Chapter 120 Ruan Liuzheng: I want to know the truth about everything
Shen Liang paused slightly and fell silent.
His hand unconsciously touched the briefcase beside him, and his expression was a little deep and difficult to read.
He pursed his lips, "Yeah, I know. Just ask whatever you want to ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know."
Ruan Liuzheng pursed her lips slightly, and didn't bother to be polite with Shen Liang. She asked directly, "Does my grandfather's death have anything to do with Bai Xunan?"
Shen Liang was stunned, with a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He didn't expect Ruan Liuzheng to be so sharp right from the start. Her personality was somewhat different from her mother's.
But it’s better this way. Now she is the only girl left in the Ruan family. If she has a strong personality, she can protect herself.
So as to avoid being bullied by some blind people.
Shen Liang was lost in his own thoughts for a moment and remained silent for a long time without answering.
Ruan Liuzheng frowned, subconsciously thinking that Shen Liang didn't want to tell her the truth, or perhaps he had already been bribed by Bai Xunan.
Don't blame her for speculating about Shen Liang with such malice, it's true that the world changes and people's hearts change easily.
What's more, she is now just an orphan with no power, while Bai Xunan has already successfully entered the upper class with the property left by his grandfather.
He became the respected president of Bai Group.
Even though the Bai family's current status is not as good as the Ruan family's in the past, it is still much better than her, an orphan with no power or influence.
If there was a smart person sitting opposite Ruan Liuzheng, he probably wouldn't risk offending the Bai family by telling her the truth.
Ruan Liuzheng didn't want to understand people's hearts, but that didn't mean she couldn't guess them.
Her eyes darkened slightly, and the temperature in her eyes unconsciously dropped a few degrees. She opened her lips and said, "If Uncle Shen feels embarrassed, forget it. Anyway... sooner or later, I will find out the truth with my own ability."
"Some things should not be buried, and they will see the light of day one day."
Shen Liang came back to his senses. He looked up and saw that Ruan Liuzheng was covered with spikes at this time, and she bared her fangs at him unconsciously.
Maybe I guessed something.
He chuckled softly, his eyes warm and tolerant, as if he was looking at a playful junior.
The aura around him is gentle and calm.
Shen Liang shook his head and said, "It's not difficult. I agreed to come here today because I wanted to tell you everything and let the Ruan family's things return to the Ruan family."
His voice was very soft, but his tone was mixed with a certain seriousness, solemnity and coldness.
Ruan Liuzheng was slightly startled.
She clenched her palms uncontrollably, and the wrinkles between her brows deepened.
Let the Ruan family’s things return to the Ruan family’s hands!
What happened back then was indeed not simple. Bai Xunan must have something to hide!
Ruan Liuzheng's eyes flickered, and her clear and cold voice unconsciously took on a hint of chilliness.
She said, "Uncle Shen, I believe you. So please tell me everything that happened."
"My grandfather shouldn't have died in such an unclear way, and my mother shouldn't have ended up with such a tragic ending."
Chen Liang looked quietly at Ruan Liuzheng in front of him. The aura of majesty that she exuded without even getting angry was unconsciously similar to that of the old woman in his memory.
Thinking of the days he spent with the old man, the corners of his lips gradually raised into a slight arc.
It’s a pity...the past cannot be retrieved. So many years have passed and so many things have happened. Now for those who are still alive, it is inevitable to feel that things have changed and people have changed.
Shen Liang took a deep breath, his eyebrows slightly frowned, unnoticeably concealing the complex emotions that suddenly surged in his eyes.
He said calmly, "Although you look a lot like your mother, your personality is actually inherited from your grandfather."
"The old man was also so resolute and vigorous back then."
Shen Liang raised his eyes, his eyes slightly nostalgic, but fortunately he knew that now was not the time for him to reminisce about the past.
He pursed his lips, his face becoming more serious, "Your guess is correct but not entirely correct. The old man's death is indeed related to Bai Xunan, but there are also unexpected elements."
Ruan Liuzheng sat upright, with the corners of her light pink lips tightly pursed into a straight line.
The cold eyes stared at Shen Liang steadily, with both coldness and confusion in them.
She frowned and asked, "Why do you say that? Is there anyone else who wants to murder Grandpa besides Bai Xunan?"
Shen Liang shook his head, "No, Bai Xunan is just an indirect cause of your grandfather's illness. The real reason is your grandfather's own body."
"At that time, the old man discovered that Bai Xunan had a mistress and was secretly transferring assets. But he didn't have any clear evidence. You know, Bai Xunan had already joined the board of directors under the old man's recommendation."
Shen Liang paused for a moment, he sighed softly, his eyebrows seemed a little helpless, and continued, "If there is no definite evidence to expose Bai Xunan's true face, then not only Miss Li Chu will not believe it, but the group of directors on the board will not believe it either."
