At the Ruan residenceâ¦
When Ruan Hao came home, Ruan Xue immediately went over to take his coat and squatted down to give him his slippers.
Ruan Hao put on his slippers impatiently and kicked the woman. He was very hot-tempered and started scolding her the moment he sat down.
âRuan Xue, youâve done really well by giving birth to a good daughter who ruined my business. Do you know how embarrassed I felt in front of CEO Ma today?â
Ruan Xue also felt hatred in her heart.
She hated Ruan Qi for defying her and Song Zhou for being unreasonable.
If they hadnât messed around, Ruan Qi and Ma Baomu would have gotten together and facilitated her husbandâs business partnership. When they sealed the deal, she would be able stand tall in front of her man.
âHubby, have some tea and cool down.â
âHow can I cool down? I wanted to grow my business but because of your insensible daughter⦠Do you know how much damage this has done to the company?â
Ruan Hao was even more annoyed when he saw Ruan Xue hang her head in fear and silence.
âYou wonât understand it even if I tell you. I let you stay home with the kids and see how youâve raised your daughter? How can a university student be so dumb?â
âTo think that her life will be better after she found love. Sheâs just daydreaming!â
âAs expected, someone birthed by a stupid woman canât be any good! I was really blind back then to marry you.â
Ruan Xue felt terrible and extremely aggrieved at his scolding.
âIâve spent most of my time taking care of our son instead of watching over
Ruan Qiâs every move. How can you blame me?â
Ruan Qi laughed coldly. âIf I donât blame you, should I blame myself? She married a poor man behind her parentsâ backs instead of getting together with CEO Maâs son. Such foolishness!â
Ruan Xue did not dare to speak after the tongue-lashing. She just lowered her head and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
When her son came home from school, she rushed over to hug him.
Only by hugging her youngest son could she feel a little comfort.
But her youngest son didnât appreciate the gesture. He pushed her away in disdain and played games on his tablet.
Ruan Xue felt even more upset when she saw that her son only had eyes for his games instead of his mother.
When it was time for dinner, her son still refused to put down his tablet after being asked multiple times. Ruan Hao became impatient and yelled, âYou brat. Eat when itâs time to eat. Stop playing your games. If you donât study well, what can you do with all the games you played?â
Ruan Yi was not afraid of his father at all. He retorted, âWhatâs the point of studying when Iâll inherit everything from you one day? Education is for the poor.â
Ruan Hao was furious when he heard that. He pointed at his son and roared, âYou brat, Iâm not dead yet and you are already thinking about your inheritance? Come over here and see if Iâll beat you to death!â
Ruan Yi got scared when he saw his father get the feather duster. He hid behind Ruan Xue, but still refused to put down his tablet.
âHubby, the boy is still young. Donât lower yourself to his level. Iâll scold him.â
âHeâs almost sixteen. Is that still young?â
âRuan Xue, you are an idiot. Ruan Yi has been taught useless by you. He only knows how to play games all day. He doesnât study hard in school and only knows how to get into trouble.â
âDidnât he bully a female classmate two days ago? If I didnât pay to settle the matter, he would be in so much trouble.â
Ruan Yi shouted back at his father fearlessly, âWell, Iâm your only son. You wonât leave me in trouble. If anything happens to me, you, Ruan Hao, will have no descendants!â
Ruan Hao was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He had worked hard for so many years just so Ruan Xue could stay home to take care of their children but Ruan Yi turned out to be a useless, spoiled brat.
Ruan Xue saw that her husband was furious and quickly pulled her son back.
âXiaoyi, how can you say such things to your father? Quickly apologize to your father.â
âWhy should I apologize? Iâm just speaking the truth. The bigger Ruan Haoâs business gets, the bigger the family fortune Iâll inherit. That makes up for all the time you didnât spend with me when I was young.â
âI will never have to worry about food or clothing. I can play games all day even if I donât work in future and women will cozy up to me. Why are you lecturing me?â
âIâm telling you, if you hit me, Iâll sue you for child abuse.â
Ruan Haoâs heart was burning with anger. If he didnât teach this brat a lesson today, he wouldnât be able to sleep.
He rushed forward with the feather duster, grabbed Ruan Yi and hit him hard.
Ruan Yi did not expect his father to really cane him. He screamed as his father struck him with the feather duster and cried out for his mother to save him.
