Chapter 102: Wen Ruan is in this family but not me!

Wen Ruan is not in this family, I am not!

Yao family’s old house, study on the second floor.

After Yao Wei sat down on the sofa, the first thing he said to He Zheng was, "Let's get a divorce tomorrow morning. I'll pretend what happened today never happened."

The second sentence was: "It's indeed time for you to get married. Your mother has helped you find several families. They are all well-matched and will help your career. Please take some time to meet each of them. If you like any of them, I will help you propose marriage."

He Zheng waited until he finished speaking before he raised the corners of his lips slightly, not afraid of his threats and pressure.

"No, I'm determined to be with Wen Ruan in this life. As for the well-matched ones, you can save them for Yao Tianyu. He's not married yet."

Yao Wei picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, and was about to hand it to He Zheng. When he heard his words, he looked at him silently. In the fierce and undercurrent atmosphere, he threw the cup in the air hard.

The cup was thrown right at He Zheng's ear, but He Zheng didn't move at all and there was no fear on his face.

The cup hit the blue and white porcelain vase next to it with such force that the vase fell over and shattered onto the ground along with the cup.

Yao Wei narrowed his eyes, unable to contain the aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

"What if I tell you that you can only save one of Wen Ruan and Ming He?"

There was a cigarette box on the coffee table. He Zheng took a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then lit it with a lighter. He leaned back, crossed his long legs casually, and exhaled smoke nonchalantly.

"Mr. Yao, are you threatening me? Fine, then I'll give you a heads up. The Rongli Group's overseas projects, the ones you value most, are now supported by my connections. If you dare to touch my wife or Minghe, we'll be doomed."

Yao Wei was silent, his face gloomy.

He really liked He Zheng and did intend to train him to take over his job, but he didn't necessarily need He Zheng.

He liked He Zheng's ruthlessness and ability, but the prerequisite was that he had to be obedient and easy to control. He could tolerate He Zheng's willfulness once or twice, but he could not tolerate him provoking him all the time.

He would rather abandon the disobedient wolf cub.

But he didn't expect that this little wolf cub was smarter than he thought.

The most important reason why he has been repeatedly tolerant and reciprocated towards He Zheng in recent years is that he and He Zheng have a vested interest in each other.

Rongli Group is very successful in China, but it has difficulty developing abroad because the previous leaders were short-sighted and the last old man was even more pedantic. During his time in power, he weakened the development abroad and disdained to expand overseas.

After he came to power, he spent several years dealing with civil unrest before slowly expanding overseas.

But the market was already saturated and Rongli Group missed the best opportunity.

After some exploration, they finally worked out the most powerful strategic plan and signed several major projects that were very important to development. When he was feeling proud of himself, he suddenly found that he had been tricked by his own son.

He knew that Tianyu had always been at odds with He Zheng, and he also knew that Tianyu had been using the power of the group to attack He Zheng.

He didn't care before, firstly to let the two children temper each other, and secondly to temper He Zheng's temper and force him to give in to him when he was desperate. But this kid didn't come to him even when he was on the verge of bankruptcy several times. He was really stubborn.

Not only that, the wolf cub's claws are very sharp.

Knowing that he couldn't hold up the Rongli Group in China, he secretly went abroad to register a company. By the time he found out, this wolf cub had already become a silent shareholder in several of his projects and had swallowed up a lot of his shares.

Not only that, the most important suppliers of his several production lines are all friends of this wolf cub.

——The projects that you value most are now supported by my connections.

This was partly true. The wolf cub's network of relationships was far wider than he knew. His connections within the group were intricate and complex, and any one move could affect the entire group.

Yao Wei hates being constrained the most. He could actually give up the overseas market, but the projects there have matured over the years and are now purely profitable. It would be foolish to give up.

…

In the study, neither the father nor the son spoke for a while, and the atmosphere was tense.

Yao Wei looked at his rebellious son across from him, his expression frighteningly cold. "How dare you bring Wen Ruan here directly? Are you sure I will agree in the end?"

He Zheng played with the lighter in his hand, and with a flick of his finger, an orange flame shot up.

"I'm not sure, I just think that Mr. Yao is a smart man. Giving up such a huge benefit for such a small matter is not worth it."

Yao Wei narrowed his eyes, "Does it have to be Wen Ruan?"

"yes."

He Zheng loosened his grip and the fire went out. He lowered his crossed legs, leaned forward, and flicked the ashes off his cigarette.

"Do you know why I have to be with Wen Ruan? When I was a freshman in high school, I was almost beaten to death by Yao Tianyu and his men. It was Wen Ruan who saved me, otherwise I would have died long ago. The reason I was able to get into Shanghai City University was also because Wen Ruan tutored me, otherwise I would have failed long ago."

His tone was not so aggressive anymore, his voice slowed down, and he even picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Yao Wei.

This means taking the initiative to ease relations.

Yao Wei glanced at him and didn't take his tea. He Zheng didn't care and just held it there.

"Wen Ruan saved my life and gave me a new life. I just like her. If she hadn't fallen in love with Jiang Qingyan before, she would have been my wife long ago, and the child would have run away."

Yao Wei still refused to take the teacup. He Zheng didn't give in to him. He took it back and drank it himself.

"Speaking of this, Mr. Yao, I've actually always wanted to thank you. Thank you for helping Yao Man snatch Jiang Qingyan away. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have had the chance to marry Wen Ruan."

