Jian Yufei took a sip of tea and sneered inwardly, the difference in treatment was truly significant.
But who was she to complain when she was the daughter-in-law and Ruan Tianling was Ruan’s mother’s son?
“Mom, we’re young right now, so there’s no rush to have a child.” Ruan Tianling joked, prompting a helpless gaze from his mother, who shied away from the discussion for the time being.
However, Ruan Anguo wasn’t pleased. Speaking sternly, he said, “Tianling, you and Yufei should have a child soon. While I’m still breathing, you should hurry up and give me a great-grandchild, otherwise, I will not die peacefully!”
“Grandpa, don’t say such grave things. Plus, it’s your birthday today. You’re making me feel guilty for bringing up such a negative topic.” Ruan Tianling’s expression became noticeably more respectful as he suppressed his laughter. The mother, Ruan, became rigid in response to such a severe statement from her father-in-law.
Ruan’s father nodded in agreement, saying “Tianling, your grandfather is right. You and Yufei should have a child soon, so that your grandfather can enjoy the happiness of a harmonious family.”
“Exactly, otherwise you would be unfaithful!” Ruan Anguo agreed hastily, behaving like a relentless old naughty boy.
Jian Yufei laughed off his words, saying “Grandfather, the matter of having children depends on fate, it’s not something that can happen just because we want it to.”
She didn’t have a destiny with Ruan Tianling, so the old man would have to wait for a great-grandchild until Ruan Tianling marries someone else.
When speaking to her, Ruan Anguo had a much gentler expression on his face. He cheerfully suggested, “If you try your best, it will happen. You should give me a great-grandchild by next year. However, you shouldn’t feel too pressured, as long as you both don’t intend on not having a child.”
Jian Yufei sighed inwardly. Wasn’t this a matter of digging her own grave?
She regretted hinting earlier that Ruan Tianling did not want children, or else the old man wouldn’t have insisted on them having a child quickly.
Ruan Tianling did not want a child either, he kept silent.
Worried that his silence would annoy Ruan Anguo, Ruan’s mother quickly changed the topic, “Let’s go, it’s time for dinner, let’s celebrate father’s birthday. ”
During the meal, everyone presented their gifts to the old man for his birthday. Only Jian Yufei’s gift was the cheapest, but it was also the gift that the old man loved the most.
He instructed the butler to carefully keep the scarf and promised to wear it in winter to show it off to his old friends and let them know how caring his granddaughter-in-law is.
Seeing how pleased the old man was made Jian Yufei happy as well. She did not regret giving the gift after all.
After the meal, Ruan Anguo took Jian Yufei’s hand and asked her, “Yufei, come play chess with grandfather in the garden.”
The old man loved to play chess and Jian Yufei could as well, even though her skills were terrible.
Sitting in the gazebo of the back garden, Jian Yufei started setting up the chessboard. Playing the coquette, she insisted on going first and Ruan Anguo happily agreed, even allowing her to take back moves three times.
“Yufei, how are things between you and Tianling recently?” The old man diverted the topic, asking her while playing chess.
Jian Yufei laughed off his question, “Grandfather, we are very good.”
“I wouldn’t have believed you before, but now I truly believe your relationship is slowly improving.”
“Grandfather, why would you say that?” Jian Yufei asked the old man confusedly.
Their relationship hadn’t improved at all, she had no idea where the old man got the idea that their relationship was improving..
