Chapter 42 Yao Man reveals He Zheng's background
Yao Man reveals He Zheng's background
Yao Man grew up surrounded by stars, and no one dared to make her angry.
Except Wen Ruan and He Zheng.
Wen Ruan slapped her, and she took revenge. She snatched Jiang Qingyan away, expelled Wen Ruan from Rongli, ruined her reputation, and cyber-bullied her. Only then did she forgive Wen Ruan for the slap.
After driving Wen Ruan away, He Zheng came again.
He Zheng had repeatedly ruined her plans, and now, in public, he was exposing her shameful past, destroying her reputation, humiliating her, and making her lose all face.
Even her father had never said a harsh word to her. Who was He Zheng? What right did he have to humiliate her? How dare he!
Yao Man tightly clenched the champagne in her hand. She heard people talking about her, saying that she missed the college entrance examination because she checked into a hotel with a man, that she had an abortion, and that she was divorced.
In those days, my father had always kept the news secret, and those who knew about it didn't dare to say a word, and no one dared to discuss her gossip in person.
Now, He Zheng said it so easily.
Yao Man was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot, and she threw the champagne in her hand at He Zheng.
He Zheng still had his arm around Wen Ruan's shoulders at this moment. The two of them were close to each other. The cup came flying towards them with the force of breaking through the air. It was too late to dodge, so He Zheng turned sideways and hugged Wen Ruan.
The wine splashed on his shirt, and the cup hit his back hard and bounced back, falling to the ground with a bang, shattering glass all over the floor.
Wen Ruan heard a muffled and suppressed groan of pain from above his head.
The discussions and gossip around also stopped at this moment.
Jiang Qingyan looked at the two people hugging each other in front of him, his eyes as deep as ink, like the abyss under a cold pond where no sunlight could be seen.
His fingers slowly tightened and clenched into fists, and for a moment he didn't notice that something was wrong with Yao Man next to him.
Yao Man was in a very unstable mood. He Zheng's public exposure of her shameful past completely infuriated her. Her anger reached its highest point with the sound of the cup breaking.
Her eyes turned red, and she pointed at He Zheng and cursed viciously:
"You are a bastard who is not wanted by your father and not loved by your mother. Who do you think you are? You keep targeting me. I am giving you face, right?"
"Why are you so arrogant? What do you have to be so arrogant about? Do you think that just because you have Yao family blood in your body, you have the right to talk to me like this?"
"I'm telling you, He Zheng, even if your mother is Mrs. Yao now, she was still a mistress when she was pregnant with you! You were born as an illegitimate child, and you'll be a bastard your whole life!"
"You're just a bastard. You can't even get into the Yao family's genealogy, yet you dare to yell at me? Call your mistress and ask her. She's Mrs. Yao now. Does she dare to be so rude to me? You're just a bastard. You...ah!"
Yao Man's voice suddenly stopped.
Yao Man was startled because Jiang Qingyan suddenly picked her up sideways. After she came to her senses, she glared at him and signaled him to put her down.
Jiang Qingyan didn't look at her. He carried her and walked straight to the lounge on the first floor. When he passed by Wen Ruan, he paused slightly.
Wen Ruan was still in He Zheng's arms at this moment.
She did not struggle. In fact, amidst Yao Man's heart-wrenching complaints and roars, she raised her hands and covered He Zheng's ears.
She was protecting He Zheng from hearing those bad words.
Jiang Qingyan retracted his gaze, holding Yao Man and leaving quickly. Yao Man struggled in his arms, and did not forget to say to He Zheng in a hateful voice:
"He Zheng, just wait for me!"
Jiang Qingyan had broad shoulders and long legs, and he walked very fast. Before Yao Man had finished cursing, he had already walked into the lounge. With the sound of the door closing, the hall fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on He Zheng.
There were rumors in the circle before that He Zheng was an illegitimate child of a wealthy family. Some said he was from the Yao family, but the Yao family never admitted it, and Yao Tianyu also denied it publicly, so the rumor gradually died down.
Unexpectedly, He Zheng is actually a member of the Yao family.
And from what Yao Man said, He Zheng was the son of Yao Wei and He Meiju, the current mistress of the Yao family.
He Meizhu and He Zheng, it turns out they took their mother's surname.
