Because of Ruan Tang's disobedience, Ruan Ming's face suddenly turned ugly: "Rumors may not be true. Besides, no matter how violent and eccentric the Duke of Austin is, there is no rumor in the entire Imperial Star that he tortured the people around him... Those Omegas who were scared crazy were just timid."
"You are the son of the Ruan family, and you are his partner recognized by the Emperor, Empress, and himself. As long as you don't commit suicide and deliberately provoke and anger him, he can't hurt you at all."
What he meant was exactly the same as the stupid statement that those who get raped are because they are wearing too little.
Ruan Tang looked at him coldly.
Ruan Ming also sneered: "Besides, my son, since you chose to come back today and stand here, it means that you have acquiesced to this marriage, right? Otherwise, you would have run away with that young Alpha long ago..."
He told Ruan Tang bluntly that he knew everything about Lu Yang's invitation to elope today and Ruan Tang's choice to refuse.
Ruan Ming is a man of deep scheming and has never been a kind person. In his eyes, Ruan Tang, his disliked Omega son, is never a simple and kind little cutie.
On the contrary, in his eyes, Ruan Tang was simply the epitome of an ambitious and sinister Omega.
From the moment Ruan Tang chose not to elope with the young man, in Ruan Ming's eyes, the disheartened, sarcastic and unwilling Ruan Tang showed in front of him were just a disguise and a bargaining chip in the negotiations with him.
Being so shrewd and calculating, he would not be fooled by Ruan Tang.
"Father, do you think that on the Imperial Star...if I want to elope, can I really run away?" Ruan Tang lowered her eyes and looked at her toes, and sneered out loud.
Since the Ruan family has spread the word that they will form an alliance with the Duke of Austin, there is absolutely no way they will let their marriage partner get away.
Ruan Tang knew this all too well.
Ruan Ming did not respond to his question, but directly said: "The crown prince has just passed away. Duke Austin is the only son of His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress. The royal family has promised that as long as you can give birth to a child with Duke Austin, the child will become the first heir to the throne."
The Ruan family was already a noble family and did not want to get involved in this mess. They sold their own son for fame and fortune and gave their own son to a lunatic.
But the Queen's family persuaded the Emperor and offered such benefits that Ruan Ming had no choice but to sell his son.
In the face of such huge interests involved in the family, the personal happiness of an unfavored son has long been nothing.
Moreover, in his eyes, Ruan Tang's reputation was so bad that it was impossible for her to find a better Alpha...
It would be better to make the best use of everything and sacrifice more thoroughly for the family's interests.
"Ruan Tang, you should be content." Ruan Ming said calmly.
He was ambitious, and in his eyes, Ruan Tang was equally ambitious. He felt that the identity of the future crown prince's biological father should at least force Ruan Tang to put aside his greedy thoughts.
"If Duke Austin and I have a child in the future, he will be the first in line to the throne..." Ruan Tang looked at him steadily and sneered, "It sounds very tempting indeed."
"But my dear father, don't forget - these are family interests, transactions between you and the Queen's family. What does it have to do with me?"
Ruan Tang looked at him coldly. She had been hurt so many times that she was already indestructible. "Why should I risk my life and sacrifice my whole life for these things?"
Few normal people would choose to marry a psychopath, right?
He didn't have any great spirit of sacrifice and dedication, and he didn't have the slightest affection for the cold and ruthless Ruan family. If he was asked to sacrifice for this family without regrets...
Sorry, he can't do it.
If Ruan Ming wants him to sacrifice, he must pay the corresponding price.
Ruan Ming looked at him coldly, his face turning slightly blue with anger.
After a long while, considering the interests and implications behind it, although he still hated Ruan Tang's greed, he took a deep breath and made concessions: "What do you want?"
Among his five Omega children, the only legitimate children are Ruan Xi and Ruan Tang, and the eldest daughter who went crazy.
Ruan Xi has a lot of good resources, and any random marriage can bring considerable benefits to the family, so she cannot be ruined. The eldest daughter was not only a lunatic, but she had also been married twice and had children, so she was not allowed to marry the Duke of Austin.
In addition, Ruan Tang has the best appearance and his pheromones are most compatible with Austin, making it most likely that the madman will take possession of him and mark him as someone he wants to have a child with.
After all the calculations, Ruan Tang is the most suitable marriage partner among his sons.
Ruan Tang felt a little ridiculous about her father's concession.
Ridiculous, but not unexpected.
Ruan Tang took out a piece of agreement from his briefcase and pushed it in front of Ruan Ming: "This is what I want."
After knowing Ruan Ming's plan, Ruan Tang had already accurately predicted Ruan Ming's bottom line and was ready to ask for what their family deserved and sell himself for a good price.
Born and raised in such a family, Ruan Tang does not believe in love or Alpha.
However, due to being a rare Omega, he knew that the imperial government and the Ruan family would not allow him to remain single forever. In addition, the inhibitors were becoming less and less effective for him, so he knew that he might have to enter into a marriage and be tied to an Alpha.
This forced him to make a choice.
As for what kind of person his marriage partner will be like, whether he is a madman, a fool, an ugly or disabled person... Ruan Tang doesn't care at all. He only knows that as long as he can achieve his goal through this marriage, it will be fine.
"Ruan Tang, you are too greedy, aren't you?" Ruan Ming took a look at what Ruan Tang asked for in the agreement and his face turned pale.
As soon as Ruan Tang opened his mouth, he not only wanted to take away most of the Ruan family's current working capital, but also many fixed assets and planetary resources.
He has so many children, how could he let Ruan Tang take so much by himself?
