440: The Enormous Family

The Enormous Family

Ruan Zeyan's car slowly pulled into the Ruan family garden. Ruan Zeyan grabbed Ling Tianya's hand. "When we go inside in a bit, you only need to greet my grandmother and my parents. As for the other people, simply ignore them."2

Ling Tianya nodded. There were many members in the Ruan family. Just from Ruan Zeyan's grandfather's side, there were already two households. Apart from Madame Ruan and Ruan Zeyan's father and the mistress, there were the brothers Ruan Guosheng and Ruan Guofu. 

Not only that, Ruan Zeyan's grandfather also had seven siblings. Excluding those that were deceased, there were still three alive. They consisted of: Fourth Grandfather, Fifth Grandfather, and Seventh Grandfather. These three grandfathers all had high moral standings and a good reputation within the family. However, no matter how good of a reputation they had, they still had to rely on Ruan Zeyan in order to maintain their wealthy lifestyle. Therefore, in front of Ruan Qishan and Ruan Zeyan, they were respectful. 

Ruan Zeyan's grandfather's seven siblings each also had many offsprings. Their children were all similar in age to Ruan Zeyan, and many of them already had children with children.

Therefore, the sheer size of the Ruan family was obvious to Ling Tianya even if her eyes were closed.

In comparison to the luxuriant members of the family, Ruan Zeyan's family was a lot simpler. Madame Ruan, after giving birth to Ruan Qishan, was infertile. Therefore, he was an only child.

It was the same with Wang Yazhi. After struggling to give birth to Ruan Zeyan, she was also infertile.

Therefore, when Ruan Zeyan assumed the position as the highest decision maker, his every movement became the center of attention of all the members of the family, and this included the woman in his life.

Seeing everyone else with so many children and grandchildren, yet Ruan Zeyan not even having a woman to warm his bed, made Ruan Qishan and Wang Yazhi extremely nervous. They anticipated a grandchild and a successor.

It was necessary to be aware that Ruan Zeyan's child would not be any ordinary child. The child would most likely be the future successor of Yuan Teng.

Originally, everyone thought that because Ruan Zeyan did not seek women, nor did he marry, they assumed that either there was something wrong with his body or there was something wrong with his sexual preferences.

Simultaneously, Ruan Zeyan remaining unmarried was a good thing for the relatives of the Ruan family and caused many members to seek Ruan Zeyan's position.

They thought, if Ruan Qishan is unable to obtain an heir from Ruan Zeyan, then in the future, when Ruan Zeyan is old, wouldn't the position of the successor of Yuan Teng be passed onto one of the relatives?

However, it was at this moment that Ruan Zeyan suddenly got married. Not only was his marriage partner not Guan Meiyi, it was an unknown small director. 

Afterwards, he spoiled her relentlessly. For the sake of this small director, Ruan Zeyan beat up Ruan Guofu's adopted daughter, Ruan Lijia, causing Ruan Guofu to lose face by prohibiting Ruan Lijia from entering Yuan Teng Tower.

It should be known that Ruan Lijia was Ruan Guofu's beloved daughter. Although she was related to Ruan Guofu through blood, she was still arrogant and despotic, spoiled by the members of the family. However, upon meeting the small director, she was still forced to back down.

Moreover, if they were to appear together in public, nothing could come between them.

What shocked them the most, however, was that this small director was able to easily wriggle into the hearts of Madame Ruan and Ruan Qishan. 

Therefore, upon hearing that Ruan Zeyan was bringing home his pampered wife, all of the more respectable elders and those of the same generation gathered before the Ruan residence, waiting for the arrival of the master of the house.
