Hearing the words of those three people, Madame Ruan’s eyes flashed with ridicule.

Qishan finally set his eyes on Ruan Guofu. “Guofu, you are Lijia’s father. What do you say?”

Ruan Guofu’s entire body tensed from being called out, but his face remained normal as he said, “Lijia is my precious daughter. Although she isn’t my biological daughter, she surpa.s.ses a biological daughter. Of course I would wish for her to marry an unrivaled man, to be officially wed and the legal wife.”

Ruan Qishan looked at Ruan Guofu, expressionless, as if dissecting his words.

Ruan Guofu looked at Ruan Qishan’s expression and continued, “However, since your household situation is like this, brother, for the sake of bearing an heir for the Ruan family, no matter how much I can’t bear for Lijia to be nameless and without status, with one word from you, I will resign myself to part with my treasure. After all, Lijia is also a part of the Ruan family, so it is her duty to contribute to the Ruan family.”

Ruan Guofu’s words were full of pa.s.sion. He expressed his love for Lijia as well as his unwillingness to let her become someone’s small wife, yet, at the same time, he also expressed that his devotion to the Ruan family’s future.

Ruan Qishan looked at Ruan Lijia. “Lijia, what do you think? If you don’t agree, then uncle won’t force you.”

Seeing that Ruan Qishan was asking her, Ruan Lijia quickly raised her head and urgently said, “I am willing!” Noticing that her emotions were too forceful, Ruan Lijia relaxed her body and shyly said, “I have liked Ruan Zeyan ever since I was young. However, because of my status, I have always regarded him as my cousin and therefore I suppressed my crush on him.”

Ruan Qishan raised his eyebrows. He hadn’t thought that Ruan Lijia had liked his son since she was young. “Think about it carefully. Ruan Zeyan already has a wife so even if you are to come into the mansion, you would be a woman without a name nor status. Even if you give birth in the future, you will still be sent away. Then, you won’t even be able to be Ruan Lijia anymore. Do you understand?”

Ruan Qishan’s words were very clear. If Ruan Lijia wanted to be Ruan Zeyan’s woman, then she must negate her adoption by Ruan Guofu and no longer have the last name of Ruan.

Ruan Lijia lowered her head and pondered for a while before raising her head and confidently saying, “As long as it can help Ruan Zeyan, then I am willing to do anything!”

Ruan Qishan nodded. Just as the three uncles stated, Ruan Lijia was definitely a much more suitable candidate compared to the women outside. She grew up in the Ruan Family, so she was familiar with the people and the things in the Ruan Family. Also, she has always liked Ruan Zeyan, and her looks were impeccable, so her future child definitely won’t be lacking in genes.

Seeing that Ruan Qishan had been moved, the four grandfathers looked towards the silent Madame Ruan. “Sister-in-law, what do you think?”

Everyone looked at Madame Ruan, but she only laughed. “You guys have already decided, so what’s the point of asking me? You guys selected Ruan Lijia prior to coming here and now you have come to ask for my opinion. If I say no, would you guys just let it go?”

Madame Ruan’s words immediately rendered fourth Grandfather speechless. Fifth Grandfather and seventh Grandfather were both embarra.s.sed.

Seeing Madame Ruan’s att.i.tude, Ruan Lijia became anxious. This great-grandmother had always been indifferent towards her and wasn’t as easy to deal with as aunt w.a.n.g Yazhi.

“Great grandmother… I really want to help Brother Zeyan… You watched me grow up, so aren’t you clear as to what type of person I am?” Ruan Lijia had on an expression full of grievance.

Just as Madame Ruan opened her mouth to speak, the door to the living room was pushed open and Ling Tianya walked in wearing a red gown and her hair delicately styled in an updo, looking enchanting.

She looked at Ruan Lijia, her eyes full of ridicule. “What kind of person is Ms. Lijia? I really don’t know, so why don’t you enlighten me?”
