He didn't say much to them. After all, he was the one in charge now. There was no need for him to argue with them.
Chang Zhiyuan only said to Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen, "I'll see you off."
Mo Yuxin also didn't want to stay here, so she brought Chang Jingwan with her.
She could still hear Old Madam Chang shouting angrily behind her, "Ruan Danchen, leave! Don't regret it! You're so unfilial, if people find out, they'll give you a hard time. "
At the door, Chang Zhiyuan said to Qi Chenglin, "You don't have to listen to what the old lady said just now. Jia Nan doesn't have to go back. Otherwise, he will cause trouble for You Xuan. "
Ruan Danchen was moved when she heard this. Chang Zhiyuan was obviously biased towards them, and not even ten bulls could pull him back.
"As for the matter of our collaboration, you just need to do your job. You don't need to give Chang He any special treatment. I knew that Chang He didn't meet Qi Lin's requirements in many of his businesses. There was no reason for Qi Lin to suffer for Chang He's sake. In any case, even if you end up giving Chang He some benefits, they won't remember it. They'll just treat it as something that should be done. "
Old Madam Chang and Liu Xiangwen were the typical type of people who thought that the Qi family was weak and reasonable. They would definitely think that the Qi family was rich, so it was okay for them to suffer some losses. They could earn it back from other places. It was their duty to help them. If they didn't help them, they would be cruel and unscrupulous.
Qi Chenglin nodded and said nothing.
After sending them off, Chang Zhiyuan didn't go back. He directly left with Mo Yuxin and Chang Jingwan.
His heart was bitterly disappointed. In the past, Old Madam Chang was extremely biased, and his wife and daughter had suffered a lot. However, with her status, there was nothing she could do.
But now, Old Madam Chang was becoming more and more unseemly. On one hand, she was despising Ruan Danchen, but on the other hand, she was thinking about the benefits. Yet, she had such a matter-of-fact attitude.
In the past, he could endure it, but now, he definitely couldn't let Ruan Danchen suffer anymore.
…
Liu Xiangwen watched from the window as they left, not intending to return. She turned to Granny Chang and cried, "Mom, look at Big Brother's attitude! He practically treats Chang He as his own now! Usually, when he was in the company, he never let Zhixing participate in big or small things. Zhixing was just an idler in the company. Everyone in the company, even the most ordinary employee, looked down on Zhixing. I heard that when the company's new interns introduced the company's situation to the older employees, they all said that there's no need to listen to the most professional words. "
"Don't talk nonsense!" Chang Zhixing reprimanded.
He didn't understand why Liu Xiangwen wanted the world to be in chaos and wanted to make life difficult for Chang Zhiyuan. Chang Zhiyuan hadn't done anything wrong to her.
If you don't let me speak, who's going to make the decision for you? You have to respect your big brother, but I also feel sorry for you! "Liu Xiangwen said with tears in her eyes.
"Don't interrupt, Xiangwen, you say it!" When Old Lady Chang heard that her youngest son was wronged, she asked Liu Xiangwen to say it quickly.
"Mom, Zhixing's words don't matter at all in the company. Even in the usual meetings, Eldest Brother pretends to let him attend, but he doesn't ask for his opinion at all. Even if he says something, Eldest Brother never accepts it. Big Brother deliberately gave Zhixing a position with no real power. It seemed to be a high position, but it was useless. We're under your protection now, so Eldest Brother can't do anything. Arranging Zhixing to work in the company is just for show. But at least for now, Big Brother can still tolerate Zhixing. Once you … you … I'm afraid big brother won't be able to tolerate you anymore! "Liu Xiangwen said with tears in her eyes.
"Liu Xiangwen, have you said enough? Don't talk nonsense to me. When did you learn to play your part? " Chang Zhixing said angrily, "I know how capable I am. I can't come up with those ideas, which will harm the company for no reason. The company's decisions are all made by Eldest Brother, and I have no objection. “
"If you don't try, how do you know you can't do it?" Liu Xiangwen quickly retorted.
"That's right!" Old Lady Chang said, "You've been smart since you were a child. Can't you do this if your eldest brother can do it?"
