“Big brother, I have just heard that your daughter-in-law has had an accident, so I came over to see if there is anything I can do.” Ruan Guofu looked anxious and clearly wanted to help.

Ruan Qishan exhaled deeply and shook his head as if he was in pain. “You are thoughtful. But there is nothing you can do at the moment.

Ruan Guofu paused for a second and said, “How is your daughter-in-law? I heard that it was a miscarriage. Is it going to be a problem for the future?” The question was very direct. Ruan Qishan’s face darkened immediately.

Ruan Guofu noticed his expression and tried to explain himself. “Big brother, I am concerned about our family. If your daughter-in-law is really... you should make plans soon. After all, nothing is more important than having heirs!”

As soon as he mentioned heirs, Wang Yazhi began to cry once more. How much suffering had she endured in the past in order to give birth to this so-called heir? Yaya had never had to suffer this kind of hardship.

Seeing Wang Yazhi’s reaction, a glimmer of light flashed in Ruan Guofu’s eyes. “After all, Zeyan is the leader of the family. He can’t remain childless for much longer...” he said.

Ruan Qishan nodded solemnly. He was unsure of the true purpose behind Ruan Guofu’s words. He might genuinely be concerned, or he might have come over just to see what was going on. Nevertheless, what he had said was undeniably true.

Ruan Qishan was not that traditional or conservative. If this was an ordinary family, he could accept adoption or even no children. However, it was absolutely impossible in the Ruan family. He knew just how much was going on in the family beneath the seemingly harmonious appearance.

The third Mrs. Ruan nudged Ruan Guofu from behind after he failed to bring Ruan Lijia up in the conversation. Ruan Guofu turned around and shook his head slightly at her. Now was not the time to raise this matter. Moreover, it should not come from his mouth in this way, so Ruan Qishan would not suspect.

Originally, Guo Guofu almost hadn’t been able to control himself. He had planned to suggest his idea, that Ruan Lijia could be with Ruan Zeyan, direct to Ruan Qishan Fortunately, Ruan Guosheng had warned him to dismiss that idea earlier on.

The mood of Ruan Qishan’s family was dismal. Ruan Guofu and the third Mrs. Ruan only stayed in the big house for a little while before they said their goodbyes and left.

In the car, the third Mrs. Ruan complained. “Why didn’t you bring up the thing about Lijia? You didn’t say anything, and you didn’t let me say anything either!

Ruan Guofu glared at the third Mrs. Ruan. “Of course not! My second brother told me that I was stupid. I’m telling you that you are more stupid! Ling Tianya has just had an accident, and we went to give our condolences. It was enough just to hint at Ruan Qishan. If we bring up Lijia now, isn’t that just telling Ruan Qishan that we had something to do with it?”

The third Mrs. Ruan found the argument reasonable. “What should we do then? If we don’t follow up when it’s still fresh, and we wait until Ruan Qishan finds another woman, what will happen to our Lijia then?”

Ruan Guofu let out a burst of insidious laughter, “How can I give them the opportunity to find other women? Even if I am willing, my second brother definitely is not!”

“Then...”

Ruan Guofu patted his wife’s hand. “Don’t worry. Second brother said that he had everything planned. We can wait until it is time for Lijia to take the position of the President’s wife. As long as Lijia gives birth to the legal heir when the time comes, we will find the opportunity to get rid of Ruan Qishan and Ran Zeyan. At that time, the entire Ruan Family will belong to me, Ruan Guofu!”

Deep longing could be seen in the eyes of the third Mrs. Ruan. She had envied Wang Yazhi for such a long time. “But if Ruan Zeyan dies, won’t our Lijia be a widow?”

Ruan Guofu rolled his eyes at the third Mrs. Ruan. “You idiotic woman! When that time comes, our Lijia’s status will be so prestigious, she’ll be able to have any man she wants!”

“You’re right!”

The couple smiled at each other as they longed for the future to come.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
