"How did my Ruan Ruan become your granddaughter-in-law?" Ruan Zaiqing was unhappy. "Don't say anything that will ruin my good granddaughter's reputation."
"Hey, how could I have ruined the reputation of your good granddaughter? You've seen my eldest grandson too. Although he's not much better than your other grandchildren, he's not bad overall. Maybe Ruan Ruan will be satisfied after seeing him."
"No, my Ruan Ruan still has to go to school." Ruan Zaiqing firmly objected, as if Qi Siji was trafficking minors.
"She said she doesn't want to go. Don't force the child in Qing."
Ruan Zaiqing looked at Mu Ruanruan: "Child, do you really not want to go to school?"
Mu Ruanruan: "......"
Could she not answer?
But Ruan Zaiqing stared at her, waiting for her to speak, Mu Mingda and Mu Baizhi were staring at her, everyone was staring at her.
She feels a lot of pressure.
"Well, it's not hard to explain, it's just..."
"Then they will go," Ruan Zaiqing said with finality. "There's no reason for children of our Ruan family to not go to school and get married early."
Qi Siji couldn't argue and felt unhappy.
He muttered, "It's not impossible to wait a few years. My dear grandson hasn't graduated yet anyway."
This time, Ruan Zaiqing did not refute, but only asked what was going on with Mu Mingda's forced marriage.
As a last resort, Mu Mingda told the whole story, how he had arranged to marry into the Zhao family, how they broke off the engagement, and how Mu Ruanruan had to go to the countryside. Now it has been three years, and his Zhao Jinyu had broken up with someone else, and now he has turned his attention to his family.
If I don't agree, the Zhao family will try to use their power to pressure me.
Those earlier calls were from school leaders, who advised him to establish good relations with the Zhao family.
Zhao Qishan held a high position, so he used his connections to pressure the Mu family into making this marriage happen.
Bang!
Ruan Zaiqing slammed his palm on the table.
"How can this be? How can I let him bully my Ruan Ruan like this? He's bullying me, isn't he? Fine, fine, fine."
After that, I’ll make a phone call.
Qi Siji coughed.
Ruan Zaiqing didn't hear it and started dialing the number.
Except for Mu Ruanruan who heard Qi Siji mention his position, Mu Baizhi, Mu Mingda and Ye Qian had no idea what his identity was and thought he was just a retired veteran.
Seeing the grand ceremony when he came, they thought that he had saved some money over the years, or made some contributions, and that the higher-ups had given him more benefits. They never thought that he was a great figure, and naturally never asked about it.
Seeing him on the phone, Mu Mingda thought he was trying to curry favor and seek connections, so he stopped him: "It's okay, Dad. It's not good to trouble others. His family can't do everything. I have a way."
He thought he was using his connections to trouble others, but Mu Mingda was not one to trouble others.
"How could it be a bother to others? I am her grandfather." Ruan Zaiqing insisted.
Only Qi Siji coughed again and again.
Ruan Zaiqing ignored Mu Mingda's obstruction and glanced at Qi Siji. The latter knew his background and knew that his dry cough must have other intentions.
But Ruan Zaiqing ignored her. The phone started beeping, and Qi Siji spoke up: "Zaiqing, are you ready to face her?"
These words were like a bomb, shocking everyone.
Who is this she?
Is he a boy or a girl? What's the grudge between them?
Ruan Zaiqing actually hung up the phone, looking at Mu Baizhi with an embarrassed look on his face. He worriedly twitched the corners of his mouth, and then closed it after a long time.
He didn't say a word, as if he didn't intend to explain.
He looked like he had something on his mind, but he didn't intend to explain.
Although he looked calm when talking about his three grandchildren, he is now indeed worried.
But this time, Mu Baizhi was not angry and said nothing. The atmosphere was a little depressing.
"What should we do? Ruan Ruan can't be bullied by the Zhao family." Ruan Zaiqing said, the previous atmosphere was gone, and there was a bit of helplessness in his voice.
Qi Siji couldn't stand this kind of bullying: "My granddaughter-in-law, no one can bully her. I will come forward to solve the problem."
"No!" Ruan Zaiqing refused.
"Okay, okay, at least I won't tell you that she's my granddaughter-in-law."
"That won't work either."
"Zai Qing Ni, what do you mean?"
"Ruan Ruan's reputation is important."
Yes, according to Qi Siji's personality, if he came forward to help her solve this matter, he would inevitably bring up the matter of his grandson's wife, which would be detrimental to Mu Ruanruan's reputation.
Ruan Zaiqing wanted to resolve this matter cleanly without any consequences affecting Mu Ruanruan.
"Grandpa, actually, I can handle it myself." Mu Ruanruan said, grateful for his favor.
Ruan Zaiqing has always been the one giving orders, so how could he be suppressed by the Zhao family because of this incident? Although he didn't know what concerns he had behind the scenes, he would definitely not stand idly by.
"Don't worry, Grandpa will find a way to deal with this matter."
Mu Mingda was deeply moved, but he felt that as a university professor, he couldn't do anything. As a retired veteran, even if he knew some people, how much of a difference could he make?
"Dad!" Mu Mingda didn't want to embarrass him.
"Okay, stop talking and let Daning handle it." Ruan Zaiqing's words could not be questioned.
Qi Siji nodded: "That's a good idea. The Zhao family is also in the army, right? So it makes sense to let Daning handle this matter. He is Ruan Ruan's eldest brother and should take care of his sister."
But, Daning, she hasn't even met him yet.
A sister he has never met has caused such a big trouble for the elder brother to deal with. Will he hate her?
But Ruan Zaiqing has already made up his mind about this matter and is currently talking to Daning on the phone.
After explaining the situation, he hung up the phone. It was obvious that the person on the other end didn't say anything and was just following orders.
"Dad, this might not be a good idea. Daning is still a child." Mu Mingda really didn't want to let his father, who had just returned, worry about his own affairs.
I don't want to worry my nephew whom I have never met.
What kind of thing is this? Asking his nephew to do his uncle's business? Mu Mingda really can't do such a thing.
"Dad, I'll handle it myself. Don't bother the child. I know you care about Ruan Ruan. Although the Zhao family is powerful, you, a veteran, can't do anything to them. What's more, Daning..."
"Veteran?" Ruan Zaiqing then remembered that he had never told his son and his lover about what had happened to him over the years.
They only know that they are serving in the army. Now that they are old, they are veterans.
Qi Siji lowered his head and laughed silently.
Mu Ruanruan: "Dad, actually grandpa..."
"Hey~ Since you know I'm a veteran, then just follow my instructions. Veterans like us have our own logic and methods."
Mu Mingda wanted to say something, but Qi Siji stopped him: "Mingda, don't worry about this matter. As a retired veteran father, you won't let your granddaughter suffer."
