Chapter 827: No Longer Wanting the Heir Position
After leaving the office building, Ruan Qi walked to the carport with her backpack on her back and her ponytail swinging.
Amidst the rows of shared bikes, the blue and white e-scooter stood out. Especially the two rows of long, curled eyelashes on the headlights—it was a breath of fresh air in the e-scooter world.
Ruan Qi walked to the front of the car, took out the car key from her backpack and inserted it.
Little Eyelashes made a sound, and at the same time, the phone in the backpack rang.
Ruan Qi held the handlebars with one hand and took out her cell phone from the side pocket of her backpack with the other.
Caller ID - Cheng Jinyan.
The little girl raised her eyebrows slightly.
She and Cheng Jinyan didn't have much contact on a daily basis. Apart from occasionally receiving likes from his posts on WeChat Moments, they basically had nothing to talk about.
Why did he call suddenly today?
Is it because of something online?
Ruan Qi thought about it, took out the Bluetooth headset from her backpack and put it on, then pushed her eyelashes and walked while pressing the connect button.
"Mr. Cheng."
"Ms. Ruan." Cheng Jinyan's cold and self-possessed voice came from the headset, "Are you busy?"
Ruan Qi: "Not busy. What can I do for you, Mr. Cheng?"
Cheng Jinyan didn't answer her, but asked: "Is Miss Ruan's shoulder injury healed?"
"Okay. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Cheng."
Perhaps because they had experienced the same pursuit together, Ruan Qi no longer had the resistance she had when they first met. But even so, Cheng Jinyan could still hear the distance and courtesy in her tone.
The man's eyes moved, he stood up with his phone, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and spoke lightly.
"It's good that the injury has healed. Miss Ruan, I called you today because of Cheng Yan."
"I'm sorry I didn't do what I promised you."
Back in the ward, he promised her that he would take good care of Cheng Yan and would never let Cheng Yan cause her trouble again.
However, he had only been abroad for three days when Cheng Yan did so many immoral things.
When Cheng Jinyan thought about the online blackening of Ruan Qi that he saw on Weibo just after getting off the plane an hour ago, he felt an inexplicable surge of anger in his heart.
This kind of anger seems to have nothing to do with love between men and women, nor does it seem like favoritism between friends, but it is just particularly angry.
Driven by this negative emotion, he did not return to the company for a meeting on time for the first time. Instead, he directly ordered his assistant to investigate the online incident in the airport lobby.
The results of the investigation were as he expected. Although many artists' teams had stepped in to stir up trouble regarding Ruan Qi's inside story at the Golden Melody Awards, it was Cheng Yan and her public relations team who initially provoked the dispute.
"Ms. Ruan, I'm very sorry about this."
Cheng Jinyan rubbed his brows tiredly. "Cheng Yan's PR team was given to her by my grandfather. I can't take it back. But I have had her locked up in a suburban villa. This time, I will definitely make her remember her lesson."
The man's voice was not as calm and restrained as usual, but instead contained a fierce and cold tone.
Ruan Qi couldn't help but be a little surprised.
She didn't expect Cheng Jinyan to be so cruel to Cheng Yan.
You know, the Cheng family is not as clean as the Xi family. The Cheng family's place is a man-eating devil's den.
Although everyone says that Cheng Jinyan is most likely to take the position of head of the family, his situation in the Cheng family is not good, and it can even be said that he is surrounded by enemies on all sides.
The old man of the Cheng family, Cheng Qi, the current head of the family, is cruel, selfish and sees his children and grandchildren as mere tools to be used.
The other members of the Cheng family simply wished Cheng Jinyan would die right now so that they would have a chance to become heirs.
In this situation, Cheng Jinyan actually dared to lock up Cheng Yan. This was simply stepping on a landmine!
Who in the entire imperial capital doesn’t know that Grandpa Cheng loves this little granddaughter the most?
By doing this, Cheng Jinyan is simply slapping the old man in the face!
Ruan Qi couldn't understand why Cheng Jinyan would do this for her. Was it because she had saved him?
In order to repay the life-saving grace, he even gave up the position of heir?
The little girl frowned.
She didn't like Cheng Jinyan's way of repaying a favor, as it made her feel that she owed him a favor.
However, she accepted Cheng Jinyan's intentions.
The little girl curled her lower lip.
"Mr. Cheng," she said softly, with a hint of a soft smile in her tone, "If you lock Cheng Yan up, who can I turn to for revenge?"
Cheng Jinyan was stunned by her question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Ruan Qi simply didn't plan to let him answer.
She just continued, "You are Cheng Yan's cousin. It's not good for a cousin to lock up his cousin in a suburban villa. Mr. Cheng, I went through so much trouble to save you from the gunpoint. You can't ruin your reputation like this. What's more..."
She laughed softly, "Cheng Yan has wronged me so much. If I can't take revenge myself, I will feel so frustrated."
This statement was well-reasoned and the logic was very clear. Cheng Jinyan, who had been immersed in the business world for many years, could not find any reason to refute it for a moment.
Seeing that he had been tricked into a trap, Ruan Qi took advantage of the situation and made the final decision.
"Mr. Cheng, since you have no objection, then this matter has been happily decided! I'll take care of Cheng Yan. Bye!"
The phone was hung up with a click.
The little girl looked at the black phone screen and smiled like a cunning little fox.
She hummed "First Love" and sat on Little Eyelash, then galloped away like a horse leaving a cloud of dust behind.
Two minutes later, the phone started ringing again.
Ruan Qi quickly pressed the answer button on the Bluetooth headset.
"Ruan Xiaoqi, are you still in Imperial University?!" Shen Wenqian's anxious voice came from the headset.
Ruan Qi noticed that his tone was not right and immediately replied, "Yes, I will leave the school right away..."
"Don't leave the school!" Shen Wenqian's voice instantly rose two octaves. "The online incident has become a big deal. The reporters and media have already blocked the school gate!!!"