Chang Zhixing was forced by his mother and wife to say, "Mom, anyway, don't tell Eldest Brother about this! Eldest Brother manages the company very well. If I'm still not satisfied, Eldest Brother will be disappointed. "
"And you!" Chang Zhixing looked at Liu Xiangwen sternly, "Don't think about this kind of thing all day. You married me because I'm incompetent. You're not reconciled to it, are you? If you think I'm incompetent, you can find someone else. Don't pick on Eldest Brother all day! "
"What are you talking about? Chang Zhixing, do you still have a conscience? I'm doing this for you. If I didn't care about you, I wouldn't care about this! How can you make me sound so vicious! "Liu Xiangwen said while crying.
"Enough." Old Lady Chang was annoyed and said, "Zhixing, Xiangwen is doing this for your own good. You're indeed no worse than your eldest brother. Even if you don't care about the company, your eldest brother should at least give you half of the power. As your eldest brother, how can you be so intolerant that you even have to plot against your own younger brother? "
Chang Zhixing could only sigh when he heard that. "Anyway, don't say such things in the future."
Old Lady Chang did not say anything, but the glint in her eyes was obvious.
…
Qi Chenglin brought Ruan Danchen and the little fellow back to the famous garden. Ruan Danchen seemed to be really unaffected by Old Lady Chang's words.
He went to the study and called Jiang Yuan. "Find Huang Pinggui and Wang Lixia and tell them that I have something to give them. Arrange a time for them and I'll meet them personally. "
…
Ruan Danchen thought that the matter was over. Old Lady Chang did not like her, so she would not provoke Old Lady Chang. She would not acknowledge her grandmother or anything like that. Since she could not make Old Lady Chang like her no matter what she did, there was no need to be so shameless.
She would not harm Old Lady Chang, but she would not be good to her either. She just knew that there was such a blood relative.
She could not afford to provoke her, so she could only hide from her.
However, when she went to work the next day, there happened to be a document to be sent, so Ruan Danchen took it in person.
She handed the document to Qi Chenglin and was about to leave when Qi Chenglin received a call from the old house. It was from Aunt Liu.
"Second Young Master, please come back. Old Lady Chang asked me to take a look at the phone call for you. Old Lady Chang came and said … What she said was a bit outrageous. Old Lady Chang asked you to come back and listen to it. But Second Young Mistress is pregnant now, so don't let her know. It will affect her health if she gets angry again. "Aunt Liu said.
Qi Chenglin frowned and said, "Got it."
After hanging up, Ruan Danchen asked, "Did something happen to the old house?"
"No, I'll go back to take a look." Qi Chenglin said, "You rest here."
"If not, why would you go back personally? I'll go with you." Ruan Danchen grabbed Qi Chenglin's arm. "If it wasn't something serious, Aunt Liu wouldn't call you at work and ask you to go back."
Qi Chenglin felt that Ruan Danchen would not be affected by Old Lady Chang. At least at the Chang family yesterday, Ruan Danchen did not take Old Lady Chang's words seriously.
So Qi Chenglin said, "Aunt Liu said that Old Lady Chang went over and said outrageous things. She asked me to go over and deal with it."
Qi Chenglin frowned slightly. "I know you don't care about her, but I don't want her words to make you angry. I can handle it myself."
"Even if I don't have the ability to deal with her, this is trouble because of me. How can I let you go over alone? I'll go with you. Don't worry, I don't care about what she says. Let her say whatever she wants. Because if she gets angry, she'll be the one suffering. Why should I give her face? "
Seeing that she really didn't care, Qi Chenglin nodded and went back to the old house with her.
…
When the two of them arrived at the old house, Aunt Liu was waiting at the entrance. When she saw Qi Chenglin holding Ruan Danchen's hand, she was so shocked that she blurted out, "Why is Second Young Mistress here too?"
Ruan Danchen knew that Aunt Liu was afraid that she would be angered by Old Lady Chang, so she was not angry at her words. She only smiled and said, "It's okay, I won't be affected by her. Besides, this matter concerns me. I really want to see what she's going to say. "
Aunt Liu was still worried, but she could only do so.
As they walked forward, they heard Ruan Danchen mumbling to Qi Chenglin, "If I had known, I would have asked Uncle to not acknowledge her. She's such a troublesome relative and she's even causing trouble for the family."
"I'll just treat it as watching a clown." Qi Chenglin chuckled nonchalantly.
He narrowed his eyes. He did not expect Old Lady Chang to come over so quickly. It seemed like he had to hurry up and meet Huang Pinggui and his wife.
Aunt Liu opened the door quietly and led them in. She did not tell Old Lady Chang, but deliberately let them listen.
