Ruan Jianmin put on a smile and called out "Mom," but the Ruanlin Family did not respond; instead, she snorted coldly and averted her gaze, leaving Ruan Jianmin to helplessly look toward Ruan Jianguo for help.
Ruan Jianguo was equally helpless; Ruan Jianmin certainly mishandled things yesterday, but with their brotherly bond, he couldn’t just ignore him. He could only say, "Co in first."
Only then did Ruan Jianmin enter.
Ruan Hao called out "Fourth Uncle," and Ruan Jianmin raised his head to look at him, smiled, wanting to say sothing, but recalling the awkward scene yesterday, he swallowed his words.
He sat down on the sofa sowhat awkwardly.
Ruan Jianguo got up to pour him a cup of tea, then said, "Explain, what exactly happened yesterday?"
Perhaps due to being a businessman for so long, Ruan Jianguo felt that yesterday’s incident wasn’t so simple. Besides, among the four of them, Ruan Jianmin was the one who studied the most and was also the smartest. He didn’t believe Jianmin would do such a thing and felt there was more to the story.
However, in front of Chen Hong yesterday, it wasn’t appropriate to speak openly. They could only handle it that way for the ti being; having Ruan Jianmin co today was by his instruction.
Ruan Jianmin held the teacup and took a sip. He was scantily dressed, and drinking the tea ward him up a bit. When he lifted his head, he t the sparkling eyes of Elder Shu, a hint of embarrassnt crossed his face. But since Elder Shu saw everything yesterday, there was no use avoiding anything today. Thus, he began to explain the events of the past three months.
Ruan Jianmin and Wu Le were introduced by the family back then, but naturally, after many years, feelings developed.
In recent years, the Ruan Family has been developing increasingly well. Ruan Jianmin used to be an accountant but later beca the chief accountant of the Ruan Family restaurant, doing better than his two other brothers.
Of course, he was once distracted by the glamor of the world, but at heart, he remained the man who walked out of Xiahe Village. He never thought of betraying his family or Wu Le. He knew of Chen Hong’s admiration for him but never responded to it, enjoying only that little bit of male vanity, nothing more.
About that incident of sleeping in the sa room with Chen Hong, his mory of it was hazy, but he believed nothing happened. After all, he wasn’t inexperienced; he had been married for nearly twenty years and had an eighteen-year-old son. He would know if he had done sothing, besides Chen Hong herself said that nothing happened that night, and he believed her.
Later, when the Ruanlin Family told him to cast Chen Hong out, he felt a bit guilty because he felt there wasn’t anything between him and Chen Hong. She only admired him, and to be driven away just for that seed unjust.
However, the n of the Ruan Family were very filial. The Ruanlin Family got so angry she ended up in the hospital. When she demanded Chen Hong’s departure, he had no choice but to comply.
But feeling guilty himself, he thought he owed Chen Hong, so he took two extra severance paynts from his salary to give her.
Later, when the incident with Jiaojiao happened, he thought it was all over, only to find out yesterday that Chen Hong suddenly showed up, claiming she had his child, deceiving him three months ago.
He was dumbfounded at the ti, Wu Le dropped everything and stord over to start a fight. In such a situation, Chen Hong being pregnant, though doubting the child, Ruan Jianmin couldn’t let her get hurt and had to protect her.
Who knew what happened afterward.
