Feeling uneasy, Jian Yufei asked her grandfather, “Why… why me?”
There were many others more outstanding than herself. She had heard from her mother about the many distinguished ladies and debutantes who had come to visit the Ruan Family for arranged meetings. It was already a stroke of luck that an ordinary girl like her was invited.
It was not just being selected as a potential wife; being chosen was simply… ridiculously good luck.
Could there be some hidden circumstances?
Her grandfather understood her doubts.
He chuckled and said, “Don’t worry about anything. Choosing you is because you are indeed a good girl. Other than your family background, everything about you is great. You are a child with a good temperament, and I like that about you.”
Jian Yufei blushed and chuckled, thinking that this old man was fascinating.
It was his grandson getting married, yet he decided everything on his own. Was there no need to seek his grandson’s opinion?
“But there are a lot of other girls with a good temperament…” she mustered the courage to voice her doubts again.
“Haha, you do have some wisdom to question this. If other girls knew that they could marry into our Ruan Family, they would likely be so thrilled they’d lose their senses. So how could they ask these questions? You are right, there are individuals with better temperaments than you but there’s one critical point.”
“What?” She blinked in curiosity.
The grandfather looked mysteriously at her and said, “Have you forgotten that, one month ago, you helped an elderly man at the school gate?”
Jian Yufei hesitated, and then she suddenly remembered.
One month ago, she saw an elderly man with a British-style white hat and a cane sitting fretfully by the flower bed on the roadside. She, being kind-hearted, couldn’t help approaching him to offer help.
The old man looked very pleased when she asked if he needed help.
He said that his wallet and phone had been stolen and he had no way to get back home. He asked if she could lend him some money to take a taxi.
She knew there were many frauds nowadays, but strangely, she believed him. So, she readily asked how much he needed.
The old man told her that he lived quite far away and needed a hundred yuan for the taxi fare.
She gave him a hundred yuan and even helped him into the taxi.
The hundred yuan was a week’s worth of her living expenses. She lived off steamed buns for a week after giving the money to the old man. Her dorm mates called her a fool and said she’d been scammed.
But she had willingly given it. She had willingly lived on steamed buns for a week…
Reminded of this, she looked more carefully at her grandfather, only to be stunned at the realization that he was the very same elderly man she had helped.
No wonder he seemed familiar. They had met.
“Do you remember now? Haha, I’ve witnessed your kindness first-hand. That’s why I chose you. Dear, would you like to be with Tianling and become the daughter-in-law of our Ruan Family?” His grandfather said very kindly, and Jian Yufei’s heart was suddenly moved.
Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to marry into such a family.
Anyway, her stepfather had already told her mother that he would find a man for her to marry after university graduation. The man her stepfather would find wouldn’t be anything special. She could be certain of that.
So, she might as well marry into the Ruan Family, and besides, the man was genuinely nice…
It was just that, she didn’t know if he would agree.
Jian Yufei stole a glance at him, only to meet his deep gaze.
