Chapter 419: Chapter 419: I Want to Announce Two Things _1
“Well said! Yes, that’s how it should be. If she dares to bully you, you should strike back without hesitation! Grandpa likes you this way, you are not a bad person, but you also know how to protect yourself.”
Jian Yufei was taken aback, unexpectedly Grandpa did not intend for her to let Xu Man go, he was testing her attitude.
“Master, young master, Miss Jian, dinner is served.” Uncle Zhong came over with a smile and announced.
Ruan Anguo got up with Jian Yufei’s assistance and they made their way towards the dining table together.
“Where are sir and madam?” Ruan Anguo asked Uncle Zhong.
“They are upstairs and will be here soon.”
Jian Yufei and the others had just taken their seats when Master and Mistress Ruan arrived too.
As soon as she noticed them, Jian Yufei got up and greeted them with a slight smile, “Master Ruan, Mrs. Ruan, hello.”
They were her in-laws in the past; to her now, they were just a married elder couple with no relation to her.
If not for Jian Yufei’s pregnancy, how could Mrs. Ruan have possibly spared her?
“The second announcement I would like to make is, I’ve decided to call off my engagement with Yan Yue and remarry Jian Yufei.”
Mrs. Ruan’s smile froze on her face, “Tianling, this is not what you said before!”
Ruan Tianling looked at his mother, “Indeed, that was not what I said earlier, but I’ve changed my mind now. Mom, Yufei is carrying my child, I should be marrying her. I don’t want my child to be born out of wedlock.”
“Didn’t you say you would have her hand the child over to Yan Yue after birth? By putting the child under Yan Yue’s name, the child wouldn’t be illegitimate.”
“If Jian Yufei were to become my wife, wouldn’t that be even more legitimate?”
“But you are engaged to Yan Yue, everyone in the city knows about your relationship. If you call off the engagement now, how can you justify this to Yan Yue? How am I supposed to explain this to the Yan family?” Mrs. Ruan was furrowing her eyebrows deeper.
“Tianling, Yueyue is a good girl, you two genuinely love each other, you both would be happier together. I know you are doing this for the child’s sake but, it’s unfair to her. It’s also unfair to you and Yueyue.”
Ruan Tianling’s brows tightened, he glanced at Jian Yufei, noticing her calm demeanor, apparently unaffected by his mother’s words.
He heaved a sigh of relief, yet a sense of disappointment lingered in his heart.
