Early the next morning, Ruan Zhiyin received a call from Ji Yijun, saying that Lin Wei and Lin Jingfei had taken someone to the old house.
After Grandpa Ruan passed away, Ruan Zhiyin gave Butler Liu and Mother Chen a sum of money for retirement, and they returned to their hometown, leaving the old house empty.
After a few months, when she stepped into the old house again, she already felt a little strange.
That's right, Ruan Zhiyin only lived in the old house for less than three years.
When Cheng Yuelin and Ruan Zhiyin entered the living room, Ji Yijun and Lin Jingfei were sitting face to face, while her second uncle Lin Wei and a strange middle-aged man with a boy were sitting on the other side, looking towards Ruan Zhiyin and the two.
The person sitting next to Lin Wei was wearing a faded gray jacket, his face was wrinkled and stained with two vicissitudes of blush, when he saw Ruan Zhiyin, he smiled, and his voice sounded very enthusiastic: "Lai Lai, uncle can be regarded as I saw you."
After the other party finished speaking, he led the little boy beside him to step forward: "Huzi, this is your cousin and brother-in-law."
He wanted to hold Ruan Zhiyin's hand, but was stopped by Cheng Yuelin frowning.
Knowing the identity of the person in front of him, Cheng Yuelin looked at him silently, and looked at Lin Wei with indifferent eyes: "You said this is Yinyin's uncle, how do you prove it?"
"Her mother ran away with someone, and her father fell to his death while working on the construction site a few years ago. If Mr. Cheng has the heart, he can find her mother who ran away after giving birth." Lin Wei didn't change his face.
Before, Lin Wei also thought about releasing the news and using public opinion to force Ruan Zhiyin to make concessions, but unfortunately they were all deleted, so he had to give up.
Ruan Zhiyin glanced at the man named Yang Bin in front of her, shrank her fingertips, and did not speak.
Lin Wei's words just now caused some waves in her heart. But she didn't know whether the other party was really related to her by blood, she just felt extraordinarily unfamiliar.
Cheng Yuelin looked down at her, took advantage of the situation and shook her hand, took a seat opposite Lin Wei calmly, chuckled lightly, and said indifferently: "Suddenly the uncle who came out and said to be Yinyin, but there are no female elders yet. Wouldn't it be a coincidence that we couldn't do a kinship test?"
The little boy beside Yang Bin heard the words, glanced at Ruan Zhiyin, and whispered, "It's not because of her little slut that he killed his own father."
Before he finished speaking, there was a bang—
The transparent glass on the tea table wiped the corner of the boy's eyes and smashed against the wall behind him, making a loud noise and shattering to the ground in an instant.
The boy was so frightened that he looked at Cheng Yuelin's sullen eyes, his legs softened, he fell to the ground, and burst into tears.
His dad only said that if he recognized the cousin who killed the uncle, he would have money to buy a house, but he didn't say that the cousin-in-law would look so nasty.
Yang Bin was also taken aback, pointed at Cheng Yuelin, and said inconveniently: "You, you, what are you doing!"
If the cup just now hit his son's head, it would definitely make a hole.
"If the beast can't learn to speak human words, I can teach you well." Cheng Yuelin's eyes were wild, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Now, get out."
Yang Bin glanced at Lin Wei, and the other party was concerned about Cheng Yuelin's identity. He frowned and waved to the two of them with a cold face: "Okay, let's go first."
Yang Bin really wanted to find his niece who had been lost for many years, but he came here only because he saw a profit. Seeing Lin Wei's attitude now, he also understood that the other party was not easy to provoke, so he had to pull up the crying son on the ground and walked out.
"A-Lin, I'm fine." Ruan Zhiyin sighed, put on Cheng Yuelin's arm, paused, and said softly, "You're so fierce now, I'm a little scared."
He was always casual and casual, and she had never seen Cheng Yuelin so angry.
Being stared at silently by her, he gradually eased his expression.
Ruan Zhiyin then looked at Lin Wei: "Since you question my identity, I'm afraid it's not enough to find two people, there must be some other evidence."
Hearing this, Lin Wei smiled, as if he had already prepared, and took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to her: "This is the confession of the trafficker. At least it can prove that you are probably not the granddaughter of the old man."
