Chapter 431: Chapter 429: Third Sister-in-law Ruanruan 5_1

Just when Mrs. Xia was about to agree, a voice as small as a mosquito’s came from Ruan Ruanruan...

"Actually, I, I can accept it."

She could accept getting married right away.

"Ah?" Upon hearing this, the third brother couldn’t help but be stunned, and then looked at her in shock, frantically asking with joy, "Ruanruan, do you mean, you want to marry me right now?"

"I... yes!" Ruan Ruanruan, though shy, nodded vigorously, clearly serious.

She and he had in fact been together for a long time and understood each other’s temperaments very well, so getting married now was completely acceptable.

Moreover, she was a year older than Xia Ningxing, having just turned twenty this year, and could get a marriage certificate.

There was also a feeling, a premonition that if she didn’t marry early, something unexpected might happen later.

The third brother immediately smiled like a 200-pound fat man.

Xia Ningxing and the others also showed their smiles; the family was about to add a new member, how could they not be happy?

Mrs. Xia took Ruan Ruanruan’s hand, repeatedly saying, "Good girl, good girl, since it’s like this, then our Xia family will invite your parents to a meal at the restaurant tomorrow, and then discuss your wedding."

"It’s all up to Mrs. Xia," Ruan Ruanruan said politely, her face flushed.

In the end, Ruan Ruanruan and the third brother’s wedding was set for a month later.

It seemed like a sure thing, but who would have expected...

Ruan Ruanruan’s sister, Ruan Bailian, actually came back!

It turned out that after she eloped with her boyfriend, the Ruan family’s parents froze her bank cards. With no money, the couple’s conflicts immediately surfaced, and she realized her boyfriend was no good: he either hit her or yelled at her.

She couldn’t bear it and took the chance to escape back when her man wasn’t paying attention.

There Ruan Bailian was, clothes in tatters, face weather-beaten, throwing herself at Mr. and Mrs. Ruan’s feet, crying a mess:

"Dad, Mom, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn’t have eloped with someone."

"Please forgive me!"

She cried and screamed until her voice was hoarse.

Seeing their child crying like that, Mr. and Mrs. Ruan were furious, but in the end, they forgave her.

"Get up, get up quickly, the floor is cold," Mrs. Ruan, who always doted on her eldest daughter, quickly helped her up from the ground.

Ruan Bailian sat on the sofa, pulled Ruan Ruanruan’s hand, and cried with red-rimmed eyes:

"Ruanruan, I’m sorry to you too. If it weren’t for the thing I did, you wouldn’t have to trouble yourself to go on a blind date for me. I heard you’ve found someone you like. Now that I am back, you can be with the person you like. The marriage agreement you have with the Xia family, let me handle it."

Ruan Ruanruan, however, shook her head: "Sister, I can’t agree to this."

"Why?" Ruan Bailian clearly didn’t expect her to say that, feeling both astonished and annoyed at the bottom of her heart.

Shouldn’t she return what she took? Did she really want to keep it forever?

Ruan Ruanruan blinked her innocent eyes and said, "Because the person I like is Xia Changsan, with whom I went on the blind date!"

If it were someone else, she would definitely let go of the marriage, but Xia Changsan was different!

Ruan Bailian had not expected this twist at all; the smile on her face froze instantly.

Then a surge of nameless jealousy bubbled up inside her.

How could such a fool marry into the Xia family!

Does she deserve it!

She will find a way to snatch this marriage back!

Mr. Ruan seemed to have seen through her thoughts and immediately spoke up, "Stop thinking about marrying into the Xia family. It’s your sister’s turn now, and from now on, you need to stay at home obediently. When the time comes, I will arrange for you to have a blind date with Mr. Li’s son."

Ruan Bailian had heard of this man before, a playboy who changed women faster than clothes.

And...

Not only was he ugly and short, but he was also divorced!

"Dad, have you lost your mind, actually wanting me to marry that kind of man!" Ruan Bailian’s fingers couldn’t help but clench.

Mr. Ruan laughed in anger, stood up abruptly, and pointed at her, "Do you think you’re still a pure maiden, what right do you have to be picky here?"

"You look down on others, but others may not necessarily fancy you!"

Mrs. Ruan’s face darkened, and she quickly protected Ruan Bailian, "Old Ruan! Our daughter just made a small mistake. Do you have to push her into the fire pit like this!"

"How is Mr. Li’s son a fire pit? Let me tell you, Bailian has been spoiled by you since she was little, and that’s why she did something shameless like eloping with someone! She has practically made me lose all my face!" Mr. Ruan, furious, scolded the two and then returned to his study.

Meanwhile, Ruan Ruanruan had already snuck off to her room.

She had a script to write and no time to waste listening to their quarrel!

Now only Ruan Bailian and Mrs. Ruan were left in the living room.

"Mom! I don’t want to have a blind date with Mr. Li’s son!" Ruan Bailian, as if gravely insulted, threw herself into Mrs. Ruan’s arms and began to sob.

"Don’t worry, Mom will never let your dad marry you off to that kind of man." Mrs. Ruan immediately consoled her, patting her back, and could not help but sigh, "You silly child, you had the rich Xia family but chose to elope with a poor boy. Now see what happened, the marriage is your sister’s."

Throughout the conversation, her tone was filled with a sense of devaluation for her.

Although both daughters were her own, the heart tends to favor one; she preferred the sweet-talking eldest who knew how to please, and didn’t have much feeling for the naïve and silly Ruan Ruanruan.

"So what if it’s hers, I’ll just snatch it back! After all, this marriage should have been mine!" Ruan Bailian didn’t take the matter seriously at all. In her eyes, Ruan Ruanruan was a fool, and taking something from her was an effortless task.

"Mom, I plan to..."

Ruan Bailian knew that Mrs. Ruan didn’t take Ruan Ruanruan seriously, so she didn’t mind directly sharing her plot to harm Ruan Ruanruan with her.

Originally, since Ruan Ruanruan was her biological sister, she didn’t want to harm her. However, she was foolishly clinging to her marriage, which rightfully belonged to her, so she could not be blamed for being ruthless!

Mrs. Ruan, upon hearing her plan, not only did not stop her but also mused, "Bailian, you must be careful with this matter. That wretched girl Ruanruan has been with that vixen Xia Ningxing for so long, she’s not so easy to fool anymore."

"Heh, as if she could outplay me?"

Ruan Bailian scoffed with disdain.

Little did Ruan Ruanruan know that her own sister was plotting against her. After chatting on the phone with Changsan, she headed to the company.

"Boss Xia!"

Ruan Ruanruan knocked on the door and entered the office.

Xia Ningxing was reviewing a script, a new drama forwarded by Lu Fan, set in the Qing Dynasty, with shooting to begin in a month.

Seeing her, Xia Ningxing immediately put down the script and waved her over, "Sister-in-law, take a seat."
