Returning to the villa, she couldn’t wait to tell Tang Yuchen about this.
The man listened and then curled his lips in a smirk, "An Ruo, you are really easy to deceive. Just for this little favor, you compromised?"
An Ruo knew he would say that, indifferently she responded, "For me, this is the best outcome. And this isn’t just a little favor, it’s the part I should take; not a bit more belongs to me and Xiao Ji."
"Really?" Tang Yuchen gently looked up, lazily asking, "Then the one hundred million I spent on your behalf, just let them take it for free?"
A stab of pain flashed in An Ruo’s eyes, her complexion darkened.
"That was me repaying them for their kindness in raising me!"
After all, he had always been raising them, brother and sister. She couldn’t deny that without Uncle’s protection and care, she and Xiao Ji wouldn’t have grown up smoothly.
The person he used to be, to them, had indeed given familial love.
Tang Yuchen withdrew the smile from his lips, glanced at her, and stopped talking.
His eyes held a bit of profound understanding.
An Ruo’s view of family differed greatly from his.
On the contrary, he didn’t care whether others had been good to him; he only knew if someone used him, hurt him, then that person was his enemy.
He had always held this thought, but now, seeing An Ruo’s stubborn beliefs, he felt a bit confused.
Could it be that his thoughts were wrong?
An Mingqi acted quickly, and indeed, two days later, An Ruo and An Ji jointly held 15 percent of An family’s shares.
This was a happy ending for everyone; An Ruo got her rightful share, and An Mingqi’s offered shares weren’t too much, he still had the most decision-making power in An family.
An Ruo thought that would be the end of it, from now on she and Uncle would stay out of each other’s way, each walking their own path.
But Tang Yuchen wouldn’t think so.
An Mingqi willingly gave up 15 percent, there definitely must be a problem.
He would never believe that just a small benefit was used to placate An Ruo; An Mingqi was a greedy person, the type who wouldn’t spit out something once eaten.
The thing that made him spit it out must be for the purpose of a long-term plan, to catch a bigger fish.
The big fish they wanted to catch must be him.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
During this period, An Xin didn’t make any moves, and An Mingqi didn’t either.
An Ruo and Tang Yuchen’s relationship was very harmonious; she learned not to resist him, to avoid making him angry.
He, in turn, was no longer cruel or overbearing to her.
Even from time to time he would send her small gifts and take her out to eat and have fun.
However, beneath the calm life, there lay a turbulent undercurrent.
One day, An Ruo suddenly received a phone call from An Xin.
Over the phone, An Xin’s tone was frantic, as if something serious had happened, "An Ruo, can you come to the hospital? I’m here waiting for you."
An Ruo asked for the address and hurried to the hospital.
An Xin was sitting on a bench outside the hospital, head down, looking very sad.
An Ruo didn’t know what had happened, but her intuition told her it was definitely not good.
She walked over and crouched next to her, cautiously asking, "Sister, what happened?"
An Xin raised her head, her eyes were red.
She stared blankly at An Ruo, after a long while, she finally murmured, "An Ruo, I’m pregnant..."
