In the study of Ruan Guosheng’s house, fourth grandfather was pacing back and forth anxiously. Fifth and seventh grandfather were sitting on the sofa looking serious.
“Fourth brother, so the matter was not accomplished today. Do you think Ruan Guosheng will still honor the shares that he promised to us?” asked fifth grandfather.
Fourth grandfather sighed heavily. “I am also worried about this. Today, we really offended Ruan Zeyan about this thing. If we can’t get anything from Ruan Guosheng either, we will have really lost on both sides.”
“Yeah! The three of us put in a lot of effort today. And we almost kicked out Ling Tianya. Who knew things would turn out like this in the end? It was not because we didn’t contribute, but because that Ling Tianya was too cunning. We were all played!”
Fourth grandfather’s eyes darkened as he slammed his palm on the table. “Who would have thought that the woman was so smart. She had already calculated everything, and the three of us were just jokers in her eyes!”
“This Ling Tianya is too sinister. She knew that she hadn’t lost the baby but declared to the world that she was infertile. She clearly set a trap and waited for us to jump inside! It is abhorrent!” Fifth grandfather said with anger.
“Fortunately, we left quickly today. But I’m not sure if Ruan Zeyan will give our families a hard time in the future. The three of us are old men who don’t have much time left, but what about our children?” said seventh grandfather worriedly.
Fourth grandfather’s face became gloomy.
That was right. The three old guys had one foot in the coffin already and they didn’t care. But their children and grandchildren would still rely on Ruan Zeyan for their livelihoods in the future. Today, they offended Ling Tianya, which meant they offended Ruan Zeyan. So the future was hard to predict.
“So, we have to make sure that Ruan Guosheng gives us his word, and that those 2% shares must be given to us!”
The shares represented money and rights. As long as they held these two things in their hands, the days of their families would be a little bit better in the future.
“Yes! We have to get them!”
Then, the door of the study opened. Ruan Guosheng walked in with a smile on his face.
“So my three uncles are all here!” said Ruan Guosheng as he walked to the sofa and sat down.
When he saw Ruan Guosheng, fourth grandfather also sat down. “Guosheng, we are here to talk to you about something.”
Ruan Guosheng nodded. “Fourth uncle, please speak up.”
Fourth grandfather exchanged a glance with his two younger brothers and then said, “The incident at the big mansion today, you must have heard about it?”
“Yes.” Ruan Guosheng nodded again.
“That’s good. I am here with your fifth and seventh uncle to let you know that we have done what you have asked us to do. The 2% share that you promised us before, are you going to honor it now?” asked fourth grandfather.
Ruan Guosheng laughed. “Fourth uncle, I remember what I said was that when you accomplish the task, I will give you the shares. But right now, Ling Tianya seems to be still at the Ruan mansion, and Lijia did not get into the household successfully. Would you consider it a success?”
The three old men’s faces sagged. They knew Ruan Guosheng would say this.
Fourth grandfather furrowed his brows. “We did exactly what you told us to do. Who knew that Ling Tianya was so smart? She knew everything in advance and set up a trap for us to jump in. Can you blame us for that?”
Ruan Guosheng still kept up his smile. “Of course, I can’t blame you three uncles.”
“That’s it,” Fourth grandfather said urgently, “In order to help you, we offended Ruan Zeyan today. And you said that we are not to blame for the outcome of the matter. So just give us the shares, and we’ll call the deal done!”
