“Zeyan, why are you back? I thought you were on a business trip?” asked Ruan Qishan.
Seeing that Ruan Zeyan was back, everybody in the room held their breaths, especially the three old men and the extended family members that came with them.
Originally, these people wanted to take advantage of the fact that Ruan Zeyan was gone so they could pressure Ling Tianya to give in. During this time, a lot of unpleasant words had been said.
But nobody expected that Ruan Zeyan would come back so soon.
Fourth grandfather sat back in his chair, looking defeated. He kept his mouth shut.
Fifth and seventh grandfathers had similar expressions on their faces as they sat there and pondered what would happen next.
Even Ruan Qishan seemed tense when he looked at Ruan Zeyan. After all, his plan was also to try to convince Ling Tianya and prepare her mentally when Ruan Zeyan was away.
“Is there a problem with the project in Country E? Why are you not over there, but back here instead?” Ruan Qishan frowned. “Who’s taking care of the project over there?”
Ruan Zeyan held his wife tight in his arms. “It is only a project and I don’t care if it fails. But if I didn’t stay, I wouldn’t know how you people would treat my woman.”
Fourth grandfather couldn’t hold back any longer. He coughed quietly. “Zeyan, your fourth grandfather did this for you. This woman can’t have babies and it’s not acceptable. Don’t you want an heir in the future?”
Fifth grandfather chimed in, “Yeah, we are all here for you. You marry a woman so she can give you children. A woman who can’t have babies, what’s the use of that?”
“Yes, we all felt bad for you! And it’s for your own good! We know that you and your wife love each other, but love is useless without a child to inherit your family business,” said seventh grandpa.
These three old men emphasized the fact that they did this for Ruan Zeyan’s sake without mentioning anything else. The bottom line was that Ling Tianya was infertile; they didn’t mention that they’d set her up.
A woman who couldn’t have children was considered useless in the Ruan Family. If Lijia was not a good candidate, there were plenty of women who could have children outside!
Ruan Qishan sighed too. “Your three grandfathers were not unreasonable, although I will admit that what happened today was wrong for the Ruan Family to do to Tianya.” Ruan Qishan glared at Ruan Fuguo who was still on his knees. Then he continued, “Either way Tianya can’t give birth anymore. How can you let the Ruan Family become heirless?”
Ruan Zeyan’s face looked rigid and cold. His thin lips carried ridicule and his face bore ruthlessness.
Then the woman in his arms sighed faintly. “Well, the elders wanted to help you. Maybe I should take the hint and just leave.”
Hearing Ling Tianya’s words, Ruan Zeyan’s cold eyebrows raised up. His cool fingers cupped the woman’s delicate chin as he kissed her fiercely on those seductive red lips.
Mandy and Ruan Lijia saw this and suddenly felt tormented. It was as if their hearts were being carved out from their chests.
The elders in the room also lowered their heads one by one, coughing uncomfortably.
Wang Yazhi watched her two children with tears in her eyes. How in love were they! Why did God let this happen, causing so much pain for Yaya?
Only Madame Ruan had a sly look in her eyes. When did my grandson become so good with women? That domineering little action reminded me of his grandfather.
Ruan Zeyan looked up, and a strong warning was written in his beautiful eyes. “Ling Tianya, where are you walking away with my son?”
Those words of Ruan Zeyan came out and the room exploded.
What did he just say?
Son?
