“Haha, Brother Jiang, what do you mean by that? Yilin is obviously a filial girl. You’re very lucky to have children and grandchildren around you.” Old Master Rong replied politely.
Old Master Jiang sighed and shook his head. “Brother Rong, how am I lucky? This grandson and granddaughter are already so big, but none of them have a family… Sigh, let’s not talk about it.”
Unexpectedly, the cold-faced Old Madam Rong heard this and joined in the fun amiably.
“What do you mean by that? Chengxi is handsome, Yilin is young and beautiful like a flower, and the Jiang family is rich and threatening. I’m afraid the number of people who want to enter your family is high. As their elders, let’s not worry about them.”
“How can I not be worried?” Old Master Jiang spread his hands. “If they’re willing to listen to me and pick from these young ladies in the queue, I won’t be worried. But they all have many opinions… Our Yilin, ahem…”
Old Master Rong looked embarrassed.
He knew how his eldest grandson and Jiang Yilin were related in the past.
He thought that the Rong and Jiang families were determined to be in-laws, but who expected that the two of them would actually break up three years ago.
This was a matter between young people. The two of them didn’t raise the conflict to the family level back then, so every time Old Master Rong and Old Master Jiang met, they would tacitly avoid this topic.
But today, it was obvious that Old Master Jiang had mentioned it deliberately.
Seeing that Old Master Rong didn’t answer, Old Master Jiang said bluntly.
“Brother Rong, today is also a good day for your birthday banquet, so I’ll make my intentions clear. I’m here firstly to congratulate you and secondly, for our Yilin. Our Yilin and your Linyi have been childhood sweethearts and are in love. Now that the man is older, the woman should marry him. I think our two families should choose a good day and settle the matter. The Rong and Jiang families joining forces through marriage is definitely a good thing.”
Jiang Yilin’s eyes lit up and she looked at Rong Linyi.
Unexpectedly, Rong Linyi was holding Su Yanyun’s hand and burying his head in her jade-like fingers. He straightened them one by one as if he was playing with something precious or beloved, and turned a deaf ear to everything around him.
Meanwhile, Madam Rong and Rong Xuelong smiled coldly and rolled their eyes at her disdainfully.
Jiang Yilin was enraged and had to pretend to be gentle and elegant.
But since Old Master Jiang was so straightforward, it was not easy for Old Master Rong to deal with him.
He could only wave his hand apologetically. “Brother Jiang, you have to mention this to me half a year in advance, then I can flatter you without a second thought. But now, our Linyi has already married. In half a year, their children will be born. Yilin and him are not fated.”
“When was this?” Old Master Jiang was clearly shocked and finally looked at Su Yanyun, who was sitting with her back against Rong Linyi.
There were many people in the small banquet hall, so he didn’t notice it just now.
He thought that Su Yanyun was from one of the Rong family’s side branches, but he realized that she and Rong Linyi were intimate.
Jiang Chengxi immediately leaned over and whispered something in his grandfather’s ear.
Old Master Jiang’s expression darkened.
“Haha, Brother Rong, I’m afraid you were deceived.”
“Haha, Brother Jiang, what do you mean by that? Yilin is obviously a filial girl. You’re very lucky to have children and grandchildren around you.” Old Master Rong replied politely.