Ruan Zhiyin stretched out her hand to take it, and when she saw the photo of the trafficker in the document, she frowned and her calm expression paused.
Just because the person in the photo has an inch-long scar on his left chin.
Others may not know, but in her day-to-day dreams, the face of the man who stuffed her into the trunk was blurred, and only the scar on his chin was faintly visible.
According to the confession, the child's clothes can't prove anything. The three girls who were kidnapped at the beginning may all be the misses of the Ruan family.
"It's hard for you to find these things after all your time." After closing the information, Ruan Zhiyin lowered her phoenix eyes and said with a small smile, "So, what do you want?"
Lin Wei didn't detour, and continued, "Ruan Zhiyin, if you are not the Ruan family at all, you must withdraw the case of eldest brother."
"Withdraw the lawsuit?" Ruan Zhiyin raised her eyebrows and looked at him calmly, "What else?"
"You only lived in the Ruan family for two or three years. The Ruan family raised you and sent you to study abroad. You are considered a chicken and a dog." Lin Wei said this, and glanced at Cheng Yuelin meaningfully, "As long as you have With a little gratitude, you should understand that you are not qualified to inherit the property of the old man. Even if it does not belong to the eldest brother, it should belong to Jingfei."
The implication is that Ruan Zhiyin married Cheng Yuelin by fate, which has already touched the Ruan family a lot. And she, who is not related by blood, should not embezzle Mr. Ruan's estate even if her will is in front of her. Lin Cheng's misappropriation of Ruan's property is also an internal matter of the Ruan family, and she is also not qualified to intervene.
After all, the Ruan family has done their best to her.
I have to say that Lin Wei...or Lin Jingfei really understand Ruan Zhiyin's temperament. In this case, she really can't keep the shares at ease.
After Lin Wei finished speaking, Cheng Yuelin lifted his eyelids lightly: "Do you want her to return the shares?"
Lin Wei paused, but his voice was very confident: "Mr. Cheng, even if she is your wife now, there is no reason to give the old man's property to a fake granddaughter."
After the other party finished speaking, he glanced at Ji Yijun, who had been silent, and then at Ruan Zhiyin, who had not replied.
To be honest, Ruan Zhiyin didn't care who the Ruan family belonged to, otherwise she wouldn't have handed over the company to Ji Yijun. Since she operated Nan Yin independently, Nguyen's shares have no meaning to her anymore.
It just doesn't mean that she is willing to hand over the shares to the Lin family.
Cheng Yuelin leaned back idle: "Did you forget something?"
He paused for a while, and took a slow look at the front of his shirt: "Nuan's shares are the common property of our husband and wife. Even if Yinyin agrees to give up, you must ask me first."
Lin Wei choked slightly: "Mr. Cheng, I don't think you care about this stake."
"Oh? Who said that?" Cheng Yuelin raised his eyebrows, dragging his usual tone, "I'm afraid you don't know me very well. As a person, I don't think I have too much money."
Lin Wei: "..."
He obviously didn't expect that Cheng Yuelin could say such shameless words and looked at Lin Jingfei subconsciously, but she ignored Lin Wei's gaze.
Even if she doesn't like Ruan Zhiyin, since the goal has been achieved, she will not seek any benefit for the Lin family.
After being silent for a long time, Ji Yijun, who was sitting opposite, said in a deep voice: "Enough, Lin Wei, just these evidences can't prove that Yinyin is not the daughter of Brother Shengwen. Lin Cheng's imprisonment is what he deserves, and the Ruan family's affairs are still in the loop. You don't have to intervene."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the people present and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll check the rest of the matter. I'll just do it today and return."
—
When Lin Jingfei returned to Qin's house, the light was on in the living room, and Qin Jue sat on the sofa silently, as if waiting for her.
"You pulled Ji Yijun out to force Zhiyin to hand over the shares?" The man's voice was obviously worried.
Everyone knows that if Ruan Zhiyin's identity cannot be determined, Ji Yijun's position is the most difficult.
No matter what, he couldn't ignore Ruan Shengwen's biological daughter who might still be living abroad.
