CHAPTER 184: CHAPTER 184: HOW ABOUT BECOMING MY GRANDDAUGHTER-IN-LAW?

If I say I don’t have a partner, would Beichen Rui continue to make me his girlfriend?

After a few seconds of silence, she managed a smile and said, "I don’t plan on dating anyone right now."

Beichen Rui’s eyes turned cold.

This woman, claiming not to intend to date, did she treat all the things said before like they were nothing?

Beichen Jue, however, smiled and said, "Girl, since you don’t have a partner, how about becoming my granddaughter-in-law?"

Ye Xinluo: "...!!!"

Jiang Zhengguo: "!!!!!"

What?

Mr. Bei Chen actually asked me in public to be his granddaughter-in-law?

If I refuse, would I get killed!!!

Can’t imagine how many people would kill me with their eyes if I refused.

Just joking, it must be a joke. This atmosphere changed way too quickly, hard to accept!!

Jiang Zhengguo was stunned, completely not expecting him to say something like that to a stranger he just met less than ten minutes ago.

Fuming inside, he thought that his daughter had worked hard for so many years and was about to succeed. He couldn’t let some young girl snatch it away.

"Old Master, don’t you think this is a bit rash?" He spoke probing, hoping Beichen Jue would change his mind.

"What’s so rash about it?" Beichen Jue snorted discontentedly, feeling a bit displeased with Jiang Shihan because of recent events.

Turning to Ye Xinluo, he said, "Girl, what do you think?"

Not great...

Ye Xinluo thought grumpily to herself.

Everyone’s eyes were on her, making her feel extremely uneasy. Suddenly, she saw someone entering from the doorway and brightened up, "Um, Grandpa Bei Chen, a friend of mine has arrived. Can I go over and say hi?"

Knowing she was avoiding the issue, perhaps unable to accept it all at once, Beichen Jue didn’t press her, "Go ahead, when there’s time, have Arui bring you home for dinner."

Ye Xinluo responded and then hurriedly ran in one direction, her steps rushed as if afraid someone was chasing her.

Watching her run off in a hurry, Beichen Rui frowned slightly, "Grandpa, don’t scare her."

The Old Master looked away, "How long have you known her?"

"Not long."

Four years ago, he knew of Ye Xinluo, but there was no interaction back then, so it didn’t count as knowing.

...

Lan Shan entered the banquet hall and found a place to sit down, waving at Ye Xinluo as she approached.

Sitting beside her, she picked up the juice from the table and took a few sips.

Seeing her demeanor, Lan Shan couldn’t help but tease, "What are you running from? Is someone chasing you?"

"Yeah."

Ye Xinluo nodded. It was practically a demon, wasn’t it? Calming herself, she threw everything Beichen Jue said just now out of her mind, just assuming he was joking with her.

Feeling much more at ease, "Why are you sitting here all alone? Where’s your aunt?"

Lan Shan glanced in a direction, "Chatting with them. These banquets are so boring, my mom insisted on dragging me along."

Ye Xinluo chuckled, "You should be happy, I don’t even have someone to bother about me."

She finished, lowering her head, and thought of some unhappy memories.

Indeed, she so wished someone would care for her, like a mother.

Perhaps this life wouldn’t give her the chance!

Lan Shan turned her head, "Xinluo."

Putting her hand on her shoulder, attempting to comfort her. Lan Shan knew about Ye Xinluo’s experiences, unsure what to say at this moment; she could only choose to silently be with her.
