Chapter 318: Determined to Marry into the Ruan Family_1
Even if he wakes up tomorrow morning, in this alien land of H City, he won’t be able to find out where she has gone in time, providing her with ample opportunity to run far away.
But he had a meeting with a friend, and he would have to leave immediately after dinner. She didn’t dare to manipulate him, afraid that he might notice something was amiss.
So she could only execute her plan tomorrow. For today, she would have to repress her actions.
After dinner, Jian Yufei returned to her room for rest, while Ruan Tianling drove off to meet his friend.
Actually, she could use this opportunity to escape, but she didn’t dare to be careless. She wanted her scheme to succeed in one go, without any unforeseen hitches.
With nothing to do, Jian Yufei watched television in the hotel while waiting for Ruan Tianling’s return.
As Yan Yue walked through the front door, Mrs. Yan immediately pulled her aside to ask, “How did your talk with Tianling about marriage go today?”
“Mom, he’s on a business trip and isn’t in A City right now. However, I called him and he said he’s not in a hurry. We’ll decide around the middle of the year.”
Mrs. Yan’s face shadowed slightly, “You two are engaged, why wait until mid-year to decide? That’s half a year from now.”
Yan Yue twirled a lock of her hair around her finger and said emotionlessly, “Who knows what he’s thinking. Mom, I’ve found that ever since I returned, I’ve been gradually losing my understanding of him.”
“Yueyue, you can’t afford to be careless. During the years of your absence, Tianling’s romantic involvements have been numerous, his girlfriends far exceed the number of fingers on both hands.
He’s not a man who can be tied down. I don’t expect him to be faithful to you. Just marry into the Ruan Family and give birth to a legitimate grandchild as soon as you can, then no one will be able to shake your status.
I’d never allowed you to mix with him when he already had a family. But now that you’ve engaged with him, you must marry into the Ruan Family.
You’ve seen it too, your father is just a deputy mayor. Apart from that status, our family has no background to speak of. Your father only became deputy mayor thanks to the backing of the Ruan Family.
In a few years, your father will reach retirement age, and you’re not getting any younger. So you must strive for the greatest benefits for yourself now. The future of our Yan Family rests on your shoulders.”
Yan Yue’s eyes flashed with contemplation. She smiled and said, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll definitely be able to marry into the Ruan Family.”
Her words only served to increase Mrs. Yan’s worries.
“Don’t put too much faith in how deeply Tianling cares for you, Yueyue. Men can’t be relied upon. Even if Tianling plans to marry you, you haven’t yet passed the hurdle set by patriarch of the Ruan Family.
The patriarch’s opinion didn’t matter during the engagement, but that is just an engagement, it doesn’t mean anything. For you two to get married, you need his approval. What if he refuses…?
If he refuses, your reputation will be ruined.” Only then did Mrs. Yan consider this matter.
A woman who has been jilted, especially a lady from a prestigious family like theirs, losing face like that is too unbearable.
Moreover, it wouldn’t be easy to find another good family to marry into afterward.
Mrs. Yan’s brows furrowed tightly, starting to regret her previous decision.
She should’ve never rushed her daughter into getting engaged with Ruan Tianling.
The woman took the initiative to ask for the engagement and with such urgency at that. It really undermines her value. If she really does marry into his family later, could she then expect respect from the man’s side?
Those were secondary concerns. The most important issue was, what should she do if the patriarch of the Ruan Family doesn’t approve of their marriage?
Yan Yue believed her mother was being overly worried.
