Chapter 64 Fighting For The Son-inw
"Colin, Selina, why are you here?"
Fannie was surprised to see Colin Ruan, Selina Zhou and their daughter who just started her college.
Rachel was watching TV when she heard her mother. She ced her fruit on the table and walked
towards the door. "Uncle, Aunt and Vicky, why are you here?"
"What? We are not wee here?" Selina said with a smile while looking at Rachel who stood behind
Fannie.
"Of course yes, we are d to see you. Come on in." After saying so, Fannie stepped aside and let
theme inside the house.
Rachel nced at Fannie''s slightly pale face and felt that something was wrong.
Colin Ruan was Simpson Ruan''s brother, but when Colin was quite young, he was adopted by a
rtive who didn''t have any children. After he grew up, he married Selina Zhou. Later they moved to
another city to live with Selina''s mother, and Colin alsomenced his career there.
Rachel poured them three cups of tea and ced them on the table. "Uncle, it''s your first time toe
back here after all these three years, am I right? Vicky, when I saw youst time, you were still a young
girl. Now you are all grown up, and I must say you have grown into a beautifuldy, "
Rachel said smilingly, even if she noticed that Colin Ruan and Selina Zhou seemed to be wearing a
forced and unnatural smile.
"That''s right. When we came back three years ago, Vicky was in her first year at a senior high school.
Now she is a freshman at a university; her childhood days flew by so quickly, " Selina Zhou said
proudly while ncing at her beautiful daughter.
"Selina, don''t just talk. Please have some tea, " said Fannie. Then she thoughtfully looked at Vicky
Ruan and asked, "Where''s Vicky''s brother? Why didn''t hee with you?"
Colin Ruan replied, "Steven works at an expresspany now. He is earning rather well. Oh, right. I''ve
heard about that... the Rong family has a son, right?"
Fannie grew a bit sorrowful upon hearing this.
She didn''t expect that they would get to know about this news so quickly and visit her just because of
this matter.
At this moment, Rachel began to realize their purpose ofing here. Fannie pulled a long face and
then replied, "That''s right. Is something the matter? Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Learning that the news was real, Colin Ruan got delighted and said, "Grandfather once told us that the
ancestors of the Ruan family and the Rong family wanted to be rted by marriage. But in the past, no
two people from the two families were suitable for each other, so there hasn''t been a wedding alliance
between the families. Now, Vicky has grown up, and she can marry the Rong family''s son."
No one spoke after hearing these words.
There was an awkward silence for a while.
Everyone felt embarrassed.
The whole house went silent. They could even hear the drip of the tap which wasn''t turned off tightly
after the fruits were washed.
"Colin, Rachel is several years older than Vicky, and she is the oldest girl of the Ruan family in this
generation. Besides, Vicky is still a student, " said Fannie irritably.
She knew Colin Ruan and his wife very well. They were the jealous kind who always tried every means
for their personal benefit. So as expected, when they learned the news, they immediately rushed to
Fannie''s house.
In this situation, Fannie had to argue with them to protect Rachel and Hiram''s marriage.
Selina Zhou seemed confused, and she nced at Fannie.
"What are you saying? They both are the children of the Ruan family. They have an equal opportunity
to marry into the Rong family. It has nothing to do with the age. Rachel is not so young anymore, and
she''s unwanted. What makes you think that the Rong family will ept her? Vicky is twenty years old
now. She is old enough to get married."
Colin Ruan also took a look at Vicky Ruan with satisfaction. Vicky, who just turned twenty years old,
was as pretty and attractive as a flower.
He was sure that Hiram would undoubtedly be fascinated by the very sight of her.
"Colin, our father had said everything clearly at that time. Since you had moved out of our family, the
rest of us were responsible for taking care of the Ruan family''s old house. We offered many sacrifices
to our ancestors year after year. We also follow our ancestors'' teachings all the time. So, of course,
Rachel is the most suitable person to marry into the Rong family, " said Fannie.
She thought that no one would know Colin was a member of the Ruan family because some other
family had adopted him.
The rtive who adopted Colin Ruan at that time was rich. Colin''s father wanted to take him back after
two years, but he was unwilling to give up on the good and wealthy life.
Rachel nced at Colin, Selina, and Vicky in silence. Earlier, she had no idea why Fannie was so
eager to have her and Hiram get their marriage license.
But now she had it all figured out.
She remembered that when her father was seriously ill, Colin Ruan only visited him once. He didn''t
even help Rachel''s family ovee the difficult times when they were short of money.
Fannie had never made anyints.
"Well, Selina, I have an idea. We can visit the Rong family one day. I believe they will agree to the
marriage after they see Vicky, " said Colin, thinking that Vicky was so beautiful and the Rong family
would definitely like her.
He believed that if the Rong family needed to choose between Rachel or Vicky, they would surely
choose thetter.
Fannie suddenly stood up, opened her bedroom''s door and pointed at the stuff that Hiram bought for
her.
"You arete. These things were sent to us by Hiram Rong this morning. Now, do you know what this
means?"
After hearing her, Colin Ruan and Selina Zhou stood up from the chairs and walked into Fannie''s
bedroom to take a look.
Selina Zhou was so shocked to see those expensive presents that she almost passed out.
"Fannie, you are so thoughtless. Why didn''t you discuss such an important matter with us?" Colin Ruan
supported Selina Zhou with his hands and stared at Fannie usingly.
"Colin, let''s go! I''m ashamed of having such a selfish rtive who only cares about wealth. She never
shares any good news with us and never thinks about Vicky''s welfare. Let''s go!"
Selina said angrily. After she told Vicky Ruan to leave, she walked towards the door.
The Rong family was very wealthy. If someone could marry into that family, all of her family members
would also get the benefit. However, Selina Zhou could not seize such an excellent opportunity this
time.
She grew more envious and resentful by this thought.
Vicky took a quick look at Rachel and lowered her head; she felt embarrassed. Then she followed her
mother out of the house.
In fact, in her eyes, Rachel was a nice person who bought food for her every time she came back.
Besides, Rachel always gave some books to Vicky.
After they left, Fannie got very furious. She removed the teacups away from the table and poured the
tea into the sink.
Rachel went into the kitchen and gently said, "Mother, don''t be angry. I have got a marriage license
with Hiram, what else are you afraid of?"
Fannie sighed and said, "I am not worried about that. I''m afraid that they will go to the Rong family to
disturb them. They will embarrass the whole family in front of the Rong''s."
Colin Ruan was a member of the Ruan family, but he had moved out a long time ago. He seldom came
back after he started living with his parents-inw.
Only Fannie and Simpson kept in touch with the Rong family for the past few years.
Perhaps the Rong family only knew Simpson, and they had no idea that Colin Ruan was also a
member of the Ruan family.
