The Will (IV)
It was the elder Mr Gan who laugh out loud to disperse the awkward situation. "Things aren't as simple as that. If you have no blood relatives available, then of course either Miss Fong or Wang Lei and even me can be your appointed guardian. The family court are more biased towards blood related relatives at this moment and no matter how clear and direct your parents' will are, this matter can be contested in court. Knowing your uncle and your step grandmother, they will definitely contest for your custody especially after knowing the content of your parents' will," he said as he sadly shook his head.
"So it's like that, don't be so sad, with Sister Fong by my side, I am sure I won't be bullied badly and I will make sure I won't be treated shabbily by those people. By the way, even though Sister Fong and Wang Lei gege (brother) do not need to get married on my behalf but you two can still go ahead and get married anyway, wouldn't it be great, the two people that I like can be together forever." She gave everyone her brightest smile as she pulled on Gan Wang Lei's hand and placed in Fong Siew Lay's hand.
Fong Siew Lay felt like an electrical current had jolted through her body, quickly she removed her hand away, not wanting to have further contact. She backed away a few steps back and took the opportunity to size the man in front of her up. Indeed, he is gorgeous with high nose bridge and sharp facial features, in addition, his lean body and tall stature added more to his charm. However, she did not manage to connect warm and nice with his current aura which immediately disappear when he looked at Ru Ran. His aura took a 180 degrees turn when facing Ru Ran, it radiates gentleness, warmth and even a hint of willingness to pamper. She suddenly felt a sharp gaze on her being, only to realise she had been caught staring, she quickly looked away and blushed awkwardly.
"Mmm, Ru Ran, adult matters are not that simple anyway, at this moment, your sister Fong is more concerned about your future days and has no time to worry about relationship, so Ru Ran don't have to play matchmaker for me and just leave that to my uncles and aunty," she said while letting out a short sigh because she really felt a headache coming just thinking about her aunts and uncles antics all trying to matchmake her with somebody's somebody.
Gan Wang Lei glanced at the lady, his father was talking about over the phone, how she stormed into the office and demanded he follow her to the hospital. Looking at the petite lady in front of him, he really could not match his father's description of her to the one standing in front of him now. She appears harmless and meek like a lamb, not at all fiery. Her fingers were slightly rough due to calluses, in keeping with the information he gathered about her when he requested for a background check on her.
He had to make sure, the person accompanying his little sugar bun is a trustworthy and loyal person. Of course, he trusted his best friend's judgement but he just have to confirm it himself, he doesn't want to take the risk, he had already lost his best friend, now he does not want to lose the little girl he considered his own as well. Fong Siew Lay, you seems to be an interesting lady, we will interact with each other more often in the future, he thought to himself. Old man Gan who was watching the whole thing, was smirking internally, this son of his causing worry to his mother, hmmph, don't blame father for interfering with your life, the sooner you get married the sooner your mother's attention will be solely on me. Thinking about it, made him happy, and he winked at Ru Ran and then acted as if nothing happened. He will need to treat the little girl one day.
At the same time, Matriach Du, who just received a call from her son, was boiling in anger that she almost fainted. She had threw a cup across the room, almost injuring an incoming helper who came to notify the arrival of a notice from the lawyer's office. Only yesterday, they were celebrating in victory and today, her son is hospitalised. That girl, just like her father is bad news. Her knuckles turned white due to the tight grip she made as her hands fisted.
