Chapter 288: Chapter 288 – I will never allow her to be engaged to another man! _1
Ruan Tianling’s eyebrows twitch slightly, clearly not understanding what Grandpa is saying.
“She obviously didn’t die, but she kept lying to you saying she did. Do you ever think about why?”
“She is unsure whether she would survive. She was afraid that I...”
“Hmm, you even believe in such an excuse that’s meant to deceive kids!” Ruan Anguo stands up, saying lightly, “Decide how you want to proceed tomorrow. Tianling, don’t make a mistake every step of the way.”
“Grandpa, I’ve never understood you.”
The old man turns to look at Ruan Tianling, meeting his deep and probing gaze. He chuckles and says with satisfaction, “If you could understand me, then you must be my grandpa.”
After saying this, he leaves leaning on his cane, leaving Ruan Tianling with countless questions to grapple with.
Ruan Tianling stands up irritably and goes to the balcony to light a cigarette.
He doesn’t like to smoke, but he is accustomed to lighting a cigarette when he is frustrated, holding it between his fingers and letting it burn slowly.
Grandpa said that Yan Yue deceived him. He had suspicions as well.
Yufei is happy at this moment, no resentment lingers in her heart, only anticipation for the future.
She thinks that the child and happiness she had been longing for in her previous life would be compensated for in this life.
The happier she thinks about it, the bigger the smile on her lips and the stronger her anticipation for tomorrow’s engagement ceremony.
Just as she is ecstatic, her phone suddenly rings. It is a strange number. Confused, Yufei answers the call and hears a strange yet slightly aged voice.
“Miss Jiang, hello, I am Xiao Lang’s father.”
Yufei is stunned, she had no idea that the caller would be Xiao Lang’s father!
“Y...you hello.” Yufei stammers, feeling helpless.
“Miss Jiang, I am calling today because I don’t agree with your engagement to Xiao Lang. But he is determined to get engaged to you, even ignoring my admonishments...”
“Yufei, open the door, it’s Xiao Lang!” Soon after, there are knocks at the door, accompanied by Xiao Lang’s anxious voice.
Setting down the phone, Yufei calmly walks to open the door.
“Yufei, did my father call you?” Xiao Lang rushes in, gripping her hand nervously as he asks.
