Ruan Liansong, who used to be an all-powerful and domineering figure in the business world, now only looked down and old in Hua Mu Xin's eyes. The only thing that remained unchanged was his sharp eyes that were looking at Hua Mu Xin through the transparent acryl window. In an instant, the air changed rapidly, creating subtle sparks that made Xue Mu Yang feel a different atmosphere.
How should he put it?
In the past, Ruan Liansong was always full of hostility when he saw them, but now there was no hostility in his eyes. Instead, there was sadness.
Who was he grieving for?
Picking up the microphone, Hua Mu Xin said in a low voice,""You don't seem surprised by my appearance?”
Ruan Liansong was someone who had seen great storms and waves. He was indeed surprised by Hua Mu Xin's appearance at first, but it was only for a moment. His appearance gave him an opportunity to stop him from dealing with his poor daughter.
"Pin Ai came to see me yesterday and told me everything that happened between you and You Lin.”
Through the microphone, Hua Mu Xin heard an old voice.
Hua Mu Xin coldly raised his eyebrows. "Since you know everything, I won't beat around the bush.”
"Let's get straight to the point. I hope you'll let my daughter go.”
In the business world, Hua Mu Xin and his three good friends were well-known business geniuses. The four of them started from scratch and had abilities that could not be underestimated.
He was blinded by greed, and with the instigation of Feng Qi, Feng Mutian's brother, he made a huge mistake. By the time he regretted it, it was already too late.
One wrong step led to more and more mistakes. He could only sink deeper and deeper until he was caught by the police. His domineering life would decline from then on and he would have to spend most of his life in prison.
Not only did he think a lot in prison, but he also understood a lot. He knew that his past evil deeds were unforgivable and was willing to repent for the rest of his life in prison, but the only thing that made him miss was his precious daughter.
Although Youlin looked cold and arrogant, she was actually more fragile than anyone else. He had always been worried that she would not be able to deal with the deception in the business world, but he did not expect that Youlin would follow in his footsteps and provoke a man she should not provoke because of him.
It was simply foolish to scheme against Hua Mu Xin's feelings. If he had known beforehand, he would have tried his best to stop it.
"I think you should know what she did to me. I won't let her off so easily.”He spat out the words through gritted teeth, his cold expression making people tremble with fear.
"This is all because of me. If you're unwilling, come at me directly. Don't lay your hands on my daughter again. She's innocent.”
"She's innocent, so I deserve to die for being cruelly deceived by her?”Hua Mu Xin replied with a cold smile.
"Youlin has already learned her lesson. Can't you let her go? I beg you, stop attacking her. In fact, she was not as strong as she looked. She was more fragile than anyone else since she was young. If you have any resentment, come at me. As her father, I am willing to bear everything for her.”
"What a deep father-daughter relationship. I didn't expect that the ambitious you would pity your daughter so much and couldn't bear to see her suffer any harm.”Hua Mu Xin laughed mockingly, but his heart was in turmoil.
She had a father who doted on her. That was why after her father's accident, she desperately wanted to avenge him. Her filial piety was indeed touching, but her actions almost ruined his life.
"Are you willing to let her go?" Ruan Liansong looked into his cold eyes anxiously.
Hearing this, Hua Mu Xin's lips curled into a cold smile, and his cold lines became even stiffer.
"I won't let anyone who hurts me off.”
"I can see that you still have feelings for Youlin. Otherwise, you wouldn't hate her so much. There's always a lot of love behind hatred. Although that child has deceived your feelings, I believe that she still has feelings for you. Pin Ai's words have allowed me to know the child's heart like the back of my hand. That child…she loves you too.”He was moved by emotions, hoping to move Hua Mu Xin's heart.
"She…loves me?"
He had never thought about this and wholeheartedly believed that she had cheated him of his feelings.
He still could not recover from the injuries he had suffered, so when he saw her as the executioner, he could not help but curse and mercilessly attack her. It was easier said than done for him to forgive her.
However, he could not deny that his heart was gradually seeing the light of day because of Ruan Liansong's words. Was her heart like what Ruan Liansong had said? Did she love him?
When Xue Mu Yang heard the conversation between Hua Mu Xin and Ruan Liansong, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily. It seemed that Mu Xin had finally found the crux of the matter.
The truth was simple. Mu Xin had been concerned about Ruan Youlin's heart from the beginning.
Ruan Liansong saw that he was moved and immediately said earnestly,"Since both of you have feelings for each other, why don't you put aside your hatred and face your own hearts? I'm already old. The days in prison feel like years. I don't even know if I can survive it. The only thing I care about is that child. If I give that child to you, I'll be very relieved because I can see that you're persistent and serious about that child. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here.”
Thinking of the cruel behavior of the past few days, Ruan Liansong's words were like a guiding line that connected Hua Muxin's mind. He couldn't help but smile.
He suddenly realized that his actions these days were all because of love!
Because of love, he couldn't stand her deception. So, his ruthless attacks were aimed at healing the wounds in his heart.
Xue Mu Yang silently placed his hand on Hua Mu Xin's shoulder, using his eyes to convey a deep message of friendship. In an instant, Hua Mu Xin's heart suddenly opened up, and those dark clouds instantly disappeared without a trace.