Yao Wei stared at the empty cup he had drunk and laughed angrily.

"You're so careless for a woman. How come I didn't realize before that you're still a love-brained person?"

He Zheng poured himself another cup of tea.

"Do I need to discover this? It's genetic. Isn't He Meizhu just a love-sick person? At the prime of her life, she gave up her studies for you, abandoned her mother and children for you, and finally got pregnant again. Your two children deliberately caused her to have a miscarriage, and she foolishly believed you when you said it wasn't intentional."

"She only has the title of Mrs. Yao, but she does all the work of a robot, babysitting your two children, working tirelessly without complaint and without a single temper. You have a mistress outside, lying to her that it's a work relationship, and she foolishly buys her jewelry as if she's a sister."

Yao Wei stared at him, "Are you standing up for your mother?"

He Zheng took a sip of tea and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"She chose her own path. Why should I defend her? I mean, I inherited my love-brained nature from He Meizhu. He Meizhu was blindly in love with you, and I love Wen Ruan as much as I do."

"You've enjoyed He Meizhu's love brain for more than 20 years, so you should be able to understand me."

Yao Wei was silent for a while, his eyes deep.

"Wen Ruan had that fight with Rong Li before. If you marry her, how will you let the Yao family put their reputation aside?"

The tea smelled very fragrant, and He Zheng smacked his lips.

"Ever since Wen Ruan joined Minghe, people outside have been speculating about our relationship. There's been nothing innocent between us for a long time. They've already discussed everything that needs to be discussed. Even if we make our relationship public, they won't be surprised."

Yao Wei was silent. This was true.

At the beginning, He Zheng insisted on taking Wen Ruan in because he felt that he could not resist the temptation of beauty and was bewitched by Wen Ruan.

Unexpectedly, the situation was completely reversed. It was this guy who took great pains to lure Wen Ruan to Minghe.

Yao Wei's expression wasn't as ugly anymore, but he still refused to give in.

When He Zheng came up, he was holding a briefcase in his hand. He took it from the side, opened it, took out a document from it, put it on the coffee table and pushed it towards Yao Wei.

"I know you have a problem with Wen Ruan, and I'm not here to cause trouble today. This is my sincerity."

Yao Wei reached out and picked up the document, opened it, and a subtle glimmer of surprise flashed across his eyes. After a while, he closed the document and looked up at He Zheng.

"For a woman, you gave up all these years of hard work. Don't you regret it?"

He Zheng shrugged and said with a smile: "As long as you don't touch Wen Ruan, I won't regret it. But if you take the things and still touch her, I can give it to you, and I can also take it back."

He added another sentence.

"Also, I said that Wen Ruan must not be touched. This includes you, your children, and especially Yao Man. From today on, if anything happens to Wen Ruan, I will blame it on you."

Yao Wei looked at him for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and pointed at the teapot beside him.

It was as if nothing had happened just now, and he was just teaching him a lesson as a father.

"You're almost thirty, and as your father, I've never even had a sip of your tea."

He Zheng picked up the teapot, poured another cup, and handed it to him.

This time, Yao Wei took it and took a sip. The dignity on his face had faded. He smiled and said, "This tea is good, isn't it? You drank several cups. If you like it, I'll ask your mother to bring you some when you leave."

…

It was an hour later when the father and son came downstairs.

Seeing that Yao Wei's face was calm, without any anger and intimidation, Yao Man was delighted and ran over to hug his arm.

"Dad, He Zheng agrees to a divorce, right?"

Yao Wei glanced at her, sighed, and patted her hand. "We can't get a divorce. I can't persuade him, and it's too late. Now everyone knows that he and Wen Ruan got married. It's spread all over the circle."

Yao Man was stunned for a moment, "Has it spread throughout the circle?"

How is it possible? She had never heard of this before He Zheng took out the marriage certificate tonight. If it really spread, how could she not know about it!

Yao Man turned to look at Wen Ruan, who shrugged at her, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

It has indeed spread.

On the way here, He Zheng took a photo of the marriage certificate, posted it on his Moments, and also sent it to his WeChat groups, asking the brothers in the group to spread it quickly, saying that it would be more certain to force Yao Wei to accept it by acting first and asking for permission later.

She just checked her phone.

He Zheng’s brother groups are really awesome. Her marriage certificate has started to spread like wildfire in several of her WeChat groups.

It was already surprising that the two of them went from being sworn enemies to her joining Minghe. Now that they have gotten their marriage certificate, the gossip-loving groups have exploded. Many people have come to ask her about it, and her WeChat screen is full of unread messages.

Especially Lin Yue, who kept bombarding her with emoticons.

The Yao family’s first reunion dinner did not take place.

Yao Wei treated He Zheng very well and occasionally talked to Wen Ruan, saying that since they had already obtained the marriage certificate, she was the daughter-in-law of the Yao family and that past events would not be held accountable.

Although his attitude was not very good, he acknowledged Wen Ruan's identity in his words and deeds.

Yao Man couldn't stand it anymore and flipped the table. "In this family, there's Wen Ruan but not me! There's me but not Wen Ruan!"

She ran back to her room and slammed the door.

The restaurant was a mess, with tables full of food. Everyone was caught off guard and had vegetable juice and soup splashed all over their bodies.

Wen Ruan was taken into a room by the servant. When she was changing clothes, the bathroom door was pushed open and someone hugged her from behind. She thought it was He Zheng and was about to speak when she suddenly felt something was wrong.
