“Mr. Ruan, you only have one daughter, do you intend to sell two families?” Mr. Song’s face darkened.
The Nguyen Group has yet to recover from the turmoil it experienced last time.
The stock price has fallen by a full 17 percent. Nearly 500 million yuan has been spent on various project default penalties, compensation, and lost wages. More seriously, the reputation of the Nguyen Group has been damaged. Many companies have terminated further cooperation with the Nguyen Group, and the Nguyen Group has recently found it difficult to secure orders.
In the latest round of market value assessment, the Xu family emerged as a dark horse, followed closely by the Yu family, while the Ruan family surprisingly fell to fourth place.
This is an unprecedented situation in recent years, and Ruan Zhengde's position on the board of directors has become precarious, so he is eager to use all available resources to turn the tide for himself.
Even if the resource is his own daughter.
The Song family promised to transfer a piece of land in the suburbs that had been sold for the same price as the original land price thirty years ago to the Ruan family in exchange for a marriage alliance with Ruan Yunhan.
The original transaction price was 120 million yuan. Over the years, real estate prices have risen all the way up, more than ten times the original price.
It is said that there is a municipal project near that land that is scheduled to start construction in the next two years.
This offer was very tempting to Ruan Zhengde. If he could successfully acquire the land and do some development, he might not only be able to recover the losses of this period but also make a fortune, allowing the Ruan family to return to the top of the rich list.
Ruan Zhengde didn't even bother to glance at Su Jin, who had suddenly appeared. He knew that his eldest daughter had been involved with many men in ambiguous relationships, but he could tolerate it—after all, her final marriage would be arranged by her family anyway.
Ruan Zhengde naturally knew that the man who had just barged into the villa on the hillside was his daughter's recent boyfriend.
He also casually looked up the Su family, and then sighed inwardly that his daughter's tastes were becoming less and less discerning, even liking such a humble family.
He smiled and reassured Mr. Song, "It's just kids being silly, don't take it to heart. Young people, who hasn't made mistakes when they're impulsive? But if you really bring disaster upon your family for a woman, that's not worth it."
His last words were clearly meant for Su Jin.
Su Jin completely ignored him and calmly asked Ruan Yunhan, "Are you coming with me?"
Ruan Yunhan's previously blank eyes suddenly brightened. She hesitated for three or five seconds, then nodded.
“If you come with me, there will be no turning back,” Su Jin said, looking at her. “You know, it’s not easy for me to stay by your side either; it might not be much better than your current situation.”
His tone when speaking to Ruan Yunhan at this moment was far from tender, not even gentle; it was rather stern and solemn, more like he was discussing a huge business deal.
Ruan Yunhan hesitated for a longer time this time, but finally nodded and said clearly, "I'll go with you."
“Fine.” Su Jin completely disregarded Ruan Zhengde, pushed her into her wheelchair, and walked straight outside.
Ruan Zhengde, his face ashen, called over security guards. "Mr. Su, aren't you showing too little respect for the Ruan family?"
Surrounded by the security personnel of the villa on the hillside, Su Jin finally spoke his first words to Ruan Zhengde, "Mr. Ruan, Yunhan and I are in a consensual relationship. What reason do you have to stop her?"
"Because I've raised her for twenty years!" Ruan Zhengde waved his hand, "Someone, take the young lady back to her bedroom to rest!"
After confirming that Ruan Yunhan was unharmed, Su Jin left the hospital. When he returned to the hospital after finishing his business, he learned that Ruan Yunhan had already been picked up by the Ruan family.
He also learned about what had happened to Ruan Yunhan in the past few days. His visit to the Ruan family was actually just to see her and ask her what her next steps were.
Unexpectedly, I stumbled upon a blind date.
If Ruan Zhengde really refuses to release them, then the matter will indeed be very troublesome, as the Su family's strength in China is insufficient to confront the Ruan family head-on.
"Yunhan, can you give me a little more time?" he asked in a low voice.
Ruan Chen was a little disappointed. She had thought that Ruan Zhengde's move would test Su Jin's true strength, but she didn't expect Su Jin to be so flexible and adaptable.
“Hey, I said, let them go,” Ruan Yunhan tapped the railing lightly with her cup and raised her voice, “Mr. Ruan, breaking up a couple is a sin against one’s morals.”
Her mental strength had not yet recovered, and her voice was somewhat weak, but there was no shortage of sarcasm in her tone.
When Ruan Zhengde heard her speak, he looked up. He wanted to reprimand Ruan Chen, but after experiencing the explosion at the Ruan Group, the words of reprimand stuck in his chest and he couldn't say them.
Those unfathomable eyes, with their ambiguous smile yet utterly cold gaze, made him instinctively want to look away.
Su Jincai then noticed that there was a girl on the second floor who was watching them the whole time.
He bowed slightly in greeting.
Although Ruan Chen didn't understand why Su Jin was being so polite to her, she nodded nonetheless.
Mr. Song interrupted, his eyes glaring at Ruan Chen as if he wanted to devour her alive. "Little girl, if you want your sister to leave, then come to our Song family."
Ruan Chen paused for two seconds, then nodded, "I'll have the chance to go back. Mr. Song, please don't be unwelcome then."
She wasn't so saintly as to stand up for Ruan Yunhan, but she could roughly guess that Ruan Zhengde wanted to use Ruan Yunhan to exchange for something from the Song family.
The Song family has a prime piece of land that's a hot potato. Developing it would definitely double its value, but the Song family doesn't have enough funds. However, they certainly wouldn't be willing to sell it directly.
If they could use this prime piece of land, which they couldn't possibly take or give up, to establish a marriage alliance with the Ruan family, that would be an incredibly worthwhile deal.
But Nguyen Trinh didn't want to give Nguyen Chinh Duc the slightest chance to turn the tables.
She took out her phone and looked at Su Jin, "I'll teach you how to take someone away from Chairman Ruan. Listen carefully, I'll only teach you once, and I guarantee you'll learn it."
"Hello, I need to call the police. There's illegal detention at this villa on the hillside," Ruan Chen said, ignoring the scene on the first floor, as she lazily walked towards her bedroom in her slippers. "Yes, it's been over twelve hours, a whole day and night. The person being detained is in very poor health, and it might involve human trafficking..."
