Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Then You Have to Get Pregnant First
The deserted forest road seemed endless. Up ahead, a patrol car stopped next to Ruan Xiangyi. The security guard asked her what she was doing. After Ruan Xiangyi answered, the security guard said, "Little girl, this is a dedicated lane for vehicles. You're going the wrong way. You can't get out."
Ruan Xiangyi stood there in a daze. At this time, Zhao Qingshi's car drove up. She looked at the car behind her in despair. The people in the patrol car recognized Zhao Qingshi and stopped immediately.
After the patrol car drove away, Ruan Xiangyi backed up. Zhao Qingshi seemed to be waiting for her deliberately. When she approached, he lowered the window and asked her through the passenger seat with an uninformed look, "What's going on?"
"Boss Zhao." Ruan Xiangyi smiled, flexible and adaptable. "Can you give me a ride out? Just let me go to the door. I can drop me off when you get there. I won't cause you any trouble. Is that okay with you?"
She originally thought Zhao Qingshi would embarrass her because of the harsh words he just said, but unexpectedly he said straightforwardly: "Get in the car."
Ruan Xiangyi understood the principle of "one should be grateful to someone for what he has done for you, and when he has eaten his food, he will be soft-hearted." After the car drove out of the gate, she saw that he had not stopped and quickly said, "Mr. Zhao, I can get off here. I won't bother you."
Zhao Qingshi ignored her and drove a distance away before asking, "Do you want to live in the school or go back to the Ruan family?"
"Mr. Zhao, I can go back by myself. There's really no need to trouble you."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you back to where you were just now."
Ruan Xiangyi knew better and kept her mouth shut.
"address."
Ruan Xiangyi reported the address of the school.
After driving for a while, she couldn't hold on and fell asleep. She had been working all day and was too nervous, so her body was already exhausted.
The car was speeding on the road, and the shadows of the lights kept flashing across her face. Zhao Qingshi glanced at her and saw that her neck was twisted in discomfort, so he casually adjusted her chair to a comfortable angle.
Ruan Xiangyi slept very soundly. When she woke up, she heard someone talking on the phone. She woke up in a daze and just heard the end of the call.
"Well, I have something to do right now. Let's talk when I get back." Zhao Qingshi hung up the phone and saw that the person had woken up, so he kindly reminded him, "Your phone rang twice just now."
"Thank you." Ruan Xiangyi was looking for her phone in a daze. It was strange because she had just put it on her lap. Finally, she found it in the glove compartment. She opened the interface and found that Shen Huaimeng had called her twice. He usually wouldn't call her at this time, so he must have something to do. Ruan Xiangyi called back.
The phone rang for a long time. Ruan Xiangyi called twice before it was connected. The background noise on the other end was very loud.
"Brother, what's the matter with you calling me?"
"Xiangyi, are you busy?"
"Brother, I'm not busy." As expected, he was busy.
There was silence for a moment.
"Then why did you hang up on me twice just now?"
"I didn't..." Ruan Xiangyi subconsciously said no, but then she thought...
She turned her head to look at Zhao Qingshi and whispered, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I just fell asleep and my colleague hung up for me."
The voice on the phone was different from usual, so Ruan Xiangyi asked, "Brother, it's so noisy over there, are you still out there?"
"Yeah, I'm singing with my friends." Shen Huaimeng fell on the sofa and took off his glasses to relieve his headache. "Xiangyi, can you come pick me up?"
Ruan Xiangyi: "What?"
Shen Huaimeng: "I miss you so much."
Ruan Xiangyi almost couldn't hold the phone.
"Can you come?" he continued.
Ruan Xiangyi touched her flushed face and said nervously, "Then...Brother, give me the address and I'll come over now."
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Xiangyi let out a sigh, unable to calm down after hearing his words "I miss you so much".
"Mr. Zhao, could you please put me down in front later?" Ruan Xiangyi looked at him and spoke cautiously, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at the TV station."
Zhao Qingshi remained silent. After a few encounters, Ruan Xiangyi found him difficult to understand. When he didn't speak, she wasn't sure if he hadn't heard her or if he had other intentions. This left her feeling torn. She mentally prepared herself and was about to speak.
With a brake, Zhao Qingshi stopped on the side of the road.
Ruan Xiangyi smiled and said, "Thank you."
Just as she was about to open the door and get out of the car, Zhao Qingshi called her. Ruan Xiangyi stopped and her smile froze: "Is there anything else you need?"
"I suddenly remembered that you hold two secrets of mine in your hands." He looked at her slowly and brought it up again.
