Jin Liwei’s words somehow managed to penetrate Iris’ dazed mind. She tightened her hold on his hand even further and pulled him along, as she walked to the aisle on the way to the stage. Her face automatically smiled softly, accepting her group’s congratulations, even though she was still feeling dazed.
As for Jin Liwei, he didn’t protest as she dragged him. He could sense that she was quite out of herself. She was basically just moving on instinct. He didn’t want to ruin the moment for her, by pulling his hand away from her hold. Besides, he loved the fact that her instinct made her hold him. It filled him with so much contentment.
At the front area of the audience, tears flowed down Wei Lan’s face. It was a good thing that she wore waterproof makeup. She felt so proud of her daughter. Never once had her daughter won any important and meaningful awards like this before. She heard that her daughter also won a lot of awards back in China during the Harmony Music Awards and the Diamond Guild Awards earlier this year. She even received a special award for inventing new musical techniques. Unfortunately, Wei Lan wasn’t able to witness those amazing moments of her daughter.
Now that she was present to witness her daughter win a prestigious award for the first time, Wei Lan felt very proud. She tossed the viscountess image that she had been maintaining all throughout the film festival. At the moment, she was just a mother. Wei Lan knew that she had many shortcomings as a mother to her daughter. She lacked the nurturing instinct that seemed to automatically develop in all mothers. In addition, she and her daughter clashed almost all the time in the past.
Despite this, Wei Lan never hated her daughter. She loved her. Long Xiulan was, after all, her one and only daughter. Even if the world turned upside down, Wei Lan and Long Xiulan would always remain flesh and blood mother and daughter. It was a good thing that both of them had changed for the better. Her daughter matured a lot and stopped looking for fights with her.
As for Wei Lan herself, she also believed that she had matured, especially after marrying her second husband, the Vizconde of Castillo de Estrellas. He helped widened her narrow perspective of the world and taught her about compassion. In turn, it made her a little less selfish. Wei Lan believed that this was one of the major reasons why she and her daughter had become closer since she returned to China.
Wei Lan was filled with so much pride for her daughter. She clapped her hands so hard and cheered with all she had. She wanted everyone to know that she, Wei Lan, was Iris Long’s mother. Her daughter was so talented in music that she could even win such a prestigious award abroad! Only her daughter could do that!
Beside her, Grandpa Lu and Lu Zihao also gave Iris a standing ovation.
"That’s my girl! My beloved student! My favourite granddaughter! As expected of Lu Jianhong’s protégé! Bahahaha!" Grandpa Lu cheered and bragged at the same time, even though his mentorship of Iris had nothing to do with music at all.
Iris and Jin Liwei finally reached the bottom of the stage. But before they could climb up the steps, Iris saw her two music mentors in her peripheral vision. She immediately stopped and then dragged Jin Liwei to their direction. free𝑤ebnovel.com
