Chapter 613 As long as you're alive
Although Miss Yuan was all bared and claws, she still couldn't gain any advantage over a man, especially when facing his own brother. In the end, she had no choice but to use her ultimate summoning technique:

"Dad, look at him!"

The next second, Yuan Hua was kicked to the stairwell by Old Yuan: "Go away, how old are you? Still bullying your sister. If you have nothing to do, go upstairs and stay there. I hate looking at you. Get out of here in a couple of days and don't come back before the end of the year!"

Yuan Hua, who had been kicked, chuckled awkwardly, then glared at Miss Yuan before turning back to lie down on the recliner by the window on the first floor instead of going upstairs.

As for going upstairs, let's forget about it. Although he's dating now, he still feels a different way when he sees Liu Ruyan again.

Upon seeing this, Old Yuan couldn't help but sigh. He had said those words on purpose, mainly to remind his son, "You better find your girlfriend properly, take her to another city in a couple of days, and don't come back before the New Year."

He even considered sending his son upstairs, because he was afraid that something might happen to his son, who had finally settled down to date and was on the verge of success.

If the two young people hadn't been in contact and hadn't finalized their relationship, he would have kicked his son out long ago. When Liu Ruyan came over today, Old Yuan's heart skipped a beat, fearing that his son might do something reckless.

Then, Mr. Yuan and Ms. Jiang exchanged a glance and understood each other's meaning. It seemed that this son could not be kept. They should try to kick him out of the house in the next couple of days and send him to another city with his girlfriend. Maybe when he came back at the end of the year, she would be pregnant. Once the deed was done, everything would be fine.

As for Liu Ruyan, she's alright. After all, she has a boyfriend now, and she has enough reasons. What your family thinks is your business, and has nothing to do with me.

"Mom, Mom, hurry up and have the nanny cook! I want to have a big lunch, including my favorite sweet fermented rice balls!" As soon as she got back, Miss Yuan started preparing for lunch.

There was no other way. She hadn't eaten enough for breakfast, and so much time had passed. Although it wasn't noon yet, cooking still took time. If she cooked now, it would be perfect for lunch.

"You, you, you haven't been back for so long! And look at you, you've been out having fun every day, and as soon as you come back, you're clamoring for food. I really owe you something," Ms. Jiang said, pinching her daughter's cheek with a helpless expression.

Miss Yuan hasn't been back for a while, especially after she came to the university town. She goes home even less often, making it seem like she's gone to work in another city, even though they live in the same city.

"Hehe, I'm busy making money, Mom. Wait until I make a lot of money, and I'll definitely buy you a big villa, take you on trips, and let you eat delicious food," Miss Yuan said with a grin, showing her little tiger teeth.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Jiang rolled her eyes at him: "Why would I need you? I'm living in this villa even without you, aren't I?"
Also, since you graduated, I haven't spent a single penny of your money. Even so, I still have to regularly give you some!

Given her family's circumstances, Miss Yuan's words were like a joke. Although Miss Yuan's monthly income was not small, whether it was her salary from Liu Ruyan's company or her commission from Chuanmei Studio, her income was definitely high. However, for her family, it was just a drop in the ocean, and no one had ever coveted it.

If Miss Yuan had any ambition, she would have taken over the family business like Liu Ruyan, and her income would have increased many times over long ago.

"No need, no need. I make several hundred thousand a month now. Here, I'll transfer some to you in a bit, so you can spend your daughter's money!" Miss Yuan said.

Just kidding, she now earns hundreds of thousands a month just from various commissions, and the most important thing is that she earns money while having fun.

If she wanted to, she could make millions a month just by relying on her family connections to do business. And that would be a minimum. However, Miss Yuan has never had much motivation to make money.

"Forget it, forget it. You transfer some money to me today, and tomorrow you'll cry poor again and ask for double the amount back. You're superfluous. I've already taken advantage of you more than once. Forget it. Go tell Auntie what you want to eat." Ms. Jiang quickly took two steps back.

