Grandpa Ran was sitting uneasily at home waiting for his beloved granddaughter to come back. When he heard the servant outside saying that a car was coming, he immediately sat upright. Of course, during this period, he did not forget to call everyone back.
The old man's notice was very timely. Before Tang Qing came back, Ran's father and Ran's mother had already returned. Even the original owner's three brothers, because one of them was abroad, the remaining two arrived before Tang Qing.
Tang Qing saw this formation as soon as he came back, and his legs felt a little weak at that moment.
Shi Mo, on the other hand, helped the person with quick eyes and hands. He was in a good mood. Compared with Tang Qing, he looked like a member of the Ran family, with a calm demeanor, not the slightest bit nervous, and every move he made was very leisurely.
At this time, William, an outsider, was left aside except for the initial introduction, and no one cared about him. In the end, Zhou Tong came back and finally found someone to chat with.
Zhou Tong's university is still in this city, but because of the distance, she hurriedly rushed to catch you when Grandpa Ran called, but she was still a little slow. Fortunately, the family meeting was not over yet.
Although she is now the second young lady of the Ran family, she has a clear family background in her heart. Her surname is still Zhou. She just listens to the Ran family's affairs, and it is not her turn to interrupt in other matters.
Shi Mo greeted everyone present one by one, then held Tang Qing's hand and sat down elegantly. He crossed his legs and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, feeling very good.
Grandpa Ran next to him was going crazy. His sweet granddaughter didn't even dare to raise her head from beginning to end. This was not voluntary, it was clearly forced!
"Xiaoran, sit down here with grandpa."
As soon as the words came out, Tang Qing wanted to stand up, but Shi Mo's hands were clenched tightly, and she couldn't struggle at all.
Shi Mo leaned on the sofa, playing with Tang Qing's slender hands as white as onions, whether intentionally or not, and said casually: "Grandpa, my vacation is limited, so I won't talk nonsense to everyone here. The engagement party with Ran Ran will be completed within these ten days."
Although he spoke slowly, every word contained a tone that did not allow others to refuse.
However, when the twenty-year-old young man glanced at him, he actually had a terrifying aura that was not appropriate for his age.
Ran Ran's two older brothers, who were looking at him, had puffed out their chests and looked like they were going to drive him away, but now they were completely castrated. Even Ran's father looked like a shrunken turtle, not daring to say anything at all. , as for the rest, although they were not afraid, they did not speak, and just looked at Grandpa Ran.
Grandpa Ran glared at Shi Mo angrily and laughed angrily at the end, "Boy of the Shi family, although my Ran family is not as good as your Shi family, it is not a small family. You can give orders! I don't care about this matter." agree!"
Shi Mo twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Grandpa, I hope there will be support from the Ran family beside Ran Ran at the engagement party. It will be very difficult for us if you are like this." As he said that, he looked at Tang Qing. Although his face was smiling, he could see that People are inexplicably afraid.
Tang Qing is very timid, but she will never be led by others in important matters. However, she has learned this before. If she refuses, the blackening value will slowly increase, and the task will not be completed. If the blackening value is increased, she will be finished. Therefore, she can only bite the bullet and speak softly.
"Grandpa, look, although this engagement party is a bit rushed, don't worry, the wedding day will never be rushed, and I will definitely report it to you."
The more Grandpa Ran heard, the more distressed he became. His granddaughter knew best how someone who had been so willful since she was a child could stand the rules of the big family. How sad she would be if she was criticized.
"no!"
Grandpa Ran refused again and again, and the smile on Shi Mo's lips faded. He suddenly stood up, acting very casually, "Grandpa, I respect you as Ran Ran's grandfather, but if you don't want to attend, As for the engagement banquet, we juniors shouldn’t embarrass you, but don’t worry, the engagement banquet will be held as scheduled.”
Grandpa Ran's face turned pale with anger at these words. Even though it sounds nice on the surface, the actual meaning is: I want to get engaged to your granddaughter. It doesn't matter whether you disagree or agree. It doesn't matter. He calls the shots.
"Okay! Very good! Boy from the Shi family, you are very good!"
Tang Qing was shocked when he heard these three good words from Grandpa Ran. He immediately let go of Shi Mo's hand and ran over, "Grandpa, don't be angry."
She was really panicked. Although she was an outsider in this world, her grandfather really treated her well. She was not the kind of person who repaid kindness with hatred, so even the male protagonist would never allow him to be angry with him.
"Shi Mo! Apologize!"
Shi Mo was slightly startled. Even if his deskmate was pushed to the extreme, he would never show such an expression. He paused, and just when everyone thought a storm was about to happen, he lowered his head.
He sighed and looked at Grandpa Ran helplessly, his tone not as perfunctory as before.
"Grandpa, you are Ran Ran's grandfather, and you are also my grandfather. You should know better than anyone else what's going on between Ran Ran and me..." At the end of the sentence, he said seriously: "Ran Ran, I will never let go."
Tang Qing knew that it was not easy for him to lower his head and say this. Although Grandpa Ran was good for her, she had to consider the task.
"Grandpa, let's talk alone." She changed her previous fake smile and spoke sincerely this time.
Shi Mo subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then he thought about it. His deskmate shouldn't be that stupid. If he made any trouble at this stall, he finally agreed.
Tang Qing and Grandpa Ran went to the study room on the second floor. No one knew what they talked about. Anyway, when they came down, Grandpa Ran finally changed his mind.
Of course, even though he no longer insisted, he still didn't have a good attitude towards Grandpa Shi Moran.
"The engagement party is fine, but if you dare to do anything bad to my little girl, any engagement party, even if it's a wedding, will not count!"
Grandpa Ran's words were full of momentum, but Shi Mo breathed a sigh of relief. If possible, he certainly hoped that everyone would bless them.
"Grandpa, don't worry, that day won't happen."
Although Grandpa Ran was still a little unwilling to give in, his good granddaughter started speaking. He could only ask: "When are you going to book the engagement party?"
"You haven't made an order yet, why don't you let grandpa decide this matter?"
Grandpa Ran snorted coldly, saying that it was for him to decide, but there were only ten days in total, so there was no need to decide anything!
"Old man, I'm old. You can do this by yourself. Time is running out, so you can go back."
When everyone heard what Grandpa Ran said, they couldn't help but look at the rising sun outside, and looked at each other in confusion.
Shi Mo didn't care. Instead, he held Tang Qing's hand and said goodbye with a smile, "In that case, Ran Ran and I will leave first. We have to go back to Shi's house."
"Go quickly, go quickly."
Grandpa Ran said angrily, but before leaving, Tang Qing could not ignore William. Seeing that he seemed to have a good chat with Zhou Tong, he said: "Zhou Tong, please help me entertain William."
Zhou Tong naturally had no objection and replied, "Don't worry."
