Chapter 241: Chapter 241: After Kicking Away the Scumbag, the Aloof Buddhist Son Dotes on His Wife 41 Chapter 241: Chapter 241: After Kicking Away the Scumbag, the Aloof Buddhist Son Dotes on His Wife 41 Visible to the naked eye, Zhou Mingyu’s face also revealed a sense of helplessness. He walked forward, stood by Su Zhiruan’s side, and introduced her, “These are my grandparents. They wanted to see you when they heard you were coming.”
“Coming on such short notice, I truly apologize.” The Zhou senior smiled apologetically.
“I am Su Zhiruan. Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou, I’m very pleased to meet you,” Su Zhiruan also smiled warmly, “It is I who came suddenly without preparing any gifts for you two elders, and for that, I’m truly sorry.”
“No need, no need, you are here to see Mingyu, and we didn’t expect to be here,” After hearing her finish these words, Madam Zhou had an even better impression of Su Zhiruan.
Zhou Mingyu has always been pure and had little desire for relationships over so many years. The Zhou Family had been worrying, even introducing him to hundreds of different types of women, some sexy and hot, some cute and sweet, but he showed no interest in any of them, which also made everyone in the Zhou family curious about what type Mingyu really liked.
In the rumors, Su Zhiruan’s reputation was dragged down by Jiang Beiyu, turning her into a notorious lover, to the point where many parents used her case as a warning to their daughters against marrying down. However, upon meeting her in person, they found rumors to be just rumors. The young lady in front of them had a bright, clear smile, a clear and bright gaze, was good-looking with a blessed appearance, spoke appropriately, and dressed decently. She was the daughter-in-law of the in-laws’ dreams, and the granddaughter-in-law they had envisioned.
“You all sit down first; I’ll go pour some tea.” Zhou Mingyu led the three to the living room.
“Then we will call you Ruanruan,” said Madam Zhou, her hair gray and not dyed black. Born into a prominent family, her presence and manner of speaking were unmatched by ordinary people. She smiled kindly and sat next to Su Zhiruan, “We have heard about you before. We even encountered you and Mingyu in the park once, but since you two looked so sweet together, we didn’t want to disturb you.”
“So the two of you were there at that time,” Su Zhiruan had not realized that they had been seen by Mingyu’s grandparents in the park before. She remembered that walk quite clearly. The two college students who drew them later posted the video on her account. Although it did not get many likes, the comments were exclusively positive. She remembered quite clearly, but did not expect that Mingyu’s grandparents had seen them at the park, “If I had known, I could have had the chance to meet you two earlier.”
“It is not too late to get to know each other now.” Madam Zhou smiled warmly.
Zhou Mingyu had prepared the tea and poured a cup for everyone. The four chatted leisurely, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
Su Zhiruan could clearly sense the enthusiastic attitude of Madam Zhou and Mr. Zhou, which overflowed in their words. They probably would have discussed the wedding ceremony right then and there if they weren’t afraid of startling her.
After the casual conversation, Su Zhiruan excused herself having said just enough, and the other three reluctantly saw her out.
When Jiang Beiyu was released from the detention center, he became decadent and listless.
He was a typical bully at home but a coward outside.
Unable to attain dignity and status outside, he could only endure being bullied by others. When he came home and saw the vulnerable women, the violent tendencies in his heart would surge, and Bai Yueyou, who had just finished her confinement, suffered his domestic abuse time and time again.
At first, when Jiang Beiyu got drunk and beat Bai Yueyou, he would embrace Bai Yueyou the next day and apologize, swearing he would never do it again, and Bai Yueyou, a true romantic, believed his remorse.
But after the first time, there came a second and a third. She thought about running away, but the true colors of her evil mother-in-law surfaced, and Jiang Beiyu’s nature started to reveal itself bit by bit. She found herself unable to break free.
With encouragement from his mother, Jiang Beiyu shamelessly wanted to return to work at Su Group, but, of course, things didn’t go as he wished. Upon his return, he found himself stripped of his position and power. Before, relying on his future control over Su Group, he sidelined several small stars with potential, offended many, and demoted them. Yet, when he came back, he saw these people had all returned to their suitable positions, looking down on him with disdain as if he were a beaten dog.
He also tried to contact Su Zhiruan, only to discover that all the messages he sent went unanswered, and when he called, he found his number had been blocked.
When he changed numbers multiple times to continue harassing Su Zhiruan, he found that his new numbers also couldn’t be used any longer.
After he realized this, Jiang Beiyu no longer dared to have someone else harass Su Zhiruan.
In the following days, Su Zhiruan had no extra attention to spare for Jiang Beiyu. Rumors come and go quickly. Moreover, now seen by others as a wronged and betrayed lover, everyone, from netizens to company employees, sympathized with her. Seeing her transform into a workaholic, they all assumed she was reacting to the shock and hurt, so they cooperated with her more at work.
Already experienced in work, with the support of employees and the delegation of authority from her father, Su Zhiruan’s influence within the company grew. Eventually, even when her father held core meetings, she was included, and the shareholders didn’t dare to object.
In just one short month, with her team’s support, Su Zhiruan led the company’s turnover to increase several times over.
Regardless of whether Su’s parents were at social engagements or parties, they could hear everyone’s praise for their daughter.
With their child’s accomplishments, the parents glowed with pride, and to them, Su Zhiruan, now enlightened, was a business prodigy.
Before, they had never considered letting their precious only daughter inherit the company, simply wishing for her lifelong happiness. However, now they swelled with pride, watching their daughter praised by all, handling affairs meticulously, and navigating the world with increasing savvy.
And those small stars previously sidelined by Jiang Beiyu were brought back by Su Zhiruan. She spent a whole night studying the original story, future hit movies, and variety shows, selecting different budding stars for specific works.
Several young stars, who thought their best years were over after being sidetracked, were moved to tears when they received personalized scripts from Su Zhiruan, some even wanted to kneel in gratitude right there.
If Su Zhiruan hadn’t stopped them in time, there might have been rumors circulating about her forcing people to kneel in her office.
That day, as soon as Su Zhiruan opened the door, she found Zhou Mingyu standing at her doorstep.
“Why are you here?” she asked in surprise.
