About ten minutes later, Ruan Jun returned, and Hong Ping and Mrs. Hong also came back. Mrs. Hongâs complexion returned to normal, and both Hong Ping and Ruan Jun seemed relieved.
After this dinner ended, on the way back, Jiaojiao curiously asked Shu Jiao, "Mom, what did you say to Brother Jun in the private room?"
Shu Jiao glanced at her and explained, "Not much, just asked Brother Jun to go out and have a few words with Mrs. Hong and give her a guarantee."
Mrs. Hong suddenly showed a face during the dinner, although this move was somewhat untimely, Shu Jiao could understand her to some extent.
From Mrs. Hongâs perspective, Ruan Junâs current conditions are indeed somewhat unsatisfactory.
Not to mention the urban or rural household registration, just mentioning Ruan Jiandangâs second marriage can deter many families. Itâs not about prejudice, but a historically lingering concept.
Many people believe that if the parents of the previous generation handled their relationships poorly and divorced, it would affect the next generation.
Besides, Ruan Jun is one of three brothers. Currently, Ruan Chi and Ruan Wei are not married yet, which is fine, but after marriage, sister-in-law relationships are really hard to handle.
Moreover, the most important thing is, Ruan Junâs career is just starting. He has no money to buy a house and needs to live with his parents and brothers, which makes the Hong family couple even more dissatisfied.
Of course, Ruan Jun is capable, but his career is still in the early stages, so having nothing is very normal. But he needs to give his father-in-law and mother-in-law a guarantee, a promise that reassures them to marry their daughter to him.
Shu Jiao just mentioned this to him, giving advice from experience.
However, Jiaojiao doesnât have this issue. She knows Duan Xiâs current assets, so she doesnât need to worry about such matters.
Upon hearing this, Jiaojiao couldnât help but laugh and rubbed her cheek against her motherâs arm, full of admiration, "Mom, youâre really amazing."
Shu Jiao lovingly patted her little head.
Having resolved the Hong familyâs concerns, Ruan Jun and Hong Pingâs wedding proceeded as planned.
Ruan Chi and Ruan Hao returned the night before the wedding.
Yang Xiaona came back with them as well.
Jiaojiao knows her eldest brotherâs charm, but she didnât expect her eldest brother to be charming to this extent. On the night Ruan Hao came back, Hong Ling came to the Ruan familyâs villa to play. When she saw Ruan Hao for the first time, she was dumbfounded, with that infatuated look almost completely unhidden.
Hong Ling is Hong Pingâs younger sister, three years younger than Hong Ping, and sheâs twenty this year, seems to be in college. Her personality is livelier than Hong Pingâs. During Yuansuâs time here, she mostly hangs out with Jiaojiao and the others.
Jiaojiao actually doesnât really like her. Although sheâs lively, she always gives her an indescribable feeling. Itâs not extremely unpleasant, just that whatever she does seems a bit over the top. Often when others are speaking or acting, sheâll abruptly interrupt, drawing everyoneâs attention to herself before sheâs satisfied.
Still, even though she doesnât like her, Jiaojiao, to fulfill her obligations as a host and for Ruan Junâs sake, still tries to include her whenever they go out to play.
But she didnât expect Hong Ling to be this self-centered.
According to the customs in Yuansu, usually two sisters wouldnât marry two brothers.
After seeing Ruan Hao, she was so straightforward, directly telling her parents she had her eyes on Ruan Hao before the wedding between Ruan Jun and Hong Ping even took place.
