At noon, the Guan and Ruan family was having their lunch together. Ruan Qishan was informing Guan Jianlin and Ling Qi of his plan to announce Ruan Zeyan and Guan Meiyis engagement on the next days anniversary dinner.

It was going to happen!

The Guan family had been waiting for that day for years. The past few years, even though the Guan family looked glamorous and wealthy on the outside, they had been less prosperous than before. Guan Jianlin desperately wanted to confirm the marriage with the Ruans as to conveniently tie the two families with each other.

Even though the two kids had an arranged marriage since youth, it was still just a pa.s.sing remark by the adults when they were young. It didnt hold much actual weight, and there was nothing stopping the Ruans from going back on their word.

That was why Ling Qi had expended all her energy to groom Guan Meiyi since youth, cultivating her according to the the Ruan familys daughter-in-laws standards, or more accurately, w.a.n.g Zhiyas standards. Whatever w.a.n.g Zhiyas interested in, Ling Qi made sure that Guan Meiyi learned. Whatever w.a.n.g Zhiya liked, Ling Qi required that Guan Meiyi must love the same things too. Even her dress style is copied from w.a.n.g Zhiyas tastes. Over time, w.a.n.g Zhiya finds that she could click with Guan Meiyi, and gradually liked her more and more.

It was just, as the two kids gradually grew up, the Ruans had never brought up the issue again. That made the Guan family a little panicked, worried that there might be a change. They were the female side though, and it was definitely inappropriate for them to bring up the idea first.

That day, Ruan Qishan had finally officially brought up their engagement, a heavy weight had then been lifted off from Guan Jianlin and Ling Qis shoulders. The two of them did not hesitate at all and agreed happily. They were quick to spread the news to their closest relatives and friends.

Ling Tao knew the information on that very same day and was all smiles when he headed home that night.

Tao, did something good happen? Youre in such a good mood, Qu Wan virtuously took over Ling Taos jacket.

Yeah, Daddy! What put you in such a good mood? Ling Yuqing walked out supporting Madam Ling as well.

Ling Taos face seemed to glow with happiness, Didnt you hear? Today my sister told me that the Ruan family has officially brought up Mr. Ruan and Meiyis engagement to the Guans and is going to announce it at tomorrows annual Yuan Tengs dinner!

The moment she heard the news, Madam Lings mouth immediately spread in a wide smile. She was completely over the moon, yet she couldnt help complaining, Ling Qi that brat! Why didnt she inform me the moment she knew?

Hush Mom, dont be angry at her, most likely sister and brother-in-law forgot it in their bustle. The Ruans only informed them today, and the dinners tomorrow, they definitely have a lot to prepare. Ling Tao tried to explain the situation for Ling Qi.

Only then did Madam Ling put it down, Thats true, what great news, finally something important is settled.

Madam Ling and Ling Tao were both overjoyed by the news, but Qu Wan was perturbed, I thought it would be something big, someone elses daughter is getting engaged, what are you so happy about? Others would think it was your daughter by how happy you are!

Thinking about how arrogant Ling Qi would get after Guan Meiyi and Ruan Zeyans engagement, Qu Wan couldnt help but feel irritated.

Hearing the petulant words, Madam Lings face dropped. Whats with your tone?

Sensing that Madam Ling wasnt too happy, Qu Wan scrambled to save herself, Ah, Mom, dont misunderstand me, Im happy about Meiyis engagement too.

Ling Tao knew that Qu Wans suffered a lot under Ling Qis obnoxious actions, that was why she was feeling upset. That was why he gently coaxed, Its a good thing that the Guan family and Ruan family have an engagement. Think about it, if the Guan and Ruan families are tied together, doesnt that mean that us, the Lings can take advantage of the situation as well? This is only good for us, and theres no cons to it, dont you think?

It wasnt that Qu Wan didnt understand the logic behind it, it was just that she couldnt raise her mood thinking about how she had to keep a better facade around Ling Qi from then on. She was quick to recover though, instantly flas.h.i.+ng Ling Tao a sweet, sweet smile. Then, Tao, at tomorrows annual Yuan Teng Corporations dinner, why not bring me and Yuqing? There will definitely be many fine men then, its a good chance to find a good husband for our Yuqing.

Ling Yuqing lowered her head shyly, but her eyes betrayed how excited she actually was.

But... Ling Tao hesitated, I only have three invitation cards, I was planning to give one to Yaya, Yaya is her elder sister after all, and... Ling Tao trailed off. And my biological daughter, was what Ling Tao thought, but didnt say.
