Capítulo 1065: Chapter 631: Dating the Jerk? The Whole World Knows (Third Update)
Tang Wan’s attention was drawn to her son, so she naturally had no ti to notice Ruan ngxi’s affairs. Mainly, she was in her confinent period, unable to help much, and could only worry helplessly.
However, amidst the chaos outside and without Jiang Jinsang’s knowledge, Tang Wan decided on a nickna for her son.
When she took the child out, she saw Ruan Daqiang was on the phone, so she lowered her voice.
“The child is full now.” Ruan Mama took Jiang Xiaowai with a smile, holding and coaxing him in her arms.
“…Old Wang, if you’re asking to drink, I don’t have ti. I’m not in Pingjiang; I’m in Beijing visiting my daughter.” Ruan Daqiang, afraid the call would disturb the child, was planning to leave the room.
“I’m not calling you for a drink; it’s to congratulate you.”
“Congratulate on what?” Ruan Daqiang laughed.
“Stop pretending. It’s about Xixi. You went to Beijing not just to see your daughter, right? Did you et the in-laws?”
“What?” Ruan Daqiang’s steps halted.
“We’ve been friends for so many years, what’s with the act? You found such an outstanding son-in-law.”
“What on earth are you talking about! Our Xixi isn’t dating anyone; where’s the son-in-law coming from?”
“Why are you yelling at ? Check the news.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Wan felt a chill down her neck.
The thing she feared most finally happened.
Even if she intended to cover it up, the matter had blown up so much that so acquaintances of the Ruan family would eventually see the news.
Ruan Daqiang hung up the phone and searched for the news right away. Ruan Mama frowned and asked, “What happened? Why are you so loud? You almost scared the child.”
Ruan Daqiang, not bothered to explain, found the news, and was so infuriated that he almost had a heart attack.
What is this?
His daughter with Qi Zeyan? And Yun Hezhi? And Jiang Chengsi? All the news poured in, real and fake, leaving him utterly confused.
How did this turn into using connections to climb up, love triangles, and who got abandoned?
So much gossip, he didn’t even know where to start!
At this ti, Ruan Mama also ca over with Jiang Xiaowai, and upon seeing the news, the couple was stunned.
“Uncle, Auntie, there’s actually so misunderstanding in this whole situation…” Tang Wan wanted to explain, but didn’t know where to start.
“You knew all along?” Ruan Daqiang looked at her.
“A bit earlier than you did.”
“And what is the relationship between her and this Qi Zeyan, just like the news says?” Ruan Daqiang had just gone sightseeing and dining with him yesterday, thinking he was a good boss and leader.
This bastard…
Seeing Tang Wan’s awkward expression, he decided not to press her, “No need to say, I won’t make it hard for you.”
“Uncle…” Tang Wan felt helpless, wondering how things got so out of hand.
The whole neighborhood knew about this, and Ruan Daqiang was partly responsible. His daughter got a good job and was following so TV drama crew, and he felt proud, bragging to everyone.
So when the news broke, the neighbors didn’t need confirmation, they knew it was the Ruan family’s daughter.
If she could marry into the Qi family, of course, so people would want to curry favor. Ruan Daqiang’s phone was ringing off the hook.
Familiar people wouldn’t disturb him at this ti; it was all unfamiliar ones trying to get chummy, acting as if his daughter had already married into so wealthy family.
**
Ruan ngxi was still in the club at this ti
She was confronting the troublemaking custors, needing Jiang Chengsi’s approval to handle the discount card, and the staff were hesitant to move without it.
“Just sort out the card, I’ll take responsibility for whatever happens. I’ll explain to the boss.” Ruan ngxi looked at the group of kids not far away.
Thinking to herself, with just a bit of courage, they claim to want to call the police but chickened out, and still want to make trouble?
Her phone vibrated, it was Qi Zeyan’s. Just as she was about to answer, another call ca in—her dad’s.
She still didn’t know she’d been exposed and certainly couldn’t miss her father’s call, “Hello, Dad, have you started eating yet?”
“Eating? How can I eat right now?” Ruan Daqiang’s temper flared up. If Qi Zeyan were in front of him, he might actually tear the kid apart with his bare hands.
Lurking around his daughter, and yet daring to pretend to be a big shot in front of him.
Feigning ekness and gentleness in front of him!
He thought, as a boss or leader, how could one have so much free ti? If every employee’s family was cared for like that, wouldn’t he be overwheld?
“Dad? What’s wrong?” Ruan ngxi walked out of the lounge with the phone.
“I saw the news.”
“Is… is that so? You found out.” Ruan ngxi realized the situation couldn’t be hidden and braced herself.
“Not only , the whole world knows!”
“…”
“What’s your relationship with him? You ca ho heartbroken after a breakup, and suddenly you’re involved with your boss?”
