The Ruan Family Mansion
Ruan Qishan was sitting on the coach reading a financial magazine when Wang Yazhi walked over with a cup of tea. She put the tea in front of Ruan Qishan and sat down herself. Then, she let out a big sigh.
“What’s with the big sigh?” Ruan Qishan took a sip of the tea, eyes still fixed on the magazine.
“Don’t you want a grandson?” Wang Yazhi cut to the chase.
The mentioning of a grandson finally got Ruan Qishan’s attention. He put down the magazine and said, “Of course I do, but this is not up to us, is it?”
Wang Yazhi pouted like a little girl, “Every time I see the grandson of your younger brother, I’m so envious! Your son is not keen on getting married, so frustrating!”
Ruan Zeyan laughed, “You say it as if Ruan Zeyan is not your son too.”
Wang Yazhi seemed unamused, “I think Guan Meiyi is a fine young woman, and I can tell that she really cares about Zeyan. That son of yours always gives her the cold shoulder though. Last time she was here to see him, he told her that he was busy! Meiyi was so humiliated that she had to leave in tears!”
Ruan Qishan didn’t really care about the boy and girl’s romance. The only thing he did care about was whether his future daughter-in-law had good enough genes to match the Ruan Family status.
Obviously, Guan Meiyi did meet his various standards.
“Mother too, always treats Meiyi with sarcasm. I don’t like it. If Meiyi marries into our family in the future, we should all be able to get along!”
Ruan Qishan nodded lightly. He took out his phone and dialed the office number of Ruan Zeyan. He forgot how long it had been since they talked because he had to reach his own son through secretaries or assistants.
That was not Ruan Zeyan’s fault. The Yuan Teng Corporation handled huge businesses. Back when Ruan Qishan was in charge, he was always too busy to answer phones as well. Now that his son had taken over the position, Ruan Qishan could understand why his son was busy.
Ruan Qishan was tired of the complaining of the two women at home. One was his wife, and one his mother. He had to sweet talk both sides.
Ruan Zeyan’s Executive Secretary Christine answered the phone. After inquiring about the whereabout of Ruan Zeyan, Ruan Qishan hung up the phone and smiled, “Did you say that your son doesn’t care for Guan Meiyi?”
“Why?” Asked Wang Yazhi with curiosity.
“On Meiyi’s first day of shooting the TV show, your son paid a visit to the studio.” Ruan Qishan put down his phone chuckling. He imagined that the day of his grandson’s arrival was on the horizon.
Her husband’s words made Wang Yazhi grin too. She was relieved knowing that his son was capable of caring for a girl. Maybe he just had a low EQ or was not particularly romantic.
“Soon let’s find an opportunity to invite the Guan Family over to talk about the engagement. If we can get this thing settled, I can stop worrying too.” The reason why Wang Yazhi was so eager about the engagement was because Ruan Zeyan had an extreme clean record in terms of dating in the past a few years. Although every now and then Guan Meiyi would stop by, her relationship with Ruan Zeyan was not what one would call intimate. So, Wang Yazhi was concerned about her son and not able to shake off worries.
The Old Mrs. Ruan made a face when she heard that her son and daughter-in-law were discussing the matter about her grandson and that actress. She said to herself, “You two morons!”
Without anyone noticing, the old lady took the car key and left the house.
