At that time, he was staying at the First Hotel in Great Apple City. He happened to witness the young master of the Katie family drugging Clarice, intending to force a marriage between the two families.
Of course, Kloss couldn’t just sit there and accept her fate. Realizing she had been drugged, she fled and bumped into him just as he was leaving his room.
He could tell something was wrong with Kloss and wanted to call the police. In the end… she dragged him back to his room.
Despite being more than 1.8 meters tall, he was actually a weak scholar. How could he stand a chance against Kloss, who had practiced martial arts since she was young?
In reality, he wasn’t entirely at a disadvantage. They were both adults who had met by chance, and it seemed reasonable to part ways amicably.
However, he hadn’t expected Kloss to forcibly take him back to the Bass family and insist on marriage. She essentially made him marry into her family, which conveniently addressed his siblings’ constant urging for him to settle down.
Initially, he had tried to escape, but each attempt ended with him being recaptured.
After that, when Kloss got pregnant, he felt he had to take responsibility. As he accepted the reality, he gradually developed feelings for her.
However, he was not well-liked in the Bess family.
Although the Ruan family was also wealthy, they were not on the same level as the Bess family. He had been forced to get involved in the family’s conflicts in Continent M. To avoid worrying Old Master Ruan, he had kept it a secret from his family.
“Dad, these things are in the past. Kloss and I are in love now,” Ruan Zhiying said, fearing his father might blame Kloss.
After Old Master Ruan satisfied his curiosity, he looked at him with disdain and waved his hand. “Alright, scram.”
It was embarrassing for a man to be so weak.
After Old Master Ruan’s birthday party, Ruan Zhihao resumed his nightlife at the clubs.
Privately, Old Master Ruan’s will began to circulate among the wealthy families in Jin City.
Many in the entertainment industry had expected Old Master Ruan to choose Ruan Zhihao or his grandson, Ruan Bin, as the successor after Ruan Zhiying’s family returned to the country. They did not anticipate that Ruan Chu, who was determined to enter the entertainment industry, would be named the heir.
Even more surprising was that Gu Yang, who wasn’t related to the Ruan family by blood, received shares of the Ruan family business.
Ruan Chu’s popularity surged with her success in “Poems and Wine While You Are Young,” making her a hot topic for the paparazzi.
Consequently, headlines like #Ruan Chu, heir of the Ruan Corporation quickly trended.
Her fans were naturally thrilled for Ruan Chu and teased her—
[Chuchu, hurry up and go to work. If you don’t work hard, you can only go home and inherit the family assets.]
Meanwhile, her anti-fans were filled with jealousy and criticism—
[Let Ruan Chu inherit the Ruan Corporation? She”ll run it into the ground.]
[Does Ruan Chu know how awkward her acting is? Is she preparing to leave the industry? If she’s not from a professional background, she shouldn’t market her acting skills all the time]
[No wonder the drama she’s starring in isn’t very good, but it’s trending every other day. It’s good to have connections.]
However, despite the criticism, it couldn’t change the fact that Poems and Wine While You Were Young was becoming increasingly popular.
This drama stood out from the typical painful school romances. It focused on a group of teenagers from different families who, despite experiencing various traumas, found redemption through each other and pursued their dreams.
The show depicted regret and pain, but it also highlighted youthful passion and vigor.
Ruan Chu and Fu Sheng played the lead roles, portraying characters who redeemed each other and grew together. Their inexperienced and beautiful love story attracted many fans.
After that, Ruan Chu and Fu Sheng officially became a couple.
Besides Ruan Chu and Fu Sheng, Wei Yueqiao, who played the third female lead, also gained popularity thanks to her portrayal of a first love.
This was a pleasant surprise for Wei Yueqiao, considering it was her first major role and she didn’t have many scenes.
Her manager, Ye Qingyin, seized the opportunity to promote her as the national “white moonlight.” She was also secretly glad she had taken Gu Yang’s suggestion and signed Wei Yueqiao with Zhaofeng Entertainment in advance.
Since Wei Yueqiao was recommended by Gu Yang, Ye Qingyin decided to personally oversee her career.