"Am I forcing her?" Lin Jingfei sneered and looked at him, "If Ruan Zhiyin wasn't Grandpa's granddaughter, would you still favor her?"
After all, Ruan Zhiyin only lived in Ruan's house for three years. If she is really not Ruan Shengwen's daughter, those shares should not belong to her.
Lin Jingfei was really not reconciled, she had accompanied her grandfather for so many years, but after Ruan Zhiyin appeared, her grandfather favored her everywhere because she was distressed that she was lost. Until now, she couldn't get rid of Ruan Zhiyin's existence.
Qin Jue frowned slightly, and looked at her calmly: "If you can give up the investigation, I can send you abroad, and the Lin family will not come to you again."
"Going abroad?" Lin Jingfei bit her lip and couldn't help but ask, "Why, even if it's not her thing, do you want me to give it up?"
When Qin Jue let her go abroad, it meant that he never thought of getting engaged to her, even if Ruan Zhiyin was already with someone else.
So what's the point of what she did
She tried her best to separate him and Ruan Zhiyin, and did so much to tie him up, but in the end her reputation was ruined, and the company was already in turmoil.
Qin Jue raised her eyes to look at her, but her voice was indifferent: "I'm just letting you choose, you don't have to answer now."
If Lin Jingfei agreed, for Grandma Ruan's sake, he would not do anything more.
This is his last mercy.
If she refuses...
Qin Jue drooped his eyelids, remained silent, and went upstairs.
…
In another room, Qin Xiang came out of the shower and just clicked on WeChat when he saw the smoky news in a certain celebrity group.
Xie Ya: [Sisters, have you heard that Ruan Zhiyin may not be the child of the Ruan family? ]
Fan Yiyi: [Even if not, she has already inherited shares and married Cheng Yuelin, who doesn't say that she is very lucky. ]
Xuan Yun: [Sad, Feng Shui turns around. Back then, Lin Jingfei was so beautiful, her eyes were on the top of her head and she was flattered all day long. Now that my father is in prison, and the engagement banquet has been dragged on, I don't know what Young Master Qin thinks. ]
Fan Yiyi: [Master Qin still misses his ex-fiancee, right? If Ruan Zhiyin wasn't Ruan's family, and they paid back the shares, would her marriage with Cheng Yuelin survive? ]
Xie Ya: [What's the matter, Ruan Zhiyin hasn't given way yet, so you took aim? ]
Fan Yiyi: [Come on, don't just talk about me, this kind of husband who has no mother-in-law and money, don't you have any thoughts? ]
This is a group of celebrities who often make appointments for fun, and there are not many people in it, only about a dozen.
The celebrities in the wealthy circle are also hierarchical. Not all of them have career aspirations. Most of them are just gilded and adorned with designer names, waiting for their families to arrange marriages.
Like Ruan Zhiyin, who has a good family background, can study, and is praised by the elders, she can't get into the circle of eating, drinking, and having fun.
After all, she is a daughter-in-law that even the harsh Fang Weilan can't pick wrong. In the circle of celebrities, Ruan Zhiyin is someone else's child.
After reading this long string of news, Qin Xiang puffed up his cheeks with anger, and frowned as he typed—
[The relationship between husband and wife is very good, do you need to worry about you monsters? Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid! ]
After sending this sentence, Qin Xiang directly withdrew from the WeChat group.
After thinking about it, I was still angry, and I forwarded the screenshot just now to Qian Fan, and also marked everyone's identity intimately.
Qian Fan knew it, and Cheng Yuelin should know it too. I don't want Sister Zhiyin to be embarrassed because of these people, but she can sue behind her back or something, can't she
After doing all this, Qin Xiang opened the dialog box with Ruan Zhiyin.
[Sister Zhiyin, did that little bitch Lin Jingfei go to see you! Damn, I've long felt that something was wrong with her, and she's acting like a demon again! Are you OK? ]
…
After coming out of the old house, not long after getting into the car, Ruan Zhiyin received this news from Qin Xiang, and quickly replied: [Xiangxiang, I have nothing to worry about. ]
After seeing Yang Bin and his son, Ruan Zhiyin probably understood why the other party came to find a 'niece' who had been kidnapped for more than 20 years.
