Madame Ruan grabbed Ruan Zeyan’s arm in excitement, her aged, slightly cloudy eyes glistening.
“I saw Ling girl sleep so deeply today, and then throw up after drinking some soup. Only your dumb mother wouldn’t notice these things and was easily convinced by a random excuse Ling girl made up!” Madame Ruan let go of Ruan Zeyan and started roaming around the room. “If a person is hungry for too long, he should eat liquid foods and let the stomach adapt slowly. So, even if Ling girl was hungry for too long, how can she throw up after some soup? And there was the doctor. I asked him a question, and he didn’t even dare to look me in the eyes. The only explanation was that he had something to hide!”
Ruan Zeyan watched his grandmother rambling with a smile in his eyes.
“Hey, don’t you smile at me. I’m dying here. Tell your grandmother, is Ling girl’s child still there?” Madame Ruan grabbed Ruan Zeyan’s arm again and asked eagerly.
“Yes.” Since Madame Ruan was aware, Ruan Zeyan did not want to lie to her.
“Really!” Madame Ruan covered her mouth excitedly. She controlled the volume of her voice but could no longer hold back the tears, which rushed out like a river.
“My Ling girl! What a naughty girl! She scared her grandmother to death!” Madame Ruan was so excited that her body was trembling. Worried that she would fall, Ruan Zeyan quickly reached for her and brought her to the sofa.
Madame Ruan laughed and cried, pounding her grandson on the shoulder. “You are to blame too. Why did you lie to us elders about such a big thing? Did you see your mother, how badly she was crying? Your father, too, was starting to prepare...”
The words came to the tip of her tongue, but Madame Ruan swallowed them back. She didn’t say that Ruan Qishan was preparing to find a woman to have Ruan Zeyan’s babies. But it was obvious that Ruan Zeyan already knew what the old lady was going to say.
Seeing the disappointed expression of Ruan Zeyan, Madame Ruan sighed. “Don’t blame your dad. You know exactly what our family is like. The way you grew up and things you experienced. Maybe not every day was about life and death, but it was walking on the tip of the knife all the time. If we lost the management right now to the corporation, lost the status as the decision-makers, then all those hungry wolves would swallow us alive!”
Madame Ruan patted Ruan Zeyan’s hand. “In the Ruan Family, heirs are above anything else. Back then, at the very least, your mom managed to keep you and give birth to you. And you did a great job too all these years, using your strong-handed style and making sure all the restless ones were obedient. However, if Ling girl was really incapable of having babies, wouldn’t our branch of the family end with you? How can we let this happen?”
Of course, Ruan Zeyan knew very well the reasoning behind all this. That’s why the Ruan Family was particularly serious in the selection of its successor and his wife. This was also the reason why when Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya fell in love, he hid her from the family, even breaking up with the family for her.
“Forget about all of that. Tell me, what is Ling girl’s sneaky plan? The child is fine, but why did she ask the doctor to tell everyone that she was infertile and scare us to death!”
Ruan Zeyan told the whole story to Madame Ruan. Afterwards, the old lady couldn’t stop laughing, hitting her own thighs.
“My Ling girl is unbelievable! I knew when I first saw her! Good girl! What a good girl!” Madame Ruan wiped her eyes and said, “Don’t worry, now grandmother knows what’s going on, I know what to do. I’ll cooperate well with Ling girl!”
