Ruan Qishan’s eyes were full of embarrassment and guilt, and eventually he lowered his guard as he said to Ling Tianya, “Tianya, Dad said something that hurt your feelings today. Please don’t take it into your heart. I was very anxious and felt pressured under the circumstances.”
Ling Tianya looked up, blushing, and saw the guilt in Ruan Qishan’s eyes. Ling Tianya could understand Ruan Qishan’s longing for grandchildren. She also knew that Ruan Qishan didn’t intend to kick her out. All he wanted was to find another woman for Ruan Zeyan.
Although Ling Tianya didn’t like that idea, she admitted that Ruan Qishan did consider her in his heart. Moreover, this man was the father of Ruan Zeyan. She did not want to drive a wedge between the father and son because of her.
Ling Tianya smiled and said to Ruan Qishan in a sweet voice, “Dad, I understand. Don’t worry, I don’t blame you.”
When he heard Ling Tianya say this, Ruan Qishan felt slightly better. Back in the day when he was the decision-maker for the family, how wise he was. But time was really unforgiving, he was now being led astray by others.
Since Ling Tianya’s pregnancy was made public, at the moment, she was the most protected figure in the family. Ruan Qishan immediately asked Mr. Zhong to hire several experienced pregnancy caretakers and nutritionists. From this moment on, they would be responsible for Ling Tianya’s food, drink, and daily routines.
“Chairman, you don’t have to worry about those,” Du Gang said respectfully. “The boss has ready taken care of these things.”
Ruan Qishan was shocked and looked at Ruan Zeyan. Then he said to Mr. Zhong, “Hire them anyway. We can afford a few extra people. Tianya and the child are the most important priority now.” Ruan Qishan paused, as if he had just realized something, before he continued, “Before you hire anyone, be sure to meticulously investigate them. It is best to check back up to three generations. Avoid people with questionable motivations. Do you hear me?”
Mr. Zhong nodded and went to carry out the task right away.
Ruan Qishan’s expectant yet cautious look made Wang Yazhi chuckle. “When I was pregnant with my child, why didn’t I see you so cautious?”
Ruan Qishan was taken by surprised. Then he said, “It’s not the same situation! You were pregnant with our son, and Tianya is pregnant with our grandson!”
Ruan Zeyan raised an eyebrow. Did it mean that the son was less important than the grandson?
In fact, this was not difficult to verify. One could easily tell from Madame Ruan’s attitude towards Ruan Zeyan and Ruan Qishan that the status of the grandson was already higher than the son in the Ruan Family.
…
When Ruan Guofu came out of the torture chamber, he had only half a life left. His legs were broken, and he was still unconscious.
Third Mrs. Ruan’s jaw had been put back together. Other than the lack of front teeth that affected her speech, she was fine otherwise.
She leaned on Ruan Guofu’s body and looked at her husband, who was filled with tubes, and cried desperately, “Second brother, just now in the torture chamber, Guofu did not give you up. He took the responsibility for everything. Ruan Zeyan was really cold-hearted. He didn’t have any mercy whatsoever and asked the people who executed the punishments to beat Guofu within inches of his life!” Third Mrs. Ruan cried so much that she was out of breath. “Second brother, you have to avenge Guofu. He did that for you because he listened to you. Now he’s become like this, and Lijia was also kicked out of the Ruan Family. Even their names have been removed from the family genealogy. The price our family paid is too great!”
Ruan Guosheng’s expression was like a pool of stagnant water, but his eyes had something swirling in them. Looking at Ruan Guofu, who was lying unconsciously in bed, he knew in his heart that this younger brother of his was done.
