Ruan Zhengde forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Ruan Chen, I'm not comfortable with you, a child, holding onto the Ruan family shares. Perhaps we should wait until you're an adult..."
“Oh, that three percent? I gave it to my sister too,” Ruan Chen gave an innocent smile. “Grandpa, look, there’s a transfer agreement on the back.”
Ye Tian still wore a kind smile on his face, but he was overjoyed inside.
Three percent may not seem like much, but considering the size of the Nguyen Group, it's not a small amount. Moreover, it means that Nguyen Ngoc Er will have a place in the Nguyen Group in the future.
“Zhengde, look at this… The child is ignorant and thinks that the transfer of shares is like playing house, going back and forth like this. I think we should just forget about the Ruan Group shares and let Yu’er return them to you.”
"It's alright, Dad, no need." Ruan Zhengde couldn't possibly ask for it back in front of Ruan Yu'er's maternal grandfather, so he silently swallowed his anger.
But he also realized that Ruan Chen was not an honest and kind person.
After arranging for the Ye family and the doctor to stay in the guest rooms in the backyard, Ruan Zhengde called Ruan Luo over and began to settle accounts.
"You'll go back to training tomorrow. I hope you can achieve a result that satisfies me before the start of the new semester."
"I'm not going back."
"What did you say?" Ruan Zhengde was already furious, so he immediately pulled out his belt and lashed it at Ruan Luo.
Ruan Luo's eyes instantly turned red. She glared at Ruan Zhengde with hatred and roared, "If you like hitting me, then hit me to death! I've said it before, I'm not interested in the Ruan family's business! I want to study physical education, I want to study acting, but you don't listen or care at all! I deliberately scored over 200 on the high school entrance exam. You're rich, aren't you? Ten thousand yuan for every point, I just want him to pay the school selection fee!"
When he shouted those words, Ye Huanhuan was terrified and shielded Ruan Luo behind her.
But Ruan Zhengde did not pick up the belt again.
“Ruan Luo is what she is today because of your spoiled mother. If you don’t want to study, then don’t study. Dad will never take care of you again.” Ruan Zhengde looked at Ruan Luo with eyes full of disappointment. “I will support you until you graduate from university at the age of twenty-two. Then you can get out of the Ruan family.”
"And you, Ruan Chen."
While Ruan Chen was watching the show, she was suddenly prompted to look up and obediently call out, "Dad."
"After you finish junior high, you don't need to study anymore. Just stay at home and help your mother with the housework, learn some music, chess, calligraphy, painting, housework, and cooking. You're such an ungrateful child, there's no need for you to receive any education. You can't be tamed."
Ye Huanhuan was really anxious this time. She knew Ruan Chen's talent, but Ruan Zhengde actually stopped Ruan Chen from studying. He clearly wanted to completely ruin Ruan Chen's future!
Ruan Chen calmly held Ye Huanhuan's hand and smiled at Ruan Zhengde, "I'll listen to you, Dad."
She was just curious: since Ruan Luo's main account was clearly ruined, when was her scumbag father planning to create a new one?
Ruan Zhengde looks to be in good health; with a little effort, he should be able to have a son. It's just a pity for Ye Huanhuan.
"You're all here, Luo'er, Ruan Chen, I have something to tell you."
Before Ruan Zhengde could explain what it was about, Ye Huanhuan's expression changed. "Ruan Zhengde, how dare you bring those two back! I agree to let you bring Chen'er back because she's an orphan and pitiful, but those two... if you insist on bringing them back, we'll get a divorce!"
Ruan Zhengde looked at her as if she were an idiot. "Huanhuan, our marriage is an arranged one. Do you think you can just get a divorce like that?"
Ruan Zhengde stood up, leaving his wife and children behind, and went upstairs. "I will hold a banquet this weekend to reveal the identities of those two children—and Ruan Chen, you can also make an appearance in front of the aristocratic families. Huanhuan, prepare well, don't let our Ruan family lose face."
Ruan Chen finally realized what was going on and looked at Ruan Luo with sympathy.
