Chapter 90 Heartache, Heartbreak
Ruan Yunheng grew up in a very harmonious family. His parents were loving and tolerant of him.
He grew up freely and calmly, and got whatever he wanted.
That was why he could say in front of Xu Anyu, "No one can bully you as long as I'm here."
It can be said that from childhood to adulthood, he has hardly ever experienced what it means to be out of reach or beyond one's ability.
I don’t even understand what heartache and heartbreak are.
The first time he felt heartache was when he knew that Xu Nianyi's mother was Xu Shu, but he liked Xu Qi and knew that if he chose Xu Qi, it would be equivalent to giving up Xu Nianyi to some extent.
That was the first time he felt heartache.
He realized that there were things in this world that he could not control and had no choice about.
And now he knew what heartbreak was.
Xu Qi was right in front of him, in his arms. He could clearly take her away by just hugging her tightly.
But she was so out of reach, as if he, who was less than 20 years old, could never possess her no matter how hard he tried to hug her.
Her eyes were red, but the corners of her lips were curved. She was smiling and telling him to grow up quickly.
It was like a thorn in his flesh and heart.
The pain gets deeper and deeper, and it's unbearable.
It was as if all sense of belief collapsed and shattered in her desperate yet hopeful smile.
Although the young man is not strong enough, he always refuses to admit defeat.
Unruly, always passionate, and not easily defeated.
Even if it is broken, you must pick it up again, hold it, and hold it tightly!
So Ruan Yunheng just hugged Xu Anyu tighter.
"I, Ruan Yunheng, have never broken my word since I was a child."
His voice was rough but firm. He picked her up despite her refusal: "Xu Qi, I promised to protect you, and I will definitely do it!"
He carried her out of the hotel. Xu Anyu grabbed his clothes tightly and said, "No, Ruan San, you don't understand my father..."
Before he could finish his words, the man's low, cold laugh echoed not far away, "Where are you taking our Yu Yu, Third Master Ruan?"
Ruan Yunheng clearly felt Xu Anyu's momentary stiffness, followed by uncontrollable trembling.
She was very afraid of Xu Chongshan.
Ruan Yunheng tightened his arms and hugged her tighter, saying softly, "Don't be afraid."
She looked at him and shook her head, full of despair.
Ruan Yunheng gritted his teeth, turned around while holding Xu Anyu, and looked towards the source of the sound.
Xu Chongshan, who was about forty years old and wearing a white Zhongshan suit, was gentle and handsome. He held a broken jade fan in his hand and patted his palm lightly.
But such a man has a pair of cold eagle eyes. When he looks at her, it is as if he is looking at prey struggling under the eagle's claws.
Dozens of bodyguards followed him, and in the blink of an eye, the hotel lobby was cleared, with only his bodyguards surrounding it.
In the middle was Ruan Yunheng holding Xu Anyu, and Xu Nianyi and Xie Yanwen who followed in.
This was not the first time Ruan Yunheng met Xu Chongshan. Whenever they met in the past, whether out of courtesy or for some other reason, he always had to call him Uncle Xu.
But now, he looked directly at Xu Chongshan, without fear or address, and simply replied: "Take her home."
"Which home are you going back to?"
Xu Chongshan smiled and asked Xu Anyu lovingly, "Yuyu, isn't the Xu family your home?"
Xu Anyu's breathing was already very rapid, she felt a little suffocated, but she still hurriedly replied, "I'm not going with him, Dad, I'm not leaving..."
As she spoke, she struggled to get out of Ruan Yunheng's arms.
Ruan Yunheng tightened his arms, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Xu Qi, if you compromise with him now, you'll really be inseparable!"
He didn't know what a quagmire the Xu family was for Xu Anyu, and he still didn't know it until now.
But he knew that Xu Qiji was afraid of Xu Chongshan, and this fear was abnormal.
And today, Xu Chongshan made Xu Qi kneel in public in the hotel, making her a laughing stock in the upper circles of Haidu. It was obvious that he had made his attitude clear. He might give up on Xu Qi completely.
Ruan Yunheng didn't know what Xu Chongshan was planning, but no matter what it was, he couldn't ignore it.
He must take Xu Qi away.
Xu Chongshan looked at them and chuckled, "Looking at this, does Third Young Master Ruan want to force my Yu Yu? Even though you are the young master of the Ruan family, my Xu family will not allow you to bully me at will."
He tilted his head and said to the bodyguard beside him, "Bring Miss Seven back."
The bodyguard nodded expressionlessly and walked towards Ruan Yunheng.
Xu Anyu was completely panicked and extremely scared, "Ruan San, please let me go."
If Xu Chongshan accused Ruan Yunheng of forcing her, even if he let his bodyguards hurt Ruan Yunheng, the Ruan family would have to suffer the loss in silence.
Moreover, she didn't want the conflict between the Ruan and Xu families to be exposed because of her.
Ruan Yunheng gritted his teeth, stared at the bodyguard coming towards him, and said to Xu Nianyi who walked beside him: "Niannian, help me..."
Just as he was about to ask Xu Nianyi to help him keep an eye on Xu Anyu, Xie Yanwen, who had been quiet all this time, took two steps forward and stood in front of them.
Xie Yanwen looked at Xu Chongshan and said in a calm tone, "Uncle Xu, why do you have to make things so serious?"
The bodyguard was stunned for a moment, stopped, and turned to look at Xu Chongshan.
Xu Chongshan narrowed his eyes slightly and winked at the bodyguard, who stepped back.
