At their first meeting, she fell in love at first sight. She stumbled upon a scene where someone was being jilted and watched with great interest, only to be warned.
At their second meeting, ...
After a few pleasantries, they got down to business. Lu Shiyan spoke to people in a very polite manner.
When asked about him, Ye Jingyun quietly raised her head and looked at him shyly. She wondered if he would regret it.
Looking at such an outstanding person, she couldn't help but be fascinated and inexplicably nervous. If he turned out to be her husband in the future, it would be the luckiest thing.
Lu Shiyan said in a measured manner, "Grandpa Ye, well, this marriage was discussed between Ye Jingning and me. Let's do it according to the statement. She likes someone else, and I have the ability to help her. I can't do bad things for her, so I will naturally help her and respect her opinion."
What you mean is that this marriage is called off, and it was your granddaughter who said so.
Old Master Ye was a shrewd man, so how could he not understand what was meant? He coughed and said, "I know this is my granddaughter's fault, but you see, our two families have a good relationship, and we shouldn't damage the relationship between them for such a small matter."
"Grandpa Ye, don't worry. Marriage is marriage, and relationship is relationship. Although our two families cannot become in-laws, our relationship remains unchanged and we can still visit each other frequently." Lu Shiyan did not give in.
He naturally knew what he was planning. Wasn't he just trying to continue the marriage? But how could he be that kind of person? Since he had broken off, he had broken off completely and there was absolutely no intention of turning back.
"Look, since you and Xiao Ning are not suitable, what do you think of my second granddaughter Yun'er?" After saying that, he looked at him with an inquiring look, trying to see what he was thinking from his eyes.
The people next to him were startled by his suggestion. They all raised their heads and looked at Lu Shiyan ambiguously.
To be honest, they found this proposal quite fresh. Although they were all granddaughters of the Ye family, the one they had been interacting with before was the eldest granddaughter. It was not a big deal that the second granddaughter suddenly took over.
They looked at their granddaughter standing beside them. She was quite pleasing, well-behaved and cute. She was also a good girl. If she was really a good match for Lu Shiyan, it would make sense.
This time, they finally understood why he brought his second granddaughter here. It turned out that this was his plan.
Old Master Lu also looked at his grandson. In the end, he had to listen to his grandson's wishes. Although he wanted his grandson to get married as soon as possible and marry into the Ye family, that would be the best thing. However, if his grandson really didn't want to, he couldn't force it. After all, their Lu family was already rich enough and didn't need to rely on an alliance to get even richer. So, if his grandson really didn't want to, he wouldn't force him or rush to slap him in the face. After all, their Lu family was in the right now.
Ye Jingyun also stared at him seriously, wanting to see how he would answer.
But the next moment, she felt lost.
"Grandpa Ye, I'm sorry, I don't have any intention of getting married for the time being, so I won't delay Jingyun. Let Jingyun choose one himself."
When she heard this answer, she lowered her head with visibly disappointed look. It was not that he did not want to get married, but that he simply did not like her.
Am I that bad?
How is she worse than her sister?
If he can accept his sister, why can't he accept himself?
Old Master Ye pondered and said, "Time is not a problem. We can let you two settle down first and cultivate your relationship. After three to five years, you can get married first and then slowly choose a date."
Mr. Ye took a step back. He thought it was okay to settle down first. As a man, career is the most important thing.
"Grandpa Ye, I'm sorry I can't agree to your request." Lu Shiyan refused bluntly.
The Ye family members looked ashamed and felt that they had been slapped in the face. Their proposals were rejected one after another. No matter who it was, they would look unhappy, not to mention that they were beaten by a young brat. Old Master Ye was immediately in a bad mood.
Ye Cheng has seen all kinds of storms in his life. He can get whatever he wants. But in the end, when he is old, he still has to depend on the young people.
Although his Ye family was not as powerful as the Lu family, they were not unknown in Beijing. He was unwilling to form an alliance, but there were many people who were eager to marry their Ye family's granddaughter.
He was willing to come to explain only because of their friendship over the years. If it were someone else, they would have just withdrawn and there would be no need to come to apologize.
Since you are so unwilling to appreciate it, there is nothing more to talk about.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly froze. Old Master Lu was no ordinary man, having seen many big occasions before, so he smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Well, it's rare for the two of us to get together today, so let's not say such things that would spoil the fun. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and young people should deal with their own affairs. The two of us should just enjoy our old age."
Old Master Ye was also a smart man. Seeing that someone was giving him a way out, he went along with it to avoid damaging the relationship between the two families.
"Yeah, you said that why an old man like me should meddle in other people's business? Young people have their own ideas, so let them solve it themselves. We are old-fashioned and can't keep up with the thinking of young people. We should just drink tea and play chess." Grandpa Ye said with a smile.
"That's right. By the way, I got a chess game some time ago that I couldn't solve. How about you review it with me and then we play a few games together?" suggested Mr. Lu.
"Is there any chess game that you, Old Lu, can't figure out? Let me see, I want to see what kind of sophisticated chess game it is." As the two of them talked, they went to the chess room, leaving them to continue chatting in the living room.
Ye Ming took the opportunity to chat with Mr. Lu about business and discuss business matters, without any feeling of being slapped in the face as he had just now.
Grandma and Lu's mother pulled Ye Jingyun aside to talk about some women's private matters.
Lu Shiyan had no choice but to follow his father with a smile and chat with him casually.
It's just a pity for Lu Shili, a high school student, who feels out of place in this atmosphere. If he had known it would be like this, he might as well not have come back so soon.
There were so many people in the room, and he couldn't say anything, nor could he leave. He felt really uncomfortable.
So, while his father was talking to someone, he pulled his brother aside and teased him, "Brother, why don't you want to marry her?"
Lu Shiyan stared at him, then said coldly, "If you like, I can reluctantly tell my uncle to arrange a marriage between you and Miss Ye Er. I think you two are quite a good match."
He lost more than he gained, and couldn't help but feel regretful. "Brother, I was wrong. I won't say anything more."
What a joke! If his brother really did this, he dared to believe that he would definitely see the news of the marriage between Miss Ye and Mr. Lu tomorrow, no, today.
Forget it, he is still a minor and doesn't want to get involved in such messy marriages with these adults.
After that, he behaved himself and sat aside obediently, never joking again.
He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he sent the person away.
Seeing his useless appearance, Lu Shiyan was speechless.
After the matter was resolved, it was already 9:30 in the evening. He went upstairs tiredly and was about to take a shower and go to bed when a phone call came in. He raised his eyebrows and picked up the phone casually.
"Heaven and Earth, only you are missing, come here."
"Okay, wait."
