She sat in the main seat, her eyes revealing weariness, but her smile was radiant and impeccable.
Su Jin dressed very casually and walked behind her without making a sound, handing her hot water and a pill.
It can suppress pregnancy nausea and vomiting.
For some reason, Ruan Yunhan's pregnancy was exceptionally difficult, and she had severe morning sickness.
Yu Wanqing and Ruan Zhengde are both in prison. After Ruan Yunhan showed the Ruan family her ambition to seize power, no one in the Ruan family took care of her.
Fortunately, Su Jin was not short of money. He rented an apartment for Ruan Yunhan near the Ruan Group and hired a nanny to take care of her three meals a day.
That day, after Ruan Yunhan asked Su Jin whether his kindness towards her stemmed from guilt or true love, their relationship became strained.
Ruan Yunhan had always been suppressed in front of Su Jin—Su Jin was ruthless and would slap her at the drop of a hat. In addition, he had dirt on Ruan Yunhan, so she was like a docile Pekingese dog in front of Su Jin.
The two appear to be a couple in public, but their relationship in private is hard to say.
It wasn't until in country M, when she risked her life to take a knife for Su Jin in order to gamble, that Su Jin broke into the villa on the hillside and took her away. With Ruan Chen's quiet help, the two went to country F, where their relationship began to resemble that of a couple.
In F country, Su Jin's attitude towards her became much gentler. Although he would still occasionally reveal a venomous look in her eyes, it was much better than before.
And now, Ruan Yunhan, who was diagnosed by doctors as having a very low chance of conceiving, is pregnant with his child.
When Ruan Yunhan saw the two bright red lines on the test strip, she knew she had won her gamble.
From that moment on, she and Su Jin would be entangled for life.
And Su Jin certainly didn't disappoint her; he's a promising prospect.
Ruan Yunhan took the medicine from Su Jin's hand with a nonchalant expression, swallowed it, and acted coldly and arrogantly, as if Su Jin were her servant.
But Su Jin clearly didn't mind Ruan Yunhan's little tantrum at this moment. He smiled indulgently, plucked a strand of hair from Ruan Yunhan's shoulder, and then walked to sit down in the audience below.
Ruan Chen was also present, in an inconspicuous corner.
She had her laptop propped up on her lap and was typing away rapidly.
Ruan Yunhan also saw the girl in the corner, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
But this feeling of complexity lasted only a moment. She quickly composed herself, stood up, faced the reporters and guests below, and said, "Thank you all for coming to today's press conference. My name is Ruan Yunhan, and I will be the new president of the Ruan Group to answer your questions on behalf of the group."
"The reason why the Nguyen Group chose this time to hold a press conference is twofold: firstly, to provide an explanation to the public regarding the matter of former president Nguyen Chinh Duc; and secondly, to answer everyone's questions about the Nguyen Group's recent developments..."
The flashes below were pointed at her, and the clicking of camera shutters was incessant.
Ruan Yunhan suddenly felt a little dazed.
It all felt like a dream.
This was a dream she had had more than once since she was eight years old.
To achieve what she has today, she schemed against her own brother, sent her biological father to prison, made her biological mother go to jail in her place, and harmed her blood-related sister more than once.
Yet she still made it this far.
Ruan Chen was submitting her competition registration form, carefully going through the key information item by item, when someone walked up and sat down next to her.
“I didn’t expect you to help Yunhan on such a crucial matter,” Su Jin said softly. “I am very grateful to you.”
Ruan Chen scoffed, continuing to fill out the form without even looking up, "I thought you were going to say that she was also grateful to me."
A strange expression appeared on Su Jin's face.
As one of the few people in the world who understood Ruan Yunhan very well, he knew very well that Ruan Yunhan was not that grateful to Ruan Chen—although the reason she was able to rise to power was because the Ye family stood firmly behind her.
But both sides knew they were just using each other.
From now on, Ruan Yunhan will be bound by the Ye family. In fact, before the press conference even started, the deputy heads of several important departments of the Ruan Group had already been replaced by Ye family confidants.
Su Jin knew this in his heart, but he still had to maintain appearances. He said, "Yunhan just doesn't say it, but Miss Ruan's help has indeed saved Yunhan a lot of trouble, especially since she is currently unwell."
“It’s alright, she doesn’t need to say it. The Ye family only needs her obedience and loyalty.” Ruan Chen finished filling in the last item, finally turned her head, and her light chestnut eyes met Su Jin’s.
Her eyes were very light in color, yet they gave off a feeling of being as deep and cold as a pool.
“I think the Su family is the same, so Mr. Su, as her husband, you must keep a close eye on your fiancée,” Ruan Chen said lightly, as if gloating. “She’s a real problem.”
Su Jin was helpless. He didn't understand why Ruan Chen, who clearly had the blood of the Ye and Su families flowing in her veins, would act like an outsider watching the show.
According to seniority, Ruan Chen is the illegitimate daughter of his maternal uncle, so he is her brother. Logically, there should be a bloodline to suppress her, but Su Jin always subconsciously tenses up in front of Ruan Chen, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Su Jin was somewhat frustrated; it seemed that his uncle's bloodline was still more powerful.
But... he came to see Ruan Chen not just to get closer to her.
These past few days, the main branch of the Su family has been staying in Jingzhou, at Su Jin's place. That group of people is troublesome and has a lot of issues. Most of the time Su Jin spends with them, he is restraining the urge to slap each of them.
Therefore, it was inconvenient for him to take Ruan Yunhan back to his own home. He stayed at Ruan Chen's place for one night and then rented a place the next day.
These people came to inquire about Su Ze's whereabouts.
Or rather, they came to confirm Su Ze's death.
Su Ze has been missing for too long.
Su Tan of the Su family, who was supposed to hand over Su Ze's businesses to the Su family, betrayed them at a crucial moment and, together with Su Ze's illegitimate daughter of unknown origin, ruthlessly seized control of all of Su Ze's businesses.
Leaving aside Su Ze's illegitimate daughter, the Su family is not familiar with her, but Su Tan grew up in the Su family's main residence and has now settled down on Liuli Island, practically another Su Ze.
A few days ago, the Su family sent people to negotiate with Su Tan, but they left in a sorry state before the plane even landed.
The Su family could only set their sights on Su Ze's illegitimate daughter—according to Su Ying and Su Han, whom they had previously sent to Liuli Island, she was a little girl who hadn't even reached adulthood yet.
However, her identity is a bit complicated. For some reason, she is Su Ze's illegitimate daughter, but Ruan Zhengde is her biological father in a legal sense, and Ye Tian is her maternal grandfather in a legal sense.
At the time, the Su family members exclaimed that Su Ze truly lived up to his name, not even hesitating to cuckold the richest man.
If it weren't for the fear that a hasty visit would anger Ruan Zhengde, the Su family would never have confronted Ruan Chen directly.
But now that Ruan Chen has no connection with the Ruan family, it's the Su family's turn to take the stage.
Su Jin cautiously spoke, turning to Ruan Chen, who was packing her laptop bag beside her, "I'm asking you, why do you keep refusing to acknowledge that you're a member of the Su family?"
