He had never doubted Ruan Xingchen's ability, and he would not be like some men who refused to acknowledge the excellence of the women around them.

In his eyes, it was Ruan Xingchen who made him regain the will to live and made the entire Huo family prosper and get better and better.

But what he could do for Ruan Xingchen was really very little.

At most, when she was penniless, I provided her with some start-up capital so that she could take off faster.

Hearing his unhesitating defense, Ruan Xingchen couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and reached out to hold his big hand.

Her Mr. Huo is so cute.

She takes her protection seriously, looking cool and domineering.

It made her want to kiss him again.

Her eyes were sparkling, and her distinct black and white pupils stared at him quietly.

Huo Yan's ears couldn't help but turn red, and he covered her hand in his palm.

The lady's gaze was so direct and passionate that it made his face hot, but he couldn't help feeling happy.

There was an ambiguous trend between the two of them, but Ruan Weisi was almost going crazy with jealousy.

There is nothing more frustrating than giving up a treasure with your own hands.

She once disliked Huo Yan for his disabled legs and mood swings, and believed the rumors that he would really become depressed and turn into a complete lunatic.

But now the tall man is full of nobility, and no one in the entire H city dares to provoke him.

But her life was getting worse and worse. How could she not feel regret and pain?

"If you can't speak, just shut up!"

Ruan Zeming's face turned ugly, and he scolded her, "If it weren't for you causing trouble, how could our family become like this? You rebellious girl, if I had known you were so troublesome, I should have strangled you to death!"

After finishing the scolding, he turned to face Ruan Xingchen, his face stiffly pulled.

After a while, he managed an awkward smile and said, "Han Xing, your sister is confused and can't speak. Don't bother with her..."

He is already an old fox in the business world, but he still doesn't mean what he says.

Ruan Xingchen couldn't help but reveal a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

She knew clearly that Ruan Zeming said this not because he recognized her excellence, but because he wanted something from her and was deliberately saying nice things to appease her.

What's funny is that even a few nice words have to be said so reluctantly, as if he is condescending.

"There's no need to say anything hypocritical."

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, falling on her porcelain-white skin. Ruan Xingchen interrupted calmly, "Why did you ask me to come back? Just tell me."

She put on a half-smile and said in a slightly cold tone, "Everyone is busy, there's no need to be so hypocritical."

Ruan Zeming's eyes flashed with embarrassment.

"I don't care about your flattery at all."

Ruan Weisi didn't know if he had completely given up, but he sneered sarcastically when he heard this and said, "Does it feel good to be rejected?"

"Shut up! You don't have the place to talk here!"

Ruan Zeming was already feeling both ashamed and angry, and upon hearing this, he flew into a rage, scolding harshly, "Shut up! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

His eyes were bloodshot and had a hint of ferocity.

Ruan Weisi bit his gums, chuckled softly, and said nothing more.

She just didn't want to make a scene and let Ruan Xingchen laugh at her.

Ruan Zeming barely suppressed his emotions, glanced at Huo Yan beside him, and then said, "Han Xing, how long are you going to keep getting mad at me?"

"Mr. Ruan thinks I'm throwing a tantrum?"

Ruan Xingchen looked at him intently, as if hearing a funny joke. He couldn't help but curl his brows and said, "Mr. Ruan, do you think that your twenty years of indifference only resulted in a complaint that I was throwing a tantrum?"

She thought it was ridiculous.

She always remembered the feeling of waiting outside the Ruan family's door in the rain.

From humble prayers to despair in the heart.

She was still very young at that time, but she already understood the hardships of life and knew that no one in the world loved her except her grandmother.

She just wanted to ask him to save her grandmother, and even thought that as long as he was willing to give money for her grandmother's hospitalization, she would definitely repay him well when she grew up.

But what about him?

He didn't even bother to see her.

In her previous life, she struggled desperately, but her life became more and more miserable.

The Ruan family was at its peak, and Ruan Zeming was even more glamorous.

When he was in his prime, did he ever think of his daughter?

"Look, you're still in a bad mood."

Ruan Zeming's face froze. While he felt ashamed and annoyed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was angry that Ruan Xingchen was so vindictive that he actually spoke to him, his father, like that and even asked him to coax him.

On the other hand, he subconsciously felt that as long as Ruan Xingchen showed that he still cared about him, it meant that he still wanted him as a father.

Then if he just coaxes her a little more, she will change her mind.

He showed a loving face and shook his head, saying, "Han Xing, Dad knows that what he did in the past was wrong. Dad has reflected on himself during this period of time. Are you willing to give Dad a chance and let Dad make it up to you?"

He said this in a much more sophisticated way, at least it was no longer obvious that he was insincere.

Ruan Xingchen found it somewhat amusing and could not help but ask, "How do you want compensation? First, let me contribute money and effort to help you revitalize the company. Then, you say something nice to me and ask me to work like a slave for the Ruan family without asking for money?"

She had long seen through Ruan Zeming's thoughts.

This time he called her back and even talked about dividing the inheritance. To put it bluntly, he saw that she was profitable now and wanted to suck her blood.

"Han Xing, how could you miss your father so much?"

Ruan Zeming frowned and said disapprovingly: "Dad really wants to make it up to you. It's just..."

He smiled bitterly and said, "Boss Huo is trying to teach me a lesson to vent your anger, and Dad accepts it. The Ruan family has been struggling to survive during this period, so I won't say anything. But Second Young Master Gu, he's bullying others by taking advantage of his power, which is too unreasonable!"

He was genuinely angry, his voice rising a few notches as he spoke, "Because of a little sentimental sentiment, you're using all means to deal with our family. Han Xing, Daddy really wants to be good to you and want to make it up to you. But, everything in this world is inseparable from material things."

He persuaded softly, "If the Ruan Corporation thrives, Dad will be able to do more for you. Dad isn't asking for your help for the Ruan Corporation. Dad doesn't want to hold you back and become a burden to you."

Ruan Weisi couldn't help but show a look of sarcasm when hearing this.

How stupid do you have to be to believe such talk?

"Mr. Ruan, what you mean is that you asked me to help you not for yourself, but for me?"

Ruan Xingchen looked up at him, with a hint of smile in her eyes, as if she was really moved.
