Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 274: Disagreeing with her engagement to Ruan Tianling_1

Yan Yue bit her lip in grievance, but then managed to put on a proper smile. “Grandfather, I know you have a fondness for Jian Yufei. I will strive to be a good granddaughter-in-law in the future and make you fond of me,” she said.

“Grandfather, Jian Yufei and I are already divorced,” Ruan Tianling pointed out flatly. “Now, the woman I plan to get engaged to is Yue Yue.”

Yan Yue looked at him, deeply touched. Just having him speak up for her made all her grievances worthwhile.

“Dad…” Ruan Mingtao tried to say something to comfort him, but the old man waved him off, signaling him to stop talking.

The old man then turned his sharp gaze to Yan Yue. He carefully chose his words and said, “Yue Yue, it’s not that I don’t like you. It’s just that you are not suitable for our Ruan Family. I don’t approve of your engagement with Tianling, but if you are determined to proceed, I have no objections. However, I will not attend the ceremony. I’ve said all I needed to say, now the decision is yours.”

Having said this, the old man stood up, leaning on his cane for support and left the room.

Although he was old, he possessed the same commanding presence from his younger days. His decisive words had the same effect as dropping a bomb, leaving everyone present feeling uneasy and panicked.

“Tianling, what do we do? Grandfather disapproves of our engagement, what can we do?” Yan Yue, clearly shaken, clung to Ruan Tianling’s hand with tears welling up in her eyes.

The date was set, the ring was chosen, but Grandfather was opposing her engagement with Tianling, this was too much for her!

Ruan Tianling held her tightly in his arms, trying to console her, “Don’t worry, I’ll try to convince Grandfather. You have nothing to fear.”

“But why doesn’t Grandfather accept me? Is it because of my health? My health has improved, Tianling, you have to explain it to him. I am healthy now, there’s really nothing wrong with me.”

“Alright, I will do that. You don’t have to worry.” Ruan Tianling consoled her although he was still figuring out how to handle the situation.

Grandfather’s refusal to accept Yan Yue was quite firm. If he were to miss their engagement ceremony, he would indirectly tell the outside world that the Ruan Family did not recognize her as Tianling’s fiancée. Wouldn’t that leave their engagement party the laughing stock of the whole city?

Mrs. Ruan also became upset, “How can father be like this? What’s so good about Jian Yufei anyway? She lacked essential qualities and even insisted on divorcing Tianling. No matter what, I will never allow her back into our family again.”

“Can you just keep quiet? If you hadn’t acted impulsively without consulting him, would father have caused such a scene?” Ruan Mingtao retorted in exasperation.

“Yes, I was wrong to have planned their engagement without Father’s approval. But I did it for Tianling’s sake, for the Ruan family’s good. I accept that I was wrong, but I did it for the right reasons.” Mrs. Ruan started sobbing, her tears rolling down without restraint.

“Mom, Dad, don’t worry too much about it. I believe Grandfather was just a little heated at the moment when he said those things. Give him some time to cool off, he should come around to the idea of Yueyue and me.”

“Tianling, but what if Grandfather still doesn’t agree?” Yan Yue asked, looking up at him with an appealing expression.

There was a certain glint in Ruan Tianling’s eyes as he gave a slight smirk, “He will agree. Don’t worry.”

Yan Yue’s eyes half-closed, hiding her cold disappointment. What she needed was not empty reassurance, but a real commitment from him.

She needed him to promise that regardless of Grandfather’s approval, he will still marry her!
