After hitting the Rolls-Royce, the top-tier green tea started fishing.

Ruan Zhining has been very busy lately.

She was busy learning flower arranging, tea ceremony, wine tasting, and how to get along with wealthy ladies, among other things.

Making final preparations for marrying into a wealthy family.

On a weekend evening, Jiang Linfeng finally had a brief respite. He called her to arrange a meeting.

Grandma Jiang is back.

Jiang's mother also sent a WeChat message, saying that a family banquet would be held tonight to choose an auspicious day for the wedding.

Full of confidence, Ruan Zhining got into Jiang Linfeng's car.

"Zhi Ning, thanks to A Yan's help in taking care of you these past few days, you look much better."

"Once we set the wedding date tonight, I'll hand over the company's affairs to my sister, and I'll go on a trip with you."

Ruan Zhining felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

However, they discovered that the car did not drive to the Jiang family villa, but instead drove to a secluded private restaurant.

Jiang Linfeng explained this as follows:

"Grandma insisted on meeting you here, maybe she thought it would be more formal? I don't know if you like the food here."

Ruan Zhining smiled gently, "That's fine. I didn't come here just to eat."

She did it to become a rich woman.

She is Miss Ruan now, and soon she will become Mrs. Jiang. Later, she will become—President Ruan.

Ruan Zhining got out of the car and looked at herself in the reflective glass in front of the door:

A gentle, light-colored dress, cute little leather shoes, long hair, and a seemingly bare face—this is the kind of outfit older people love to wear.

Perfect! Ruan Zhining smiled with triumph.

As she was walking inside, her phone suddenly vibrated.

It was a WeChat message from Wen Xiyu:

【Zhi Ning, please don't be too sad... You still have me. No matter what happens to you, I will always stand by your side and be with you.】

?

What does that mean?

She's not sad at all; she's actually quite happy.

Ruan Zhining didn't reply and chose to silence her phone completely. She followed Jiang Linfeng into the private room.

To her surprise, not only was Grandma Jiang in the private room, but even Jiang's father, who was far away abroad, had rushed back.

Grandma Jiang looked her up and down, her eyes filled with amazement.

"You really are very beautiful...more beautiful than female stars, no wonder Lin Feng likes you so much."

"Come, Xiao Ruan, sit down quickly."

Grandma Jiang was very kind. She took out a thick red envelope and handed it to Ruan Zhining.

Ruan Zhining knew this was a gift for a junior, so she thanked him and accepted it generously.

"Grandma, this is a scarf I knitted. It's my first time knitting one, so I hope you won't mind."

She took out a scarf she had knitted herself as a return gift and handed it to her with a smile.

She tilted her head slightly when she spoke, which made her appear charming and simple.

Grandma Jiang took the scarf, touched it, and said with gratitude, "Good child, you've gone to so much trouble."

Jiang's mother smiled and said, "Linfeng, look, your grandma likes Zhi Ning so much that she can't bear to put that scarf down."

Jiang Linfeng also smiled and called her "Grandma," and the atmosphere became very pleasant.

Ruan Zhining lowered her head, trying her best to appear shy while smiling. In reality, her heart was already bursting with joy.

Grandma Jiang served Ruan Zhining food several times, and Ruan Zhining ate it all clean, whether she liked it or not.

Her table manners were impeccable. She was as refined as a lady from a prominent family.

Grandma Jiang looked at her and suddenly sighed, "Zhining, you are indeed a very good girl."

Ruan Zhining smiled sweetly. This meant that he had a good impression of her.

But Grandma Jiang's next words stunned her:

"I've calculated your birth chart. It's a good match for Cheng Che, the youngest grandson of the Cheng family. If you'd like, Grandma will introduce you to Cheng Che, okay?"

?

Ruan Zhining looked completely bewildered. Cheng... Cheng Che? Who is that?

Jiang Linfeng exclaimed, "Grandma, Cheng Che is my good brother, and he's also friends with Chongyan! What are you talking about?"

Grandma Jiang, however, was not joking at all.

Looking at the old man's serious expression, Ruan Zhining had an ominous premonition for some reason.

