Chapter 635: Master Zhai Visits His Future-in-Laws (3)

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied.

She was not making things difficult for herself.

She knew what she was doing.

“Well, that’s good then. It’s okay then. I know what to do now.”

Grandma Jian decided to compromise.

She did not want to let Jian Yiling go.

However, she knew that there was no point in stopping certain things from happening.

If her granddaughter genuinely liked Zhai Yunsheng, there was no point in forcing them to separate. Other than making both parties unhappy, it would achieve nothing else.

Furthermore, it was only an engagement. Even if they got married, they could still get a divorce. Her darling still had the opportunity to back out of the engagement.

After Grandma Jian ended the call, she whispered the matter to Grandpa Jian.

“Really?” Grandpa Jian exclaimed with surprise. He was still unable to accept this.

He knew that his granddaughter had a good relationship with Zhai Yunsheng. However, their relationship did not seem to be that good.

When did that brat steal their precious girl away from them?

As he thought about this, Grandpa Jian held back his frustration. The expression on his face became unhappy as well.

As Master Zhai looked at Grandma Jian and Grandpa Jian, he could guess that they were not happy with the news.

And thus, Master Zhai began to have a guilty conscience.

After all, he was the one who abducted their granddaughter… He basically guilt-tripped their granddaughter into becoming his grandson’s private doctor. Furthermore, he made them live under the same roof as well.

Master Zhai never really did such things in his life. In this case, he had to admit that the way he handled these matters was quite… Dishonest.

“Then… Grandpa Jian…”

“Let us take a moment to think about this matter. There’s no hurry.”

Grandpa Jian deliberately stopped Master Zhai from continuing.

According to Grandma Jian, since their grandchildren both agreed to the matter, they should also agree.

Furthermore, the Jian family never interfered with their children’s freedom of marriage.

On top of this, there was still room to back out of an engagement. Being engaged was merely a way of symbolizing their darling’s value and importance. Their grandchildren’s relationship would also be more justifiable. Therefore, there was nothing wrong with it.

However, he was not going to agree immediately. First of all, he wanted to test the sincerity of the Zhai family. He also wanted to examine the moral quality and character of the individuals in the Zhai family.

Secondly, he did not want to make it seem like he was overly eager to send their granddaughter into the Zhai family.

It did not matter that the Zhai family was well known and powerful. When it came to marriage, they had to be on equal terms. Their darling was not getting engaged to the Zhai family because she wanted connections.

Master Zhai laughed again before he said: “Do you happen to have any concerns? Please tell me if you do. If my brat has done something wrong, I will get him to change it.”

“There’s nothing wrong with your grandson. However, we should not rush these matters. It should be arranged carefully. Furthermore, we should also talk to our grandchildren again,” Grandpa Jian replied. He held his stance and put up a front.

Just now, he got up to greet him as Master Zhai was the head of the Zhai family.

However, he was now putting up a front because he was Jian Yiling’s grandpa.

“Okay okay. You can talk about it then,” Master Zhai replied. He did not have any objection to that. As long as the Jian family agreed, everything else did not matter.

As Wen Cheng and Cai Qinyue watched from the side, they each had their own thoughts on the situation.

Wen Cheng felt that this old gentleman was obviously trying to win over the favor of the Jian family.

For some reason, he did not want his niece to marry into such a family.

He was worried that the old gentleman was merely interested in the Jian family’s businesses. If that was the case, the old gentleman’s grandson would not be interested in his niece.

On the other hand, Cai Qinyue was snickering in her heart.

This old man craved this marriage way too much. It was as though his grandson was attempting to gain connections with the Jian family through this marriage.

In fact, this old man was sort of similar to a pug.

Was the Jian family actually considering becoming an in-law with this family?
