Chapter 14: Each with His Own Agenda
The news that the engagement party between the Mo family and the Ruan family did not go ahead successfully instantly swept across the entire City A, and even attracted great attention across the country.
The major wealthy families not only lamented the imminent fate of the Ruan family, but were also looking forward to whether Mo Yuting, the head of the Mo family, would choose another fiancée next.
In less than three days, the Mohists had the answer revealed to the world.
Du Fei, Mo Yuting's assistant who was the messenger, directly released the news, stating that Mo Yuting would not cancel the engagement with Ruan Meng, but the Ruan family's behavior had made the Mo family lose face, and the Mo family would definitely "do something".
When Mo's "action" came out, Ruan's stocks instantly fell to the bottom, and the Ruan's villa was also filled with gloom and desolation.
When the noble families that Ruan Xiang and Ruan Qiu were on good terms with all of them treated them half-heartedly and refused to visit them, Ruan Xiang, who put his own interests first, could no longer bear it.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!" Ruan Xiang, the head of the Ruan family, smashed the phone in his hand fiercely, and his poisonous eyes immediately shot towards Mrs. Ruan: "Where is Ruan Meng? Could it be that she is dead and her body is missing? What bad luck!"
"Hubby, if I knew where she was, I would have tied her up and brought her to Master Mo a long time ago. How could I possibly protect that little bitch?"
Ruan Xiang and his wife did not behave like Ruan Meng's parents at all. Instead, they acted like enemies, which made Ruan Meng's elder sister Ruan Qiu feel that it was a little too much.
"Ruan Meng has been away from home for more than a year. We didn't send anyone to look for her at the beginning. It's normal that we can't find her temporarily. Let's think about the present situation!"
Three years ago, Ruan Meng, who was supposed to be a sophomore but secretly took a leave of absence in her freshman year, suddenly brought back a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. Ruan Xiang and his wife almost killed the two children.
Thanks to Ruan Meng's desperate efforts to protect the children, she was able to raise them in the Ruan family until they were one year old. But she never expected that the two children would be lost inexplicably.
Since then, Ruan Meng has been looking for her two children everywhere and no longer returns to the Ruan family easily.
The last time Ruan Qiu saw Ruan Meng was a year ago. By then, Ruan Meng was no longer as lively and cheerful as she was in her youth, but was numb and empty.
Ruan Xiang immediately began to think of countermeasures after hearing what his eldest daughter said, but the selfish Mrs. Ruan changed the subject: "Ruan Wei, didn't you say that the head of the Mo family looks at you differently? Then what happened at the engagement party?"
If Ruan Wei had not said that she had met the head of the Mo family several times, Ruan Xiang and his wife would not have agreed to Ruan Wei taking control of the situation and trying to replace Ruan Meng to marry into the Mo family.
"Mother, you saw what happened yesterday. If I had brought up our original plan under those circumstances, it would probably have aroused suspicion from the head of the Mo family." Ruan Wei lowered her head slightly, her tone full of humility and sincerity.
"Heh!" Mrs. Ruan raised a disdainful smile at the corner of her mouth. She did not take the explanation of this "adopted daughter" seriously. Who knew whether it was true or false?
Mrs. Ruan didn't believe what Ruan Wei said, but Ruan Xiang was quite concerned.
As Ruan Meng's family, it is not easy for them to replace the elder sister with a younger sister in front of everyone, but what if they try it secretly?
Ruan Xiang and Ruan Qiu, who were hiding in the private room upstairs yesterday, actually saw Mo Yuting's eyes slightly tilted because of Ruan Wei's "performance".
He pondered for a moment and decided that it was worth a try.
"Xiao Qiu, why don't we take Xiao Wei with us to apologize to the head of the Mo family?"
As the next heir of the Ruan family, Ruan Qiu immediately understood Ruan Xiang's idea, but she denied it without thinking: "I don't think it's appropriate!"
"Why?" Ruan Wei was the first to ask the question. Fortunately, other people didn't have time to pay attention to her, so they didn't notice her unnaturalness.
"Based on Master Mo's performance at the engagement party, he doesn't care about our Ruan family at all. He only cares about the engagement his mother left for him."
