Chapter 1788 - 406: A Fortune Can’t Buy Discretion (Part 1)
Yun Ya smiled and said, "Is Aunt not here? Why haven’t I seen her?"
He remembered that she was living with the Zhuang Family before; she shouldn’t have missed the matriarch’s birthday banquet, yet indeed he hadn’t seen her today.
"Aunt has returned to Hong Kong. She originally planned to stay until after Grandma’s birthday, but it seems something happened at home, and she had to rush back to handle it. Aunt’s life really is too hard. If you follow entertainment news often, you should guess why Aunt had to go back."
Yun Ya slightly raised his eyebrow; it seemed that Ruan Wencheng was caught up in yet another scandal.
Thinking of Zhuang Fanxing’s stunning presence, he felt pity for her; such a woman, truly a shame.
But outsiders, after all, are merely spectators; only those involved know the taste of it.
During his free time, Yun Ya opened his phone and switched to the entertainment section, seeing the headline in bold red letters.
Ruan’s Scandal Exposed: Father and Son Sharing the Same Woman?
The headline aroused ordinary people’s curiosity completely.
Yun Ya clicked in, only then understanding the whole story.
Zhu Weier is Ruan Songxi’s rumored girlfriend, they’ve been seen on dates by the media multiple times, everyone already knew that. But yesterday at dawn, Zhu Weier revealed on Weibo, that she’s pregnant with Ruan Wencheng’s child, proclaiming she and Ruan Wencheng are the true love, begging on Weibo for Ruan Songxi and Zhuang Fanxing to let her go, to fulfill her and Ruan Wencheng. Once this news was exposed, it shocked the entire nation.
It’s absolutely the biggest scandal among the elites; Zhu Weier, a young model turned star, instantly became famous across the country and abroad. The Ruan father and son, as Hong Kong’s richest man’s rulers and heirs, have always been the focus of external attention. Now, they both fell into the scandal, gossiping crowds gleefully stood on moral high ground, scolding the father and son, criticizing Ruan Songxi for blocking true love, scolding Ruan Wencheng for shamelessly coveting even his son’s woman... How chaotic must it be inside the wealthy family?
There’s even advice for Zhuang Fanxing to fulfill the true love for the two, with true love above all else, even a first wife should pave the way for a mistress.
But the general public is clear-eyed; no matter how much the paid commenters attempt to steer the narrative, they can’t hide Ruan Wencheng being the peerless scoundrel and Zhu Weier the embodiment of a cunning, cruel green tea girl, instead sympathizing with Ruan Songxi and Zhuang Fanxing.
To have such a husband/father, it’s simply a disaster.
Just when all the national media swarmed up, the person involved, Zhu Weier, vanished into thin air; reporters couldn’t find her at all, so they could only gather at the Ruan Group’s entrance, waiting to interview the two involved. There were even people day and night waiting outside the Ruan Family villa. When Zhuang Fanxing returned from Capital City, she was blocked by reporters at the airport, only managing to get away with a large deployment of bodyguards.
Reporters, fearing nothing less than chaos, described in their reports that Zhuang Fanxing appeared haggard, painting the image of a dejected woman vividly, as if only such an image could satisfy the public’s psychology. You’ve fame, married into a wealthy family; how come all the good things in the world happen to you? Surely you’re living poorly inside the wealthy family, enduring daily torment, your husband philandering, even your son is troubling; see, in the end, heaven is fair...
As if only this could balance the mindset of those who envy and resent.
Reporters understood this deeply, thus although the woman in the photo had exquisite makeup, a gentle smile, appearing calm, seemingly just back from a trip rather than rushing to quell scandals caused by her husband and son’s meddling with a woman.
How ridiculous.
Yun Ya despised these reporters the most; they could paint white as black. Zhuang Fanxing couldn’t care less, that’s wrong; only appearing haggard and pitiful can win the public’s sympathy. See, even marrying into a wealthy family, so what? Even with wealth and prosperity, as a woman, you’re just a loser.
The Zhuang Fanxing he knew would never be this superficial, sad and dejected over Ruan Wencheng? That’s utterly sullying Zhuang Fanxing.
Though the reporters depicted vividly and the public discussed fervently, the real situation, only those involved knew.
The Ruan Family, as Hong Kong’s richest clan, with profound heritage, many members, not to mention Ruan Songxi having two illegitimate younger brothers— the internal struggle and danger are no less than a throne succession fight. Once interest is involved, there will never be a utopia.
It seems this matter might indeed be a result of internal strife within the Ruan Family.
If one were to analyze who has the most motive, it’d be looking at who benefits the most. The Ruan Group, as a publicly-traded company, the moves of Ruan’s executives directly affect stock trends. Then, naturally, shareholders, for their own interests, would unite to overthrow Ruan Wencheng; the one most likely to ascend, of course, is the rightful heir, Ruan Songxi.