Xu Chongshan then patted the folding fan in his hand again and said with a smile: "I didn't see that Fifth Young Master Xie is here too?"
Then he looked at Xu Nianyi who was beside Ruan Yunheng and said, "This is the fifth young lady that the Ruan family found, right?"
Xu Nianyi rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention.
She felt disgusted with Xu Chongshan the first time she saw him.
Xie Yanwen stood there indifferently, without answering, and continued, "You made Xu Qi kneel here as punishment, and Ruan San only wanted to take her away because he felt sorry for her. Uncle Xu, there's no need to make such a big deal out of this, right?"
"Heartache?"
Xu Chongshan raised his eyebrows: "So, as a father, it's my fault for punishing my disobedient daughter?"
Xie Yanwen raised the corner of his lips. "As a father, you can punish your daughter if you want. But as a boyfriend, it's naturally okay for him to feel sorry for his girlfriend, right?"
"Boy friend?"
Xu Chongshan made a surprised expression: "Yu Yu, you are dating Mr. Ruan, why didn't you tell dad about this?"
"I……"
Xu Anyu was shaking violently, perhaps because of her fear of Xu Chongshan, or perhaps because she was having an attack. She felt so suffocated that she couldn't say a word.
One hand was tightly clutching the clothes over her heart, and her expression was a little distorted.
Her face was already pale, which made the fingerprints on her face even clearer and more terrifying. Even Xu Nianyi felt distressed when she saw it.
How much strength did he use to hit her? Her face is obviously swollen.
No wonder Ruan Yunheng lost his temper and even wanted to take people away. He must be heartbroken at this moment!
Without hearing Xu Anyu's answer, Ruan Yunheng suddenly spoke anxiously: "Xie Wu, she can't breathe anymore, I'll take her out first."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left, no longer caring about the bodyguards.
A bodyguard stepped forward and raised his hand to stop him, but Xie Yanwen took a few steps forward, grabbed the bodyguard's wrist and twisted it back with force.
The bodyguard cried out in pain. Xie Yanwen turned to look at Xu Chongshan, his eyes completely cold. "He's been beaten and punished. Uncle Xu, just let him take Xu Qi away, okay?"
It looks like a question, but in fact it carries a sense of oppression.
Although this Fifth Young Master Xie is young, he already has the aura of a superior.
Today, if Xu Chongshan doesn't let Ruan Yunheng and Xu Anyu go, they will have to break out even if it means breaking through.
But does Xu Chongshan really dare to fight with the young masters of the Ruan and Xie families over such a small matter?
Of course he doesn't dare, and he doesn't know how to do that.
After all, his goal had been achieved, and he had no intention of taking action against them.
So Xu Chongshan just smiled and acted magnanimous, "In that case, I'll let him take Yu Yu away for the sake of Fifth Young Master Xie."
At this moment, Ruan Yunheng had already walked to the lobby door with Xu Anyu in his arms.
Xu Chongshan waved his hand to let all the bodyguards retreat, and smiled at Ruan Yunheng's back, "Yuyu, Daddy punished you today just because you were disobedient. Don't hold a grudge against Daddy. Go out with Third Young Master Ruan to relax, and when it's time to go home, you still have to go home obediently. After all, your mother will miss you too, understand?"
Xu Nianyi didn’t know how Xu Anyu reacted after hearing this, but she found it quite disgusting.
Who can't understand this blatant threat?
"We're leaving too."
She grabbed Xie Yanwen's hand and quickly followed Ruan Yunheng, not wanting to stay here for even a second longer.
Xu Chongshan looked at her back and asked leisurely, "Is she Xu Nianyi?"
A girl walked out and said, "It's her."
Xu Chongshan turned around and looked at Xu Shu beside him. He carefully studied her facial features and was slightly surprised: "She looks quite similar to you."
Could it be that he is really from the Xu family?
I just heard that a paternity test has been done with the Ruan family.
Xu Shu was obedient and quiet, allowing Xu Chongshan to look at her, and did not say anything when she heard what he said.
Xu Chongshan chuckled, "That kid from the Xie family is very shrewd, and indeed hard to approach. But it doesn't matter, we have plenty of time to take our time. I will give you an identity. From today on, you are the eleventh daughter of the Xu family."
His eyes narrowed slightly, hiding countless conspiracies and calculations: "Xie Yonghan will not agree to let Xu Nianyi marry into the Xie family, and you will become the best candidate for marriage for that kid from the Xie family."
Xu Shu clenched her palms, curled the corners of her lips towards him, and smiled obediently, "Thank you, Dad."
Her smile at this moment was imitating Xu Nianyi's smile.
Xu Chongshan felt more and more relaxed. He touched Xu Shu's head and said, "I like obedient girls. As long as you are obedient, I will give you everything you want."
Of course, for him, this is the most perfect result.
Ruan Yunheng had obviously been completely captured by Xu Anyu and didn't need to worry about anything for the time being.
Although this was something he had not expected.
He thought that Xu Anyu's thing would not be of much use, otherwise he would not have gone to so much trouble to find Xu Shu among hundreds of girls and bring her back.
But it's fine like this now.
If Xu Shu can successfully marry Xie Yanwen, it won't be long before the heirs of the Ruan and Xie families will become puppets in his hands.
But it doesn’t matter if Xu Shu can’t successfully deal with the Xie family.
The Ruan family is still there, and he can let Xu Shu replace that disobedient Xu Anyu in the blink of an eye.
By then, the Ruan family would still be in his hands.
