This was the first time that Jiang Ying Yue, Little Jun and Clover were meeting Wei Lan in person. Dom had already met her before during her short visits to see Iris at the penthouse.
Although Wei Lan didn't spend much time with Iris, at least she made it a point to see or call her daughter every few months or so. It was only when Iris went into coma for the second time that Wei Lan "disappeared" and stopped her sporadic visits. However, Wei Lan reconnected with Iris again later to update her on her latest escapades while travelling all around the world.
Perhaps it was a good thing that Iris and Wei Lan didn't see each other often during the latter part of last year. It was the time when the remnant inside Iris was the most volatile.
The mother and daughter had a love-hate relationship with each other because they were too alike in their "me first" philosophy in life. The original Iris held a strong resentment against her mother.
