Feng Yuankai, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, picked up a book and covered his face with it.
Despite being mocked by Ruan Chen, Director Zhang on the other side barely maintained his composure, saying, "Young lady, you're still young. Don't ruin your future by acting impulsively."
Just as Ruan Chen was about to retort, a thought suddenly occurred to her—was Ruan Zhengde quite free lately?
"It's alright, Uncle. My family has plenty of money. As long as it's a school I want to go to, we can buy our way in with money."
A casual display of bravado.
If we're talking about wealth, there aren't many families that can compare to the Ruan family.
Seeing that Ruan Chen was unmoved by either soft or hard tactics, Director Zhang felt that getting entangled with a high school student was beneath him, so he left with a sullen face.
Ruan Chen's words gave him a new idea: to put pressure on the Ruan family.
Ruan Chen is simply relying on the Ruan family to back him up. As long as the Ruan family is on his side, Ruan Chen will naturally have nothing to rely on and will obediently listen to them.
He didn't even say goodbye to Feng Yuankai when he left.
Feng Yuankai then removed the book from his face, looked in the direction the man surnamed Zhang had left, sighed that the younger generation these days had no manners, and then smiled at Ruan Chen, "You've learned to shift the blame?"
Ruan Chen raised his eyebrows. "Ruan Zhengde is just idling around anyway. Principal, I'll be going now."
She took a taxi straight to the Municipal Bureau. On the way, Ruan Zhengde started calling her one phone call after another. Ruan Chen didn't hang up, but she didn't answer either.
I just turned the book on silent and flipped through it haphazardly, flipping through the pages of the book I had brought with me when I left the classroom.
The text is densely packed with foreign language text, and contains many complex circuit diagrams.
At the entrance of the Municipal Bureau, Ruan Chen saw the Ruan family's car.
The people in the car honked twice, signaling Ruan Chen to come over.
Ruan Chen didn't even pause, too lazy to glance in that direction, and walked straight inside.
The driver chased after her, panting, and blocked Ruan Chen's path. "Miss Ruan, the master is looking for you. Please get in the car."
Ruan Chen walked around it, saying, "We can talk about it later. I have something urgent to attend to."
She tilted her head slightly, her sharp, piercing gaze seemingly penetrating the one-way glass and looking into the depths of the man sitting in the car.
Sure enough, he will never defend himself.
Fortunately, I never expected him to stand behind me.
After giving her statement, Xu Xiaolan waited at the door, glanced at the photo wall, and asked, "Did the man surnamed Zhang contact you?"
"They came to the school to look for me. I thought you wouldn't dare take this case, but it went quite smoothly."
Xu Xiaolan smiled and waved her hand, "Deputy Director Lü has put in a good word. As long as you can withstand the pressure, we'll be fine."
Xu Xiaolan saw Ruan Chen out and saw the luxury car parked at the door. She asked, "Looking for you?"
"Ruan Zhengde".
A coffee shop near the city bureau.
Nguyen Thanh refused to get into Nguyen Chinh Duc's car, saying he wanted to find a place to sit down and have a proper talk.
She casually placed the police report on the table, swaying slightly with the warm air blowing from the central air conditioning.
Ruan Zhengde's first words were, "Go and drop the case."
Ruan Chen didn't even lift her eyelids. Her fair and delicate fingers held a fine ceramic spoon, stirring the clinking ice cubes in the cup.
Just now, the Nguyen Group building was forcibly sealed off. Someone reported that there were explosives hidden in the building, and no one is allowed to enter the Nguyen Group building until the threat is eliminated.
Several of the Ruan family's factories were also sealed off due to fire hazards.
Ruan Zhengde did not come alone; he brought Ruan Yunhan with him, along with two relatives whom Ruan Chen had only met once.
Seeing that Ruan Chen did not answer, Ruan Zhengde introduced the people he had brought to Ruan Chen, "These two are members of the board of directors, your eldest uncle Ruan Zhengren and your second uncle Ruan Zhengxin. Ruan Chen, you should remember what your father said before, that the four of you children would compete for the right to inherit the Ruan family, but your current actions are putting our Ruan family in a difficult position."
Ruan Chen slowly said, "If I withdraw the case, it would be tantamount to admitting that your Ruan family's second young lady is indeed a despicable woman who seduces married women. Wouldn't that make the Ruan Group even more embarrassed?"
Ruan Yunhan, wanting to impress the board members, gently advised, "Sister, after you withdraw the case, the family will quickly manage the public relations to mitigate the negative impact this matter has had on you, and it won't affect your reputation in any way."
“Public relations are useless,” Ruan Chen said with elegant and slow-paced profanity. “What I want is for the person who spread the rumors to be punished in black and white. Only then will it have no impact on my reputation. Ruan Yunhan, you can’t just put such a smear on other people just because your mother is a slut who’s always clinging to other women’s husbands.”
Ruan Yunhan's face immediately turned ugly.
Given the environment Ruan Chen grew up in, what couldn't she say?
She grew up listening to Cong Rao's 108 different ways of cursing.
She knew very well that if she withdrew the case, some people would think it would be tantamount to admitting that the rumors were true because she had a guilty conscience.
Otherwise, why not fight to the very end?
Ruan Zhengde said in a disappointed tone, "Ruan Chen, your father has really spoiled you too much."
“Yes,” Ruan Chen’s tone was as cold as a knife, and the smile on his lips was sharp and icy. “You let your own daughter grow up in the slums until she was thirteen. If it weren’t for the people from the shelter coming to your door, you were going to continue to let her rot and decay there. You took away all of her mother’s property and made that poor mother sell her smiles to support your child—what a good father you are.”
When she said the last sentence, Ruan Chen's tone carried an barely suppressed hint of hostility.
The other two people Ruan Zhengde brought—Ruan Chen's eldest and second uncles—said in a coaxing tone, "Chenchen, don't you want to take over the Ruan family's company? After all, you are surnamed Ruan. As long as you think about our Ruan family, you will definitely have a place in the group in the future."
Ruan Chen remained silent for a few seconds, then mentally retrieved the information on the two individuals.
She suddenly laughed mischievously, "Uncle, Second Uncle, look, none of Chairman Ruan's five children are doing well, but your children are doing very well and your families are harmonious. Do you have any plans to take over the Ruan Group? Why don't we sit down and plan it out, and split it 30/70 after it's done? For example, I have an idea right now. I'm not even sixteen yet, so I can help you get rid of your biggest threat. What do you think?"
Ruan Zhengde's lips trembled.
Ruan Chen continued his outrageous remarks, "Instead of rigging off the children, rigging off yourself! Today is Chairman Ruan's funeral, tomorrow you'll be in power. Whether you're willing or not, just say the word and make a decision now. Take advantage of the fact that none of Chairman Ruan's children are capable, strike first, otherwise who knows if others in the group have the same idea?"
She had the foreign language book under her elbow, gently stroking the pendant on her collar, her eyes slightly upturned, speaking softly and slowly, her tone both cool and serious, making it impossible to tell whether she was joking or not.