After hanging up the phone, Hua Mu Xin and Ruan Liansong's eyes met. Ruan Liansong no longer cared about whether he answered or not because he already knew the answer from his eyes.
He finally let go of the huge rock in his heart. As he watched Hua Mu Xin and Xue Mu Yang leave, the wrinkles on his face slowly rose as he revealed a kind smile.
He was looking forward to the next time he saw Hua Mu Xin, admiring his unique cold arrogance as a father-in-law…
Pinai was shocked to see Hua Muxin, but she quickly reacted with a displeased expression.
"How do you know where Youlin lives?”
"This small problem is not difficult for me."
Indeed, if he wanted to know, he just needed to find someone to investigate. "It's useless even if you know where You Lin lives. Please get out of my sight immediately. You're not welcome here.”
"What about her?" He didn't even want to move. His bright eyes peered into the room through Pinai's head and saw a person lying on the sofa.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't look so angry. Don't worry, I won't attack her again. I have something to ask you.”
Hua Mu Xin's dark eyes stared unblinkingly at the woman who was floating towards the sofa. Seeing that she was not moving at all, he could not help but worry. "Why is she sleeping on the sofa?"
His worried tone made Pinai frown. "I'm drunk."
"Drunk?"
"It's all your fault. After losing the management rights of the company, she was in so much pain that she had to get herself drunk to sleep these few days.”
"I'll carry her to the bed first. I'll talk to you later.”
Without waiting for Zhong Pinai's response, he walked straight into the living room and picked up Ruan Youlin, who was lying on the sofa.
When he saw her sleeping face, his heart could not help but be hit hard. Her haggard and sunken eyes were like a bucket of ice water that was poured on his head, waking him up on the spot.
How despicable was he? He actually used such a vicious move on a weak woman. She must have had a hard time recently, living in depression and pain all day long.
Ruan Youlin opened her drowsy eyes because of his actions. When she saw the familiar yet unfamiliar face, she reached out to touch the face that she hated and loved.
"Hua Mu Xin, you big bastard…"
She could not help but reprimand him, but the strength of her hand gently brushed his face like a breeze.
Hua Mu Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at her. Even in her sleep, her hatred for him was still the same.
Pinai patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, she's just expressing her emotions. What she says in her dreams is always the opposite of the truth. Believe me, I know her better than anyone else. Hurry up and carry her to bed. I know you have a lot of questions to ask me.”
When Hua Muxin picked Ruan Youlin up, she saw a pair of passionate eyes.
She was no stranger to this side of him. When they were in Japan, Hua Mu Xin had expressed his feelings for You Lin in this way. Therefore, she knew that Hua Mu Xin's appearance at this moment was a ray of hope, not a cloud of sorrow.
"Where is her dormitory?"
"Turn right on the second floor, first room."
Hua Mu Xin carried Ruan You Lin up to the second floor as if he was protecting a precious treasure. Along the way, his passionate gaze locked onto her haggard face.
After placing her on the bed, Hua Mu Xin stretched out his hand and smoothed her frown. "Do you know that this relationship has made me suffer? I love and hate you at the same time. I'm afraid that once you know my heart, I'll face another betrayal. Tell me, what should I do with you?”
Thinking of what Ruan Liansong had said, her heart that had been silent for a long time was revived.
"Do you really love me?"
His fingers caressed her delicate lips and lingered on them. Hua Mu Xin lowered his head to give her an affectionate kiss.
Ruan Youlin slightly opened her drunken eyes. " Why is it you again? I wanted to forget you, but why can't you let me go even in my…dream…" She burped.
"Look carefully, you are not dreaming.”Hua Mu Xin's eyes revealed a deep affection.
Ruan Youlin tried her best to open her eyes wide, but she laughed heartily. " This must be a dream. Otherwise, how could you…look at me like this? Do you know how gentle you are right now? You make me feel so comfortable…"
"Silly, as long as you want, I can do this to you at any time.”
"You still said that I wasn't…dreaming. If it wasn't a dream, how could I be so beautiful? " In reality, you will only treat me as an enemy and attack me mercilessly. Then…I will be sad for a long time…" After Ruan You Lin finished speaking, she started crying like a child and used Hua Mu Xin's clothes as toilet paper to wipe.
"Why were you sad for so long?”His tone was filled with pity.
" Because you're…very detestable…"
"Yes, I'm hateful, but that's also because I love you.”
"This must be a dream. You were so gentle in the dream. Do you know that I…love…love…"
His deep voice was like a lullaby. Ruan Youlin couldn't stand the effects of alcohol, and her next words were replaced by sleepiness.
Hua Mu Xin's heart was in turmoil. "You're really a torturous little elf. Even when you're asleep, you can make my heart feel at a loss. Are you muttering drunk words in response to my feelings?”Countless hopes rose in his heart, but what answered him was a series of deep breathing.
Upon seeing this, Hua Mu Xin no longer acted like a fool and expressed his love for the drunk her. He pulled up the blanket at the side and carefully covered her with it. Then, he lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead before walking out of her bedroom.
