Chapter 1976: Jiang Xun’s Engagement (5)

"Bully? What exactly happened!"

Duan Sishu then repeated the prepared story to Duan Qianyang: "Oh, it’s just that Nianian has started seeing the young master of the Jiang Family, which should be a good thing, but at the beginning of the year, on Nianian’s birthday, they both drank a little. That young master of the Jiang Family is quite persuasive, coaxed Nianian... Although we say mutual affection is consensual, it’s the girl who loses out more. Even though the Jiang Family says they’re willing to take responsibility now, as a woman, I don’t know what to do. That’s why I wanted to ask you to step in, brother."

"Brother, Nianian is my only daughter, and she is your only niece. If she doesn’t have a good life in the future, I wouldn’t be able to die with my eyes closed, brother, can you really bear that?" As she spoke, Duan Sishu started crying again, her voice choked with emotion.

At this moment, Feng Nianian seemed to suddenly rush back from outside, grabbed the phone, and anxiously said to Duan Qianyang, "Uncle, don’t listen to my mom. I’m fine, I..." Then, amidst the chaotic sounds, the call was disconnected.

After the call was hung up, Duan Sishu immediately wiped the tears from her face and somewhat uncertainly looked at Feng Nianian by her side and asked, "Nianian, do you think your uncle will really agree?"

Although Duan Sishu did as she was told, she couldn’t figure out all the twists and turns behind Feng Nianian’s actions, so she was still worried.

Feng Nianian smiled at Duan Sishu: "As long as you do what I say, there won’t be any problems."

"At the earliest, Uncle will probably come to see you tomorrow. You don’t need to say anything else, just keep repeating those few sentences you just said, and that’ll be enough," Feng Nianian advised.

Now, Feng Nianian served as Duan Sishu’s pillar of support. Hearing this, Duan Sishu nodded earnestly: "Alright, Mom remembers. Nianian, don’t worry."

"Sure, I’m confident in you. After I marry into the Jiang Family, I’ll definitely bring you over to enjoy life together," Feng Nianian said obediently.

"You’re still the best, Nianian, always caring for your mom." Hearing this, Duan Sishu was extremely touched, especially after the hurt from Duan Qianyang over the years, which seemed to start healing, not realizing the disdain and anger in Feng Nianian’s lowered eyes.

The next day.

Early in the morning, the Ruan Family received great news: Ruan Jun was getting married during summer vacation, and the banquet would be held in Yuansu.

Unlike the prestigious families in Beidu, ordinary families don’t hold engagement banquets. They only check the compatibility of birth dates; if they match, they get engaged, exchange betrothal gifts, and have a meal together. Then they get married about half a year later.

Ruan Jun was only a year younger than Ruan Hao and had been working with Ruan Hao since graduation. Last year, he managed to handle things independently and was transferred by Ruan Hao to Yuansu, where he was in charge of several hotels.

Ruan Jiaojiao knew before the New Year that he was seeing someone, and she had even seen photos on the computer last time. Although the girl wasn’t outstandingly beautiful, she seemed gentle in appearance and personality. She didn’t expect him to get married so soon.

Ruan Jiaojiao was very happy, and what pleased her even more was that the whole family planned to visit Yuansu during summer vacation.

The older you get, the more you miss home. Even though the Ruan Family had established roots in Beidu over these years, Ruan Jiaojiao often longed for the days in Xiahe Village.
