Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 269: – Grandfather, do you know him?_1

The old man didn’t show any emotion. Coldly, he said: “You’ve settled everything without consulting me, why bother asking me now?”

Mother Ruan’s smile froze for a moment, well aware that it was not right to decide first and report after.

Her son was her own flesh and blood. It was reasonable that his grandfather ignored Yan Yue, such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law. But, instead, insisted on Ruan Tianling marrying someone like Jian Yufei, and she opposed it naturally.

Even if risked disapproval from the old man, she needs to choose a satisfactory daughter-in-law for herself.

“Dad, noticing your recent health problems, I rather not add up to your worries with these matters,” Mother Ruan explained with a pleasant smile, her face revealing no hint of any disgruntlement.

Yan Yue knew that Ruan Anguo disapproved of her marriage to Ruan Tianling, but all she needed was for him not to fiercely oppose it.

“Grandfather,” she showed an elegant and refined smile. “Not only are Tianling and I about to get engaged, I learned today that Yufei is also getting engaged.”

Ruan Anguo’s eyelids twitched as he turned to look at her: “Yufei is getting engaged?”

“Yes, she is. The man she is engaged to is quite impressive, I’ve met him several times. Today they told us personally, they are getting engaged.”

When she finished speaking, she turned to look at Ruan Tianling, and smiled, “Tangling, am I right?”

“Hmm,” the man replied softly, without showing much of an expression.

“Who is this person she’s engaged to?” Ruan Anguo asked with concern.

“He’s a French Restaurant owner. His surname is Xiao, and his name is Xiao Lang.”

Ruan Anguo’s face subtly changed: “Xiao Lang?!”

“Yes, grandfather, do you know him?” Not only Yan Yue but everyone was puzzled by his surprised reaction.

The old man lowered his eyelids and simply said, “I don’t.”

“Dad, it seems that Yufei has chosen quite well. Now you can stop worrying about her. When she gets married, we’ll send a large gift too,” Mother Ruan said cheerfully. Deep down, she was hoping that this meant the old man wouldn’t expect Jian Yufei to return to the Ruan family.”

“I’m tired. You all keep eating, I’m going to rest.” Ruan Anguo stood up, entrusted himself to Uncle Zhong, and went back to his room to rest.

“Dad, you haven’t eaten yet?” Mother Ruan hurriedly got up to accompany him, but Ruan Anguo waved her off, indicating he wasn’t going to eat.

Mother Ruan returned to her seat, throwing a worried look at her husband, “What’s wrong with dad?”

“Let’s eat, maybe he’s really tired.” Ruan Mingtao said flatly.

He knew his father was upset.

Ruan Anguo was pleased with Jian Yufei being his daughter-in-law, but what Mingtao couldn’t understand was why his father was still hoping that she would return and continue to be the lady of the Ruan family even after she divorced Tianling.

In his eyes, Yan Yue was not so bad. As long as his son was happy, it didn’t matter who he married.

“You guys carry on eating, I’m going upstairs to take care of some things.” Ruan Tianling put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and slowly got up.

“Tianling, are you not eating anymore?” Yan Yue eagerly asked him. He smiled and patted her shoulder, “I’m not hungry, you continue eating, and I’ll take you home later.”

“Tianling, you ate too little today,” Mother Ruan said with a slight frown.

“Mom, I’m full. You guys continue eating. I have some urgent business to attend to.”

“Even at home you can’t have a peaceful meal. Don’t work too hard, make sure you rest plenty.”

“Mmm, I know.” After saying that, he turned around and left for the upstairs.

The dinner table, which was quite lively, suddenly became dull as the two most influential people left.
