Chapter 648: Love Rival Appears (1)

Eventually, the rest of the Jian family learned that Jian Yiling planned to get engaged to Zhai Yunsheng.

This news brought a large shock to the Jian family.

If it weren’t for the fact that Master Zhai visited them and Jian Yiling herself admitting to it, the Jian family would have never believed in this matter.

And thus, the Jian family temporarily borrowed the Wen family’s study room to discuss this matter.

In addition to Grandpa Jian and Grandma Jian, the people who were present were Jian Shuxing, Wen Nuan, Jian Yuncheng, and Jian Yunnao.

“No! Definitely not! My daughter is only eighteen years old! She can’t get engaged right now!” Jian Shuxing cried out.

“Well, your mother and I have already agreed to it,” Grandpa Jian responded.

“But why? Yiling is only eighteen years old. She’s still so young… I guess she can date right now but to be engaged…”

The most Jian Shuxing was willing to accept was his daughter dating someone.

“Well, this is something that Yiling herself agreed to,” Grandma Jian replied. “I will always support Yiling’s decisions. I just want her to be happy. I don’t want to listen to what you guys say.”

“Mother…” Jian Shuxing said. His tone was bitter and helpless. He did not know how to describe his feelings at this moment.

Grandma Jian sighed again: “Shuxing, Yiling is different from other children. You guys broke her wings when she needed you the most. Therefore, you can’t blame her for having her own thoughts and ideas. Furthermore, in the past, Master Sheng helped Yiling. Therefore, in her heart, perhaps Master Sheng is more qualified to protect her. And thus, we are not qualified to stop her from making her own choices.”

Grandma Jian’s words were like a steel nail that was hammered into Wen Nuan and Jian Shuxing’s hearts.

After all, the wound from three years ago was not completely healed.

Then, Grandpa Jian added: “Furthermore, it’s the Zhai family. If the Zhai family really wants Yiling, how do we even stop them?”

Whether or not the Jian family wanted to admit this, this was still the truth.

And thus, Grandpa Jian and Grandma Jian used two different reasons to block the voices from the rest of the Jian family.

The reality was cruel.

At this moment, Jian Yunnao’s heart was seized up with pain.

He knew that his sister was going to be even further away from him now.

After all, he was the one who started it all.

Jian Yuncheng did not add anything to the conversation either. It wasn’t because he didn’t want to object. Rather, it was because he had no right to object.

The next morning, Jian Yichen’s apartment welcomed a guest —— Luo Xun.

Jian Yichen told Jian Yiling smilingly: “Yiling, his name is Luo Xun! He’s the young and talented man that I wanted to introduce to you!”

Although three years had passed, Luo Xun’s features did not change by much. His features were still young and attractive.

“Hello, Yiling. Nice to meet you again,” Luo Xun smiled. His smile revealed a row of pearly white teeth.

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling greeted. She was quite happy to see Luo Xun’s bright smile.

Jian Yiling had looked into Luo Xun’s situation for the past three years.

“Do you still remember me?”

“I remember you,” Jian Yiling replied. She would not forget him.

“You also knitted me a hat! I’m taking good care of the hat. In fact, from time to time, I still wear the hat.”

“That’s good.”

Jian Yiling did not speak much. On the other hand, Luo Xun liked to talk a lot. As a result, their conversations were not incredibly boring.

Seeing that Jian Yiling and Luo Xun were having a good conversation, Jian Yichen was quite happy.

A while ago, Jian Yichen was not in a rush to introduce Luo Xun to Jian Yiling. However, after hearing about the news of Jian Yiling getting engaged to Zhai Yunsheng, he immediately dragged Luo Xun over to his house. Then, he arranged for Luo Xun to meet with Jian Yiling.