In the end, they heard Old Lady Chang's voice coming from the living room. "Sister Qi, I really don't have a choice. I can't just watch as she harms your family without making a sound, can I? I really can't get over my conscience. No matter what, Danchen is our family's child. If something really happens to you, our family will not be able to absolve ourselves from the blame. I can't just not warn you despite knowing it and let her harm you. "
"Although she's my granddaughter and I want to do what's best for her, I can't go against my conscience." Ruan Danchen heard Old Lady Chang's sincere voice.
This was the first time she heard such sincere words coming out of Old Lady Chang's mouth.
"What are you saying? What you're saying is too outrageous. You can't blame me for not believing you. This is simply an alarmist. Besides, who would expose their granddaughter's shortcomings like this? As far as I know, she's been separated from you for 27 years. Now that you've finally reunited with her, why aren't you treating her well? Why are you spreading her bad news? "Old Lady Chang's voice sounded especially puzzled.
Old Lady Chang looked embarrassed. She covered her face and said, "Even if I dote on my granddaughter, I can't build it on other people's tragedies. Don't you think so? I've never liked to implicate others. Although it sounds a little unbelievable, I'd rather believe in such things. "
Old Lady Chang sighed at Old Lady Qi. "Besides, I have no choice but to believe what happened. When Danchen was born, her parents died together. Later on, she got together with her adoptive mother, Liu Ronghua. But as far as I know, Liu Ronghua's life has never been smooth. She's been in an endless cycle of marriage and divorce. She never found her true love. Later on, she finally got together with Shen Jialiang, but Shen Jialiang refused to marry her. In the end, after wasting all her youth, she was kicked out of the Shen family. Now, she simply disappeared and can't be found. My eldest son, Chang Zhiyuan, was originally doing well. His work, family, and life were all smooth. But ever since he recognized Danchen, he rolled down the hill. Fortunately, he woke up from his coma. But I think it's because he's not close enough to Danchen. If they were closer, I don't know if he would wake up or if he would suffer more serious injuries. "
"Everyone who has a relationship with her doesn't have a good ending. How can I not worry about this?" Old Lady Chang said sincerely. "Although the Qi family is big and has a deep foundation, it can't stop her from being so tough! It's lucky that you're fine now, but what if something happens? You and Old Sir are old, but Chenglin is still in his prime. Youxuan is so young. He won't be able to stand it. I can't just watch the Qi family be ruined because of my granddaughter, can I? "
Old Lady Qi gritted her teeth in anger. This Old Lady Chang was cursing their family!
"I also want her to be happy, but I can't let her harm you," Old Lady Chang said.
Old Lady Qi raised her eyebrows and asked with an ambiguous attitude, "Then what do you mean we should do?"
"It depends on you. Although she's my granddaughter, it's also your family's business. You still have to make your own decisions. But I've told you about this matter, so I can live up to my own conscience. If you don't listen to me and get into trouble, it's not my fault. It's not that I didn't remind you. In this way, I don't have to blame myself for not telling you and watching you get into trouble. I've done what I can. " Old Lady Chang seemed to think that Old Lady Qi had been persuaded, so she straightened her back and said with great confidence.
Old Lady Qi curled her lips. "If I let Chenglin divorce her, then she will no longer be a member of our Qi family. She will have to go back to the Chang family. What if she causes trouble for you? Don't let our family out of the sea of suffering, but your own family will be unlucky. "
Qi Chenglin clenched Ruan Danchen's hand and looked at her with his black eyes. He was quiet and calm, with the power to make her calm.
"Don't think too much." He mouthed, afraid that she would misunderstand.
Ruan Danchen smiled and shook her head, indicating that she would not misunderstand. She trusted the people of the Qi family. If she misunderstood the Qi family because of these words, she would have been doted on by the elders for so long. Let them know that it was time to be sad.
Qi Chenglin's lips curled up, feeling especially comfortable.
Ever since the two of them were together, other than those pretentious people who insisted on jumping around, he did not feel too upset. It was only when it came to the relationship between the two of them that she never made him upset. She never made trouble without reason and did not misunderstand him because of a small matter.
This made him like her even more. He wished that he could give her all the good things in the world, but he felt that he was giving too little now.
He even hoped that she would throw a tantrum with him and make things difficult for him.
Thinking of this, he could not help but smile warmly. However, Ruan Danchen was bewildered. She didn't know what was wrong with him. At this moment, she looked at him innocently, which made Qi Chenglin feel even better. Even Old Madam Chang's shameless words couldn't affect his mood.