It seemed like Pinai was the only one who could answer his questions.
The board meeting that was supposed to be held next Friday had not even arrived yet, but Hua Mu Xin was already impatient to pick a candidate for the president. In just two days, the board meeting was held earlier today to announce her sorry state earlier, so that she could berate him for his ruthlessness.
Ruan You Lin sat at the side of the conference table with a cold and arrogant expression. She looked straight into Hua Mu Xin's eyes without fear. Even if she lost, she had to lose with dignity. She could not let him laugh at her incompetence.
"Fellow directors, I think you might be suspicious of the purpose of my early board meeting today.”
At the same time that Hua Mu Xin spoke, a pair of bright eyes swiftly swept across everyone, only to see them nodding with a pair of puzzled eyes.
Ruan Youlin, on the other hand, had a fearless expression as she waited for her death sentence.
"To everyone's surprise, I want to cancel the nomination of the president.”
Just as he expected, the moment he said this, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar. However, he raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and then his bright eyes fell on Ruan Youlin.
" The president of the company hasn't changed. It's still Ms. Ruan Youlin. And I'm here to officially announce that the Soaring Eagle Corporation will not interfere with any of the Ruan Corporation's operations. To be precise, the Ruan Corporation will continue to operate as usual and will not be annexed by the Soaring Eagle Corporation.”
The directors present were all surprised. They did not understand how things could change so quickly. He couldn't even figure out what Hua Mu Xin was up to. He changed so easily that he was completely unable to withstand it?
Ruan Youlin was even more stunned, and her thoughts spun rapidly like a marquee. She was the same as every director, she could not figure out what Hua Mu Xin was thinking. She looked at Zhong Pinai and saw a strange smile on his face.
What was going on?
Ruan Youlin stared at Zhong Pinai's strange smile with confusion.
Zhong Pinai only smiled and asked her to look at Hua Muxin. He would naturally give her a satisfactory answer.
"If no one has any objections, we can dismiss the meeting.”
How could she not have any objections? Yue Mu You rolled her eyes at Hua Mu Xin. Even if she was anxious, she wouldn't behave like this.
His words made the directors look at each other, but Hua Mu Xin ignored him and planned to chase him away.
Even though the directors were full of questions, none of them dared to raise them. After one of them stood up and walked out of the meeting room, the others followed suit. In less than a minute, there were only four people left in the meeting room.
"You're still ruthless enough to chase them away without explaining anything.”
Yue Mu You's eyes and lips were filled with smiles, causing his handsome face to add a layer of light.
"A wise man understands the times. No one dares to refute my words.”They were all smart people. Even if they were full of questions, they could only do as they were told because no one could resist his words and decisions.
"Yes, you are very powerful. No one dares to openly challenge your public authority.”Yue Mu You spat disapprovingly, clearly spitting at his noise.
"What are you still standing here for?" It was an eyesore, so Hua Mu Xin treated it coldly.
Mu Yang was the sensible one and found an excuse to not attend the meeting. Only the annoying Mu You did not know how to read people's expressions and insisted on following them shamelessly.
It was fine if he followed them, but when he saw him clearing the area, he should have been smart enough to immediately follow the directors out and leave some space for him and Ruan Youlin to be alone instead of waiting for him to chase them away.
"No way, you want to chase me away too?”
"It's useless for you to stay here." Veins bulged on Hua Mu Xin's forehead. If he continued to stare at them, he would not be able to resist beating them up.
Pinai quickly pushed Yue Muyou away."We should be sensible and leave quickly.”
"Pin Ai, what are you doing?" Ruan Youlin looked at the flowers in the fog, and the more she looked, the more confused she became. Pin Ai, who had always been protective of her friends, was actually in a hurry to push Yue Mu You away, leaving her and Hua Mu Xin alone?
"Can't you tell? Of course, I'm leaving space for you and him.”She pointed at Hua Mu Xin beside her, and their eyes met.
"Do you know something that you didn't tell me?”Although she was surprised by the change in everyone's attitude, her brain did not stop working. She immediately realized that there was something wrong with her friend.
Zhong Pinai didn't tell You Lin about Hua Muxin's appearance. She wanted Hua Muxin to answer the question himself.
When they chose to leave, there was finally a silver lining. Hua Mu Xin's words had completely touched her heart. However, to be honest, she had always felt guilty and admired Hua Mu Xin.
He felt guilty that she was an accomplice and that he did not wish him well when he was infatuated with Youlin. Instead, he helped Youlin scheme his feelings. She admired his infatuation with You Lin. As a woman, if a man could love her so much, she would die without regrets.
Therefore, if the two of them could bury the hatchet and get back together, it would be a good thing. He believed that his uncle in prison would also be happy about this.
"If you have any questions in your heart, you can directly ask Hua Mu Xin. I will help you chase this tactless person out.”Pinai said as he pushed Yue Muyou, who seemed to have something to say.
At this time, no one was in the mood to listen to Yue Mu You's nonsense.
He was talking non-stop, but he didn't understand a single word because Pinai's hand blocked his words.
After the two of them left the meeting room, Pinliang cleverly locked the door.#
