She knew that finding Su Jin as a backer was already a stroke of luck for her.
She really shouldn't expect sincerity and love.
However, perhaps because progesterone was dominating and controlling her emotions, Ruan Yunhan blurted out all the questions she would never normally ask.
After finishing her breakfast, Ruan Chen picked up her schoolbag and left without saying a word.
In the dead silence, she calmly spoke up, without any awareness of ruining the atmosphere, "I'll be home at six o'clock tonight. I hope you two will have found a place to stay by then."
Ruan Chen arrived at the classroom, and as expected, Yu Xiaoya was not there today.
The heads of the Ruan and Song Groups were both taken away by the police in the middle of the night, and various other families began to stir, ready to tear some flesh from these two behemoths.
As the sole heir of the Yu family, Yu Xiaoya must be participating in high-level meetings and decision-making at this time.
Bo Nian is still recovering and hasn't come yet.
As usual, Ruan Chen sat down in the corner of the first row.
Yesterday, Ruan Yunhan kept her awake so much that she finished her homework, which she usually did during morning reading, all at once, and then used the morning reading time to catch up on sleep.
The day's classes proceeded smoothly and uneventfully. Although Ruan Chen heard a lot of rumors in class, saying that the Ruan Group was going to collapse, and many curious glances were directed at her, Ruan Chen did not respond at all.
Ruan Chen also heard a few unpleasant words.
For example, "What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? You'll soon fall from grace and be worse off than a chicken." "She's just acting all high and mighty in class because her family is rich, and she doesn't talk to anyone all day." "Before, she always looked down on the Bo family, the class monitor's family, and would give the class monitor the cold shoulder. Now, I'm afraid Bo Jian doesn't like her anymore."
Ruan Chen simply looked down at the thick novel in her hand, but subconsciously thought of what Bo Nian had said before, that she seemed to be bad at interacting with classmates and had a bad reputation.
If this had happened three years ago, when Ruan Chen had just returned to Jingzhou, he would have retaliated against these people without giving an inch, and probably would have even taken action, causing quite a scene.
At that time, she was full of fierceness and sharpness, like a wary yet reckless hedgehog, trying to forge a path in an unfamiliar world.
When the school bell rang, Ruan Chen slowly packed her schoolbag, stuffed the thick novel into the back of her drawer, and walked out of the classroom.
The Ye family is coming to pick her up tonight.
It must be something to do with the Ruan family.
Ruan Zhengde's crimes are clear and the evidence is conclusive. If the Ye family doesn't seize this opportunity, Ruan Chen will start to doubt the intelligence of Old Master Tian.
Ruan Chen wasn't in a hurry to take action against the Ruan family. She patiently lay low, waiting for an opportunity to completely destroy Ruan Zhengde.
However, Yu Wanqing took the initiative to offer herself up. The moment Yu Wanqing mentioned Ruan Zhengde and the Song family, Ruan Chen realized that this was a perfect opportunity.
She immediately contacted Su Jin, and the two of them, working together, subdued Song Xingwang on the spot.
The live broadcast was also intended to nail Nguyen Chinh Duc to the pillar of shame—the Nguyen Group would not allow someone who had both broken the law and violated public order and good morals to sit in the position of chairman of the Nguyen Group.
The car took Ruan Chen to the Ye Group. Ruan Chen hadn't been to the Ye Group for two years.
"Young Miss."
"Good evening, Miss."
People kept greeting Ruan Chen on the way to the conference room.
Ruan Chen was addressed differently in the Ye family and in the Ruan family.
The Ruan family always called her "Second Miss Ruan," but the Ye family always called her "Eldest Miss."
The conference room was packed with two rows of people, but Ruan Chen glanced around and realized they weren't acquaintances.
Ye Zishi, the eldest uncle who is a bigwig in the legal world; Ye Zian, the second uncle who controls nearly 70% of the bars and underground boxing rings in Jingzhou; Ye Zitao, the youngest uncle who is obsessed with art; and Ye Huanhuan, who is a workaholic and serves as the general manager of the marketing department of the Ye Group.
When the group saw Ruan Chen enter, they nodded slightly to her, but the atmosphere was solemn and no one spoke.
Ruan Luo wasn't there; Ruan Yu'er sat at the far end next to Old Master Ye Tian. Behind her were several people older than her, all from the younger generation of the Ye family. However, Ruan Yu'er was clearly the youngest.
Her cheeks still had baby fat, but she had almost lost her childishness. When she saw Ruan Chen, her eyes showed barely suppressed excitement, but she still sat properly.
Just as Ruan Chen was about to find an empty seat, Old Master Ye Tian spoke up, "Ruan Chen, come and sit down."
Beside Grandpa Ye Tian, opposite Ruan Yu'er, there was an empty chair.
Ye Tian called out Ruan Chen's name and beckoned her over, and the previously silent conference room was filled with low whispers.
Everyone knows what the position next to Old Master Ye means; it's the position of the future key successor being groomed.
Originally, many people were resentful and indignant because Ruan Yu'er was sitting there, but they mostly tolerated it because of Ye Huanhuan—after all, Ye Huanhuan was indeed capable and worked very hard.
But what gives Ruan Chen the right to do so?
Although Ye Huanhuan publicly acknowledged that Ruan Chen was her eldest daughter, and Ye Tian also recognized this granddaughter, everyone knew the truth about Ruan Chen's background—she was just an illegitimate daughter of Ruan Zhengde who couldn't be brought to the table.
With the Ruan family in downfall, the Ye family should quickly sever ties with this burden.
But why did Grandpa Ye bring this person of unknown origin to his side?
Ye Tian knew what the whispers below were about, but he didn't speak up for Ruan Chen. He figured Ruan Chen didn't need him to speak for her.
Ruan Chen calmly walked over and sat down next to Grandpa Ye. After obtaining Grandpa Ye's permission, she took out her computer and books from her bag, and then the sound of typing began to fill the air.
She was clearly busy with her own things.
First came the performance reviews from each department, followed by personnel changes. Old Master Ye then gave Ye Zitao a few gentle but firm words of advice, telling him to settle down and stop messing around. After that, the meeting got down to business.
"I'm sure everyone has heard about the Ruan Group, so I don't need to go into details."
“All of you are veterans who have worked in my Ye Group for more than ten years—if I remember correctly, the youngest of you has been with the group for at least thirteen years. You must be well aware of the relationship between the Ye family and the Ruan family.”
"First of all, everyone should agree that the Ruan Group will not collapse completely. As relatives of the Ruan family by marriage, our Ye family has an obligation to support someone in Ruan Yi who can take on the responsibility of leading the Ruan Group."
“You all know more or less about the Nguyen Group, so tell me about it.”
After Ye Tian finished speaking, the people below began to argue.
"I suggest that Ruan Yunhan be promoted to the position."
