Translator: 549690339
Five days later, Ruan Tianling finally agreed to bring her back to their ancestral home.
The ghost-like sports car stopped at the entrance of the old mansion.
As the car door automatically opened, Jian Yufei stepped out. Just as she was standing, Ruan Tianling had already walked around the front of the car to her side, his arm casually draped over her shoulder.
“Our aunt just returned from Australia yesterday,” he said softly to her as they walked into the living room. “Initially, she intended to arrive before our grandfather’s birthday, but she fell ill before departure, so her arrival was delayed by nearly two months. She came back alone. You haven’t met her yet, I’ll introduce you to her in a moment.”
No wonder he waited until today to bring her back home, so a senior family member had returned.
The two of them entered the living room, the lively atmosphere inside was quite noticeable.
An elderly woman, elegant and white-haired, sat on the sofa, chatting and laughing with the grandfather seated on a single couch next to her.
Ruan Tianling’s mother, Li Yulan, attended to the aunt, her face always adorned with a proper smile. Ruan Mingtao was also home. Now that she and Ruan Tianling had returned, everyone was present.
“Aunt,” Ruan Tianling, arm around Jian Yufei, walked forward, greeting his elder affectionately.
Not long after Jian Yufei married into the Ruan family, she heard that grandfather had a sister who had emigrated to Australia. The aunt’s family lived in A City all along, and she had only emigrated quite recently.
Thus, the aunt’s family had a good relationship with the Ruan family.
“Tianling is back.” Ruan Anjia squinted and laughed, looking at them. When her gaze fell on Jian Yufei, her eyes were filled with clear affection.
“This is Yufei?” The aunt asked with a smile.
“Hello, Aunt.” Jian Yufei always respected kind elders, her sincere smile lighting up her elegant, beautiful face with warmth.
“Come, let Aunt have a good look at you.” The elderly woman affectionately beckoned her over. Jian Yufei walked over and sat down next to her.
Ruan Anjia held her hands, her still bright eyes examining Jian Yufei’s face carefully.
Jian Yufei, under her scrutiny, felt embarrassed and shyly lowered her head.
Aunt laughed and said to her older brother, Ruan Anguo, “She’s a good girl. She and Tianling are a good match.”
Jian Yufei couldn’t help but think…
It seemed that grandfather and aunt, as siblings, really thought alike…
They believed that she and Ruan Tianling were a wonderful match, but the two of them were utterly unsuitable for each other.
Grandfather nodded, laughing, seemingly proud of his insight and choice.
“I was unable to return for your wedding with Tianling due to some matters. While we haven’t met before, I quite like you as my grandniece-in-law. Take this as my gift to you on our meeting.”
Ruan Anjia slipped the jade bracelet from her wrist and carefully placed it on hers. The bracelet, with its aura of opulence nurtured by the passage of time, was hauntingly green and flawless. It looked extremely valuable at first glance.
Jian Yufei hurriedly shook her head, declining, “Aunt, it’s too valuable. I can’t accept it.”
“Take it, it’s not a big deal, consider it a trinket to keep.” Aunt pressed her hand reassuringly, not giving her any chance to refuse.
Mother Ruan glanced at the bracelet, thinking to herself that Jian Yufei didn’t recognize its worth. This bracelet was a beloved piece of Empress Dowager Cixi and it was not even given to her when she got married.
It seemed both elders favored Jian Yufei and were very fond of her.
“Thank you, Aunt.”