At this moment, Old Lady Chang's voice sounded again. "To think that you can still think of our family at this time. Don't worry, I have already planned it out. This child has suffered all these years. Even if I recognize her, I will not mistreat her. I will buy her a house in a small southern city and let her live there. I will take care of her and let her live a carefree life. "
However, she could only stay in that small city and not return for the rest of her life.
Thinking of something, Old Lady Chang smiled proudly. "The Chang family also has a few competitors in the business world. In the future, we will pick one that is especially unpleasant to the eye and marry Danchen over. She will be considered to have contributed to the Chang family and will be considered as repaying us for taking care of her. Moreover, since she is a child of the Chang family, she should think of the family. "
Ruan Danchen was not angry at all when she heard this. In the past, she only thought that Old Lady Chang was a muddle-headed old lady who could not tell right from wrong. But now, she really felt that this old lady was sick in the head. Really sick.
Saying that she was born to be the bane of her family could be said to be Old Lady Chang's superstition. However, when she said that she wanted to marry her to the Chang family's competitor, it was obvious that she wanted to destroy her family. That was really laughable.
Did this Old Lady Chang really think that she could be the bane of her family?
That was why she was making this up.
Putting aside the fact that this matter was completely unbelievable, if Old Lady Chang was serious and really believed it … Yet, she wanted to make use of her and marry her to the competitor just so that the Chang family could benefit from it. How vicious was she?
That arrogant attitude of hers … Did she really think that she could control her? Did she think that she would have to do whatever the Chang family said?
Initially, she had thought that Old Lady Chang's words of arranging for her to go to a small city in the south was already brainless enough. Yet, she had not expected that there would be someone even more brainless behind it.
Ruan Danchen felt that she should not have thought about Old Lady Chang's lower limit.
Every time she thought that this was the limit, Old Lady Chang would always be able to adjust her lower limit at the right time.
Now that she was looking at Old Lady Chang as though she was crazy, Ruan Danchen really could not get angry.
Just as she turned to look at Qi Chenglin, asking him with her gaze if he wanted to head over right now, she suddenly heard the sound of a cup being smashed.
"Madam Chang!" Old Lady Chang raised her voice in anger. "Danchen is your biological granddaughter that you have not seen for 27 years. We all know that you have never liked her, and we don't care either. She does not need your liking. There are plenty of people who like her, and you are not one of them. However, there is no one like you who would go to his own granddaughter's in-laws to ruin her reputation and ruin her marriage! "
"This is not as simple as just saying bad things. You are practically cursing her and stabbing a nail into our hearts! Saying that she is a relative of yours? " Old Lady Chang even wanted to jinx Old Lady Chang to death first before saying anything else. However, she then spat in her heart. She was a Buddhist, so she could not be so vicious.
However, she could not suppress the rage in her chest as she pointed at Old Lady Chang. "Even though our family believes in Buddhism, we believe in the kindness in our hearts. We do not believe in such nonsense! Thankfully, our family does not believe in it. If we did, we would have chased Danchen out. Is this what you want? And then send her to a small city in the south? Marry her to your competitor? To think that you would dare to say something like that! I feel like my mouth is dirty just by repeating it! You can dislike her, but don't frame her like that! "
"You also claim that she is your granddaughter. Is this how you treat the only daughter left behind by your deceased daughter? For a person who is not related to you by blood, Chang Jingqiu, who has a vicious heart, you are going to ruin and frame your own family. Do you think that you are smart? Let me tell you, I have never seen such an ungrateful and stupid person like you in my life! "
"You … You … You …" Old Lady Chang looked at Old Lady Qi in disbelief. She did not expect that the person who was fine just a moment ago, and the expression on her face was very much in line with her expectations, would suddenly turn hostile and scold her so mercilessly.
"I have wanted to scold you for a long time, but I am not as thick-skinned as you. You purposely went to the door to ruin your own granddaughter. I did not purposely go to the door to scold you. Me purposely scolding you is already giving you face. Why should I give you face?" Old Lady Qi really vented all the anger that she had accumulated for a long time.
"You sure know how to talk. What do you mean by it is not your place to talk about our family's matters? You have said it many times before! At that time, you did not know Danchen's identity. Logically speaking, she had nothing to do with your family at that time, but every time you saw her, you had to 'educate' her. What right do you have to do that? At that time, you had nothing to do with her, so what right do you have to 'educate' her for us? No matter what Danchen did, it was our family's matter. What right did you have to meddle in it? "