Ruan Xueâs heart ached when she saw her son getting caned. She went over to stop her husband but was pushed away by Ruan Hao.
âRuan Xue, if you stop me today, Iâll divorce you and find another woman to educate my son!â
Ruan Xue was so frightened that she stood rooted to the spot. She watched helplessly as her son curled up on the floor and begged for mercy.
âDo you know your mistake now? Brat, letâs see if youâll misbehave again!â
âYou donât want to study yet you want your inheritance? Let me tell you. If I beat you to death now, thereâll be plenty of women out there whoâll bear me children. I can have as many sons as I want, but I donât want you, you b*stard!â
Ruan Hao didnât show any mercy. Ruan Yi was really in pain. He cried and admitted his mistake.
But he also glared at his mother, Ruan Xue.
Why didnât she stop her husband?
Everything he said was taught by her. She always told him that she would protect him for the rest of his life.
But just so Ruan Hao didnât divorce her, she would watch her son get beaten up.
Liar!
A seed of hatred was planted in Ruan Yiâs heart.
She betrayed him today and he would make her pay!
Ruan Hao finally stopped when he heard his sonâs admission of guilt. He asked, âWill you study hard from now on?â
âI will. Stop hitting me, Dad. It hurts.â
Ruan Haoâs heart ached too when he saw his sonâs pained expression.
For so many years, he only had one son, Ruan Yi, and he really doted on him.
When he got into trouble, he would try his best to help him settle things and not let him suffer any grievances.
âIf you know itâs painful, youâll behave yourself. Donât be like your mother and sister. Idiots who didnât know better and failed to perform such a simple task.â
Ruan Yi knew that they wanted Ruan Qi to marry Ma Baomu to facilitate the business partnership between the Ma and Ruan families.
Judging from his fatherâs tone, Ruan Qi probably refused to play along.
He wasnât close with Ruan Qi. She was a burden, a burden who lived under the Ruan roof but didnât do anything for the Ruan Family. She was indeed an idiot!
âDad, I know. I wonât.â
At this moment, Ruan Haoâs phone rang.
After he picked up the call, his face contorted like he was about to eat someone up.
Ruan Hao was so angry that he smashed his phone after he hung up. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ruan Xue and Ruan Yi both trembled in fear and kept quiet, afraid that Ruan Hao would hit them.
âRuan Xue, you jinx, I want to strangle you to death!â
Ruan Xue shrank back in fear. âHubby, what, what happened?â
âYou still have the cheek to ask me what happened? If it isnât for your daughterâs doing!â
âThe Ma family is upset with me now and the bank wonât lend me any money. If I donât get a bank loan, the company may run out of cash. When the company goes bankrupt, you and I will really feel the squeeze!â
The more Ruan Hao thought about it, the angrier he became. He hated himself for not having a biological daughter. His own daughter would definitely listen to him and help the company by agreeing to a business marriage.
What did Ruan Xue know about these things? She was just an uncouth woman who wanted to live a good life with her pretty face.
âThen, what will you do now?â
âWhat will I do? Of course, itâs to force your daughter to apologize to the Ma family and hope for their forgiveness. Otherwise, Ruan Xue, I will divorce you and kick you out without a dime so you can go back to the countryside and live with your dirt poor ex-husband!â
Ruan Xueâs face turned pale.
When Ruan Yi heard that his fatherâs company may go bankrupt, he stood up in shock. âDad, if our family goes bankrupt, wonât we lose everything?â
Ruan Hao snorted. âNot only will we lose everything, but we might also be burdened with huge debts. Donât think that itâs easy for your father to start a business. It takes a lot of money to run the business!â
Ruan Yi panicked.
If his family ran out of money, he wouldnât have the money to top up his games in the future. Heâd be laughed at by his brothers for not having good avatar skins and equipment!
No, they absolutely could not go bankrupt!
He glared at his mother, Ruan Xue, and shouted angrily, âHurry up and tell your daughter to apologize to the Ma family, Mom!â
Ruan Xue also quickly made a call. If their family went bankrupt, her future would be bleak.
The call went through, and she immediately roared, âRuan Qi, do you know how badly youâve screwed up? Because you married a piece of trash, our family is going to go bankrupt!â
âIf you know whatâs good for you, hurry up and apologize to Ma Baomu. Otherwise, Iâll sever our mother and daughter relationship!â
âSever our mother and daughter relationship? Excellent!â