"Don't worry, I really won't tell anyone," Ruan Xiangyi promised again. To show her sincerity, she felt through her bag. She found only a student ID and a work ID. She handed over her student ID and said, "I can leave it with you. I'll take it back after your wedding. Is that okay with you?"
"But there is a problem now." He said without answering.
"Is...is there a problem?" Ruan Xiangyi's heart was beating fast.
"You seem to need me to keep it a secret even more."
"You...why do you suddenly say that?" A bad premonition arose in my heart.
"You have a lover." Zhao Qingshi hit the nail on the head.
Ruan Xiangyi raised her voice: "You eavesdropped on my phone call."
"There are only two of us in the car, why would I eavesdrop?" Zhao Qingshi sneered.
"You promised me that morning that you wouldn't tell anyone." Ruan Xiangyi said nervously.
"Suddenly changed my mind."
"Mr. Zhao, you're in business. You can't go back on your word once you've made it to someone."
"You are not my business. Whether I regret it or not depends on my mood." Zhao Qingshi had an attitude of "You can't do anything to me" and took the student ID from her hand.
Ruan Xiangyi's hand was still suspended in mid-air, and she bent over to grab it.
Zhao Qingshi held it up but she couldn't get it.
"If you tell my senior brother, I will make trouble at your wedding." She was anxious.
Zhao Qingshi disagreed: "Do you care so much about your senior brother? Do you think the wedding will be cancelled if you disrupt it?"
Ruan Xiangyi certainly knew this. A marriage between wealthy families was not about feelings, but about the interests of the two companies. Even if Zhao Qingshi had ten women outside, as long as the interests of both parties were not threatened, the women would choose to turn a blind eye.
"What if I say I'm pregnant?" Ruan Xiangyi took the risk.
Zhao Qingshi said as a jerk: "Then you have to get pregnant first."
Suddenly, something occurred to me: "Maybe the bride can be replaced by you."
Ruan Xiangyi was extremely angry.
"I'm not interested in taking you to see my senior brother. Just take a taxi yourself." He put away the ID and started to drive people away.
"Give me back my student ID."
"Didn't you say you would give it to me after my wedding?"
It's so shameless! Ruan Xiangyi gritted her teeth. She had never seen anyone more shameless than Zhao Qingshi!
More than forty minutes later.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard the sound of something being smashed inside, and Ruan Xiangyi stopped in her tracks. Lin Manshu was waiting for her in the main courtyard, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her return. "Xiangyi, you're back."
After getting off the bus, she was planning to take a taxi to find Chen Que, but she received a call from Lin Manshu, asking her to go home quickly.
"Mom, what happened at home?"
"The Zhao family broke off the engagement," Lin Manshu said. "Your uncle just came back from the company. Lingyu was crying inside and smashed everything in the house. Stay away from her and don't mess with her."
Ruan Xiangyi recalled the scene in the evening.
He clearly had no intention of hiding what he said to Ruan Lingyu in the car.
Isn't this clearly teasing her...
Entering the house, Ruan Xiangyi realized just how furious Ruan Lingyu had been. The living room was a mess. Her aunt stood by the door, afraid to go in. Ruan Fu was so angry that he put his hands on his hips and could do nothing to her. Grandma Ruan was so anxious that she kept calling out for her daughter. Ruan Lingyu cried out to Ruan Fu, "You gave me up for that little profit! Everyone knows I'm going to marry Zhao Qingshi! Now you can call off the engagement! As my father, you've never considered me!"
"How do you expect me to hold my head up in front of them from now on?"
"Nannan, who is Zhao Qingshi? He wants to break off the engagement. What can I do?" Ruan Fu said helplessly, "Zhao Qingshi is not the only man in this world. There are all kinds of men you want."
"I just want him!" Ruan Lingyu wiped away her tears and sneered, "Yes, there's really nothing you can do. How dare you say he broke off the engagement without any conditions? Didn't you agree just for those few conditions? How could someone as righteous as you possibly fight for me..."
Ruan Lingyu's voice suddenly disappeared, and the living room fell into silence. She covered half of her face and looked at Ruan Fu in disbelief: "You hit me, you actually hit me?"
Ruan Fu's movements were still paused at the moment of the slap. Seeing the red mark on her face, his palm trembled slightly. Ruan Fu turned his eyes away: "Nannan, stop making trouble."
"From childhood to adulthood, my mother never beat me." Ruan Lingyu's face was blurred with tears. "After my mother left, not long after, you took over my home with another woman. You never considered my feelings, and now, you want to beat me!"
Grandma Ruan held Ruan Lingyu's face in her hands with a distressed look on her face: "Ruan Fu! No matter how she acts up, you can't hit her. What if you hurt her beautiful face?"
