Ruan Jiaojiao nestled in Xiu Xiâs arms, listening to Ruan Jianminâs narration, and suddenly, a word popped into her mind: "scam."
Letâs not dwell on whether Uncleâs handling of Chen Hong was appropriate, but there were truly too many loopholes in his account just now.
Too many coincidences, coincidences that seemed conveniently arranged, as if Chen Hong had custom-made a trap for Uncle from the start, just waiting for him to step into it.
"Are you sure that apart from you, there was no one else with Chen Hong?" Ruan Jianguo asked bluntly.
Ruan Jianmin shook his head, he was genuinely vague about the time he got drunk, almost having no impression at all, let alone knowing if Chen Hong was involved with anyone else.
The Ruanlin Family said nothing.
After a long pause, she said, "Donât get involved with the matters at the shop anymore, just go and live with Chen Hong, and donât take a single thing from home, leave just like that."
"Mom!" Ruan Jianmin was anxious.
"Shouting what, are you mourning, Iâm not dead yet!" The Ruanlin Family glared at him, then continued, "You caused all this yourself, who can you blame, now the other party insists the child in her stomach is yours, what can you do?!!"
Ruan Jianmin said nothing.
Expression ashen.
"And do you think thatâs your only mistake? I really think youâve got nerve, standing in front of your own wife to defend another woman, are you deliberately trying to drive people mad?"
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded.
Yes, thatâs the most wrong.
In families like theirs, if Shu Jiao really had a dispute with an outsider, he would definitely be the type to rush in with a broadsword, without caring whoâs right or wrong.
Thatâs the manâs biggest sense of responsibility.
"I know." Ruan Jianmin nodded, upon reflection he regretted, but regret was useless now, things had already reached this point.
"Remember what I said yesterday, youâre this age now, no money, no power, and not exactly handsome, do you really think someone has feelings for you? As a college student, what kind of family couldnât she find, to be stuck on this crooked tree of yours?"
"I didnât mention it last time to save you face, but who wouldâve thought youâd be so shameless, thinking a few bucks can charm young girls, you havenât even reflected!"
"Mom..." Seeing the Ruanlin Family saying things that were increasingly unpleasant in front of Shu Lao and Ruan Hao, Ruan Jianmin shamefully called out.
The Ruanlin Family stopped, not because she was mindful of Shu Lao and Ruan Hao, but because it wasnât good to continue discussing dirty matters in front of Ruan Jiaojiao, she had to return to the main topic: "Before resolving the matter of Chen Hong, stay out of the restaurant business, and not a penny from home is allowed to be moved, from today, be as destitute as you can!"
She wanted to see how good Chen Hongâs endurance was, if she really was interested in this old man with no money or influence!
Ruan Jianmin was clever, he understood well what the Ruanlin Family meant, even if he didnât want to, he had to admit this was the best way to handle things right now.
Ruan Jianguo also chimed in: "Wu Le has been with you for so many years, Jianmin, our family doesnât breed heartless people, understand?" As he spoke, he intentionally glanced at the shiny-eyed old man beside him.
Ruan Jianmin didnât know this was mainly said for the old man, he just helplessly nodded.