No wonder. No wonder He Zheng and Yao Tianyu have been fighting each other for so many years, but Yao Wei has not made any move and has not helped his son. After all, if he had made any move, Minghe might not exist.
It turns out that both of them are sons.
We are all made of flesh and blood. It would be wrong to help anyone, so I decided not to help anyone and let the two brothers fight.
Although according to Yao Man, He Zheng has not yet returned to his roots, many people look at He Zheng with a strange look in their eyes.
The battle for succession in a wealthy family is always changing rapidly. Until the last moment, no one knows who will be the final heir.
After all, among Mr. Yao’s four sons, Yao Wei was the least favored and least promising one, but he finally succeeded in taking the throne.
It is not known whether Yao Wei has other illegitimate children. What everyone knows now is that he has only three children, Yao Man, Yao Tianyu, and now He Zheng.
If you were to bet on Yao Tianyu and He Zheng, more people would be willing to bet on He Zheng.
After all, in the past few years, He Zheng and Yao Tianyu have been fighting, and He Zheng has won more than Yao Tianyu has lost.
Moreover, He Zheng's biological mother is now the mistress of the Yao family. She has to help her son with plans.
It was a lavish and extravagant cocktail party, but no one expected it to turn out this way.
After Jiang Qingyan carried Yao Man away, there was chaos in the hall for a while, and soon a host came on stage with a microphone.
"Now it's time for free communication..."
In a word, it can bring the crooked thoughts of many people who like to watch melons back on track. Free communication is also a time for social greetings and exchanging business cards.
It had just started, but was interrupted by the appearance of He Zheng and Wen Ruan.
Many industry leaders are here tonight, and there are business opportunities everywhere.
If the conversation goes well, cooperation can be achieved on the spot. If the conversation goes badly, you can quickly find another big boss to make friends with. Such occasions where big bosses gather together are not common.
So, after watching the excitement, most people became keen on socializing again, handing out business cards and drinking glasses of wine.
Only during the breaks in the negotiations would he occasionally glance in the direction of He Zheng and Wen Ruan.
…
He Zheng and Wen Ruan were still in their original positions, and the noise around them seemed to have nothing to do with them.
He Zheng hugged Wen Ruan, resting his forehead on her shoulder. Wen Ruan covered his ears with her hands to block out all the bad words.
Shen Yifan was standing nearby. He was originally worried about He Zheng's back, but now he was no longer in a hurry. He took out his cell phone and secretly took pictures of the two of them.
Wen Ruan didn't notice him. What was on her mind now was: Yao Man actually exposed He Zheng's life experience in public!
He Zheng said that Yao Man and Yao Tianyu, brother and sister, were most wary of his identity and were most afraid of his identity being made public. Unexpectedly, she said it herself now.
——A bastard who is not wanted by his father and not loved by his mother.
——You were born as a bastard, and you will be a bastard all your life.
Wen Ruan had also heard such words. She had also been called a bastard and a illegitimate child, so she could empathize.
He Zheng must be very sad now.
In the past, when people chased her and called her a bastard, she would cover her ears.
If you cover your ears, you won't hear anything.
In fact, He Zheng could vaguely hear Yao Man's hysterical and sharp curses.
However, his boiling anger slowly died down because of Wen Ruan's action.
She covered his ears, her soft palms pressed against his ears, and he began to tremble.
Did she feel sorry for him?
No, maybe it's just sympathy.
It doesn't matter, that's enough.
While feeling happy and relieved, He Zheng also began to feel scared.
I don’t know if Yao Man deliberately threw the cup away, but in that situation, if he hadn’t protected Wen Ruan, the cup would most likely have hit Wen Ruan as well.
If it falls on Wen Ruan...
He Zheng recalled that when they were in the second year of high school, they had a physical education class with other classes. There was a boy in that class who wanted to be beaten up. He deliberately hit her with a basketball. After that, he ran over with his hair lifted, thinking he was very handsome, and said sorry, he didn't mean it.
He Zheng was playing basketball diagonally across the street at the time, a bit far away. It was Shen Yifan who came back from buying water and told him that Wen Ruan was hit by the ball.
"It's Li Jun, the PE committee member of Class 5. He boasted in the dormitory last week that he would definitely catch up with Wen Ruan this semester. He deliberately hit the ball at Wen Ruan. That guy is so fucking disgusting. No one chases girls like him."
He Zheng ran over to find Wen Ruan.
