Chapter 525: How about Imitating your Father
Fourth Grandfather’s words made Ruan Qishan tense up, but he didn’t immediately declare his stance.
Seeing that Ruan Qishan did not refute his words, fourth Grandfather immediately shared a look with Old Fifth and Old Seventh as well as Ruan Guofu before continuing, “I also know that Ruan Zeyan hasn’t been married for long, but his feelings for his wife run deep. However, in a clan as big as ours, feelings are useless. Having feelings alone with no heir is useless, and there is no way he can just adopt someone from outside.”
“Of course not,” Ruan Qishan immediately refused the matter of adoption.
Fourth Grandfather nodded. “Naturally, adoption won’t do, yet Zeyan’s wife is infertile. Besides adopting, what else can they do?”
Madame Ruan sighed, her face full of grief and regret. In the eyes of those people, it seemed that Madame Ruan was regretful that Ling Tianya is infertile and therefore won’t have a great-grandson.
In reality, Madame Ruan’s thoughts were, This act that they are playing out, let them act it out to their heart’s content. They will be crying in just a little bit.
The mens’ discussion made Wang Yazhi fearful, and she went past Madame Ruan to grab Ruan Qishan’s hand. “Qishan, don’t kick Yaya out, don’t…”
Seeing Wang Yazhi’s red eyes, Ruan Qishan couldn’t say that he was going to kick Ling Tianya out. In the end, he opened his mouth only to say, “Fourth Uncle, I have considered all of the things you have said. However, just as you said, my son and my daughter-in-law’s feelings run deep, so I don’t think that they will be divorcing.” Ruan Qishan hesitated. “Also, besides being infertile, my daughter-in-law is not bad. If we kick her out like this, it would make the Ruan Family look heartless.”
Hearing Ruan Qishan’s words, Ruan Lijia dug her fingernails into her flesh and clenched her jaw in distaste.
Ling Tianya was not bad? Where was she not bad? She was a woman from a small background. Besides being smart, what else did she have?
At this moment, Ruan Guofu’s expression also changed. He knew that telling Ruan Qishan to kick Ling Tianya out would be no easy task but at the same time, he knew of the importance of heirs for Ruan Qishan. Therefore, he could tolerate it. Just like Second Brother said, as long as Lijia could enter the Ruan Family mansion, then they will have many chances to kick Ling Tianya out in the future.
Between people, the most precious things are feelings, yet, at the same time, feelings are the weakest.
He didn’t believe that by the time Lijia was pregnant with child, that Ruan Zeyan would still pay attention to the infertile Ling Tianya.
Thinking this, Ruan Guofu patted Ruan Lijia’s hand, warning her to control her emotions.
Fourth Grandfather knew that Ling Tianya had just been discharged from the hospital and that telling Ruan Qishan to kick her out was currently unrealistic. Even if they didn’t take into consideration of the feelings between Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya, the public would despise them for it.
Right now, everyone hated the rich. The Ruan Family have always been a rich family that attracted criticism. The second they had information against them, the public would worsen it threefold, which wouldn’t be good for either the Ruan Family nor the corporation.
Although fourth Grandfather was old, his mind was still clear. Therefore, he refrained from pleading his case and said, “You are right, Qishan. We can’t allow the public to say that the Ruan Family is unkind. However, Ling Tianya is infertile, which is a huge problem. Worse comes to worse…”
Fourth Grandfather didn’t complete his sentence but rather shot Ruan Qishan a meaningful glance before looking at Ruan Guofu. “You know how the brothers Guosheng and Guofu came to be. Why don’t we imitate the method of my brother, your father, and find another woman to bear a child for Zeyan?”