"Are you greedy?" Ruan Tang looked at him coldly, but spoke word by word: "Please look carefully, these assets are from the foundation I set up for my mother and my elder brother and sister. I hope you will donate them. I personally don't want a penny..."
"Mother married you when your family fell into poverty. You had nothing at that time. It was she who took out all her savings and all the belongings of my grandfather to accompany you to start from scratch. She suffered countless hardships, and only then did you have the family business you have today..."
"And big brother, when you led the troops to fight, he was always the one who rushed to the front and fought bloody battles for you and the empire, fighting one against a hundred... Without him, how could you, Marshal, have such great military achievements today?"
"...Big sister, you were the one who separated her from her beloved, forced her to marry for the sake of the family, and forced her to have an abortion, divorce, and sever all ties with her husband after something happened in his family...You drove her crazy and ruined her life."
When Ruan Ming heard Ruan Tang mention his first wife and eldest son and daughter, his face suddenly turned pale and purple and looked unsightly.
He is a typical straight A cancer. In his eyes, Omega is just an appendage of Alpha, just a toy. But the eldest son and daughter were different to him. Ruan Tang’s eldest brother and sister were nearly twenty years older than all the children that Ruan Ming had later. They were truly born when Ruan Ming had nothing.
At that time, the family was in financial difficulty, the house was small and they couldn't afford a servant. The two children really grew up under Ruan Ming's nose, and Ruan Ming had very different feelings towards them.
As his eldest son and daughter met with accidents one after another, Ruan Ming felt that he was more heartbroken than anyone else and was burning with anger.
As he did not want to recall the miserable state of his eldest son and daughter, Ruan Ming could not bear to look at them again after he was sure that there was no possibility of their improvement. As for the entire Ruan family, he did not want anyone to mention the miserable state of his eldest son and daughter.
But Ruan Tang mentioned it to him again and again -
She wanted to win his sympathy by doing this, but how could he like his son with such unpleasant behavior?
Ruan Tang saw the hidden pain in his eyes, but she just thought it was ridiculous. After her elder brother and sister got into trouble, they had been at home ever since. It was true that Ruan Ming gave them the best medical care, but he had not set foot in the main house to see his so-called 'favorite' children for twenty years.
Why should I pretend to be a fatherly lover to such a person?
Ruan Tang sneered and pressed on: "Mother is your first wife. Considering the contributions that elder brother and elder sister have made to our Ruan family, I think it wouldn't be too much to ask for half of your property, let alone these things for them, right?"
"After all, you love them so much, you shouldn't even blink an eye..."
"Besides, aren't you going to sell me out now in exchange for greater benefits for the family? Why be stingy with such a small thing?" Ruan Tang sneered.
Veins bulged on Ruan Ming's forehead as he thought of his outstanding eldest son and daughter, and then looked at the disobedient and unfilial Ruan Tang in front of him.
After a long period of weighing the interests, he finally made concessions and signed various property transfer documents with legal effect as requested by Ruan Tang.
He looked at Ruan Tang coldly: "Are you satisfied now?"
"Thank you, father. I will follow your orders and marry the Duke of Austin, but - I have one request." After winning this tug-of-war and seeing that the future of her mother and siblings was guaranteed, the smile on Ruan Tang's face finally became more sincere.
Ruan Ming, who already looked unhappy, immediately became furious when he heard this: "Why do you still have requests?"
The lion opened its mouth as if to rebuke Ruan Tang.
He wanted to take away so many things, but he was still greedy.
"I want to take my mother and my older brother and sister away from the Ruan family." However, Ruan Tang smiled this time but did not ask for too much.
Ruan Ming's face turned even gloomier than when he asked for money, as if Ruan Tang had done something extremely treasonous. He slammed the table so hard that everything on the desk shook. "They are my wife and children!"
Ruan Tang wanted to take them away from the Ruan family. What a joke.
Do you want to slap him in the face in front of everyone in the Imperial Star?
"Mother is no longer your wife. Your current wife is Ms. Xia Ruzhi." Ruan Tang smiled coldly: "It is true that my elder brother and elder sister are your children, but since their accident, in the past twenty years... have you ever taken care of them for a day or visited them?"
"In that case, why do you insist on keeping them?" He knew that Ruan Ming was only doing this for his own face.
Ruan Ming's face turned pale and blue.
Ruan Tang got what she wanted and no longer wanted to argue with him. She waved the property transfer document in her hand and said, "You have already given what should have been given to my mother and brothers and sisters. You have countless children and Omegas, but I only have this one mother and brother and sister..."
"I'm leaving the Ruan family soon. I'm really afraid that if I leave, I won't be able to watch over them anymore. They might be harmed by others without anyone knowing... Since you've given me the money, I believe that even if outsiders know that mother and brothers and sisters are no longer in the Ruan family, no one will blame you..." At this moment, Ruan Tang spoke the truth.
He looked at Ruan Ming calmly: "In order to make me feel at ease, you might as well let our family leave."
Having said that, after thinking about it carefully, I feel that the situation is just as Ruan Tang said... I have given so much property, even if the original wife and her children leave the Ruan family, no one can blame me for abandoning my wife, and I feel guilty about my two children who sacrificed for the family, and it will not affect my reputation.
Ruan Ming no longer resisted Ruan Tang's insistence on taking his mother and siblings away. He just sneered: "How could the Ruan family have such a dirty thing? Don't judge others by your own mean heart..."
Although he said this, Ruan Tang immediately understood that his implication was that he agreed to let her take her mother and siblings away.
He looked at Ruan Ming meekly with sincere eyes and responded, "Thank you, father."
Ruan Tang didn't care that her biological father ridiculed her as a villain. She just wanted her family of four to leave the Ruan family and live their own lives.
