Ruan Kangri's eyes showed disdain, but he greeted her warmly and proactively, "This must be Xiao Si, right? Really... really..."
I couldn't utter a single polite word I had prepared. How could I possibly compliment this skeleton? Should I praise its uniqueness?
Ruan Xianxian turned around and reminded him, "This is my grandson, your grandfather. Give him the luggage."
Jing Si subconsciously handed over the luggage he was carrying, not daring to delay for even a moment.
He had a fever for most of the journey back to Beijing, but he still clearly remembered everything that happened along the way.
Enemy agents, poisoning, gunfights, bullets flying everywhere.
Corpses lay strewn across the narrow train aisle, blood soaking the train walls and flowing into the carriages.
There were even white-faced ghosts floating in mid-air and strange people with green vines sprouting from their hands. He didn't know if those were real, and only hoped that they were all just illusions caused by his delirium.
After the terrifying train ride of that half-day passed, when he looked at Ruan Xianxian again, he felt that she was even more terrifying than the faceless ghost in his hallucination.
“Grandpa!” He handed over the luggage almost instinctively.
Ruan Kangri's face darkened. Considering that this person was his future grandson-in-law, he was about to take the luggage when Jing's father, who reacted strongly, slammed it heavily to the ground.
Ruan Kangri's hand froze in mid-air, and he squinted.
Jing's father was seething with anger, but he couldn't directly tell his son not to touch it for fear of catching hepatitis A. So he could only say:
"There's no custom of a junior asking an elder to help carry their luggage; people will say that you're ill-mannered."
He spoke to Jing Si and Ruan Kangri, but his gaze swept sharply across Ruan Xianxian's face.
He was already unhappy with the marriage, and now his son had been tormented like this. Forget about giving her a pleasant look; he now wished he could skin her alive and starve her for five days and five nights.
The old mother's wishes could not be disobeyed, so Jing's father sneered, "Fine, we'll just pass by the registration office on the way to the hospital, let the two young people get their marriage certificate first."
He extended his hand and said, "Please, Comrade Ruan."
Ruan Xianxian feigned surprise, "What certificate? Didn't I say that this certificate can't be obtained?"
"Can't pull it off? That's not up to you." As soon as Mr. Jing finished speaking, several uncles, nephews and cousins of the Jing family subtly surrounded her.
It's like they're trying to force it if soft methods don't work, like making a cow drink water by force.
"Grandpa Jing Si's in-laws?" Ruan Xianxian looked at Ruan Kangri in disbelief, who almost fainted from anger. What kind of ridiculous title is "Grandpa Jing Si's in-laws"?
Before she could even launch an attack, Ruan Xianxian, unaccustomed to pressing for answers, asked, "What do you mean? I already have a boyfriend, are you planning to force me into marriage?"
The Jing family members' faces fell. As expected, she was an ill-mannered wild girl, shameless.
Ruan Kangri's expression also darkened. "What kind of partner is she? Doesn't she know about arranged marriages? Does she have no manners at all?"
Then he looked at Jing's father and said, "The child is young and doesn't understand. After marriage, he will naturally break off contact with those shady men outside."
"Now that she's married into the Jing family, if she's disobedient, let Xiao Si teach her a lesson. It's getting late, let's go."
Ruan Xianxian felt a hard shove on her shoulder. Turning around, she saw a young man from the Jing family. She looked around and questioned him:
“I have a position in the Ministry of National Defense and am under the command of the military. Do you dare to force me?”
Jing's father's eyes flashed.
The cousin who pushed her sneered, "National Defense Security Officer? Countless people die every day, who do you think you are?"
Let alone a security officer without any rank, if a regimental commander were standing in front of him, would the Jing family be afraid?
"Hurry up." He was pushed on the shoulder again. His eyes darted around and he looked at Jing's father: "Uncle, your sister-in-law's job is pretty good."
After they get married, my sister-in-law will be busy taking care of the family, right? Why don't you transfer her job to my brother?
In Ruan Xianxian's hands, this job might only allow her to rise one or two levels at most, or even remain there forever. But it's a completely different story when it falls into the Jing family's hands.
They can advance their careers without taking risks, relying on family connections and networks.
His gaze swept subtly over the silent Jing Si. In the past, such a good thing would have definitely fallen to his cousin, but looking at his current useless state...
The job is in the hands of the Jing family, and it's most likely to end up on his shoulders.
Thinking of this, the man's eyes burned with desire.
Jing's father had a sudden thought.
The job in the special department cannot be transferred, but with the Jing family's help, it is not impossible to find a replacement. However, the replacement position will require starting all over again.
The son has a job, and a pretty good one at that, but he can use it to exchange for benefits with the powerful Jing family members on the other side.
He said meaningfully, "Indeed, Ruan Ruan and A Si are preparing for pregnancy after their marriage, so she shouldn't go to work anymore."
What kind of job? Old Man Ruan was dumbfounded. This brat wasn't going to the countryside, so what kind of job did she get?
As they walked, the Jing family members discussed things openly, using very subtle language, but all of them were reminding her that once she entered the Jing family, she would no longer be Ruan Xianxian, but Jing Xianxian.
It was as if her future, even her life and death, depended entirely on Jing Si.
Ruan Xianxian appeared to be walking unsteadily, but her expression remained lazy throughout, with a playful smile on her lips.
Suddenly someone approached her, and Ruan Baozhu asked in a low voice, "That safety amulet, you still have it with you, right?"
Ruan Xianxian raised an eyebrow. "What if it is? What if it isn't?"
Ruan Baozhu suppressed the excitement in her eyes and gestured for her to keep her voice down.
"You saw it, you've turned Jing Si into this wretched state, and what was supposed to be a marriage alliance has become a feud."
"Will you have a good life after you marry into the Jing family?"
Ruan Xianxian: "And then?"
Ruan Baozhu: "Give me the jade pendant, and I can get you out of here and ruin this marriage, how about that?"
"You?" Ruan Xianxian looked her up and down, her eyes filled with contempt.
Ruan Baozhu took a deep breath, "I can't, but what if it's the youngest leader in China? At least it's no problem to take you away from here today."
