This made it seem as though he was very close with the Jian family.
Wasn’t his intentions a bit too obvious?
Upon hearing this, Cai Qinyue frowned.
It was reasonable for the Jian family to live with the Wen family.
And thus, she was willing to accept them living in her house. However, if the Jian family associated with shady individuals, she would not be willing to tolerate that.
Grandpa Jian invited Master Zhai to sit down on the sofa in the living room.
Master Zhai was full of smiles. It was as though he was attempting to win over their favor: “Actually, I came here to talk about the engagement of our grandchildren.”
What?
Engagement?
Upon hearing this, everyone else in the room was shocked.
Then, Grandpa Jian said with great difficulty: “Didn’t we talk about this matter last time? This… This isn’t the best way to handle things.”
Was Master Zhai serious about this?
“No no. This time, the youngsters were the ones who mentioned this to me! It’s true!” Master Zhai emphasized.
He was afraid of being misunderstood by Grandpa Jian and Grandma Jian.
“What?” Grandma Jian exclaimed in shock. She forgot her manners as she said: “Wait, you mean my darling girl agreed to this?”
Master Zhai’s tone was resolute as he said: “Yeah, that brat of mine told me so. Although he’s usually quite unreliable, he would not lie about something like this.”
In this regard, Master Zhai knew his grandson quite well.
This person was here to settle an engagement with the Jian family?
And Jian Yiling herself agreed to it?
Upon hearing this, Cai Qinyue wanted to laugh.
What was that girl even thinking?
She hadn’t yet graduated from university. Instead of focusing on her studies, she’s getting engaged?
Furthermore, someone else had to tell the Jian family about this matter.
She wasn’t virtuous and proper at all!
Wen Cheng hurriedly said: “This won’t do. Yiling is still young. There is no hurry to get engaged.”
Master Zhai continued to smile: “No no. She’s not young anymore. She’s already eighteen. According to the traditional way of accounting for age, she’s twenty already! It’s a good age to get engaged. Then, when she turns twenty, they can officially marry.”
Huh? Was he thinking about obtaining a marriage certificate already?
Wasn’t Master Zhai being a bit too hasty about this?
Grandpa Jian and Grandma Jian turned to look at each other.
“I’m going to call my darling girl.”
Then, Grandma Jian walked away. She found a quiet place to call Jian Yiling.
She had to figure out what was happening!
As soon as the call went through, Grandma Jian asked Jian Yiling.
“Yiling, are you dating someone right now?”
Grandma Jian asked Jian Yiling tentatively.
“Err, it seems so,” Jian Yiling replied.
“It seems so?”
How could there be an “it seems so?”
“Well, I promised to get engaged to Zhai Yunsheng.”
Wait?! Was Master Zhai telling the truth?
Did Yiling actually agree to this?!
Grandma Jian felt as though someone had plucked a piece of flesh away from her heart.
“Darling, why did you say yes to him?”
“I don’t want to part with him. He treats me very well. I owe him a lot.”
Jian Yiling gave out three simple reasons.
This was the conclusion that Jian Yiling came to after her two days of careful consideration and analysis.
After listening to Jian Yiling’s words, Grandma Jian was silent for a long time. Then she said:
“Are you sure about this? Did you really think this through? Getting married is a lifetime thing. You can return someone else’s favors in other ways. That reason won’t support your marriage. You will need actual feelings to support a marriage.”
“Mhmm, I thought about it for two days,” Jian Yilign replied.
“Well, if you decided on it already, I will support your decision,” Grandma Jian said quietly. “However, you must promise me to not make things difficult for yourself.”
