Chapter 99 Getting Engaged Before Being Old Enough
Fan Ailing said shyly, "Oh, it's not me, it's a classmate of mine."
Seeing her ears turning red and her eyes filled with shyness, Jiang Jianni suddenly asked, "What's your boyfriend's name?"
Fan Ailing's eyes widened instantly, panicked and at a loss for words: "I, I didn't..."
Jiang Jianni tapped her slightly flushed cheeks: "With your lovestruck expression, you're saying you're not in a relationship?"
"Do you think I'm blind or stupid? Can't you even see that?"
Although Fan Ailing was a girl, she was spoiled and pampered at home.
With her little secret exposed, she decided to stop pretending and said directly, "Fine, I admit it, I'm in a relationship."
"I'm eighteen already, what's wrong with dating?"
"My mom married my dad when she was eighteen."
"I'm just dating, not getting married, so it's not a big deal, right?"
Jiang Jianni didn't know what to say.
Needless to say, his past life was a lonely existence from birth to time travel.
In this lifetime, I time-traveled and got married in a flash.
Forget about dating, there wasn't even any flirting.
The only thing related to romance is that I had a vague crush on my deskmate when I was a student in both my past and present lives.
High school studies were very demanding, and Jiang Jianni had to secretly read novels. The original owner of the body was also fully focused on her studies. Her feelings for him were just that—feelings—and didn't have time to develop into love before her short high school life came to an end.
Writing novels is all just theoretical.
In real life, when faced with this situation, one is often at a loss as to whether to encourage or discourage it.
After a long while, Jiang Jianni asked in a low voice, "Do your parents know?"
Fan Ailing looked at her like she was a fool: "My dad is counting on me to get into university, how could I dare let him know?"
"If he finds out, he'll break my legs."
Fan Junshan doted on Fan Ailing, but he was also very strict with her.
Studying hard is fine, making friends is fine too, but don't even think about dating.
Jiang Jianni sighed: "So it's because your boyfriend wants to go abroad and you want to ask about the requirements for going abroad?"
"To be honest, I don't know much about this."
"I hadn't thought about going abroad, so I hadn't paid attention to that aspect."
"If you want to know, go and ask the relevant government departments."
"I only know that students with good grades in university do have the opportunity to go abroad as exchange students."
"So you should let him study hard, get into a good university, and if he studies hard at school, the opportunity to go abroad will naturally come."
Unexpectedly, Fan Ailing shook her head: "No, it's my own choice to go abroad."
Jiang Jianni was even more surprised: "You really want to go abroad?"
Fan Ailing lowered her head and thought for a while, then looked up at Jiang Jiani and said softly, "Sister, you're not a gossip, so I'll tell you the truth."
"Yes, that's right, it was my own idea to go abroad."
Jiang Jianni didn't understand why she was in such a hurry: "Then you can wait until you go to university before going abroad. The school will support you then, and the cost will be much lower."
Fan Ailing shook her head: "No, it's too late."
Jiang Jiani was baffled.
Fan Ailing said, "Anyway, you don't get along with my dad, so you probably won't tell on me. But I'll tell you the truth anyway."
"My dad wants me to get engaged to someone right after I finish the college entrance exam."
"!!!"
Jiang Jianni was startled: "No, you'll only be nineteen after the New Year, why is he in such a hurry?"
Moreover, Fan Junshan has always doted on his daughter Fan Ailing and is hoping that she will go to university and bring honor to his family. How could he possibly let her get married so early?
Nowadays, engagement and marriage are essentially the same thing.
Fan Ailing laughed sarcastically: "Right, you find it unbelievable too, don't you?"
"Even I, as his own daughter, never expected this. I naively thought my dad truly loved and doted on me. Who knew, haha, it was all fake."
Fan Ailing had probably been holding it in for a long time, and when Jiang Jiani asked her, she told her everything without hesitation.
Fan Junshan is a very shrewd and adept maneuvering person.
They will seize any opportunity to climb the ladder.
But as an ordinary person, and an ordinary person with little education, the chances of climbing the social ladder are practically nonexistent.
It just so happens that Fan Ailing was very cute when she was born, and she didn't turn out badly as she grew up.
She went from cute to elegant.
In addition, Fan Junshan bought a lot of books and made Fan Ailing memorize them as hard as she could.
Gradually, this also cultivated Fan Ailing's scholarly air.
Before Fan Ailing went to high school, he even sent her to learn to dance.
As a result, Fan Ailing's demeanor was also very good.
Even if they are biological children, many people are unwilling to spend so much time and money raising a girl.
Who knows if Fan Junshan truly loves his daughter Fan Ailing?
But actually, from the moment Fan Junshan discovered that Fan Ailing was good-looking, he set his sights on her.
His logic was that he himself was incapable of becoming an official, but he could arrange for his daughter to marry an official, thus making him the father-in-law of an official.
Rounding it off, he could be considered to have some connection with officials.
Moreover, if Fan Ailing could marry a son-in-law who is an official, she could help her younger brother in the future, and perhaps her son could also enter the officialdom.
Isn't having a son who is an official more legitimate than having a son-in-law who is an official?
He spent a lot of money to cultivate Fan Ailing, actually aiming to make her a role model for the wives of officials.
Fan Ailing was told by her father from a young age that she was blessed and destined to be an official's wife. When she was young, she didn't think much of it.
But as children grow older and develop their own thinking abilities, especially after entering high school, they become more mature.
I live on campus every day, and my classmates come from all sorts of different families.
She then realized how abnormal her family environment was.
Jiang Jianni was stunned: "Wait, your dad always says that girls should be raised in luxury, but is it really so that you can marry into a good family?"
Fan Ailing said expressionlessly, "Yes, didn't expect that, did you?"
Jiang Jianni felt nauseous.
Fan Ailing tugged at her clothes: "Looks good, right? Pretty, right? It's very expensive. This whole outfit cost more than two thousand yuan."
"I wore this outfit to my blind date before the Lunar New Year."
Jiang Jianni's eyes nearly popped out. She quickly covered her mouth and whispered desperately, "Blind date? You're still in school and they're already sending you on blind dates?"
Fan Ailing twitched the corner of her mouth: "My dad said that the other party has a bright future and will be promoted in the future, so he told me to seize this opportunity no matter what."
"If you're not old enough, get engaged first, and establish your reputation first."
"I'll have a child while I'm still young. I'm young, I'll recover quickly, and it won't delay my future college education."
"Moreover, given the other party's status, if I had a child, they wouldn't dare to deny it."
Jiang Jianni couldn't help but say, "Wait, wait, please wait a moment."
"Something's getting weirder and weirder to me. How old is that person? Isn't he about your age?"
