Chapter 153 Did you break up with your best friend?
Did you break up with your bestie?
Ruan Hao made an appointment with his friends at six o'clock, which was exactly dinner time.
Wen Ruan set up a party at No. 10 Jingwan Road and asked Cheng Shuang to go with him.
The man was called Wei Cheng, a young man wearing trendy brands, about the same age as Ruan Hao. Ruan Hao had introduced them in advance, saying that Wei Cheng's family was a family acquaintance of Xu Xiaotian's ex-boyfriend's family.
When talking about Xu Xiaotian's ex-boyfriend, Wei Cheng looked disgusted.
"Li Yan and my brother are childhood friends, but my brother and his friends don't like to play with him. He was born to a concubine, but he always acts like a legitimate son. He's ugly but good at playing, and he indulges in all kinds of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling."
"I'm not familiar with the Xu Xiaotian you're talking about, and Li Yan is abroad all year round, so we're not in the same circle. But I must do what Ruan Hao asked me to do. I asked my brother to help me check it out."
"Xu Xiaotian is Li Yan's girlfriend in Haicheng. Li Yan treats her very well. He took her to study abroad and bought her bags and jewelry. He really doted on her during the first year and took her with him everywhere."
"But they soon got tired of each other. Li Yan fell in love with someone else and wanted to dump her. Xu Xiaotian didn't want to break up and didn't mind him having other women."
Li Yan couldn't get rid of her, and since she was obedient, he treated her as a toy for occasional entertainment.
Xu Xiaotian is also a tolerant person. Li Yan has a tendency to violence. He once beat his girlfriend into a vegetative state, and he finally paid money to settle the matter. Xu Xiaotian never wore short sleeves in the summer, so she must have been beaten a lot.
The two of them were entangled for several years, one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten, until last year -
"Li Yan was born to a concubine and has three older brothers. If he wanted to seize the family fortune, marrying a wife was crucial. To seize power, he used all means to pursue a wealthy, white, and beautiful woman whose family owned a mine, and he actually caught up with her."
"Xu Xiaotian looks obedient, but she's actually a ruthless person. She waited for Li Yan for so many years in vain, and Li Yan even asked his mother to pay her to humiliate her. She then climbed into Li Yan's father's bed and got pregnant."
"Li Yan felt ashamed and beat Xu Xiaotian so badly that she was hospitalized and had the baby aborted. This beating scared Xu Xiaotian so much that I heard she's already returned home."
In the box, Wei Cheng took out a file bag from the bag next to him, put it on the table and pushed it to Wen Ruan.
"This is a summary of Xu Xiaotian's experiences abroad over the years. To sum it up, she's a very pretentious and vain woman."
Li Yan's wife, who was a good match for him, was quite powerful. She suppressed all the bad news about Li Yan. It was really hard to investigate the matter of Xu Xiaotian as well. Fortunately, his brother had known Li Yan since childhood and had the means to investigate.
Wen Ruan took the file bag and said, "Thank you, you've worked hard."
Wei Cheng grinned, "It's okay, Ruan Hao's business is my business."
Wei Cheng came to Haicheng to visit a friend. After dinner, Wen Ruan arranged for a driver to take him there.
After everyone left, Wen Ruan handed the file bag and a recorder in her hand to Cheng Shuang. She had recorded everything Wei Cheng said in the box just now.
"Xu Xiaotian said that she was bullied by Li Yan and had no choice but to follow Li Yan. But Li Yan wanted to dump her, and she refused to leave. So she must have lied. Let Shen Yifan hear it."
Cheng Shuang took it and pursed her lips, "What if he doesn't believe it?"
Wen Ruan: "If he doesn't believe me, it means he's leaning towards Xu Xiaotian. Then just ignore him and slap the divorce agreement in his face when the time comes."
…
It was almost ten o'clock when we returned to Hua'an Yayuan.
As soon as Wen Ruan came out of the elevator, he saw Ruan Chengdong being kicked out of the house by his mother.
Ruan Chengdong turned around and saw her, looking a little embarrassed, and smiled helplessly.
"I didn't have dinner at night, so I came to your mother's house to ask for a bowl of noodles, but she wouldn't let me in."
Wen Ruan and his mother lived on the seventh floor. A young couple lived on the sixth floor, having moved in last year. Ruan Chengdong paid three times the market price and asked them to move out within three days.
Wen Ruan followed him into the room.