“How can you call it a relationship? It’s not like what the news says.”
“Wait a minute…” Ruan Daqiang seed to realize sothing suddenly. He understood his daughter well; she wouldn’t change her mind so quickly, even if heartbroken. “Xixi, be honest with , he’s not that jerk, is he?”
“What jerk?”
“The little jerk who broke your heart before.”
“…”
Ruan ngxi remained silent.
Ruan Daqiang instantly got it, losing his composure. He was already quite chubby, and now with anger rising, he was truly red-faced and thick-necked, “Ruan ngxi, you silly girl, what are you thinking? How did you end up with this kind of little jerk again?”
“This kid is quite the actor. I went out of my way to flatter him, hoping he’d look after you at work. I didn’t an for him to take care of you in life too.”
“After that al, he even took a bunch of stuff before he left. Now that I think about it…”
Really makes one feel like they fed a dog.
“Dad, can you really believe the stuff online these days?”
“I don’t know if it’s true or not, but you’re with this little jerk, and now the whole world knows. My phone won’t stop ringing from neighbors, what do you want to do?”
“Calm down, you’re still at Wanwan’s ho, don’t let others see and laugh at you.”
“I know my limits; you don’t need to tell . Where are you now? You didn’t go out to see him, did you?”
“No, I really have so urgent work to take care of.”
“What about that Yun… Yun He, or whatever, what’s your relationship with him?”
“Even less of a connection. He’s Wanwan’s client, and we’re just friends.”
“So, does that an you’re really with that little jerk?”
“…”
Ruan ngxi was dumbfounded; what kind of logic was her dad using?
“After you’re done with work, co and explain everything to clearly. As for the little jerk, if you two aren’t involved, I don’t want to see him again.”
Ruan Daqiang hung up the phone angrily, turned around, and found a group of people watching him, including Grandma Jiang, Elder Tang, Tang Yunxian…
Feeling embarrassed, he cleared his throat, “Sorry, you must have laughed at that.”
The old lady really adored Qi Zeyan. Ruan ngxi was also Tang Wan’s best friend, and a good kid too. If they really liked each other, the old lady would actually want to help match them up and put in a good word.
But now the news was too chaotic, and seeing the attitude of Ruan ngxi’s parents, she really didn’t dare to ntion Qi Zeyan’s na.
She opened her mouth only to say it was ti to eat.
Ruan Daqiang was really upset inside. Just before he had praised the young man, and now he turned into a little jerk so quickly, he couldn’t quite adjust his mindset. While eating, he almost wished he could chew every grain of rice like it was Qi Zeyan and grind it to pieces.
“Where did Xiaowu go?” The old lady frowned and asked Tang Wan.
“Out for so errands.”
Even though Tang Wan was answering the old lady, her gaze lingered on the Ruan couple.
Especially Ruan Daqiang, who was just eating a al but seed as if he was out to destroy the world.
Ruan Daqiang wasn’t a narrow-minded father. Her relationship with Qi Zeyan was one thing, but now the internet was filled with abuse.
People said she used connections, that Qi Zeyan bought her a car and a house, that he was keeping her, and that she was a two-tir, anyway, all sorts of nasty rumors.
They were just an ordinary family, and now their daughter was being ridiculed and insulted online by strangers. How could he stay calm?
Those comnts seed to act as if they knew Ruan ngxi, even more than he knew his own daughter!
But since they were at the Jiang Family’s ho, he couldn’t show them or others unrelated faces, so he had to swallow it, making the atmosphere at the dining table exceptionally awkward.
Qi Zeyan originally wanted to have the news suppressed, but the more they pressed, the more everyone thought it was true, and the discussion grew even more intense.
It was peak lunchti, and the traffic was also heavy on the way to the club, making him even more irritated.
If this was another trick from the You Family, using public opinion against him, he must settle this surely.
**
Ruan ngxi aid to finish up at the club quickly, get back, and clarify things with her dad.
She thought that giving them discount cards as compensation would solve the issue, but as she politely offered the cards with both hands…
The girl leading, with dreadlocks, took the card, and then…
“Snap—” slapped it across her face.
The card slid past her chin, with a blunt pain.
“You really co to brush beggars off with this? I have money; I don’t need this pathetic discount card.” She sneered, “No wonder you’re so confident, even threatening to call the police, turns out you’ve climbed to a high branch and have soone to back you up.”
The surrounding staff thought the matter had ended, only for the sudden outburst to startle them too. When they ca to, Ruan ngxi’s chin had already been scratched with a red mark.
The atmosphere took a nosedive, and Ruan ngxi raised her hand to touch her chin, a dimness passing through her eyes…
It seed today wouldn’t end peacefully.
