After contracting to have a child, the icy female CEO became addicted.

"Where is Grandfather?"

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Wen Ling casually put down her teacup and changed the subject.

"We'll be there soon. Your grandfather and the others were just back from a trip to Ao Island a few days ago. Zhizhi has already gone to pick them up."

Zhou Manru's eyes flickered, and she spoke up to explain, while gesturing for Jiang Ran to sit down first.

With his mother-in-law's approval, Jiang Ran finally sat down on the sofa.

However, when Jiang Ran glanced at Wen Bojun out of the corner of her eye, her heart still skipped a beat!

Like father, like daughter!

He had finally gotten used to Wen Ling's leadership demeanor, but now, facing Wen Ling's father in a Zhongshan suit, the aura of a high-ranking leader who had been around for decades suddenly emerged, making Jiang Ran feel extremely uncomfortable, as if he were facing an inspection from above.

He couldn't even imagine what kind of aura Wen Ling's grandfather would have when he arrived...

What is your educational background?

Wen Bojun's powerful voice rang out again, filled with a sense of oppression.

Jiang Ran was about to reply when Wen Ling interrupted her, saying, "An outstanding graduate of Peking University!"

"Dad, can you please stop asking such pointless questions? Didn't you and Mom already look at Jiang Ran's information?"

Wen Ling's tone was clearly impatient, and her protectiveness was instantly on full display!

The more she acted like this, the angrier Wen Bojun became!

Wen Bojun thought it was normal for Wen Zhi to protect men in front of him. That's just Wen Zhi's personality. She talks a good game, but she's actually very shrewd. Wen Zhi is always the one playing men; he's never seen Wen Zhi being played!

But Wenling is completely different!

Ever since Wen Ling could remember, she had been taciturn and usually only focused on studying. She also had a cold and aloof personality, and every day after resting, she would lock herself in her room and not come out.

Because of this, Wen Bojun and his wife Zhou Manru found a psychologist for Wen Ling when she was very young, and the annual psychological check-ups have continued to this day.

Let alone dating, apart from her employees, Wen Ling has never been around a man!

Although Wen Bojun was also worried about his daughter's love life, it wasn't this one-sided!

That brat, what did he turn his most beloved daughter into?

Wen Bojun's gaze towards Jiang Ran grew increasingly disdainful. Over the years, Wen Ling had protected him on a handful of occasions, yet now, after only meeting and exchanging less than ten words, she had already defended him at least five times...

hateful!

"Manru, didn't you say you and Zhizhi bought something for Xiaoling?"

Staring intently at Jiang Ran, Wen Bojun didn't speak to Wen Ling, but directly addressed Zhou Manru.

Zhou Manru understood perfectly.

The last time she saw these two children, she couldn't get any information out of them as long as Wen Ling was present. The best way was to get Wen Ling away.

Zhou Manru certainly didn't object to her husband wanting to have a private chat with his son-in-law!

She nodded naturally and said to Wen Ling, "Oh right, Xiao Ling, come upstairs with Mom first. A few days ago at the auction, Mom and Zhizhi bought some jewelry for you."

Unexpectedly, Wen Ling refused without even lifting her eyelids: "I don't like wearing those. You can keep them for yourselves."

These words completely shut down Zhou Manru's words!

Zhou Manru's eyes darted around, catching sight of the silver bracelet on Jiang Ran's wrist, and she immediately smiled, "It's okay if you don't like it! Come on up and take a look, hmm?"

As she spoke, she winked at Wen Ling and Jiang Ran.

Following Zhou Manru's gaze, Wen Ling's eyes also fell on Jiang Ran beside her.

She also noticed that Jiang Ran had a bracelet on her wrist that had appeared out of nowhere.

It looks like it's made of pure silver.

Is he actually interested in jewelry?

Wen Ling remembered the emerald earrings Jiang Ran had bought for her last time.

She was silent for a moment, then finally stood up and said to Jiang Ran, "Please sit down first, I'll come down in a bit."

Seeing his mother-in-law and Wen Ling get up at the same time, Jiang Ran also stood up. He nodded and watched the two walk towards the elevator at the other end of the living room.

In the large living room, only Jiang Ran and Wen Bojun remained on the sofa. The servants were all gathered in the dining area, preparing for the evening's banquet.

Wen Bojun's gaze fell on Jiang Ran, becoming sharper: "I heard you also met my daughter through a blind date?"

"right."

Jiang Ran nodded and said truthfully, "It was a blind date. My aunt said she would introduce me to someone, so I went."

Wen Bojun's eyes narrowed: "Before you got together with my daughter, you had a girlfriend you dated for three years?"

Jiang Ran nodded obediently. There was nothing he could do if he didn't. His personal information had already been thoroughly investigated by the Wen family, hadn't it?

Seeing Jiang Ran nod, Wen Bojun's heart sank!

No wonder he could win over his daughter like that. One has three years of dating experience, while the other is a complete novice. It's obvious who will win and who will lose in this relationship!

Wen Bojun's tone turned serious, and he asked, "I heard you and that girl have known each other since childhood. Why did you break up in the end?"

"Because... there are many reasons."

Speaking of this, Jiang Ran fell into deep thought. He pursed his lips and truthfully recounted the situation at the time: "She broke up with me because I was unemployed at the time, and she felt that I couldn't give her happiness in Beijing. That's about it."

Meeting Wen Bojun's probing gaze, Jiang Ran smiled with some relief and said, "Actually, she's right. I was indeed insecure during that period of unemployment. Of course, she has the right to pursue her own happiness, and I have no reason to interfere with her. Besides, our views were already incompatible at that time, so breaking up was the best outcome."

Jiang Ran was smiling the whole time as she said this, and her expression was completely sincere.

Wen Bojun tried to find a loophole in Jiang Ran's words, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find anything.

All that remained was the sincerity of the young man before him.

Wen Bojun remembered that Jiang Ran was only 23 years old, 6 years younger than Wen Ling.

For a guy of this age to have such a clear understanding, and not to belittle the woman after the breakup, honestly, his character is absolutely impeccable.

No wonder his wife liked Jiang Ran so much after only meeting him once.

But even though he's a good person, he still has to settle the score for taking away her precious daughter!

Wen Bojun's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Jiang Ran with a serious expression.

To be honest, the Wen family's huge business is meant to be inherited, and it's impossible for it all to be piled on Wen Ling's shoulders alone!

Essentially, Wen Bojun was looking for a son-in-law to ease Wen Ling's burden. At the same time, he could also use this time to observe whether Jiang Ran was qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with Wen Ling for the next few decades!

With this in mind, Wen Bojun didn't hesitate and directly ordered Jiang Ran: "Stop your current work for now. Prepare yourself for a few days and work at Xiao Ling's company!"