"The old man couldn't drive Bai Xunan out of the company and the Bai family. And during the years that Bai Xunan had been in the company, he had already secretly cultivated his own power behind the old man's back. Bai Xunan's wings are becoming more and more powerful, but the old man's health is getting worse day by day."
Ruan Liuzheng's heart tightened uncontrollably, she could almost imagine how her grandfather felt at that time.
His own daughter was unreliable and too young.
Outside, there is Bai Xunan, a hungry wolf, eyeing the Ruan family's property at any time, almost waiting for him to die so that he can pounce on her and her mother.
While my grandfather was tired and worried, he was probably also a little desperate.
Ruan Liuzheng clenched her palms tightly, and her sharp nails pierced into her tender skin. Only the pain could keep her awake.
There is no need to go and settle the score with Bai Xunan now.
She took a deep breath, her voice a little hoarse, "What's next?"
"Then the old man came to me. Although I am nominally the lawyer of the Ruan Group, I have not signed any contract with the Ruan Group. I only helped unconditionally because I wanted to repay the old man's kindness."
"The old man knew this and knew that I had little to do with the Ruan family, so he sent someone to secretly investigate Bai Xunan and look for evidence. But he didn't expect..."
Shen Liang stopped talking. Even if he didn't say the rest, he believed Ruan Liuzheng could guess it.
He closed his eyes, adjusted his emotions, then looked at Ruan Liuzheng and said, "This is all I know, but before the old man passed away, he still left something for you and Miss Lichu."
There was a faint blush at the corners of Ruan Liuzheng's eyes. She raised her hand to interrupt Shen Liang, and there was a chill in her clear almond eyes.
She gritted her teeth and said, "There is no element of surprise at all. Grandpa's illness was not sudden. Bai Xunan noticed something in advance, so it triggered Grandpa's old illness."
"And at that time, the reason why he pretended to be filial and take care of grandpa was to threaten grandpa and conceal the truth, right?"
There was no expression on Ruan Liuzheng's face, but she spoke every word clearly, as if she had used up all her strength.
As the tone became more serious, not only the corners of her eyes, but her entire eye sockets began to turn red.
Although she had already guessed it in her heart, she still wanted to hear Chen Liang's answer and affirmation with her own ears.
She wanted to remember the heartache and hatred she felt at that moment forever.
She wanted to make those evil-minded people pay every price to comfort the souls of her grandfather and mother in heaven.
Shen Liang pursed his lips and said nothing, but his brows were tightly wrinkled.
He looked at Ruan Liuzheng in front of him and suddenly fell silent.
He suddenly wondered whether there was any point in coming here today.
Before the old man died, he kept holding his hand tightly. Wasn't it because he was worried about Ruan Liuzheng and Ruan Lichu?
Isn't the old man's biggest wish to let the two young ladies live a happy and worry-free life?
So he came here today and told Ruan Liuzheng everything, so that Ruan Liuzheng's future would be burdened with hatred.
Is this really what the old man wants to see?
Shen Liang's grip on the briefcase kept tightening, his eyes flickered, and there was hesitation and indecision in his eyes.
As a result, he was unable to nod and tell Ruan Liuzheng the affirmative answer.
However, Ruan Liuzheng understood everything.
She smiled softly, her cold voice was unusually calm.
"I understand. Uncle Shen, don't feel any burden. The life that grandpa expected of my mother and me no longer existed when Bai Xunan openly brought his mistress into the house and drove my mother and me out of the old house."
She curled the corners of her lips, and her beautiful eyebrows and eyes glowed with a faint cold light under the bright light, like a red spider lily blooming on the shore of the underworld.
Zhenli, however, carries with her deadly danger.
The temperature in her eyes unconsciously dropped a few degrees, and she said, "Besides, if I can't let those villains get the revenge they deserve, then can I, Ruan Liuzheng, still be considered a member of the Ruan family?"
It was clearly a rhetorical question, but Ruan Liuzheng used an extremely firm tone.
She has made up her mind, and no one can change it.
Shen Liang realized this reality, and his grip on the briefcase loosened slightly.
After a long while, he exhaled a breath of foul air, and said with a sigh, "If the old man could see you now, he would definitely be very pleased."
When Ruan Liuzheng heard this, the corners of her eyes raised, and a sincere smile finally appeared in her eyes.
She smiled and spoke, with tears in her cold eyes, "I am his granddaughter. We have all been taught by him, so how can we lose his integrity?"
As she spoke, Ruan Liuzheng gently raised her eyes, and her tone gradually became colder, "So Uncle Shen, shouldn't you also tell me why you suddenly disappeared from Yuncheng, and why you didn't tell me and my mother the truth at the first time?"
