Chapter 106 Her biological father

Her biological father

There is a restaurant in the city that specializes in North City cuisine. It is luxuriously decorated and high-end, with an average consumption of over 3,000 yuan per person.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, in a private room on the second floor, Wen Ruan handed the menu to Ruan Hao sitting opposite him.

"You've been here for so long, and I, your blood sister, haven't treated you to a meal yet. This restaurant is the most expensive in Haicheng for North City cuisine. That's quite sincere, isn't it?"

Seeing that Ruan Hao didn't take it, she put it on the table and pushed it towards him, "No need to save me money."

Ruan Hao still didn't take the menu. He stared at Wen Ruan, "When did you know?"

From the moment he hung up the phone until now, Ruan Hao has been in a state of tension. When he heard that Ruan was going to treat him to a meal, he arrived half an hour early and had been thinking about it the whole time.

When did Wen Ruan find out that they had the same father?

Did she know from the beginning? Impossible, it didn't seem like that before. Did Ni Fei tell her? Impossible too, he had already promised to give Ni Fei the sports car he had just bought a while ago. Ni Fei loved cars like her life, there was no way she would betray him.

So he was exposed? When was it exposed?

The waiter was still waiting nearby. Wen Ruan knocked on the table and said, "Order first. I didn't have lunch and I'm starving."

Ruan Hao was stunned for a moment before he took the menu from the table and asked, "Why didn't you eat lunch? Are you trying to lose weight?"

Wen Ruan perfunctorily said, "Yes, lose weight."

Zhang Tongtong sent a message asking if she had time to meet up for dinner this weekend. Wen Ruan replied: "You decide the time and place. I'm always available."

Ruan Hao heard her perfunctory attitude and didn't ask any more questions. He lowered his head and marked a few dishes. After the waiter left with the menu and closed the door, he couldn't wait to ask Wen Ruan again.

"So when did you find out?"

Wen Ruan raised his left hand and faced his palm towards him. The wound had healed, but a little mark could still be seen. The doctor said it would not leave a scar and would heal after the summer.

"On the day I fought with Yao Man and the others, an elder came running over from behind. I called her Auntie Lan. She's my mom's best friend. She said you look exactly like your dad when he was young."

"Auntie Lan knew everything about what happened between my mom and your dad. She tried to get me to tell her something, and I tried to get her to tell me something."

Ruan Hao recalled carefully.

Elder? Aunt Lan?

There seemed to be such a person at that time, and the way the aunt looked at him was indeed very strange, but he didn't think much about it at the time. When he saw Wen Ruan being bullied badly, his mind was full of fighting.

Wen Ruan picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

"Now it's my turn to ask you. Aunt Lan said your father didn't know I existed. How did you know?"

She laid her cards on the table directly, and Ruan Hao no longer hid anything.

"Two years ago, my grandmother was hospitalized due to a relapse of her old illness. When I went to the hospital to see her, I heard her talking to my aunt."

At that time, there were only my grandmother and my aunt in the ward. My aunt's original words were:

"Mom, guess who I saw last month? The daughter Wen Hui'an gave birth to my eldest brother."

"I saw her at a friend's company. She looks so much like her mother. I asked my friend about her, and he said she was from Rongli Capital in Haicheng and was doing due diligence. Her name is Wen Ruan."

"I had someone check, and Wen Ruan is the same Wen Si Ruan you did the paternity test for back then. Mom, it's not that I want to make you unhappy, I just feel that Big Brother is quite pitiful."

"After he divorced Wen Hui'an, I haven't seen him smile. He was completely focused on work. He even went out to do work. Actually, it's not all Wen Hui'an's fault for what happened back then. She didn't want to be born into that family."

"I heard that those troublemakers in her family are gone, and she lives with her daughter. She didn't remarry back then, and she lied to Big Brother. Mom, why don't you give in and let Big Brother meet Wen Hui'an again. Let them decide whether they can remarry."

"Even if they don't remarry, Wen Ruan is still Big Brother's daughter. Big Brother has the right to know. I've also had someone investigate Wen Ruan. She's a very good child."

"And if you're not thinking about anything else, you should also think about Haohao. Big brother has a problem in his heart. He's serious with everyone, and even stricter with Haohao. If Big brother can resolve his problem, he'll be happy, and it will be better for Haohao."

After my aunt said this, my grandmother got very angry, smashed the medicine cup in her hand, and yelled at my aunt.

"Unless I die, there's no chance for your brother and that woman surnamed Wen to be together in this life! If you tell this to your brother, or go to Haicheng to find someone surnamed Wen again, I'll be pissed off to death!"

Ruan Hao was shocked by his aunt's words at the time. He was stunned and was frightened by his grandmother's shout.

He was holding flowers that he was going to give to his grandmother, but they fell to the ground, exposing himself.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, grandma told him about his father's marriage and divorce. She didn't tell him the details, but the main idea was:

Wen Ruan and her daughter are greedy and vulgar. They are like vampires and locusts that cannot be driven away once you get involved with them. Whoever gets involved with them will be unlucky.

He secretly asked his aunt again, but his aunt was afraid that it would really make his grandmother angry, so she just sighed and told him not to ask anything.

…

In the box, Wen Ruan listened to Ruan Hao's words with a calm expression and said nothing.

It is normal that Ruan Hao's grandmother doesn't like them. Aunt Lan said that the old lady was pushed down the stairs by her conscienceless vampire uncle, and she was admitted to the ICU several times and almost died.

Putting aside the distance in family background, just for this reason alone, the old lady would never accept my mother.

When the dishes came, Wen Ruan took a few bites to fill his stomach before looking at Ruan Hao opposite him.