The layout is the same as the one upstairs, and the decoration is the modern and simple style that young people like. It was renovated two years ago. I haven't lived in it much, so it's still quite new.
Wen Ruan opened the refrigerator and found it was full.
Ruan Chengdong followed her and explained, "Ni Fei is a very reliable kid. He prepared everything in advance and bought everything."
All the ingredients were available, and the kitchen utensils and dishes were all new. Wen Ruan cooked a bowl of tomato and egg noodles.
Ruan Chengdong arrived in Haicheng in the afternoon. He received a work call as soon as he arrived and was busy until just now. When he was about to go out for dinner, he met Wen Huian who had just got off work in the elevator on the first floor.
He followed her upstairs and wanted to go into her house for a bowl of noodles, but was kicked out.
Every time Ruan Chengdong took a bite of noodles, he would look up and praise Wen Ruan with a kind and loving expression, "It's delicious."
Wen Ruan ignored his sugar-coated bullets, she was very curious about one thing.
"So what did you say to Ruan Hao's grandmother? Why didn't she object as long as my mother agreed to remarry?"
Ruan Chengdong ate very quickly. He finished his bowl of noodles and drank all the soup.
What did you say?
He simply relayed to his mother what Wen Huian had told him, and finally asked her two questions.
"Mom, my daughter refuses to acknowledge me. Are you happy?"
"You said you did everything for my own good, but after more than 20 years, do you think I've been happy?"
Later, the old lady gave in and seemed to have taken a step back, but in fact, she was also certain that Wen Huian would never turn back.
Wen Ruan is 29 years old this year. If she really wants to gain status by relying on her daughter, she can't be so quiet. She really has never thought about remarrying him.
…
When Wen Ruan returned home, Wen Hui'an had just collected clothes from the balcony. When she saw her come in, she asked a question.
"Just got back from him?"
Wen Ruan was stunned for a moment, trying to pretend she didn't understand, then she heard her mother say, "I saw you just now. You didn't come in. You went downstairs with him, didn't you? How come I didn't know the house on the sixth floor was for sale? You're really well-informed."
Wen Huian walked towards the bedroom while speaking, and Wen Ruan hurriedly followed.
"It's not me," she mentioned Ni Fei. "Ni Fei is a relative of the Ruan family. Ruan Chengdong contacted him, and he was the one who handled the house."
Wen Hui'an didn't say anything. She put the clothes on the bed and sat on it to fold them.
Wen Ruan sat beside her and helped her fold the clothes. He looked at her, then at the clothes, and Ruan Chengdong's words flashed through his mind.
"Your grandmother had you taken away and asked your mother to go to London. It takes 12 hours to fly from Haicheng to London. Your mother was terrified that she would not be able to see you. She was terrified and suffered a lot of mental torture."
This was the first time Wen Ruan heard of this.
She put down her clothes, took a step forward, and hugged Wen Huian.
"Mom, I didn't want to recognize Ruan Chengdong. I just wanted to find him for work."
Wen Huian let her hold him for a long time before speaking.
"I can see that you like him very much. If you want to recognize him, then do so."
Tonight she met Ruan Chengdong at the elevator entrance. When she heard that he would stay here for a while, she was very angry and even decided to take Ruan Ruan to move in with Zhong Lan.
She just talked to Zhong Lan about moving, but Zhong Lan persuaded her to stop.
"Hui An, He Zheng is in trouble now and is not in Haicheng. Ruan Ruan is pregnant and has to deal with the Yao family. We can't help with the affairs of their circle even if we want to. Ruan Chengdong can."
"Have you forgotten the celebration party for Rong Li? Hui'an, Ruan Ruan needs this father."
Wen Ruan felt that his mother was speaking in anger, but it didn't seem like it.
She still maintained her previous decision. Unless her mother was willing to remarry, she would not be able to call her "Dad".
Before going to bed, Wen Ruanbuwang sent a message to Cheng Shuang asking what Shen Yifan's reaction was after listening to the recording.
At Qingyue Mansion, Cheng Shuang looked at Shen Yifan who was already sleeping soundly on the bed, and took out her cell phone to reply to Wen Ruan.
Cheng Shuang: [He had a social event tonight, got drunk, and fell asleep. He has a business trip tomorrow. Let's talk about it after he comes back.]
…
Since Ruan Chengdong took over the Ruan Group, he has basically worked all year round. This time he took a long vacation for himself. Unless it is necessary, he can stay in Haicheng for two months.