The little girl was sitting on the steps of the playground stands with red eyes. A girl next to her pulled her school uniform off her shoulders to see her injuries.
It was summer, and she was wearing a white short-sleeved school uniform. Her skin was white and delicate, and there was a purple mark on her shoulder. The girl accidentally touched it, and she cried in pain.
Li Jun wanted to take her to the infirmary.
The basketball in He Zheng's hand seemed to have eyes. He aimed at Li Jun's shoulder and smashed it hard. After that, he said sorry to him and said he didn't mean it.
He did it on purpose, for two whole months.
Li Jun is on the school basketball team. He Zheng had been invited by their captain before, but he ignored it. After Wen Ruan was hit, he joined the school team after a basketball game.
He specifically picked Li Jun's court and only played against him, not giving him a single chance to score. In every court he would look for opportunities to hit him on the shoulder with the ball. Shen Yifan would cover for him, so no one could tell he did it on purpose.
Li Jun was so embarrassed that he was angry at first, but the angrier he got, the harder it was for him to win. Finally, he challenged him to a fight. He Zheng defeated him in one go and warned him not to set his sights on Wen Ruan.
Later, Li Jun would avoid Wen Ruan whenever he saw him.
Fortunately, Yao Man's glass of wine did not hit her.
Otherwise, he was really afraid that he would not be able to control the violent temper in his body and beat Yao Man in public.
…
He Zheng's strength became tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to merge her into his bones and blood. Wen Ruan almost couldn't breathe in his arms.
By this time, Yao Man had already left, and the onlookers had also dispersed. She let go of her hand and patted his arm, wanting to see how his back was. The blow just now must have left a bruise on it.
However, before she could open her mouth, He Zheng's phone rang.
Shen Yifan said from the side, "Hurry up and answer the phone. You're hugging me too tightly. I can't breathe, but I don't want to push you away."
There was a teasing smile in his words.
Hearing this, He Zheng immediately let go of his hand and looked down at Wen Ruan, "I'm sorry."
Wen Ruan said it was okay, "Hurry up and answer the phone."
He Zheng took out his cell phone from his pocket and glanced at it. There was no note on the call, but he recognized it. It was the number of Yao Wei's secretary. Yao Wei had called from this number last time.
Maybe it was because Yao Man complained that Yao Wei called to scold him.
He Zheng didn't plan to answer it, but he had to leave for a while.
His entire back was numb and painful, so he had to go to the bathroom to wash his face and wipe his back, which was all wet and very uncomfortable.
Shen Yifan saw that he had been enduring it, and knew that he was worried about Wen Ruan, so he reached out and patted his shoulder.
"You go answer the phone, I'll stay with Wen Ruan. Don't worry, I promise to take good care of him."
He Zheng made a solemn promise, but as soon as he left, Shen Yifan received a call.
I don't know what the other party said. His face changed from shock to extreme ugliness. He pursed his lips and said nothing the whole time. He only said with a cold face at the end:
"I'll be there in twenty minutes!"
He was about to leave after he finished speaking, but suddenly remembered something, stopped, and turned to look at Wen Ruan.
"My wife fell and she's pregnant... She's in the hospital and isn't doing well... I..."
Too anxious, too emotional, and my words were a bit incoherent.
"Ah, then go quickly," Wen Ruan interrupted him, took the champagne from his hand, and urged: "Go to the hospital quickly."
"and you……"
"There are so many people here. I'm fine. Your wife is the most important thing right now. Hurry up."
Shen Yifan really couldn't take care of her at this moment. After giving her a simple instruction, he ran to the door. Wen Ruan looked at his back and prayed for him silently.
Shen Yifan got married after graduating from university. Wen Ruan received the invitation, but she was still in Rongcheng at that time and did not come back. She only sent him a red envelope.
I heard that Shen Yifan and his wife were childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship.
However, Shen Yifan had never brought his wife to a party like tonight, where family members were allowed to attend. Almost no one in the circle had ever seen his wife. Moreover, she seemed to have never seen a wedding ring on Shen Yifan's hand...
All I can say is that every family has its own problems.
He Zheng hadn't come back yet, so Wen Ruan went out with some champagne to get some fresh air and found a more secluded place, but someone still came looking for him.
"Ruan Ruan."
The voice sounded familiar. Wen Ruan turned around and saw that it was indeed Jiang Qingyan.
