between me and Rangga. Whether we end up together or not, this is between us both, and no one else has the right to interfere, including you."

Hearing Lisa's reply, the anger in Hilda's heart began to burn again. She stared at her with a gaze as sharp as a dagger.

"Lisa, I see that you are determined to be with Rangga, but let me remind you again. I do not consent that you are dating my son, not now and not forever!"

Hilda spewed out harsh words and turned around with a menacing gesture. Even though she was more than 50 years old, her body was still very strong. The middle aged woman continued her accelerated pace until Lisa couldn't see her anymore.

Lisa was stunned in place for a while, and walked back slowly. She felt like she had just been fooled, and it would be a lie if she wasn't emotional.

Whenever it comes to men, she is always faced with a cruel mother-in-law. First, when she was married to Oscar, Greta Petersson, the man's birth mother, hated her for reasons that didn't make sense. Now Rangga's biological mother also hates her because she is fed up with dubious gossip about her.

Lisa had just come back to the door when Rangga came out and met her. Seeing her frowning, Rangga took the initiative to take her hand and comforted her, "Lis, my mom didn't say anything that saddened you, right?"

"Do you need to ask me about that? She forbade me to go out with you," Lisa snorted in annoyance as she crossed her arms. Her face immediately frowned as if she was getting cheated on a game.

"Don't take it to heart, you know how my mom's like. She's upset about the gossip circulating around. Just trust me, let me take care of her. Nothing and nobody will be able to prevent our relationship, not even her," Rangga replied.