"So, what are you doing in Haicheng? Do you want to see how we are doing, mother and daughter?"

She thought that since Ruan Hao came to Minghe, he would give her expensive gifts from time to time and often showed off his wealth.

Then he added, "Or maybe your grandmother told you that we were greedy, and you had nothing better to do than come all the way here to humiliate me?"

She had a smile on her lips, her voice was calm, and she didn't look angry.

But Ruan Hao had been with her for a while, and he was around her every day as her assistant, so he could sensitively sense that she was not very happy.

"I didn't intend to come. It was at the end of last year when I saw the video of Rong Li's celebration banquet. That's when I asked Ni Fei to help investigate you. I—"

"Wait a minute!"

Wen Ruan suddenly looked up and interrupted him in surprise, "Ni Fei? Ni Fei is involved too?"

Ruan Hao realized belatedly that he had exposed Ni Fei, but it was too late to take it back. Since things had come to this point, he simply confessed everything.

"Yes, Ni Fei's mother is my cousin, so he and I are cousins. I have to call him cousin."

He looked at Wen Ruan and said, "He has to call you cousin."

Wen Ruan sighed. Ni Fei was quite awesome, a movie emperor, and she didn't even notice it.

After taking a sip of soup, Wen Ruan returned to the previous topic, "You let Ni Fei investigate me, and then what?"

Ruan Hao said, "He investigated you and your mother. The information he gave me was different from what grandma told me. I was really curious, so I came here."

In fact, he was still influenced by a word from his aunt.

——The eldest brother has a knot in his heart, and he is serious with everyone, and even stricter with Haohao. If the eldest brother can resolve the knot in his heart, he will be happy and will be nicer to Haohao.

He wanted to come and see what was bothering his father and to personally resolve it.

If my father is happy, can I be nicer to him?

This reason was a bit awkward and also a bit hurtful to his self-esteem, so he would not tell Wen Ruan that although he had a father and many relatives, his childhood was not much better than hers.

When all the dishes were served, Ruan Hao pointed at the braised shark's fin and said, "Try this. When you go to North City, I'll take you to eat the most authentic one."

Wen Ruan took a look, but didn't move his chopsticks. He smiled and said, "Going to North City? What for in North City? Take me to see your dad?"

Ruan Hao pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he looked at her, as if he had made a big decision.

"Grandma hates you guys more than anything else, so it's a little difficult for her. But if you really want to see Father, I can arrange it."

Wen Ruan slowly chewed the beef in his mouth and swallowed it.

"I don't want to see you anymore, and you shouldn't waste your time here. Go back to North City in a couple of days, and don't come again. Just pretend we've never met."

The accident that happened to Grandma Ruan Hao had created an abyss that could not be crossed between my mother and Ruan Chengdong. It was fine like this now. If they got entangled again, and the old lady got angry and something happened to her, my mother would never forgive herself in her life.

She no longer needs a father.

Seeing her resolute attitude and no room for negotiation, Ruan Hao knew that she really didn't want to see him. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped, and finally uttered a word.

"I told my family I'll be away for two months and won't be back until early September."

At the beginning of September, with only a month left, Wen Ruan went with him.

In the middle of the meal, Ruan Hao went to the bathroom and heard Ruan's phone ringing. He picked it up and took a look. It was Lin Yue's "laughing" emoticons that were flooding the screen.

Wen Ruan: [???]

Lin Yue: [Haha, the investment funds were taken away. I heard Gao Peng also ran away. The 800 million yuan is probably not going to be returned. Yao Tianyu was furious and rushed to the group to find his father this afternoon.]

Lin Yue: [I heard from my uncle that Yao Tianyu was so angry that he cried. He said Rongli Capital couldn't withstand Yao Man's torment. If she continued to do this, she would go bankrupt.]

Lin Yue: [Yao Tianyu was smart this time, having several major shareholders jointly file a lawsuit against Yao Wei. To appease public anger, Yao Wei has already agreed. Yao Tianyu just returned and immediately sent someone to help Yao Man pack up her things.]

Lin Yue: [How cool! I finally don't have to serve the young lady every day anymore.]

Wen Ruan had just finished reading the message when a bell rang in the box, a very passionate English song.

Ruan Hao’s cell phone. He didn’t bring his cell phone with him when he went out.

Wen Ruan glanced at the screen and saw the note "Beauty Ling".

This note...girlfriend?

Wen Ruan thought Ruan Hao should be back soon, so she didn't answer the phone for him. As a result, the phone rang three times in succession, but Ruan Hao still didn't come back.

The fourth time, Wen Ruan took it.

She was about to speak when a voice called out, "Brother, why did you snatch my phone?"

Then, a deep and steady voice came from the phone, "Having a blast outside? You're not even coming home?"

The voice was dignified without being angry, and even through the screen one could sense a hint of displeasure and seriousness. "Your grandma is sick. Come back tomorrow."

Wen Ruan probably guessed who he was.

Ruan Chengdong, her biological father.

She was still silent, and the other end's tone was a little impatient, "Speak, are you mute?"

Ruan Hao said that he came to Haicheng secretly. He told his family that he was going to France for a trip. It should be one o'clock in the afternoon in France now, which is lunch time.

So Wen Ruan explained to him in fluent French.

"I'm sorry, the owner of the phone just had lunch here and forgot his phone. He's on his way back. I'll pass it on to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened and Ni Fei's loud voice hit her eardrums.

"Sister! Ruan Hao really doesn't blame me for this. He just asked me to check on you, he didn't say he was coming to Haicheng! I didn't know he would come to Haicheng until I saw him in Minghe..."

When Wen Ruan came back to his senses, his first reaction was to hang up the phone.
