Using power to force marriage

Disappointed at not being able to find any news about her savior, she returned to her suite and, while wandering around the room, unexpectedly found a brooch.

This matte gold leaf brooch, crafted from pure gold, exudes understated elegance and is quite valuable.

Once the brooch designer is found, the owner's identity can be traced back to the brooch designer.

Ruan Fu took the photos and sent them to her best friend Meng Shutan.

She is a jewelry designer and has a good understanding of this type of bespoke jewelry and accessories.

Meng Shutan felt that since the other party deliberately hid his identity, it meant that he did not want to be found by Ruan Fu. Anyway, the matter had been resolved, so it was not so important whether or not to repay the debt of gratitude.

"No! I must find him."

"Is your savior very handsome?"

Ruan Fu couldn't remember what he looked like at all, so how would she know whether he was handsome or not?

Meng Shutan felt that since he could appear on the yacht and handle the Hu family, he must be a powerful figure, so he must not be short of money.

Ruan Fu sighed listlessly, "That's right, he definitely doesn't lack money. Even if I find him, I don't know how to repay his kindness."

Meng Shutan laughed and joked, "Then you can only do what's written in novels."

Ruan Fu pressed further, "What?"

Meng Shutan: "Offer yourself in return."

Unable to find her benefactor, Ruan Fu had no choice but to return to Beicheng with the brooch.

When they pushed their suitcases into the house, the family had just finished dinner and were discussing the marriage between their eldest daughter, Ruan Qian, and the Zhao family in the living room.

"Who is Zhao Jingnian? Why does my sister want to marry him?"

When Ruan Fu returned with her suitcase, her family was overjoyed.

She just graduated last month. On graduation day, she said she wanted to go on a graduation trip. Her family thought that, given her playful nature, she would probably travel all over the country for half a year before she would be willing to come home.

Who would have thought that less than a month later, she would return without a word.

"Fufu, why are you back so soon?"

Ruan Fu said sweetly, "I missed you all so much."

She pretended to be innocent, but in reality, she didn't go on a trip at all. Instead, she secretly went to participate in an international wildlife rescue activity behind her family's back.

When she entered the house, she heard the words "marriage alliance" and the name "Zhao Jingnian".

"My sister is only 26, there's no rush."

Ruan Zhengyang sighed, "We're not in a hurry, but the Zhao family is. Just a couple of days ago, Old Master Zhao invited me for tea."

The two grandfathers were close friends when they were young, and they signed the marriage certificate on behalf of their grandchildren.

"What era are we living in? Why are they still having arranged marriages?"

Ruan Fu was amused. "Grandpa's passed away, so the marriage certificate he signed probably doesn't count, right?"

"It's precisely because your grandfather passed away that this is troublesome," Ruan Zhengyang said helplessly. "This marriage was proposed by your grandfather, so we cannot break the agreement."

Initially, the Zhao family never mentioned the marriage alliance, so the Ruan family pretended to be deaf and dumb.

But a couple of days ago, the old man from the Zhao family took the initiative to meet with us and made it clear that the children had grown up and it was time to start planning a happy occasion for both families.

"My sister doesn't like people with the surname Zhao," Ruan Fu said anxiously. "She's already pregnant..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ruan Qian interrupted her, revealing that she was intentionally hiding the truth from her parents.

"Mom and Dad, Fufu and I haven't seen each other for a long time. We have so much to talk about."

She gave a sweet smile, "Fufu and I are going back to our room now."

Ruan Fu was puzzled as to why Ruan Qian wouldn't let her finish speaking.

"Sister, you already have someone you like, why don't you tell Mom and Dad? Are you really going to marry that man surnamed Zhao?"

"My parents can't find out."

Hearing this, Ruan Fu was completely baffled.

There were only the two of them in the room. Ruan Qian took a deep breath and mentally prepared herself, "Because I like my brother."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent, and the air seemed to freeze for a long time.

Ruan Fu's mind raced as she desperately tried to process this bombshell news.

Her eyes widened in astonishment. "My sister likes my brother!"

What kind of situation is this?

The elder brother, Jiang Qiyu, is 30 years old and is an adopted son of the Ruan family.

Ruan Qian frowned, telling her to keep her voice down. It wasn't anything glorious; there was no need to announce it to the world with a loud voice.

"Does my brother know?"

"Let him know he can still succeed."

"Sis, you're not kidding me, are you?"

"Of course not, what's there to joke about with something like this?"

Ruan Fu tried her best to convince herself that it was okay, since her older brother and sister were not related by blood, and this did not violate human ethics.

One second I was still in shock, the next I had completely accepted this world-shaking news.

"You two aren't blood-related siblings. He's just your parents' adopted son. There's no blood relation between you, and he doesn't have the surname Ruan."

Ruan Fu wished she could immediately go and confess her feelings to Jiang Qiyu on Ruan Qian's behalf, "Once he marries Miss Cen and you marry that Mr. Zhao, then the two of you will truly have no chance at all."

Ruan Fu is passionate and straightforward, open about her likes and dislikes, and possesses a reckless yet sincere courage in her bones.

She believes that if you like someone, you should say it directly; love cannot withstand hesitation and waiting.

Ruan Fu encouraged her, saying, "If you're interested, speak up; if you miss someone, meet them. So what if you get rejected? I'd rather end things openly than have any regrets."

Ruan Qian seemed to be encouraged by her, but when she thought of what her parents had just said to her, she couldn't help but waver.

"I'm meeting with Zhao Jingnian the day after tomorrow morning. What should I do about the marriage proposal?"

Ruan Fu was determined to be her older brother and sister's love bodyguard. She patted her chest confidently and said, "The mere Zhao family, the mere Zhao Jingnian, I'll handle it."

Ruan Qian was startled by her words, thinking that Ruan Fu was going to cause trouble for Zhao Jingnian, as her younger sister had a volatile and explosive personality.

"Fufu, don't be impulsive."

Ruan Fu raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly, "Don't be impulsive, I'll think about it carefully."

The marriage certificate stated that the eldest grandson of the Zhao family and the granddaughter of the Ruan family were happily married, but it did not specify which of the two granddaughters of the Ruan family it was.

Because Zhao Jingnian and Ruan Funian were quite far apart in age, everyone assumed that it would be the elder sister Ruan Qian who would marry into the Zhao family.

"Sis, don't worry, go and confess to your brother. I'll go to the blind date the day after tomorrow in your place."

-

The two met at a quiet coffee shop.

"Sorry I'm a few minutes late."

A sweet female voice rang in his ears. Zhao Jingnian looked up and calmly looked at the pink figure in front of him.

Ruan Fu wore a Barbie pink mini skirt suit, paired with blonde hair and heavy makeup, looking hot, sexy, and energetic.

Her outfit didn't look like she was there for a blind date; she looked more like a cosplayer who had just come from a comic convention.

Today was the day we were supposed to discuss marriage arrangements, but the other party was one hour and 47 minutes late.

The original intended marriage partner was Ruan Qian, the well-educated, dignified, and beautiful eldest daughter of the Ruan family, but it was clear that the "Barbie princess" in front of them was not.

Zhao Jingnian recognized Ruan Fu, but she did not seem to recognize him.

He guessed that Ruan Fu had probably forgotten what happened that night, and since it wasn't a good thing anyway, it was best to forget.

"My name is Ruan Fu, and I'm here for a blind date with you."
