Chapter 752 How About a Baby? (2/2)

”Yes, Missus Han. What year is this? Our Ji family is willing to help Han Sen, for with our power, he can become someone grand. He will make you prouder than you can imagine,” another middle-aged woman joined in to speak.

Missus Ji then rejoined the talk, saying, ”Missus Han, if Han Sen marries our daughter, he will be half my son. The Ji family will help him forge a legacy of his own and commit to fine, broad deeds. Isn't that what you desire?”

”I don't have many expectations. I only want him to be with me. Carrying on the Han family legacy is more than enough for me,” Luo Sulan replied to the criticizers.

”Missus Han, this is not right. How can you not share concern for your son's future? Do you know what he will receive when he joins us? What he will achieve and where he will go? Aren't you selfish for not allowing him to join our family?” Missus Ji's tone was infected with undertones of anger now.

Han Sen could not hold his tongue any longer. He could take all the pressure, if he was the one under the microscope, but he couldn't stand for his mother to be bullied anymore.

Just as Han Sen was about to move, Luo Sulan's left hand stopped him. Although Luo Sulan did not turn to look, she held onto him really hard and prevented him from doing that which he wanted to.

Ji Yanran quickly tugged at her mom's sleeves, as well. She wanted her to stop pushing with her dialogue.

But Missus Ji was in no mood to stop her criticism, and she proceeded to say, ”Missus Han, the Ji family is large and rich. My husband, Ji Ruozhen, is the president of the Alliance. Do you really think I will allow my daughter to sink through the mud to be with you?”

”When you get married, the woman tends to follow her husband. Yanran is a fine child, and I'm sure she will be just fine,” Luo Sulan calmly responded.

Just as Missus Ji was getting mad, prepared to say something else, a voice of someone annoyed came from further back, behind a screen.

”A housewife's opinion is one that allows their man to do everything. You are destroying his future.” The voice was calm, but it was one that was drenched in intimidation. After the man spoke, everyone on the Ji's side quieted down.

”What can the Ji family provide him?” Luo Sulan, as composed as ever, looked to the screen and spoke.

”A reputation within the Alliance. One that will earn him the world.” These words were spoken by Grandfather Ji. They were commanding words, and they were spoken with power.

”If that is the future, then I'd rather he stayed at home raising babies,” Luo Sulan coldly scoffed in rebuttal. She was not spooked by the man that was now addressing her.

The Ji family's face looked strange, as what she said seemed so lame.

”You woman! You really don't know your place. I am being nice to your son, and you suggest he raise babies. What is it that you think men should do?” Grandfather Ji was furious. He stepped beyond the screen to see the woman that defied him, wanting to destroy her son's future.

The people of the Ji family were shocked, witnessing Grandfather Ji reveal himself. He looked mad, and not a single other person was willing to speak while he did so or try and usher calmness into him.

”Grandpa!” All apart from Ji Yanran, that was. She ran forward and tried to stop her grandfather's advance.

Grandfather Ji coldly said, ”Do not worry. I am not planning to do anything; I just want to see who this disrespectful woman is.”

As he talked, he walked in the direction of Luo Sulan. He took a look as he went, and his face entirely changed when he saw her.

He then quickly ran directly in front of her, which shocked the Ji family audience. They believed his wrath had been incited so much, he was running forward to do something.

But this was not so. Grandfather Ji looked nervous, and he reached out his hand to her. He wanted to grab her, but he pulled back as his body shivered.

”Lady Lan! You are Lady Lan? Do you not remember the Ji's third brother?” Grandfather Ji's vocal chords were trembling. His knees went soft, and he knelt in front of her with tears rolling down his cheeks.
