During her sophomore year, Chen Hong started dating Yu Liang, who was two years older than her, so when Chen Hong was a sophomore, he was a senior. After graduation, due to the distance and lack of communication, they gradually drifted apart.
It wasnât until after Chen Hong graduated and entered the Ruan Family that she ran into Yu Liang again by chance a few years later.
Chen Hong has handled the Ruan Familyâs accounts and knows how wealthy the Ruan Family is now, itâs inevitable that some thoughts would arise. As for Ruan Jianmin, she truly admired him at one point.
Ruan Jianmin is tall, handsome, and could even be called dashing. After graduation, she started working for the Ruan Family. Seeing that she was a college graduate and still young, Ruan Jianmin often took extra care of her, and Chen Hong gradually found herself captivated by him. Moreover, at the time, Ruan Jianmin and Wu Le were living apart, and having met Wu Le, she considered herself younger and more attractive than the middle-aged woman from the countryside and thought of replacing her.
However, Ruan Jianmin is a conflicted person. From their daily interactions, she could feel that he had feelings for her too, or at least appreciated her.
Yet, when she offered herself on a platter, he remained evasive, hesitant, playing hard to get. As she gradually lost patience, she eventually climbed into his bed while he was intoxicated.
She thought she could cook the rice while it was hot, but little did she know that a drunk man isnât truly conscious; naturally, nothing happened that night.
She thought that even if nothing happened, since it concerned a womanâs chastity, he would at least cherish her a bit. But who would have known that sheâd be directly fired by the Ruan Family!
Getting nothing out of it, and ended up being fired, she felt unwilling but had no choice but to leave the Ruan Family first. It was afterward that she met Yu Liang again, and they fell in love once more, got a marriage certificate within a month, and found out she was pregnant two months later.
Yu Liang is also in business now, but lacks funds. Knowing the Ruan Familyâs situation, they hit it off, and together staged this drama.
In their view, no matter whether she could finally gain Ruan Jianminâs trust, they wouldnât lose out. Even if Ruan Jianmin didnât divorce Wu Le and stayed with her, with the child in her belly, the Ruan Family wouldnât ignore it.
After all, in this era, everyone values their offspring.
Unexpectedly, she encountered such a bizarre family like the Ruan Family, who not only didnât value the child but directly kicked Ruan Jianmin out of the family!
Initially, they thought the Ruan Family might be intentionally putting on an act, but later realized it wasnât the case at all. That old lady of the Ruan Family was that ruthless, transferring the house under the Ruan Familyâs fourth branch to Ruan Feng and Ruan Qunâs name, leaving Ruan Jianmin penniless and kicked out!
Not only did they get nothing, but they also had to inexplicably support a grown man. Chen Hong felt like coughing up blood, yet they still wanted to leverage the child, believing that even if the Ruan Family didnât care about the child, theyâd have to give some sort of support for the child once it was born. Hence, they didnât make it public and continued to secretly interact with Yu Liang.
After listening to the Ruanlin Familyâs explanation, Jiaojiao curiously asked, "So youâll just let them continue like this until the child is born for a paternity test?"
Ruanlin Family hadnât answered yet when Elder Shu next to her sipped his tea, looking content as he fiddled with the cup: "That would certainly be too easy on them."
Jiaojiao also nodded in agreement. Yeah, is the plan just to wait until the truth comes out? That seems way too easy on them, doesnât it?
