Chapter 109 Going to the Engagement Ceremony
Ruan Zhaohuang and Zeng Rui were both aware of the marriage between Ai Ya and Zhou Yian. They received an invitation from the Ai family.
As Aiya's younger brother, Aija certainly couldn't miss such a big event.
Ai Jia didn't know that her parents had given the Ruan family an invitation.
Children are generally not allowed to interfere when their parents are doing things.
Unless he is one of the participants.
And at Aiya's engagement ceremony, Aiga had no say.
He was furious. He didn't even know who Aiya was engaged to. He had always thought it was Bo Junye, but the night before the engagement, he happened to see the name on the invitation and realized that his sister Aiya was engaged to Zhou Yian.
"Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Ai Jia was emotionally broken and didn't understand why her sister agreed to marry Zhou Yian instead of Bo Junye.
Ai Jia's status in the family is only slightly higher than Ai's father's.
Their family favors girls over boys, and both the father and son are not liked at all.
Ai's mother simply ignored him. Ai Ya didn't want to mention this matter either, so she simply evaded him with a few words, "This is what my parents decided."
It means that she has no ability to resist.
Ai Jia pounded the table with her fist. "But Brother Bo doesn't care?"
Ai Ya's face was expressionless: "This is a major matter between the Ai family and the Zhou family, don't interfere."
Ai Jia was indignant: "What is the relationship between you and Zhou Yian?"
Aiya laughed at his naiveté, "How can there be so much emotion in a wealthy marriage? As long as the interests are secure, that's all that matters."
Ai Jia, the foolish and inexperienced brother, suddenly sneered and lowered his head dejectedly, "It's always like this, you give up so easily."
Aya's steps on the stairs suddenly stopped, and her heart felt like it was being pounded with a stick.
But she didn't look back or make any excuses.
After her daughter went upstairs, Ai's mother sighed softly and pulled Ai Jia over.
Ai Jia thought that Ai's mother was trying to persuade him not to be so stubborn. Just as he was about to retort, he heard Ai's mother say, "How's your blind date going?"
Aija was stunned by the easy change of topic.
"Why are you looking at mom like that? What did the eldest lady of the Ruan family say? Does she like you?" Ai's mother's repeated questions made Ai Jia feel like she was surrounded by poisonous snakes.
"Mom." He frowned, "Why didn't I feel this way before? You and Dad seem to treat my marriage with my sister as a transaction?"
Aija always felt that she was free.
Otherwise, how could he develop such an unrestrained personality?
But Ai's mother's attitude showed him that his days of being willful and casual were long over!
Ai's mother looked at him with clear eyes, no longer showing the indulgence she had before.
"Aijia, you are 26 years old this year, right?"
Ai Jia laughed in anger, "Mom, don't you remember your son's birthday?"
Ai's mother continued, "At 26, most people would still be taking the civil service exams, but you've already become the city secretary."
Aija frowned, as if a marble was circling around her heart, leaving a dent wherever it passed.
Of course he knew who deserved the credit.
Ai's mother suddenly looked up at him seriously and said, "Whether it's the Zhou family or the Ruan family, they are all the help that my parents have found for the Ruan family."
"Do you understand what Mom means?"
Ai Jia was stunned for a moment, and finally realized the seriousness of the problem, "Mom, you mean, Dad..."
Mother Ai answered without asking, "So now, can you tell me, how does Miss Ruan treat you?"
Ai Jia's face looked grim, firstly because of what her mother had said about her father having suffered an unprecedented setback in his career, and secondly because Ruan Nuan had indeed not agreed to date him.
He has been simple-minded since he was a child. What he wants to say is all in his eyes and he can't hide it at all.
Ai's mother frowned, sighed softly, and gave him an order.
"Can you bring Miss Ruan to your sister's engagement ceremony this time?"
Ai Jia frowned, not understanding her mother's intention, "Why must..."
"This is a test from your mother, my child. You are not young anymore. It's time to think more deeply about the problems in society." Mother Ai stood up. "Mom is waiting for your good news."
Aija's heart sank as if a jack was pressing on her chest.
If the Ai family is in trouble, it is only natural for Aya to be willing to be killed in order to save the honor of the Ai family.
Was it not enough for his mother to just put Aya's marriage at stake, but she also wanted to involve him?
what does that mean?
Ai Jia didn't dare to think too much about it. He couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. Even though he knew Ruan Nuan was at work, he still made an appointment with her the next day.
He has a pleasing appearance and a silver tongue; it is no exaggeration to say that he is a man of many words.
Moreover, Aya's engagement party is a time bomb hidden in Ruan Nuan's heart.
She knew that Ai Ya was in an open relationship with Bo Jun Ye, so would Ai Ya and Bo Jun Ye be the ones getting engaged?
The thought of them getting engaged and getting married in the future made her heart feel like it was filled with thorns, and the pain was so severe that she couldn't breathe.
She knew that the Ruan family had accepted the invitation from the Ai family, but the inviter was not her, but her parents.
Now Ai Jia invites her...
"Nuannuan, what are you daydreaming about?" Shen Xianglan waved her fingers in front of her a few times and found that her eyes were not moving at all. She was obviously immersed in her own thoughts and couldn't extricate herself.
"Ah?" Ruan Nuan came back to her senses and stammered, "Is the department busy today?"
"Not busy." Shen Xianglan smiled at her, "There are only a few operations this morning, and even the director hasn't come yet. I thought I could see the director today, but she took a leave of absence. What a coincidence."
Shen Xianglan was resting yesterday, so she didn't see Master Aya, but only heard of her name.
Seeing that Ruan Nuan had a good opinion of her, she began to have some expectations for Aya.
"I want to ask for leave." Ruan Nuan said suddenly.
Shen Xianglan was stunned: "Why? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ruan Nuan is also a model worker and rarely takes leave during working hours.
Ruan Nuan shook her head gently, "No, I suddenly had something urgent to do."
Ai Jia was afraid that she had offended Ruan Nuan, so she suddenly sent another message: "It will only take one lunch, and I will take you back to the hospital after it's over."
"I'll be back in the afternoon," Ruan Nuan added.
Shen Xianglan paused, and seeing that she was indeed anxious, he said, "Then go quickly."
He was anxious in his heart, but he walked very slowly, as if he was afraid to face the cruel reality.
Not long after she left.
Shen Xianglan heard Wang Yunyue gossiping behind her back, "Director Ai isn't asking for leave, unlike Deputy Director Ruan who's slacking off at work."
"You know again?" Shen Xianglan now dislikes Wang Yunyue very much.
Ever since the last time they fought and both were injured, they have disliked each other.
"Why wouldn't I know?" Wang Yunyue confronted her. "You weren't here yesterday, so we didn't know. But we do have a basic understanding of Director Ai. She wasn't here today because she went to an engagement ceremony!"
Shen Xianglan looked at Wang Yunyue's arrogant expression and remained skeptical. "You told such a big thing as the engagement ceremony to a subordinate you'd only known for a day? Are you crazy?"
