Old Mrs. Ren jokingly said, "Oh? So you haven't seen Lei Ting?" Now that Lei Ting has become the future grandson-in-law of the Ren family, Old Mrs. Ren calls the head of the Lei family by his name.
Ren Yaohua paused and said, "I've met him once or twice, both by chance, and we didn't really talk."
Old Mrs. Ren was a little puzzled by Lei Ting's sudden proposal of marriage. After all, there were many families who wanted to marry into the Lei family, and many of them were better off than the Ren family. Moreover, the Ren family's coal mine was damaged not long ago, and nearly half of the family property was divided up due to the division of the family. Although it was not to the point of ruin, it was still somewhat damaged.
Old Master Ren thought that this was most likely because the Prince Xian's Mansion was about to be restored, but Old Lady Ren actually wondered if Lei Ting had taken a fancy to Ren Yaohua. She had also secretly inquired and learned that Ren Yaohua had a good relationship with the eldest daughter of the Lei family, and had met Lei Ting several times, and it seemed that they had even talked.
Seeing Ren Yaohua denying it, Old Lady Ren naturally didn't believe it, but she didn't point it out. She just patted Ren Yaohua's hand and said, "Okay, okay, Grandma was just asking casually."
Mrs. Ren thought for a moment and added, "However, it's best for you not to meet the child of the Lei family for the time being. Now that you and Lei Ting are engaged, you must be careful to avoid suspicion. Otherwise, there will be gossip outside, which will be bad for your reputation. As for the child, you can coax her casually after you get married."
Mrs. Ren's words showed her disapproval of Lei Pan'er. Ren Yaohua felt uncomfortable after hearing this and was about to speak.
Ren Yaoqi, however, first defended herself, "Sister couldn't bear to refuse Pan'er's invitation because she felt sorry for her because she had no mother, no sisters, and no brothers. It wasn't because she wanted to get close to someone and use her as a child."
Ren Yaoqi's words startled Ren Yaohua. Thinking carefully about the logic behind Old Lady Ren's words, didn't Old Lady Ren think that she was deliberately trying to get close to Lei Pan'er because she wanted to marry Lei Ting? Now that the marriage contract between the two families was finalized, Lei Pan'er was naturally no longer of any use.
Ren Yaohua felt very uncomfortable and felt insulted.
Old Madam Ren slapped Ren Yaoqi and scolded him lightly, trying to cover up the truth: "How can you talk like that, child? Grandma was just reminding Hua'er, that's not what she meant."
Although Old Lady Ren said this, there was still a sense of discomfort on her face that she couldn't hide. Ren Yaohua understood that this was exactly what Old Lady Ren meant.
She bit her lip. Although she didn't say anything else, the emotion and admiration that had been evoked by Mrs. Ren's sentimental words had faded a lot.
She was a proud person and could not bear the fact that she was such a person in the eyes of others, especially in the eyes of her grandmother whom she had always respected.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Ren Yaohua. While she didn't blame Ren Yaohua for being close to Old Lady Ren, she wasn't happy about it either. For future planning, it would be best to keep Ren Yaohua and Old Lady Ren separate, so as to avoid the dilemma of choosing between her natal family and her in-laws' family. (To be continued...)
