“Mom, there’s still no progress with Good. The Katie family has also arrived in China, and I suspect they have the same goal as us,” Ruan Bin said in a low voice.

Clarice frowned. She hadn’t expected the person in charge of Good to refuse even a meeting. How could they discuss cooperation? If the Katie family succeeded first, they would lose their advantage in this business war.

Ruan Meng recalled the manager of Good Beauty Salon’s words that day and pursed her lips. Could it be that she would have to ask Gu Yang for help?

Ruan Meng was reluctant. Although her old score with Gu Yang was settled, she had previously made things difficult for him. Now, she couldn’t bring herself to ingratiate herself with him.

Ruan Zhiying noticed Kloss’s distress and took his hand. “Kloss, don’t worry. We’ll find a way.”

Ruan Meng gritted her teeth. Fine. If Gu Yang could humble himself and apologize to her, then she could endure the humiliation and please him.

With a resolute expression, Ruan Meng went to find Ruan Chu.

Ruan Chu was familiar with Gu Yang, so she definitely knew her.

Not long after, the butler came to call Ruan Zhiying. “Master, the old master wants to talk to you in the study.”

Ruan Zhiying had been expecting this, so he finally heaved a sigh of relief. Cross gave him a supportive nod.

In the study, the old man’s table was covered with rice paper. He was practicing calligraphy with a Lang Hao brush in his hand.

“Dad,” Ruan Zhiying said, lowering his head and standing in front of him.

Old Master Ruan looked up. “Tell me, what exactly happened?”

Old Master Ruan was a traditional Chinese man. Initially, he had not approved of Ruan Zhiying marrying a foreigner.

Not to mention, he had decided to settle down and develop his career overseas.

However, since he already had grandchildren, Old Master Ruan had come to accept it. He had always thought Ruan Zhiying was developing overseas out of anger, wanting to prove himself through hard work, much like Gu Zhaoming had done.

After staying in the old residence for some time, Old Master Ruan began to notice some clues. Eventually, he realized that his unfilial son had been living off a woman all these years.

“The doctor said my teeth are bad…” Ruan Zhiying said calmly.

Old Master Ruan’s hand trembled, causing the ink to spread on the paper.

“Oh, so you’re quite something. You wanted to live off a woman, so you hooked up with the eldest daughter of the Bess family in Continent M.”

Ruan Zhiying looked at Old Master Ruan in surprise. “Dad, you actually know about this?”

He hadn’t finished the second half of his sentence.

Old Master Ruan laughed coldly. Who did they think they were fooling? He had been keeping up with current affairs all year round.

“Don’t change the topic,” Old Master Ruan said. “What happened between you and Kloss Bass back then? Did she force you or imprison you?”

The Bess family was a mafia family in Continent M. They were not exactly righteous, but they were one of the top aristocratic families in Continent M and had ties with Spanish nobility.

His son might not have many redeeming qualities, but he did look presentable.

“Dad, don’t blame Kloss. I did it willingly,” Ruan Zhiying said quickly.

“So she did force you to stay in Continent M?” Old Master Ruan pressed, curious.

Ruan Zhiying was stunned. For a moment, he thought his father just wanted to watch the drama unfold. It seemed like an illusion that his father was genuinely concerned about him.

Ruan Zhiying felt a little embarrassed as he explained to his father. “Actually, I can’t say that she forced me. After all, she was already pregnant at that time. I had to stay and take responsibility for her…”

The story was quite old-fashioned. He had just arrived in Continent M to start his career when he accidentally got involved in the internal strife between two powerful families.
