章節 103: Use Me as You Please (3)
編輯: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After Ruan Zeyan left, Ling Tianya couldn't fall back to sleep, so she stayed up until dawn. All night long, her mind went to a lot of places and it kept taking her back to six years ago when she and Ran Zeyan first met.
The next morning, Ling Tianya checked herself out of the hospital early, so she could go back to editing the scripts. When she got to the studio, the director told her the shooting was extended by two months, which meant she had more time with the scripts and didn't have to work so hard.
It was not a small fair to extend the shooting of a TV show. It meant that the investor, Ruan Zeyan, had to invest more money to cover the operation costs. Looking at the return on investment, it had become impossible for the show to be profitable.
Meanwhile, it was breakfast time for the Ruan Family. A spread of dishes was found on the retro-luxury cedarwood dining table. There was a rule in the Ruan Family: no matter how busy everyone was, breakfast was the time to be together. Ruan Zeyan had to show up on time for breakfast even if he didn't sleep at all that night.
The Madam Ruan looked at Ruan Zeyan and asked concernedly, "Grandson, did you not sleep well?"
Ruan Zeyan took a sip of the coffee and smiled softly, "I'm fine."
"You are fine? Please don't be like your father. He was always so busy and never took care of himself when he was young. Now at his age, all kinds of ailment are finding their way to him!" She glared at Ruan Qishan from the side of her eye.
Ruan Qishan was not going to contradict his mother, but his face didn't look happy. After all, his health was not so great those days. He had high blood pressure in addition to a high risk of having a stroke.
"I got it, Grandma." Ruan Zeyan replied and started dining.
Wang Yazhi turned to her son, "If you ask me, Zeyan just needs a woman to take care of him. Why don't we make an announcement of Zeyan's engagement at the company annual reception?"
Everyone in the Ruan Family knew what Ruan Zeyan's engagement meant. For a long time, the only candidate for Ruan Family's future daughter-in-law was Guan Meiyi.
Ruan Qishan nodded in agreement while Madam Ruan made a face in disdain. Then everyone looked over at Ruan Zeyan.
Ruan Zeyan focused on cutting the food on his plate. With his head lowered, no one could see the expression on his face.
"I have no problem." Ruan Zeyan put down the utensils and dabbed his mouth with a napkin. Then he stood up as the servant pulled the chair back and brought his coat. "Let's make the announcement at the annual reception. I'm going to work now." After he said that, Ruan Zeyan left the dining room, looking detached.
Nobody was expecting a concession from Ruan Zeyan. Wang Yazhi couldn't hold back her excitement and Ruan Qishan was smiling too.
"Zeyan finally thought this through! That's fantastic!" Wang Yazhi had a giant grin on her face. She had been waiting for that day for a long time. She knew her son had not been happy ever since what happened six years prior. Thank god he finally started to open up to other people!
Of course, Guan Meiyi was on the top of her list for daughter-in-law. Wang Yazhi tapped the hand of Guan Qishan, "We have to tell the Guans so they can prepare for it, Especially Meiyi!"
"Good, let's ask the Guans out for lunch today." Said Guan Qishan blissfully.
The Madam Ruan threw her fork and knife on the plate and left the table bitterly.
Ruan Qishan and Wang Yazhi watched the old lady walking away. They were not going to give up on the engagement between Ruan Zeyan and Guan Meiyi just because their mother was against it.
