Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Elora had gone through so much after taking charge that she lost faith in the men around her. She no longer expected love.

Elora said, "I'll have a meal, take a nap, and head back to the company before three. The meeting starts at 3:30, and I want Tinsley to go home early tonight, so Auntie won't have to complain."

Mrs. Ormond curled her lips and replied, "She just loves to complain. As her sister-inlaw, I have to deal with it. I hardly see you, even though we live under the same roof. So who am I supposed to complain to?" Mrs. Ormond would get up early while Elora was already at the company. When Elora returned late at night, her mother was asleep. So they rarely saw each other. Who was Mrs. Ormond really complaining about?

When Mrs. Ormond married into the family, the men didn't accomplish much. So when their daughters became successful, the mothers had to support them even more.

Mrs. Ormond then said, "Oh, by the way, the head of the Labbe family in Havenmill sent us several invitations to attend their banquets. Tinsley told us not to bother, so we didn't go."

"But Mr. Labbe didn't give up. He sent another invitation yesterday, inviting us again."
