Chapter 198 Extra: Ruan Mengsheng 5
Ruan Mengsheng hid his broken heart, washed his face, and returned to the ward.
Not long after, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside, and Ruan Muxi walked into the ward in her high heels.
She closed the door casually, turned around and stared at Ruan Mengsheng angrily, as if she wanted to take a bite out of her.
"Ruan Mengsheng! What's so good about you? Brother Chen even ignored Uncle Ji's words for you!"
"Don't be so complacent! No matter how cruel Brother Chen is, he won't really break up with his parents! Just wait to be abandoned by Brother Chen!"
When Ruan Mengsheng heard her almost hysterical voice, she subconsciously looked towards her grandfather.
Seeing that grandpa didn't react, she was relieved that he was not disturbed by her, but also a little disappointed.
She really didn't know whether her grandfather would be able to wake up in the last month.
In Ruan Muxi's eyes, this scene was Ruan Mengsheng trying to seek the old man's protection.
She thought of how the old man had protected this woman in the past, and now seeing the old man lying there motionless, she felt relieved.
"Ruan Mengsheng, don't think that you can avoid being kicked out of the Ruan family just by pleasing Grandpa!"
"It's a question whether Grandpa can wake up. Even if he does, the company has already belonged to our family! There's nothing he can do!"
From the moment Ruan Mengsheng left the Ruan family, he no longer considered Ruan Yongfu's family as relatives.
Listening to Ruan Muxi's meaningless words, she felt no ripples in her heart, and even felt it was noisy.
Ruan Mengsheng raised her eyes. "Are you done? If there's nothing else, please leave."
Ruan Muxi wanted to tear her calm appearance apart, her voice was sharp.
"Why should I leave?! Ruan Mengsheng, you are the one who should leave! You are an orphan without a father or a mother, how can you have the nerve to stay here..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a bang on the ward door.
The other party was a big man. He opened the door without their consent and shouted loudly:
"Are you done yet? This is a hospital, not your home! If you have something to say, go back home and say it! Don't make such a fuss here!"
Ruan Muxi subconsciously shrank her neck when she saw the other person's tall and strong physique.
Looking at Ruan Mengsheng's calm face again, she suddenly thought of what those people said when comparing her and Ruan Mengsheng.
They were all daughters raised by the Ruan family, so why did Ruan Mengsheng, an adopted daughter, always have to put her above him?!
When Ruan Muxi thought of this, she looked at Ruan Mengsheng with resentment.
She was afraid that the big man would get angry and hit her, so she didn't dare to say anything more and left in shame.
No one noticed that the old man's fingers moved on the hospital bed and a tear slowly flowed from the corner of his eye.
——
Mr. Ruan woke up, and not only that, he looked radiant, as if he had fully recovered overnight.
The doctor did not retract his previous diagnosis. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the old man's condition was a last-ditch effort before death.
The first thing Mr. Ruan did after waking up was to ask Ruan Mengsheng, who was guarding him, to contact his assistant.
The assistant brought a lawyer as instructed by the old man.
When Ruan Yongfu's family received a call from the nurse and rushed to the hospital, the lawyer had just come out of the old man's ward.
Ruan Yongfu looked at Ruan Mengsheng who was standing at the door, with a look of suspicion and a hint of ruthlessness in it.
If Ruan Mengsheng dared to say anything in front of the old man...
The assistant left the ward and turned to Ruan Mengsheng, saying, "Miss, the chairman wants to see you."
Ruan Muxi was indignant, "She's not even a member of our Ruan family, how can she be called a young lady?!"
The assistant had heard a long time ago that the second branch of the Ruan family had announced the eldest daughter's background and kicked her out.
He frowned slightly, but decided to pretend he heard nothing.
After thanking him, Ruan Mengsheng turned and went into the ward.
Ruan Yongfu and his family behind her completely ignored the assistant and followed her in.
Old Master Ruan was lying on the bed, his bony arms tremblingly raised towards Ruan Mengsheng, as if he had something to say to her.
Ruan Mengsheng walked over and held his grandfather's hand.
She squatted down in front of the bed and lowered her voice, "Grandpa, what do you want to tell me?"
Old Master Ruan looked at the bruises under her eyes and met her red eyes, but suddenly couldn't say what he wanted to say.
During the time he was ill, he would occasionally regain some consciousness and be able to hear other people talking.
The nurse hired by the second wife cursed the second wife in private, saying that the second wife was not as filial as Ah Sheng and did not visit the old man. She also deducted half of her salary as a nurse because Ah Sheng was taking care of him.
And his little granddaughter was bossing Ah Sheng around and even said that she had kicked Ah Sheng out of the Ruan family!
He's not dead yet! They treat him like he's dead!
Old Master Ruan was so angry that his whole body began to tremble. He glared at Ruan Yongfu.
This good son of his killed his eldest son and his wife, and now he even doesn't let the helpless Ah Sheng go!
He would not stop until he had driven this well-behaved and obedient granddaughter out of the Ruan family and forced her into a desperate situation!
He used to be afraid that Ah Sheng would fight for those things, but now, he is afraid that Ah Sheng will not fight for anything!
When he is gone, there will be no one to protect his granddaughter, and she will be bullied by these ambitious people!
Old Master Ruan looked at Ruan Mengsheng again, his eyes filled with guilt.
People are all made of flesh and blood. He watched this child grow up, how could he not have any feelings for him?
For the sake of his younger son, he concealed the true cause of death of his eldest son and his wife, leaving her as an orphan.
For the sake of his youngest son, he was always on guard against her trying to grab shares.
In the end, the child got nothing, and even the engagement was broken off by those opportunistic villains!
Old Master Ruan tried to hold Ruan Mengsheng's hand tightly.
He pursed his lips and said with all his strength, "A Sheng..." Live well.
Before the old voice fell, the old man's eyes lost their spirit, and the hand that was holding Ruan Mengsheng loosened as if he had lost strength.
Ruan Mengsheng watched the old man die, and her heart felt like it was suddenly dug out, and the pain was so severe that it made her numb.
She squatted beside the bed in a daze, her vision of the old man becoming blurred, and then she realized that she was crying.
"dad!"
Ruan Yongfu ran to the other side, grabbed Mr. Ruan's other hand, and burst into tears.
Ruan Muxi came to Ruan Mengsheng, said "Get out of the way", and pulled her away forcefully.
She took that position, then lay down on the head of the bed and began to cry for the old man.
Ruan Mengsheng was immersed in pain and was not on guard.
She staggered to her feet and looked at the old man's face. More than ten years of memories flashed through her mind like a kaleidoscope, finally stopping at the scene of her grandfather's death.
From then on, the only relative she cared about, the only relative who loved her, was gone.
——
After Mr. Ruan’s funeral, Ruan Mengsheng left L City.
She arrived at the airport and when she took her first step, she felt an invisible force that seemed to be hindering her progress.
But when she actually took that step, it seemed as if something broke open, and she had the freedom that she had never dared to dream of in the first half of her life.
