Chapter 655: Probably Not From a Good Family

“She’s my cousin,” Wen Ruo replied. Then, she added: “She’s about to get engaged.”

“About to get engaged? She looks much younger than you. How come she’s getting engaged already?” Zhu Zimo replied. There was surprise in his voice as he said this.

“Hmm, I guess she fell in love early.”

As a matter of fact, Jian Yiling was only one year younger than Wen Ruo. Her appearance just made her look much younger.

Therefore, this shouldn’t be considered as falling in love at a young age.

However, Wen Ruo’s words made Zhu Zimo feel that this little girl was not as well-behaved as she looked. Well-behaved girls would not fall in love at the age of 14 to 15. In fact, she even got engaged!

In general, if you got engaged that early, something was likely happening behind the scenes.

However, Zhu Zimo did not ask further about the matter. He wasn’t that curious about it. In addition, it was not good to ask too much about the matters happening in someone else’s family.

After Zhu Zimo left, Wen Ruo entered her house.

Cai Qinyue walked into Wen Ruo’s study. She had a platter of fruit in her hand. Then, she asked about Zhu Zimo:

“How was it? How are you and Zimo getting along?”

“Not bad,” Wen Ruo replied. They were getting along fine.

“That’s good. The Zhu family is a very prestigious family in Beijing. Furthermore, Zimo is such a talented child. He’s a perfect match for you. I would not mind him as my future son-in-law. You must hold onto him.”

As she heard her mother’s words, Zhai Yunsheng’s face suddenly flashed into Wen Ruo’s mind.

It was a face that was hard to forget after seeing it.

However, Wen Ruo quickly dismissed that thought from her mind.

She knew that Zhai Yunsheng was an existence that she could not touch nor reach.

“Oh right, have you asked my father why Jian Yiling gave up on Master Sheng? Why did she choose to get engaged to someone from an ordinary family?” Wen Ruo asked. She was still confused about this matter.

The foolish and ordinary old man that came to propose marriage on that day was definitely not from the Zhai family.

He was probably not from a good family background either. Otherwise, he would not nod and bow to the Jian family.

“I don’t know. After I had a fight with your father, I haven’t spoken to him since. I don’t want to ask him about those things. Jian Yiling was probably dumped by Master Sheng. Master Sheng can have anyone he wants around him. Why would he be interested in her? Even if he was interested in her, he’s probably just trying new things. He wouldn’t actually take such a girl as his wife. The Jian family and the Zhai family are hundreds of miles apart.”

The Jian family’s social standing was not even as good as the Wen family’s.

In fact, the Zhu family had better social status than the Wen family. Therefore, both of their families could not even be compared to the Zhai family.

Furthermore, that person was Master Sheng! He wasn’t even interested in the Young Lady of the Qin family. Therefore, why would he be interested in Jian Yiling?

“She rebounded quite quickly,” Wen Ruo commented.

“Well, that’s her business. Just don’t follow her example. For now, just date Zimo. Don’t rush into anything else. Don’t make him feel like you’re cheap or anything. Do you understand?”

“I understand,” Wen Ruo replied. Then, she added: “Mother, you also need to make up with my father soon. Don’t continue to argue with him. My father is very biased towards the Jian family.”

“I know,” Cai Qinyue replied. The look on her face was not very pretty as she said this. “But I don’t want to do so. Furthermore, I don’t get why your father is so focused on some favor from so many years ago. He keeps insisting on using our money to return the so-called favor.”

“Ahh, but my father is like that. Just accommodate him,” Wen Ruo replied.

“Okay, okay. I will apologize. However, I’m determined not to let your father give the Jian family [Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers.]”