The next second, Grandma Jiang took out a finely crafted gold-flecked sheet of paper from her bag, which was printed with Buddhist scriptures.

"Little Ruan, this is your birth chart, and this is Lin Feng's birth chart..."

"It's a real pity that you have no connection with the Jiang family."

Ruan Zhining was completely stunned.

In an instant, it was as if struck by lightning.

The bright sunshine that was about to lead to her marriage into a wealthy family was suddenly overshadowed by dark clouds.

After a long pause, she finally spoke, "You...you said what birth chart?"

The gold-flecked paper was pushed in front of her.

Now, even those who didn't understand before can understand it.

She and Jiang Linfeng were antagonistic.

It's an ominous sign!

She actually wanted to say something superstitious, but she didn't dare—Grandma Jiang clearly believed in Buddhism, which was a big taboo.

But she simply couldn't believe such a thing.

After all, she was unlucky. If she believed in fate, she would have starved to death on the streets when she was only 8 years old.

She only believes in herself!

But with such incompatible birth charts, she had no idea how to break the cycle... What to do...

Not only Ruan Zhining, but even Jiang Linfeng's face turned pale.

He knew nothing; he still thought that his grandmother liked Zhi Ning very much.

"Grandma!" Jiang Linfeng suddenly stood up. "What are you talking about? There must be some misunderstanding. Zhi Ning and I are a perfect match..."

"You two are not a good match, Linfeng," Grandma Jiang sighed. "Xiao Ruan is destined for great wealth and prosperity, but you two are incompatible. Otherwise, tell me, how did you manage to bump your head on the headboard a while ago?"

Jiang Linfeng: "I was drunk then. You can ask Chongyan, he knows too—"

"How come Chongyan is fine, but you're the one who bumped your head?" Grandma Jiang said angrily. "This is just bad luck. Linfeng, Grandma is doing this for Xiaoruan's sake, and for yours too."

Ruan Zhining, "..."

She stood up abruptly, clutching her bag, somewhat dazed, but still spoke with great composure.

"Grandma, Auntie, Uncle, I'm sorry, I have to go now. Please enjoy your meal."

The Jiang family's butler stepped forward very politely and bowed to see Ruan Zhining out.

"Zhining—"

Jiang Linfeng turned around and was about to chase after her.

Grandma Jiang stopped him with a stern voice:

"Stop right there!"

The door to the private room closed behind Ruan Zhining. She didn't hear anything else.

Hearing it won't help, unless she has extraordinary abilities to change her birth date.

But if she had that ability, why would she need to marry into a wealthy family?

It's over. She and Jiang Linfeng probably won't have a future together...

When Ruan Zhining walked out of the private restaurant, she was still in a daze and walked forward in a daze.

As she walked, she seemed to hallucinate, seeing a Rolls-Royce driving towards her.

Then, the car door opened, and someone respectfully said to her, "Ms. Ruan, this is your new car. Congratulations on your fortune!"

Wow--

That is impossible.

Waaah.

Waaaaaah!

Her dream of marrying into a wealthy family has shattered again. Why is the quality even worse than what she buys on Pinduoduo...?

When will she ever be able to afford her own Rolls-Royce...?

next second.

The illusion before my eyes has become reality.

A Rolls-Royce actually stopped in front of her.

Ruan Zhining was stunned when the car door opened and a tall, handsome man stepped out.

Wow—it's Wen Chongyan.

"..."

Ruan Zhining's shoulders slumped instantly.

She lowered her head, completely waking up from the illusion of self-deception, her eyes gradually reddening.

But she didn't want Wen Chongyan to see her. Just as she turned to leave, her phone vibrated again in her bag.

The caller ID shows Wen Xiyu.

Ruan Zhining didn't answer, but Wen Xiyu sent another WeChat message:

【Zhining, are you alright? I'm coming to be with you. Please don't bottle up your feelings if you're feeling unwell, okay?】

Ruan Zhining was stunned.

In an instant, a huge question arose in her mind:

How did Wen Xiyu know she was sad?

Did he already know that Grandma Jiang would reject her?
