Just as Zhao Liuran was about to speak, Zhao Anyan immediately said, "Uncle, it's nothing. It's just that I unintentionally offended Qingling at the last gathering. She seemed quite angry that day, and when I saw her today, I wanted to apologize to her again."
Taking advantage of this moment, Zhao Liuran said, "We're all family, so let's talk things out."
Zhao Anyan looked at Ruan Qingling and said with a smile, "Yes, Qingling, please forgive me for the sake of us being family. I was really ignorant and narrow-minded before."
Ruan Qingling gazed at Zhao Anyan with a leisurely look.
Taking the opportunity, Zhao Anyan reached out and put her arm around Ruan Qingling's arm, acting like they were best buddies: "I apologize to you. How about we go shopping together this weekend and I buy you a dress to make up for it?"
Just as Ruan Qingling was about to pull her hand away, Zhao Liuran spoke up first: "I think it's good. If you don't mind that I'm old, I'll go shopping with you this weekend."
Ruan Qingling smiled slightly and said, "Second Aunt, I have plenty of clothes, so I don't need to buy any more. I won't have room for them anyway. Besides, I'm going to Second Uncle's company this weekend."
Ruan Mushan immediately said, "Yes, yes, I asked her to squeeze in time to come to the company. She has to go to school, take care of the child, and do other things. She probably doesn't have enough time. Let's reschedule the shopping trip for another day!"
Zhao Liuran was unhappy!
Although she didn't mind Ruan Mushan leaving his family fortune to Ruan Qingling, Ruan Qingling's ulterior motives were too obvious.
It hasn't been long, and they've already called the company!
Zhao Anyan was also secretly surprised.
Zhao Anyan thought to herself, "Ruan Qingling is just revealing her true intentions!"
Ultimately, it all comes down to her uncle's wealth.
Ruan Qingling is so poor she doesn't even bother to hide her poverty!
Zhao Anyan glanced at Zhao Liuran, her eyes clearly saying: See, see, see, her purpose is so obvious!
Because of what Zhao Anyan had said to her before, Zhao Liuran felt uncomfortable hearing these words now.
Ruan Qingling noticed that something was off between the two of them, but if Zhao Anyan wanted to get angry, let her get angry; her angry face was truly ugly!
Ugly people tend to cause trouble; this is an inevitable outcome.
On the contrary, she and Ruan Mushan found themselves getting along better and better as they talked about the current market economy situation, economic development, and future opportunities.
Ruan Qingling's ideas coincided with Ruan Mushan's.
Ruan Mushan trusted and appreciated her more and more.
Although Zhao Anyan is a reporter, she doesn't pay attention to economic news. Although she knows a lot of information, it's too scattered.
Therefore, when discussing these topics, her insights and understanding are definitely not as good as Ruan Qingling's.
In Ruan Mushan's eyes, the difference in their abilities was immediately apparent, which made Ruan Qingling's excellence all the more apparent.
Zhao Anyan was unaware that the more she talked, the more she was helping Ruan Qingling succeed.
Ruan Qingling left after finishing her meal.
Zhao Anyan followed her.
The couple remained.
Zhao Liuran asked, "You seem very happy today?"
She was very unhappy inside, but her expression remained calm.
Ruan Mushan nodded and said, "Yes, A-Ling is a really good child."
The only regret is that she is not his biological daughter, but fortunately, she is his brother's child, so they are related by blood, which is acceptable.
Zhao Liuran wore her displeasure on her face this time.
Ruan Mushan asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Zhao Liuran and Ruan Mushan are the same age, and Ruan Mushan knows her somewhat.
She said, "You like A-Ling, and she is indeed a good girl, I admit that. But don't you think she has ulterior motives?"
Ruan Mushan paused for a moment and asked, "What is her purpose? I think she is a really good child. There are not many people her age who have such abilities."
Knowing that she couldn't change Ruan Mushan's impression of Ruan Qingling in a short time, Zhao Liuran said, "I just feel that her goal is too obvious. It seems that she just wants your property."
“We don’t have any children, so it doesn’t matter who our assets go to in the future, I have no objection to that. But the biggest problem is that our family’s assets don’t just belong to you, they also belong to me.”
Ruan Mushan sensed that his wife's words had a hidden meaning, or even something else entirely.
He asked, "What's the thought behind your statement? Why don't you just say it?"
Zhao Liuran didn't mince words; she had only been married to Ruan Mushan for a few years.
After marriage, the couple's property becomes joint property, and Ruan Mushan earned quite a lot of money after marriage.
She said, "We need to seriously consider the issue of the return of our property after we pass away. Of course, I want to find a child we can entrust to inherit everything. I have no objection to your choice of her as your goddaughter."
“I’ve always felt that both your brother’s family and our side owe this child a debt, and it’s only right to give her some compensation. But if she’s asking for too much and wants everything from us, I feel very disgusted.”
Ruan Mushan suddenly burst into laughter and said, "You're really overthinking it. What do you mean she's been too greedy? Look at what she's done; everything she's done has been helpful to me. She hasn't taken any money from me. How could you have such thoughts?"
Faced with her husband's lack of understanding, Zhao Liuran felt that her husband must have been cursed.
She said, "If she hadn't been so calculating, wouldn't she have treated me better?"
Ruan Mushan was stunned and asked, "What kind of logic is that? She is a student, a mother, a daughter-in-law, and a daughter. She has so many identities. No matter what she does, she will be lacking in other aspects."
“You can’t expect her to be perfect. Besides, you said you were upset because she didn’t agree to go shopping with you on the weekend.”
"Because she already agreed before you even spoke, do you still want her to be in two places at once? Besides, I think the business is more important."
After saying this, he turned and walked towards the study, no longer looking at Zhao Liuran.
Because he felt that what his wife said was not a problem at all.
Zhao Liuran stood there, a little angry.
Ruan Mushan actually stopped talking halfway through his sentence and then ignored her.
This is all because of Ruan Qingling; otherwise, this situation wouldn't have occurred!
...
On the third day, Song Meili and Song Meiling still couldn't identify who was behind them.
We tried many methods, but we couldn't get the person out.
Ruan Huaizhu even suspected that these two idiots had no one behind them.
Ruan Qingling shook her head and said, "No, I know these two people too well. They don't have the courage or the brains. Perhaps... the consequences of speaking out are more tempting than what we offer, forcing them to keep quiet?"
She was certain someone was there.
Another point is that Ruan Huaizhu checked the list provided by Song Wei.
However, nothing was found. Those people had previously been in contact with Nguyen Mei Ying, and continuing down this path would take a lot of time.
“Perhaps we are heading in the wrong direction,” Ruan Huaizhu said.
Ruan Qingling frowned: "Then let's pause and stop investigating in this direction."
“This person is very mysterious,” Ruan Huaizhu said. “I think it must be a woman.”
Ruan Qingling said, "I feel the same way."
Ruan Huaixiu said from the side, "I'm very curious, who has a grudge against us?"
Ruan Qingling paused for a moment: "If that's the case, I can only think of two people."