Wen Hui'an developed a habit since she was young, which is to get up early and run every day. Ruan Chengdong would squat downstairs and pretend to meet her by chance. Wen Hui'an ignored him, so he would run after her.
After running, she went to work and he worked from home. Although it was a holiday, he still had a lot of things to deal with. In the evening, when she got off work, he went to the hospital to pick her up and walked her home.
Wen Ruan felt that his method was useless, and Ruan Chengdong said that there was no need to be impatient.
"When I was in school, I chased your mom and used my ultimate move right away. Your mom ignored me, but I used the boiling frog method to get her to look me in the eye. She was slow to warm up, but I had a big move coming up."
Wen Ruan could only wish him good luck. The only way he could support him was to order a meal for him at No. 10 Jingwan Road, and have someone deliver meals to him every day.
She couldn't help him with anything else, and she really didn't have time to take care of him because she was very busy recently.
The day before the May Day holiday, Zhang Tongtong gave birth to a baby boy prematurely in Songli Hospital.
Zhong Lan was the midwife. She secretly told Wen Ruan that the couple had a quarrel and the pregnant woman was stimulated, which led to premature birth. It was also fortunate that the baby was brought to the hospital in time, otherwise it would be hard to say.
After Qingming Festival, Pan Rui's mother sent Dabao to his biological father. It was said that the man didn't want the child. Later, the old lady screamed in the village, shouting that she would sue him. The man's family had some shame, so they kept Dabao and let his grandmother take care of him.
The old lady was angry and went back to her hometown. Recently, Zhang Tongtong's mother has been taking care of her in Haicheng.
Wen Ruan often video chats with her and visits her when he has time. She is in a good mood. Wen Ruan can't guess why they quarreled this time, so she asks Zhang Tongtong. Zhang Tongtong holds her hand and says it's okay.
"It's just that Pan Rui has been too busy recently. I haven't seen him much, so I complained a few times."
Wen Ruan asked Pan Rui and Zhang's mother again. Pan Rui said the same thing as Zhang Tongtong. Zhang's mother was unaware of the situation because she had gone to the school to pick up Guoguo.
Wen Ruan felt that something was strange between the two of them, but she couldn't put her finger on what was wrong, so after returning from the hospital, she called Ni Fei and asked him to add a few clauses to Tongguo Network's investment plan.
Today is a holiday, and the signing ceremony with Tongguo Network will be after the holiday. Ni Fei had just left the company and asked in surprise when he heard her words.
"Sister, did you break up with your best friend?"
Because Pan Rui is the husband of Wen Ruan's best friend, they are very relaxed in all aspects. Now Wen Ruan means that Minghe wants to take control of Tongguo Network and become the controlling shareholder of Tongguo Network.
It was obvious that something had happened.
Wen Ruan didn't explain much, just told him to do it, "If Pan Rui asks, just say I gave in."
During the May Day holiday, Wen Ruan did not rest, and she and Yao Tianyu started fighting again.
Rongli lost Ai Yue, Chang Jun went bankrupt, and Ling Er was robbed. This series of mistakes almost completely disrupted Rongli Capital's strategic plan for the past two years.
Soon after, the Zhenghang incident was exposed, Yao Tianyu's negative information was everywhere, and Rongli Capital was hit hard. At the critical moment, Jiang Qingyan demonstrated his unique and flexible investment vision.
He was entrusted with an important task by Yao Wei to re-arrange the strategy of Rongli Capital and make major adjustments to Rongli's stocks in multiple fields. Rongli's focus this year is on technology stocks.
Xinminglin Semiconductor Technology is an upstream enterprise in the industry and the most important link in Rongli Capital's layout of the semiconductor industry chain.
Yao Wei also attached great importance to this project. Yao Tianyu was determined to win it. Just in case, he asked Jiang Qingyan to be in charge. Everything went smoothly in the early stage. On the day of the signing ceremony, he and Jiang Qingyan went to Xinminglin Technology together.
The signing ceremony is scheduled for early June, the day before the Dragon Boat Festival.
The appointment was for 10 a.m., but Yao Tianyu and his friends arrived at 9:30. As a result, as soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw Wen Ruan being escorted out by a group of people.
Yao Tianyu frowned, feeling something was wrong.
Looking closely, the man in the lead, smiling and shaking hands with Wen Ruan, was none other than the boss of Xin Ming Lin! Following behind him was a group of company executives!