Seeing the other party's plan, Ruan Zhiyin breathed a sigh of relief. Even if such a person is really related to her, she can't let the other party suck blood.
If you don't have feelings, you don't have to care.
No matter how Lin Wei criticized her, she would not withdraw the case on Lin Cheng's side.
As for Ruan's shares, it means nothing to her anymore, but even if she wants to pay it back, she will only give it to Ji Yijun.
The so-called wealthy life was incompatible back then. She might be more comfortable if she could get away from everything.
Putting down the phone, Ruan Zhiyin glanced at the car window, only to realize that this was not the way home, she turned her head and asked, "Where is this going?"
Cheng Yuelin looked at her sideways: "Take you to meet someone."
"Who?" Ruan Zhiyin looked puzzled.
The man smiled: "You will know when you see it."
Ruan Zhiyin frowned, and had no choice but to swallow the doubts in her heart.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at a private clubhouse in a quiet environment in the city center.
Ruan Zhiyin followed Cheng Yuelin out of the car, and the guild hall attendant led them through the long corridor and helped to open the door of the box.
In the quiet box, a man with a serene face and a tough silhouette sat quietly in a neat suit, exuding a mature and steady aura.
There are faint lines at the end of his eyes, but just by looking at his appearance, he should be in his thirties.
After seeing them, the other party looked sideways, and his burning gaze stayed on Ruan Zhiyin's face for a long time. After a while, he said, "You are Yinyin? It's very similar to your grandmother when she was young."
Ruan Zhiyin was slightly surprised: "Who are you?"
Xu Su looked at Cheng Yuelin who was standing silently by the side, and the corners of his lips raised lightly: "I should be your uncle."
Cheng Yuelin sat down with Ruan Zhiyin, who was slightly startled, and said in a clear voice, "You took a lot of hard work and made a trip yourself."
"It's okay, I should have come back sooner."
After Xu Su finished speaking, he handed Ruan Zhiyin what was on the table.
When she read the words above, Ruan Zhiyin's face was stunned.
"You were born more than a month premature, and you were born in Beiyao. I suggested that your mother keep this thing. Later—" Xu Su paused and sighed softly, "It has never been used."
…
Until Xu Su left, Ruan Zhiyin was still in a trance. Looking at the documents on the table, he remained silent.
Cheng Yuelin patted her head soothingly: "Ji Yijun still doesn't know about this matter. It's up to you to decide whether to do it or not."
When Ruan Zhiyin heard the words, she froze and returned to her senses. She turned to look at him: "You didn't contact me for the past two days, just because you went to see... Mr. Xu?"
In fact, she didn't know what to call Xu Su.
Cheng Yuelin nodded lightly: "Well."
Xu Su is a diplomat and has been staying abroad. He was alone, not married, and for some reason did not choose to return to China after his term expired.
Before Cheng Yuelin returned to China, he flew two flights of more than ten hours in a row, so there was no time to contact her.
Seeing her staring at him in a daze, he rubbed her head: "what's the matter?"
"It's just that I suddenly want to understand something."
"What's up?"
"Alin, uncle will be nice to me, probably because I'm my father's daughter and granddaughter." Ruan Zhiyin tugged the corner of her mouth lightly, "Mr. Xu's premise for being kind to me should also be because of blood."
"People say blood is the strongest bond, but to me, blood-bound love doesn't seem to be that strong. Thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem like it matters."
Cheng Yuelin looked down at her: "You don't want to do it?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Ruan Zhiyin shook her head, rubbed her faint temple, and suddenly said, "A Lin, it seems that this place is not far from A, let's go to the playground."
In the past, when she was in school, whenever she had something she couldn't figure out or struggled with, she would walk around the playground alone, circle after circle.
As if the road under my feet is smooth, my thoughts follow.
…
In order to pretend to be school students, when the two walked into University A, they had already gone to the mall to buy two sets of sportswear and put them on.
I don't know if it is because the end of the term is approaching, there are not many people on the playground. Most of them are sports students preparing for training, and occasionally one or two couples can be seen.
