On their way to their seats, Iris and Jin Liwei stopped to receive the congratulations from Wei Lan, Grandpa Lu and Lu Zihao.
Wei Lan was now openly crying, casting aside her image as a graceful and classy viscountess. But it still didn't detract from her beauty which she passed down to her one and only daughter, Long Xiulan. Her new friends didn't mind that she was freely expressing her emotions, unlike a composed viscountess. In fact, they thought more highly of her now that she was acting like a typical proud mother to her daughter. It made her more relatable.
Iris was touched by Wei Lan's emotional congratulations. The woman hugged her tightly. This was the first time that they had a real hug, not just the superficial ones they usually had before.
