Chapter 85: 85 1’m not that close with him… 1
Jian Yufei woke up very early in the morning, then after notifying her grandfather, she took a taxi to her mother’s house.
She brought some gifts with her, and when she knocked on the door and Wang Daizhen saw that she was alone, she asked sadly, “Yufei, didn’t Tianling come with you?”
“Hmm, he has something to attend to, so he didn’t come.” Jian Yufei entered carrying the gifts. Her stepfather, seeing that Ruan Tianling was not there, was equally disappointed.
His previously beaming face faded upon seeing that only Jian Yufei had come.
“Uncle.” Jian Yufei casually greeted him.
“Yufei, Please make a call to Tianling, ask him to come over. I wanted to treat him to a special meal today,” Sun Zhaohui gently told her.
Jian Yufei blinked. What kind of person her uncle was, she knew very well.
If he insisted on inviting Ruan Tianling for dinner, it definitely wouldn’t be that simple. Perhaps, there was something else he needed Ruan Tianling’s help with.
She was about to divorce Tianling soon, they shouldn’t bother him anymore.
“Uncle, Tianling is really busy. You see, these gifts were from him to you. He has shown his kindness, and when I get another chance, I will bring him to have dinner here.” Jian Yufei said this with a straight face, without sweating a bead.
Hearing her words, Sun Zhaohui’s expression not only didn’t lighten but darkened a notch.
He said coolly, “You sit down, I’m going to fetch Xiaohao. It’s about time he’s out of school.”
When he left, Jian Yufei rolled up her sleeves and asked her mother, “Mom, is the food ready? Do you need any help?”
Wang Daizhen laughed, “There are two dishes left. You sit and rest. I’ll cook those and we’re done.”
“Let me help you with them.”
Wang Daizhen didn’t refuse. Jian Yufei followed her right in the kitchen to help her. They chatted while she was helping with the cooking. They talked about the happenings at home.
When she asked about the hotel’s operations, Wang Daizhen finally got the opportunity to talk about it, “The hotel just opened up, and business is sluggish. Yufei, I heard the Ruan Family invested in a travel agency. Is that right?”
Jian Yufei’s eyes shifted slightly, “Seems so.”
Wang Daizhen hesitated before saying, “Do you know why your uncle wanted to invite Tianling to dinner today?”
Jian Yufei shook her head, even though she kind of had an idea of what it was about.
“You know, the hotel’s reputation is not prominent,
contract with the travel agency for us. Make us a designated hotel for them. Our hotel’s environment is excellent. Have a look later and tell Tianling about it.”
Jian Yufei looked down and mumbled, “Mom, I can’t assure you whether
Tianling will accept it or not. Others might not know about my relationship with him, but you should. I’m not really close with him…”‘
Wang Daizhen glanced at her daughter and sighed softly.
Daughters from families like theirs, when marrying into a wealthy family, only have to accept the hardship. It’s unavoidable. If one wants to marry well, one needs to endure what ordinary people cannot endure.
“Try to convince him. For him, it’s just a matter of saying a word. I believe he wouldn’t refuse.’
Jian Yufei nodded, signaling that she would try.
But how to do it, she would have to decide for herself.
By the time they finished cooking the two dishes, Sun Zhaohui returned with Sun Hao. Sun Hao, younger than Jian Yufei by eight years, was only thirteen and was in middle school..
