Chapter 258: Master of Emotion
Wang Lan's eyes dimmed slightly, and Ji Wan quickly continued. "Don't worry, I have a private doctor here. I'll have her give you a comprehensive examination. That way, we'll have a better idea of what's going on."
Wang Lan's eyes instantly lit up again, her face filled with joy. "Really? Wanwan, thank you so much."
Wang Lan felt more at ease and was not so nervous anymore.
Ji Wan and Wang Lan were chatting. The courtyard had not been so lively for a long time. There were many rooms here, and Wang Lan and Ji Lin lived here.
As night fell, the courtyard was shrouded in gentle lights. As the wedding was approaching, Chi Wenyan invited Feng Hao and Sun Tian to the courtyard for dinner.
Feng Hao and Sun Tian were still the first to arrive. When they came, they were carrying large and small bags of things. Those who knew they were giving gifts thought they were going back to their parents' home, but those who didn't thought they were not.
"You're here, and you brought so many things with you."
Sun Tian scratched her head and smiled. Wang Lan came out and was stunned for a moment because she didn't know Sun Tian. Ji Wan hurriedly introduced her.
Sun Tian originally wanted to go into the kitchen to help, but was stopped by Ji Wan.
"The servants are busy cooking. You finally came over, so let's chat for a while."
The three of them went to Ji Wan's bedroom. Wang Lan and Sun Tian chatted with each other and both had a good impression of each other. They had similar backgrounds and family backgrounds, so they quickly opened up.
What worries Sun Tian the most right now is the issue of marriage.
"What's wrong? What's there to be so entangled about? Did the meeting with the parents go badly?"
When Sun Tian heard this, her smiling face froze and a hint of grievance flashed in her eyes, but she still sighed softly.
"Well, his parents do agree that we should be together, but some of the elders in his family don't agree."
Ji Wan frowned and asked quickly, "You are such a good girl, with good character and ambition, what are you dissatisfied with?"
Wang Lan nodded aside, "Yes, and I think Feng Hao is a good person. He is not the kind of person who cares about family background. His family has agreed to it, so it is not their elders' turn to say anything."
Ji Wan looked at Wang Lan in surprise. If it were the Wang Lan of the past, she would have been as conflicted as Sun Tian. But now that she could say this, it was clear that she had long since stopped being conflicted and had accepted herself.
Sun Tian bit her lip and said in a low voice, "It's because we are not a good match. They think Fenghao should find a girl with a similar family background. They think I am not worthy of Fenghao."
Sun Tian sighed and rubbed her eyebrows.
"Every time I went to his house and happened to meet those elders, they would persuade Madam Feng to be cautious about this marriage." When Sun Tian said this, her eyes turned slightly red and she blinked hard to try to hold back the tears.
Ji Wan patted Sun Tian's shoulder, rolling his eyes in his heart.
"What era is it now? You still care about matching up with someone of equal social status. You're not uneducated, and you're not just a pretty face."
Sun Tian forced a smile.
"I know Feng Hao has always stood by me, but every time I hear those cold words, I still feel very uncomfortable. I feel like an outsider. No matter how hard I try, I just can't fit in. I don't want to disappoint Madam Feng."
Wang Lan felt the same way and hugged Wang Lan to comfort her.
Ji Wan listened to Sun Tian talk about her troubles, and he and Wang Lan turned into emotional masters, taking turns to enlighten and comfort her.
On the other side, Feng Hao tried hard to pretend to be happy in front of Chi Wenyan and Ji Lin.
Chi Wen Yanyan quietly watched Feng Hao's forced smile, frowned, and looked at Ji Lin.
Ji Lin also noticed the problem and was thinking about how to ask.
Chi Wenyan spoke first.
"What's wrong? What's causing Master Feng to put on such a forced smile?"
Feng Hao's heart tightened. He didn't want to disturb everyone's interest because of his own affairs, so he quickly waved his hands and forced a smile on his face that was uglier than crying.
"It's okay, brother. What can happen to me? I have enough food and drink every day. There's nothing to be unhappy about."
After saying that, he picked up the bottle and drank it in one big gulp.
Chi Wenyan delivered a critical hit on the top of his head.
"Don't play dumb with me. We've been friends for so many years, don't I know you? If you have something to say, just tell me. With so many people around, can't they think of a way to help you?"
"Come on, come on, come on. Oh, second brother, that punch of yours almost killed me."
Ji Lin chuckled, took a sip of wine and said slowly, "Then start. What's making you so worried?"
"Alas, it's my marriage to Tiantian."
Chi Wenyan frowned, looked at Feng Hao and asked, "Why, uncle and aunt don't agree?"
It shouldn't be like this. Feng's father and mother are not the kind of people who care about family background. As long as Feng Hao is happy, that's all that matters.
Feng Hao said with a bitter face, "My parents agree and they think Tiantian is good. It's the elders in my family who don't agree with Tiantian and I being together and have been obstructing our marriage."
Ji Lin interrupted and said, "So what do you think? Do you care about the opinions of the elders?"
Feng Hao hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Why should I care about what those people do? As you all know, big families have many interests involved. For the sake of my parents, I can't confront them face to face."
Chi Wenyan crossed his arms and looked Feng Hao in the eye. "Can those elders override your family's decision? Aren't family matters decided by you and your parents?"
"That's the theory, but those old guys always put pressure on me by saying things from above. My parents are also under some pressure."
"If they really object, you won't marry Sun Tian?"
"Of course not. I will definitely marry Tiantian. I love her and I won't give up on her because of this."
Chi Wenyan patted Feng Hao's shoulder.
"That's right. Since you're so determined, what are you worried about? You have to know that your life is your own, and your marriage is your own too."
Ji Lin nodded aside, "Yeah, it would be a shame to give up because of this."
Feng Hao took a deep breath and said, "Yes, you are right. I plan to move out and develop on my own with Tiantian."
Chi Wenyan nodded, "That's right, you have to protect Tiantian like a man. You'd better develop your power quickly this year. If you need anything, tell me."
Chi Wenyan remembered something and smiled meaningfully.
"When you become strong enough, you will find that there are many good people in your family who support you."
Ji Lin nodded in agreement, "Brother-in-law is right."
Feng Hao couldn't help laughing. Chi Wenyan was actually older than Ji Lin. How could it not be funny when he heard Ji Lin calling Chi Wenyan his brother-in-law?
"Thank you, Brother Ji, I've figured it out. Give me a year and I'll definitely beat them."
Feng Hao started to get excited. The meal was ready at this time, so the servants went to call Ji Wan and the others to come out for dinner.
Feng Hao took a deep breath and looked determined, but when he saw Sun Tian with red eyes, he still panicked!
"What's wrong with Tiantian? Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?"
Feng Hao rushed over and Sun Tian shook his head.
"I'm fine. Let's talk about it when we get home. I'm really fine."