It turns out this unlucky guy was the alt account.
-------------------------------------
Hillside villa.
The air was filled with the fragrance of fine clothes and the rustling of hair; wine cups clinked and toasts were exchanged.
When the Ruan family reunited, all those present were social celebrities and wealthy families.
Ye Huanhuan tried her best to apply eyeshadow to her red and swollen eyes, attempting to cover them up.
Ruan Luo has been unusually sensible these past few days, staying by Ye Huanhuan's side, repeatedly apologizing, and even stopping playing games.
Even Ruan Yu'er frowned, "Sister, why do I have a new brother and a new sister?"
“Because your dad… no, our dad is a scumbag,” Ruan Chen said while correcting Ruan Yu’er’s homework, “do you know what to do with the shares you hold?”
Ruan Yu'er adorably clenched her little fists, "I won't give it to anyone! No matter what! I won't give it to anyone!"
Ruan Chen couldn't help but kiss her little face. "You got all your homework right today, that's great. Actually, thinking about it from another perspective, having a new older brother or sister isn't a bad thing. That way, Dad won't have as much time to worry about you, right? Okay, let's go see your new older brother and sister."
Under the crystal chandelier, in front of the grand piano, a brother and sister are playing a four-hand duet, and elegant melodies flow from their fingertips.
When the music ended, the two stood up and politely bowed to the surrounding guests to express their gratitude, enjoying the wave of cheers.
Ruan Zhengde made a timely appearance, introducing the brother and sister who were playing the zither to the guests.
“These two children are the pride of our Ruan family. When they were young, due to some family issues, they lived and grew up abroad. Now that they have turned eighteen, I think it is time for them to return to their family and live with their relatives.”
The guests wore knowing smiles; they all knew what the family issues really meant.
It's just about keeping a mistress; such things are not uncommon in aristocratic families.
If a child from a concubine's family is truly outstanding, it's not impossible for them to rise to power within the main family, given the blood ties involved.
Ruan Chen asked Ye Huanhuan in a low voice, "Mom, who exactly are these two people?"
"The child he had with his first love, the artist who was like a white moonlight," Ye Huanhuan said with a bitter smile. "He hid this relationship and had Grandpa Ruan propose marriage to the Ye family. He only confessed to me after I gave birth to Luo'er. What could I do?"
Ruan Chen clicked his tongue, "This is truly shockingly scumbag."
"The older brother's name is Ruan Qin, and the younger sister's name is Ruan Yunhan. They are both seventeen years old. When I learned of their existence, Luo'er had just been born, and the two children were only a little over two years old."
Downstairs, Ruan Zhengde began to introduce the achievements and awards that the brother and sister had received.
Ruan Chen overheard this and decided to sign up to try it out, though she didn't know how much the prize money would be.
Ruan Qin and Ruan Yunhan share a similar pride, but Ruan Chen always felt that something was off about Ruan Yunhan.
Although she was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an elegant demeanor, a hint of coquettishness would always inadvertently slip out in her eyes, as if it had been deliberately cultivated.
"Next, I would like to introduce my second daughter, Ruan Chen, who is also the Ye family's granddaughter. She was not in good health before and was raised in the countryside."
After Ye Huanhuan revealed that Ruan Chen was her eldest daughter, the head of the Ye family also acknowledged Ruan Chen, and that dark past was completely buried.
Ruan Chen gracefully lifted her tulle skirt and lightly descended the stairs.
When Ruan Yunhan appeared just now, everyone was amazed by her beauty.
When Ruan Chen appeared, time seemed to freeze for a moment.
If Venus had a projection on earth, it would surely be her.
Ruan Chen smiled sweetly and said, "If you like me, you can applaud to welcome me."
In an instant, the guests smiled and applauded enthusiastically, completely erasing the amazement Ruan Yunhan had given them earlier.
Ruan Yunhan's eyes were filled with jealousy as she gripped Ruan Qin's hand tightly beside her.
"Little sister, don't be impatient, we have a long time ahead of us."