Ruan Zhiyin chose to live on campus for more than a year when she was studying at University A, and at the end of the semester, she would also go to the library to grab a seat.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help complaining to Cheng Yuelin: "Do you remember, you always exploited me to help you occupy a seat in the library."
"Occupying a seat is exploitative?" He said leisurely, looking at her with drooping eyelids.
In college, Qin Jue committed suicide and 'falling in love' with Lin Jingfei. He finally waited until she abandoned Qin Jue, thinking that there was a chance, but she went to the library to plan to go abroad for further study, really It's the footsteps that don't stop.
Co-authoring and letting her occupy a seat is all exploitation
"Why not, every sports meeting in high school, you forced me to wait for you there with water."
Cheng Yuelin's motor nerves are really good, and he even got a bonus point in the college entrance examination.
In high school, most of the Wen 1 classes were girls, and boys were rarely good at sports, so whenever Lanzhong held a sports meeting, he participated in the most sports.
Ruan Zhiyin still remembers that once he ran 200 meters, skipped the girls who came forward to bring water, came over and asked her with a frown, "Ruan 嘤嘤, aren't you in charge of logistics? Where's my water?"
"Didn't Su Yixuan send it to you?"
The drinks given to the athletes are all fixed. Ruan Zhiyin was late for a while because of the traffic jam on the road that day, so she asked Su Yixuan to send the drinks to the athletes first.
But when the boy heard her words, he returned leisurely: "No."
Ruan Zhiyin looked at the empty beverage cartons and frowned, "But I don't have them here either."
"Don't you have another bottle?"
Cheng Yuelin's eyes fell on the mineral water beside her and picked it up.
"I've already-" drank this bottle of water.
Before he could say the last words, he was so thirsty that he drank the bottle of water, then turned his head to look at her: "What did you say?"
"Nothing." Ruan Zhiyin pursed her lower lip.
He drank all the drinks, and it was even more embarrassing to say it at this time.
Later, after participating in the project, he couldn't always get the drinks distributed by the class fee, so he forced Ruan Zhiyin, who was in charge of logistics, to keep the water in person.
The scene flowed, Ruan Zhiyin walked around the playground of A University, looked at the tall figure walking towards her after jogging not far away, smiled and handed him the drink in her hand.
The man took it and drank it and threw it again. The empty plastic bottle made a perfect arc and jumped into the trash can.
He turned his head to look at her, facing the evening breeze, vaguely coincident with the high-spirited seventeen-year-old boy. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, it is a handsome face dyed with bright rays of light, which makes people feel heartbroken.
Ruan Zhiyin hugged him regardless of the gazes around her.
Cheng Yuelin lowered his head and embraced her, and said casually, "What are you acting like now?"
"Alin, I love you so much."
I love this so much, and I firmly gave her everything, so that she could let go of all the uneasy him.
—
The next day, when Lin Wei and Lin Jingfei walked into the Ruan family's old house, they discovered that there was an unfamiliar face sitting on the sofa in the living room.
It was Xu Su.
Having been a diplomat for nearly 20 years, Xu Su's calm and reserved temperament is naturally different from ordinary people.
Lin Wei secretly guessed Xu Su's identity, looked at Ji Yijun who was sitting on the top, and asked, "Who is this?"
"Yinyin's uncle."
"Uncle?" Lin Wei frowned.
But he further thought that as long as he was not an elder of the same sex, he would not be able to make an accurate kinship test with Ruan Zhiyin. It is also a pity that Ruan Zhiyin has only an uncle, but no aunt.
Thinking of this, Lin Wei smiled: "Mr. Xu came here today, what is it for?"
The Xu family is just an ordinary family, and Lin Wei vaguely knew that Xu Hui had a younger brother who had been stationed abroad and did not want to return to China, but he had never met him.
He didn't expect that Xu Su would come here.
"My sister-in-law had umbilical cord blood when Yinyin was born, and I only found out today."
After Ji Yijun finished speaking, he pushed the report sheet on the table to Lin Wei: "The appraisal result is here."
Then, he looked at Lin Jingfei, who had been quietly following behind Lin Wei, with a bit of disappointment in his words.
"Jingfei, this farce should end."