"Don't cry, my dear. Your dad was just angry for a moment. No one can take your home away from you. Grandma will always be here with you. Be good." Grandma Ruan was heartbroken. "It's so red. Aunt Zhang, go and boil two eggs."
Aunt Zhang quickly ran to the kitchen.
Because of her words, Lin Manshu and Ruan Xiangyi, who had just entered the room, suddenly became the target of public criticism.
Ruan Lingyu noticed Ruan Xiangyi, and her tears suddenly stopped. She pushed Grandma Ruan aside and walked straight towards her. Lin Manshu saw her approaching and was about to speak when she saw her slap Ruan Xiangyi in the face. Her face suddenly changed: "What are you doing!"
"Ruan Xiangyi, you're feeling pretty smug right now, aren't you? I'm telling you, even if Zhao Qingshi and I can't marry, you'll always be inferior to me." Ruan Lingyu looked at her. "People like you should be living in a garbage dump out there. You're just as shameless as your mother."
"Ruan Lingyu!" Ruan Fu was furious. "She's your sister! Look at what you're saying!"
Ruan Lingyu looked at Ruan Fu, her eyes filled with an unprecedented calmness: "I only have one mother, and I will never acknowledge this woman."
Ruan Fu was so angry that he collapsed on the sofa, stroking his chest and gasping for breath. Grandma Ruan quickly asked Zhang Ma to get some medicine: "Nannan, please don't be angry with your father. Your father is not in good health. Oh, what a sin this is."
Aunt Zhang is very busy.
"Mom, she, she was just spoiled by you."
"Hey, stop talking."
Aunt Zhang brought the medicine and Grandma Ruan quickly gave it to him to take. After taking the medicine, Ruan Fu finally breathed better. At this time, Aunt Zhang ran over and said that the young master of the Zhao family was here.
Hearing the noise inside, Zhao Qingshi stood outside the door for a few minutes. After entering, Zhao Qingshi's eyes swept over the figure in the corner.
"Mr. Ruan's house is very lively today." Zhao Qingshi said indifferently, and it was not known whether it was intentional or for some other reason.
Ruan Fu's face flashed with embarrassment: "It was just a small fight. I made Mr. Zhao laugh at me."
"Your face is swollen like this, it doesn't look like a minor fight."
Ruan Lingyu sat in the middle of the sofa with red eyes, and Grandma Ruan was still coaxing her.
Ruan Fu thought he was talking about Ruan Lingyu, and was about to speak when Zhao Qingshi handed him a purple box and said bluntly, "I came here so late to give Mr. Ruan something. This is the marriage certificate between our two families. I would like to ask Mr. Ruan to return my copy to me."
Ruan Fu's expression suddenly turned a little ugly.
The previous generation wrote and exchanged the marriage certificate between the two families for safekeeping, saying that they would add each other's names to it when they got married in the future.
Coming to get the marriage certificate right after breaking off the engagement is really treating his daughter too badly.
Ruan Fu was so angry that he couldn't show it, so he took the purple box and asked Lin Manshu to go upstairs to get it.
After a while, Lin Manshu gave it to him.
Ruan Fu gave it to him.
Zhao Qingshi took it and was about to leave, but Ruan Fu's expression changed and he stopped him. Zhao Qingshi knew what he was going to say, "The money will arrive on Monday, Mr. Ruan, there's no need to worry."
This marriage could be concluded or not. Ultimately, it was all about profit. Feeling relieved, Ruan Fu smiled and sent Zhao Qingshi out.
After Zhao Qingshi left, there was another commotion at home for a while, and finally Ruan Lingyu slammed the door and left.
Lin Manshu found some ice to apply to Ruan Xiangyi to reduce the swelling. It hurt every time she touched her skin, and she cried out in pain: "Lingyu is too cruel. Xiangyi is her sister after all, and she hit her so hard without knowing how to control her strength. If it were anything else, it would be fine, but how can she go out and see people with her skin so swollen?"
Ruan Fu sat aside. Ruan Xiangyi didn't want to apply ice because it hurt. She turned her face away so she wouldn't let her touch it. She didn't respond, because she knew what she was saying was meant for Ruan Fu.
Ruan Fu came over, put his arm around Lin Manshu's shoulders and sighed heavily: "It's my fault for not disciplining you properly. I will definitely make it up to you and your mother."
Ruan Xiangyi didn't want to stay at the Ruan family, so she found an excuse to leave. It was early morning when she left the Ruan family. The wind was very cold tonight, and it stung her face.
"You're quite bold when you talk back to me, but why don't you fight back when you're being bullied?"
