Ruan Zhengde finally realized that his daughter's obedience in the previous two months was all an act.
But it doesn't matter.
Once she goes blind, he can easily take back these shares.
He had been eyeing Ye Huanhuan's 21% stake in the Ye Group for a long time and had mentioned it to her several times. However, Ye Huanhuan, who was usually obedient, was very firm on this matter and refused to budge no matter what.
Once Ruan Chen becomes a beautiful blind man who can be manipulated by anyone, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to get his hands on those 21% of the shares?
That's what swayed him. He pretended to scold her, "Chenchen, look at you, why are you making such a fuss? Your parents will give you whatever you want. Besides, everything the Ruan family owns will be yours in the future. Don't be so cunning, you're just a kid."
On the way to complete the share transfer procedures, Ruan Zhengde stopped Ye Huanhuan and asked softly, "Those are the shares you value most, and you're just giving them to her with a child like this?"
To his surprise, Ye Huanhuan, who had spoken up for Ruan Chen yesterday, suddenly changed her attitude and said coldly, "Won't she still be mine when she goes blind? It's so easy to coax a blind person into signing an agreement."
Ruan Zhengde believed that it was maternal love that made Ye Huanhuan harden her heart.
After the share transfer agreement was signed, Ruan Zhengde took Ruan Chen home and immediately arranged for people to monitor him.
Ruan Chen didn't take this to heart at all; she had already made it to the finals of the global tR design competition and was just one step away from the million-dollar prize.
She was focused on revising the design draft when Ruan Yu'er's tender voice rang out from outside.
"Sister, may I come in?"
"Come in."
Ruan Yu'er ran barefoot to Ruan Chen and started crying before she could even speak.
"Sister, I don't want your eyes... but Dad says they're the best for me. Don't worry, sister, Yu'er will treat you even better from now on, and will be good to you for the rest of my life..."
Ruan Chen looked at Ruan Yu'er with a mixture of amusement and sadness.
What was she doing when she was ten years old?
She endured beatings from her stepfather in a squalid slum, fought with a much taller homeless man over a can at a landfill, and stole old books and newspapers from a scrap yard...
Oh, and there's also the part about beating a thug half to death in an alley in the middle of the night who tried to grope you, then picking up a sharp steel pipe and stabbing it between the thug's legs.
She envied Ruan Yu'er's innocent nature, which stemmed from being pampered.
"Yu'er, if your eyes could regain their sight, what would you want to do?"
"I want to learn many things I like. I don't want to learn those useless things that Dad has arranged for me to learn!"
What if Dad doesn't allow it?
Ruan Yu'er said slyly, "Then I'll learn it secretly!"
Ruan Chen smiled and patted her head. "Go play somewhere else, I have something to do."
Ruan Yu'er was reluctant to leave, so her nanny came in and carried her out. She glanced at Ruan Chen warily and said loudly, "Young Miss, Master said that you should have less contact with the Eldest Miss during this period. If you don't listen, I will tell Master!"
Ruan Chen noticed that Ruan Yu'er seemed very afraid of the old woman, glancing at her timidly.
Ruan Chen clicked the submit button below the work and said seemingly casually, "Why do I hear a dog barking at its master? Yu'er, you need to keep your dog in check, otherwise she won't be able to tell who her master is in this house."
The old woman was indeed getting anxious, but she couldn't directly confront Ruan Chen. Instead, she said to Ruan Yu'er, "Our young lady is the most obedient. She shouldn't hang out with those shady, low-class people all the time. Our young lady is so innocent; sooner or later, she'll be sold off by these unscrupulous people!"
Ruan Chen chuckled, walked up to the old woman, grabbed Ruan Yu'er, stood on tiptoe, and swung his arm to slap her across the face!
The old woman's mouth was bleeding from the slap, and she glared at Ruan Chen with venomous eyes. "You just wait!"
Ruan Zhengde was at the company, and Ye Huanhuan arrived soon after. The old woman beside her was crying and recounting Ruan Chen's evil deeds.
"Yu'er, what happened?"
The nanny thought that the young lady she had raised would speak up for her, but Ruan Yu'er said, "Nanny won't let me play with my sister, and she even said that my sister is a shameless and lowly person! That's why my sister hit her!"
The old woman looked on incredulously, pointing a finger at Ruan Chen, "It's all your fault! You've corrupted the young lady! You are..."
In front of Ruan Yu'er and Ye Huanhuan, Ruan Chen slapped her again, giving her a symmetrical slap.
"Yu'er, do you see that? This is how dogs should be trained."
Ye Huanhuan, who is usually gentle and mild-mannered at home, did not stop Ruan Chen and tacitly approved of his behavior.
After a long talk with Ruan Chen yesterday, Ye Huanhuan realized that there were many things about Ruan Chen that her daughter could learn from, things that even she, as a mother, couldn't teach.
For example, the pursuit of freedom, and the resistance against injustice.
Ye Huanhuan also hoped that Ruan Yuer would forge her own path.
When Ruan Zhengde returned home that evening, he immediately discovered that the nanny he had arranged for Ruan Yu'er had been replaced.
Ye Huanhuan found someone she trusted from the Ye family to take care of Ruan Yuer's food, clothing, and shelter.
"Huanhuan, where's Aunt Liu?"
Ruan Chen said, "Dad, that aunt called me a slut today and said I was neither fish nor fowl, so I chased her away."
Ruan Zhengde has been very tolerant of Ruan Chen lately, and nodded, "These are all minor matters. As long as you are not wronged, you can do whatever you want. Chenchen, pack your things and go to the hospital tomorrow."
Hospital.
Ruan Chen obediently held Ruan Zhengde's hand and followed him to the inpatient department. Just then, several luxury cars stopped at the hospital entrance.
An elderly man with half his hair turned gray but was still very energetic got out of the car and shouted at Ruan Zhengde, "Zhengde, what are you doing!"
"Grandpa!" Ruan Yu'er turned around. Although she could no longer see the person clearly, she knew it was her grandfather's voice.
At this moment, people were coming and going at the hospital entrance. Hearing the old man's shout, they all stopped to watch the commotion.
"This old man is in good spirits, and he looks very familiar."
"That's right, the head of the Ye family. Look at the car he drives, tsk tsk tsk, he's really rich and powerful."
"Isn't that man in front of us the chairman of the Ruan Group? He's in the news every other day!"
"The Ruan family and the Ye family are related by marriage. What's going on here? The father-in-law and son-in-law are fighting?"
Ye Tian bent down and picked up Ruan Yu'er, who was running towards him. He stared at Ruan Zhengde and said angrily, "Zhengde, ever since Huanhuan followed you, she has been devoted to you and has borne you children. What are you up to now? Yu'er is still so young, and you actually want to harm her?"
"Dad, what do you mean by this?"
Ye Tian, his voice booming, said loudly, "You didn't even tell our Ye family that Yu'er had such a serious illness. Now there are clearly two treatment options, why did you choose the one with higher risk and lower price? Has your Ruan family fallen so low that you even have to cut back on the money for your child's medical treatment? It's fine, if you can't afford to hire doctors from overseas, our Ye family will pay for it. We absolutely cannot let our child suffer this injustice!"
