Han Sen didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Han Sen didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
After returning home, Han Sen contacted his mother. He wanted her to come over and discuss the engagement with the Ji family.
Luo Sulan did not object, and so Han Sen went to pick her up and bring her to the Ji family.
Han Sen thought it would be best for the parents of both parties to meet to discuss the engagement. But when he brought his mother to the Ji family, he didn't expect to meet only Ji Ruozhen and Mrs. Ji. Ji Yanran's uncles, aunts, and uncles were also present.
"Mrs. Han, the Ji family has a lot of rules and regulations. Please don't mind."
Mrs. Ji was very polite, but her tone sounded like she was from a rich family.
"You should be careful when marrying off a daughter. I have a daughter, too. I can understand how you feel." Luo Sulan smiled.
"Please sit, Mrs. Han." Ji Ruozhen looked at Luo Sulan with surprise.
They had investigated the Han family's background, and Luo Sulan's temperament and manner of speech were different from what they expected of a normal housewife.
During the discussion about the engagement, Luo Sulan was elegant and composed. Her answers to the questions of the Ji family were very appropriate. It could even be said that she was outstanding.
Han Sen didn't think it was a big deal. From what he remembered, Luo Sulan had always been a very elegant person.
When Han Sen was young, Luo Sulan was like a goddess to him. She was a woman who was spoiled by everyone. But after his father's accident, his mother was forced to live a different life. That was why she had to change.
Seeing his mother like this made Han Sen feel as if he was a child again.
Han Sen was the younger one, so he didn't have the right to speak. He quietly stood behind his mother and listened to her talk with the Ji family.
Ji Yanran was the same. She stood next to her parents, listening to them talk. Only when the elders asked her a question, would she answer them politely.
Things were going well. Luo Sulan didn't ask for much, so the Ji family had a good impression of her. They thought she was a reasonable and well-mannered woman.
"Mrs. Han, after Han Sen and Yanran get married, I hope they can live in the Ji family. It will make it easier for us to take care of them. What do you think?" Mrs. Ji asked.
Han Sen did not come from a good family, but if Old Man Ji thought he was a great talent, he'd be able to achieve great things if he was accepted into the Ji family. He wouldn't be mistreating Yanran.
That way, Mrs. Ji would be able to see her daughter more often. So, she was very interested in this matter.
Grandpa Ji agreed to let Ji Yanran marry Han Sen, but Han Sen had to join the Ji family.
"I am sorry, Mrs. Ji, but I only have one son. I hope he will be with me when I die."
Luo Sulan coldly said, "And his surname will always be Han. A man should raise his own family. What do you think, Mrs. Ji?"
Mrs. Ji's face changed, and one of Ji Yanran's aunts said, "Mrs. Han, you can't say that. It's not wrong for a man to support a family, but there is a limit to one man's power. And now, Han Sen is the son-in-law of the Ruozhen family. That means he is the son-in-law of the leader. If he is allowed to do something dishonorable, it would be a disgrace to the Ji family."
"Yes, Madam Han. We are willing to help Han Sen. With the power of the Ji family, we will be able to help him achieve great things. That will make you proud," another middle-aged woman said.
Madam Ji said, "Madam Han, Han Sen married my daughter. That means he is half a son to me. The Ji family will do everything in our power to help him achieve greatness. Isn't that what you want as well?"
"I don't expect that much. I just want him to stay by my side and inherit the family business," Luo Sulan said.
"Mrs. Han, you are wrong. How can you not think about your son's future?
Do you know what kind of help he can get if he stays with us?
Aren't you being too selfish? "Madam Ji was already a little angry.
Han Sen couldn't take it anymore. He could take it, but he couldn't let his mother be insulted like that.
Han Sen wanted to move, but Luo Sulan's left hand held him down. Although Luo Sulan did not turn around to look at him, her grip was very tight. She stopped Han Sen from doing what he was about to do.
Ji Yanran pulled her mother's clothes anxiously, trying to stop her from saying anything more.
But Mrs. Ji didn't want to stop. She said, "Mrs. Han, the Ji family is a rich family, and we are the leader of the Alliance. Do you think it is appropriate for us to let our daughter suffer with you?"
"There is nothing inappropriate about it. She is a good girl, and I believe she will do well," Luo Sulan said calmly.
Mrs. Ji was angry. She wanted to say something else, but then she heard an angry voice from behind the screen.
"You are a woman. A man's ambition is to conquer the world. You are ruining his future."
The voice was calm, but it was very serious. When it came out, the other Ji family members went quiet.
"What future can the Ji family give him?" Luo Sulan was still calm. She looked at the screen.
"His name will shake the Alliance, and he will conquer the world." When Old Man Ji said this, it sounded like he thought he was the best.
"If that is the case, then it would be better for him to stay at home and raise his children," Luo Sulan said coldly. She was not shocked by what Old Man Ji had said.
The faces of the Ji family looked strange. What she had said was very unambitious.
"You woman. You don't know what is good for you. I am being nice to your son, and you want him to stay at home and raise his children? What do you think men are?"
Old Man Ji heard this and was very angry. He walked out from behind the screen and wanted to see what was wrong with this woman. How could she ruin his son like this?
Seeing Old Man Ji walk out with anger, the Ji family members were shocked. But no one dared to speak, and no one dared to stop Old Man Ji.
"Grandpa!" Ji Yanran did not care about anything else, and she rushed out to stop her grandfather.
Old Man Ji said coldly, "Don't worry, Yanran. I won't do anything to her. I just want to see what kind of woman she is. She doesn't know what is good for her."
Then, Grandpa Ji looked at Luo Sulan, who was standing in front of him. Grandpa Ji's face changed when he saw her.
Old Man Ji ran in front of Luo Sulan, which shocked the Ji family. They thought Old Man Ji was angry and wanted to do something to Luo Sulan.
Old Man Ji reached out his hand, wanting to grab Luo Sulan. But he didn't dare. His body was shaking.
"Miss Lan … You are Miss Lan … Do you remember Third Brother Ji?"
Old Man Ji's voice was shaking. His legs were weak, and he knelt in front of Luo Sulan. His face was full of tears.
