Chapter 190 Ruan Zilu's Wedding
Ruan Zilu huddled in the corner of Xi Yu's bed with a worried look on her face, burying her chin in her knees and muttering about what had happened since she returned home these past two days.
"I thought the family was suddenly throwing a banquet... They even forced me to dress up, and then suddenly announced the marriage alliance between the Ruan family and the Yi family at the banquet..."
"You don't like that man named Yi Rui?" Xi Yu couldn't help but recall the man's appearance. He was a decent-looking man, but unfortunately, he had an ugly slicked-back hairstyle and always liked to put on airs, with his nose always pointing upwards.
"Of course I don't like him! I've never even spoken a word to him! And who in the entire capital doesn't know that Yi Rui likes An Ying, the daughter of the An family?" Ruan Zilu responded excitedly.
"An Ying is a famous beauty in the capital! Although she is not from one of the ten great families, she is very famous in high society and has countless admirers!"
She shrank back in disappointment: "What am I? I'm just a member of a collateral branch of the Ruan family, and I only got into military academy by luck. I don't even know if I'll graduate. An Ying is already an intern military doctor..."
Compared to the radiant An Ying, Ruan Zilu felt inferior. The thought of Yi Rui's disdainful look at her at the banquet made her feel extremely embarrassed.
She never considered associating with these big families; she just wanted to graduate honestly and make her parents' lives better, and that would be enough for her.
Xi Yu snapped her fingers in front of Ruan Zilu's drooping head, pulling the self-pitying Ruan Zilu back to reality.
"So what if you're a beauty? So what if you're a military doctor? If you can't even respect yourself, then no one in this world will respect or value you."
Ruan Zilu timidly looked up, and seeing Xi Yu's determined eyes, her heart gradually calmed down.
"Believe me, you have a talent that they could never have, and never doubt your abilities," Xi Yu said, holding her hand.
Ruan Zilu gripped Xi Yu's hand tightly in return, and the gloom in her heart unconsciously dissipated. After talking with Xi Yu, her troubled thoughts gradually disappeared.
Xi Yu has a certain magic that makes people unconsciously believe what she says.
"I feel much better after talking to you, thank you Xiaoyu!" Ruan Zilu smiled shyly.
Xi Yu returned her a smile.
"By the way, when you saw Yi Rui, was there anything wrong with him?" Xi Yu asked mischievously, wanting to know what happened next.
“There’s nothing wrong with it… Well, if I had to say something, it would be that he kept going to the toilet? I heard from the housekeeper that he went to the toilet about four times that night. I wonder what he was doing?” Ruan Zilu rubbed her ears and thought back.
"Oh, I see..." If Ruan Zilu weren't here, she would definitely laugh out loud.
What Xi Yu injected into Yi Rui's body was compressed spiritual energy, but that little bit should have dissipated long ago. The fact that he still has the habit of frequently going to the toilet is probably a side effect or psychological trauma.
"Has this marriage been finalized?" Xi Yu asked, sitting down next to Ruan Zilu.
“Although it’s not officially settled yet, both families are interested in a marriage alliance. However… Yi Rui resolutely announced in public that he would not marry me,” Ruan Zilu said with a complicated expression.
She had no intention of marrying Yi Rui, and was even unwilling to marry into one of the ten great families. Her dream for the future was simply to have an ordinary husband and live an ordinary life. However, she was still very saddened to be disliked in public like that.
