This is clearly a way of turning away customers.
Jiang Ran was stunned when she heard this. Her grandfather had always been a kind person and was always polite to everyone. This was the first time she had ever seen him so bluntly tell her to leave.
She glanced at Huo Siyan discreetly; his expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be angry.
Jiang Ran chuckled twice and quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Grandpa..."
She was interrupted again before she could finish speaking.
"Xiao Ran... and Qing Wan, both of you go out. I have a few words to say to President Huo alone." Old Master Shen's eyes revealed shrewdness. Although he was already old with graying temples, he still showed no signs of fatigue. No matter when you saw him, he was always full of energy.
Everyone was taken aback. Although they were puzzled, they all left.
Jiang Ran glanced at Huo Siyan with some unease, feeling a pang of regret.
If I had known my family would react so strongly, I shouldn't have let him come to our house!
Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it now.
After the door closed, everyone came outside and immediately surrounded Jiang Ran.
"Xiao Ran, why didn't you make it clear yesterday that the person you were getting engaged to was Huo Siyan?"
If she had told them yesterday, they would never have agreed to let him visit today.
Jiang Ran was puzzled: "What's wrong with Huo Siyan? He's a human being too."
"Mom doesn't want you to get involved with such a complicated family as the Huo family. They're so complicated. I heard that besides him, they have two other sons who have been fighting tooth and nail for the position of heir for the past few years. Mom just wants you to live a peaceful life and doesn't want you to live in danger every day."
Such a complicated family must have many enemies besides their own. As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. I hope her Xiao Ran won't be dragged down by Huo Siyan!
"Mom... don't worry unnecessarily. We're just engaged, not getting married."
"Even an engagement is not an option!"
Jiang Huaijing also began to persuade her, "Yes, little sister, if you are bullied by a powerful family like the Huo family, how can your brother stand up for you?"
“Yes, Xiaoran, just listen to your mother.” Jiang Qinghe agreed, “If it were just an ordinary wealthy family, our family could still protect you in the future, but… the Huo family is different.”
Jiang Ran finally understood. It turned out that they disliked the Huo family's power and were afraid that if she were bullied in the future, they would not be able to help her get revenge.
Jiang Ran's eyes welled up with tears. Why were all her family members so kind? Why did they all care about her so much?
She was so touched...
Unfortunately, she couldn't tell them that her engagement with Huo Siyan was just a pretense, and that they would be even after three years and would never cross paths again.
Sniffing, Jiang Ran patted Shen Qingwan and Jiang Qinghe on the shoulders reassuringly: "I know you're worried that I'll be bullied in the future, but... I hope you can believe me. I promise you that I will absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not let myself be wronged. Even if Huo Siyan is all-powerful, I will not wrong myself."
"Can..."
"Alright, stop with the 'buts'. Don't you have any faith in me? I know very well what I'm doing. I have my own ideas and plans, and I hope that all my decisions will be supported by you."
Shen Qingwan raised her hand and ruffled her hair. Seeing that she had said this, she knew that she couldn't persuade her anymore. Her youngest daughter never changed her mind once she made up her mind.
All she could do was support her silently from behind.
“Okay... whatever you do, Mom will support you.” Shen Qingwan hesitated, “It’s just that your grandfather’s personality is just like yours. Once he’s made up his mind, he won’t change it easily. I’m afraid even I can’t persuade him.”
Just then, the tightly closed door was opened.
Old Master Shen and Huo Siyan walked out one after the other, neither of them showing any expression or emotion.
Seeing this, everyone wondered what they had talked about, and whether there was anything they needed to discuss privately.
"Alright, everyone, stop gathering here." Old Master Shen spoke first, then instructed, "Tell the housekeeper to bring an extra set of chopsticks and bowls for lunch."
ah? ?
Everyone was shocked.
What's going on? Wasn't he just strongly against it?
They even told Huo Siyan to leave, so why are they inviting him to lunch now?
What exactly did they talk about inside?
Jiang Ran was also very curious. What exactly did they talk about? What did Huo Siyan say that made her grandfather suddenly change his mind?
He didn't seem like a particularly eloquent person, so what exactly did he say? She was incredibly curious.
The meal was eaten in silence.
Jiang Ran silently ate her rice, occasionally observing the expressions on everyone's faces.
The atmosphere is so strange...
Why did Grandpa suddenly invite people to dinner? And why did Huo Siyan actually agree?
He's so busy, shouldn't his time be very precious?
Is it necessary to waste so much time on her as a trading partner?
Moreover... the atmosphere at the dinner table became extremely uncomfortable after he stayed.
So, after the meal, Jiang Ran made an excuse and left with Huo Siyan.
Let's ask her what happened when she gets back.
The others, once the two of them left, immediately couldn't resist their curiosity and surrounded Old Master Shen.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, what exactly did Huo Siyan talk to you about?"
"Yes, yes, weren't you against your sister seeing him? Why did you suddenly agree?"
"Yes, Dad, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Old Master Shen raised his hand and stroked his beard, then smiled knowingly before taking out a document and placing it on the table.
Everyone stared at it intently, then exclaimed in surprise, "A prenuptial agreement?"
Shen Qingwan was stunned: "Dad...they're only just getting engaged, they haven't even reached the point of marriage yet, how come you've already prepared a prenuptial agreement? And weren't you very opposed to them being together? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"Yes, Grandpa, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Grandpa Shen tapped his cane and stroked his white beard, saying, "Don't I know Xiao Ran well enough? There's no point in opposing her decisions, so all we can do is try our best to ensure she doesn't get hurt."
"But...even if we sign a prenuptial agreement, can we guarantee she won't get hurt?"
"Take another careful look at the contents of the agreement."
After his reminder, everyone finally looked seriously at the contents of the agreement.
1. After marriage, the husband should not interfere with the wife's work interests, and he must fully respect the wife's opinions.
2: If the woman wants a divorce, the man must agree unconditionally.
3. If the husband does anything to wrong the wife after marriage, he must divorce her immediately and pay her RMB compensation.
4:..........
