The onlookers realized why the Ye family patriarch had suddenly become enraged in public.
The Ruan family is one of the most powerful families in the country, yet they are unwilling to spend money even on medical treatment for their own daughter.
The onlookers sneered, "That's why they say they're rich; they've earned it all by being stingy."
"If our child gets sick, we'll sell everything we own to hire the best doctor. We can't afford to delay our child's treatment."
"Just a few days ago, the news was reporting on the Ruan Group's lavish charity work, but I never expected them to be so heartless towards children in private. I'm afraid their charity work is just a sham."
Ye Tian waved his hand, and five or six blond-haired, blue-eyed doctors got out of the luxury car behind him. "These are doctors that our Ye family invited overnight from Australia and Germany to arrange a treatment plan for Yu'er. I consulted many doctors, and they all said that Yu'er's current condition is not serious enough to require corneal transplantation. I really don't know what your intentions are as her father!"
Ruan Zhengde's face was not good, but he still tried to remain calm. "Dad, it was my fault. I was thinking that it would be faster to just replace the cornea. I really didn't mean to be reluctant to spend money on Yu'er. No matter what, our Ruan family is not so stingy as to not be willing to spend this little bit of money."
He didn't notice that Ye Huanhuan was standing to the side, watching his performance with a complicated expression.
Ye Huanhuan had already asked someone to check at the hospital. The doctor did mention to Ruan Zhengde that if they had the ability, they could invite some of the world's top ophthalmologists to arrange a conservative treatment plan for Yu'er, which would be more beneficial to Ruan Yu'er's vision recovery in the long run. However, Ruan Zhengde refused without hesitation.
The doctor also said that if the lesion is not completely cured, even with a corneal transplant, it may recur, and then Ruan Yu'er will have no chance of treatment at all.
But Ruan Zhengde still refused.
This deeply hurt Ye Huanhuan.
If it weren't for Ruan Chen, she might still be kept in the dark by Ruan Zhengde, thinking that he loved Yu'er so much that he was willing to sacrifice Ruan Chen.
But in reality, he didn't care about either of his two daughters; he only cared about maximizing his own interests.
Ye Tian carried Ruan Yu'er and led the doctor into the hospital. He had already discussed with the doctors in Jingzhou and arranged a conservative treatment plan for Ruan Yu'er.
"Dad..." Ruan Chen, the mastermind behind all this, looked innocent and tugged at Ruan Zhengde's hand.
Ruan Zhengde's plan failed, and he waved his hand impatiently. Ruan Chen stumbled and fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face in grievance.
This scene was clearly seen by the onlookers.
"This little girl must also be a child of the Ruan family, right? She's so beautiful."
"He took his anger out on his other daughter after his father-in-law found out. What a scoundrel! If I had such a beautiful daughter, I would cherish her every day and be afraid that she would get hurt!"
"If you ask me, the Ruan family isn't necessarily trying to save money; they probably don't care. They're just too lazy to put in the effort for their daughter, too lazy to go through the trouble of bringing in a doctor from abroad for her. If it were a son, they would definitely be anxious!"
"So this is a wealthy and prestigious family? We treat boys and girls equally. Is this big family starting to discriminate?"
These rumors also reached Ruan Zhengde's ears.
He glared at Ye Huanhuan fiercely, "Dad and I are fine here at the hospital. You take Ruan Chen back first."
When he returned home, Ruan Luo, who had been sent to a training camp by Ruan Zhengde, was actually at home.
With their legs up and the air conditioning on, they were having a great time playing motion-sensing games.
"What the hell? Why are you back?"
When Ruan Luo saw that it was Ye Huanhuan, she didn't care at all. "I thought it was Dad who came back. It's nothing. I don't want to go to school anymore. It's boring, I can't learn it, and my classmates are all laughing at me."
"You'd better get going before your dad gets back! You're starting high school soon, and you're still acting like this. You only got a little over 200 on the high school entrance exam. Do you want your dad to beat you up again?!"
Ruan Luo threw down the game console, glanced impatiently at Ye Huanhuan, went upstairs to her room, and slammed the door shut with a "bang".
That evening, Ruan Zhengde returned.
Also returning were Ruan Yu'er and several members of the Ye family, including the doctor Ye Tian had hired from overseas. They would stay until Ruan Yu'er's vision returned to normal.
At the dining table, Ye Tian naturally took the seat of honor.
When Ruan Luo came downstairs, Ruan Zhengde's face was obviously gloomy, but he did not reprimand her out of consideration for the Ye family. He said indifferently, "It's good that you came back to rest if you're tired. Go back tomorrow."
"I'm not going back," Ruan Luo said, relying on the presence of her maternal grandfather's family today.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Zhengde did not react, but simply said to eat first.
At the dinner table, Ruan Zhengde said in front of the Ye family, "Chenchen, your corneas are no longer needed by Yu'er. Didn't you take away 21% of the shares from your mother? Give them back."
Ruan Zhengde said this deliberately in front of the Ye family.
He had discovered that his biological daughter was actually closer to her stepmother, and he wanted to sow discord between them, hoping to make the Ye family dislike this daughter who had returned home halfway through her life.
Ye Tian frowned coldly, "Zhengde, were you planning to use this little girl's cornea from the beginning?"
"Yes, Chenchen and Yu'er are sisters, and they are about the same age. Chenchen is willing to make sacrifices for her younger sister. Besides, I have compensated her - she now holds 21% of the Ye Group shares and 3% of the Ruan Group shares."
“The shares,” Ruan Chen slowly swallowed his food, “I gave them to my sister. We signed the contract last night.”
She went upstairs and retrieved a share transfer agreement, then casually handed it to Ye Tian, who was sitting in the main seat, saying, "Grandpa, please take a look."
Ye Tian was somewhat shocked; this 21% stake had always been a thorn in his side.
In particular, after discovering in recent years that Ruan Zhengde was somewhat dishonest and that the husband he had chosen for his daughter was the wrong person, he had been worried that if Huanhuan and Ruan Zhengde were to separate their businesses in the future, the shares of the Ye Group would be lost.
But if it were in Ruan Yu'er's hands, then it would no longer be a hidden danger.
He opened the document, and sure enough, it was a share transfer agreement!
Ruan Zhengde was somewhat embarrassed; he hadn't expected Ruan Chen to pull such a stunt!
He had coveted these shares for over a decade, but it all came to nothing!
Ruan Chen chewed on the juicy bell pepper, concealing the smile on her lips. She was determined to sabotage Ruan Zhengde's plans little by little.
Ye Tian coughed twice to cover up his joy, and his gaze toward Ruan Chen became more affectionate.
He didn't like the girl at first, and was always worried that a child from the slums would bully his innocent granddaughter.
"Look at you, child! You've given Yu'er such a wonderful gift. How can I possibly thank you enough? Don't be so formal. Since you've called Huanhuan 'Mom,' I'm your grandfather now. I'll treat you the same way I treated Yu'er! Huanhuan, remember to bring your eldest daughter with you when you go back to your parents' home. I love this girl!"
Ruan Chen immediately smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Grandpa!"