She and Lao Yuan didn't have high expectations for their daughter; they just wanted her to be healthy. As for her going out to work and earn money, it was simply to give her something to do, so she wouldn't stay at home all day and night.

Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan and Comrade Yuan were having tea on the sofa. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Comrade Yuan inquired about Liu Ruyan's relationship with Lin Mo, speaking very loudly so his son could hear.

Although Liu Ruyan saw through it, she pretended not to understand and then told the truth.

For example, the two have a very good relationship, and they subtly hinted that they are already living together, and even planned to visit her home during the Lunar New Year.

Yuan Hua was reclining on the chair by the window, seemingly playing on his phone, but he was actually feeling quite uneasy.

When he came back last time, Liu Ruyan was still single, and he wanted to try harder. But this time, you tell her that they've moved in together at lightning speed?

This gave Yuan Hua a sense of powerlessness, as if the goddess he had admired for years had been taken by someone in just a few days. It would be impossible for him not to feel any emotional turmoil.

Just then, Yuan Hua, who was lying on the recliner, suddenly saw a small head stick out from behind him, and then uttered a devilish whisper: "Snow~ Flowers are falling~ The north wind is howling~"

Yuan Hua:
Seeing this, he rolled over, not wanting to see his own sister's face, but Miss Yuan clearly didn't want to miss this good opportunity to kick him while he was down: "Hey? Brother, look at me, listen to how well I sing, I shouldn't be off-key, right?"

Do you think I can participate in The Voice of China with this song and win the championship?

Yuan Hua: w(Д)w
"I won't stoop to your level, Mom and Dad. I'm going out now, I won't be back for lunch!"

After saying that, Yuan Hua ran to the garage without looking back, and soon a red Ferrari roared out the door.

Seeing this, Miss Yuan sneered: "Serves you right for kicking my butt!"

At this, Liu Ruyan could no longer hold back and covered her mouth to chuckle.

Old Yuan was a little embarrassed, but he still laughed and said, "Well, that's how they are. You've made a fool of yourself, Ruyan. You know the main reason. Luckily, you have a boyfriend now. Since that's the case, it's better to let this brat give up on his idea sooner rather than later!"

"It's alright, Uncle Yuan, I understand. It's just that your family atmosphere is so nice and lively, unlike my family, where I'm just an only child. When I get married in the future, I'll have to have at least two children, otherwise I'll be too lonely," Liu Ruyan said with a hint of envy.

Although she had no feelings for Yuan Hua and often bickered with Miss Yuan, she was still quite envious of the two siblings.

With two people of these personalities, they certainly wouldn't be bored at home, which is in stark contrast to her being an only child.

Although she is an only child and has enjoyed her parents' love all the time, she sometimes thinks that it would be nice to have a second child, whether it's a younger brother or sister, as it would make the family more interesting.

So ever since she got together with Lin Mo, she secretly thought that she must have two babies in the future, preferably twins, so that she wouldn't suffer twice.

Given their family circumstances, the more children the better, because having several babies won't affect their quality of life in the future.

After all, a postpartum nanny can be hired to help take care of the child from birth, so the adults don't have to put in much effort. Besides, both her mother and Lin Mo's mother are not old and young, so taking care of a child is easy for them.
"That's true, it's better to have more kids at home, it's more lively," Comrade Yuan said with a smile.

The better the relationship between Liu Ruyan and Lin Mo, the happier he was, because only in this way could he hold his grandson sooner.

"By the way, Uncle Yuan, I'm sorry to have troubled you to participate this time. I also wanted to ask about the progress on your end."

After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Ruyan got down to business.

"I knew you came here to ask about this. What do you mean by 'spending money'? We're allies, in the same boat. If you're involved, I have to lend a hand!"
Although our family didn't publicly announce it, we had a lot of overlapping business with Qin Zhenhong's family, so we reaped quite a bit of benefits.

Besides, his family is struggling to make ends meet right now, and his business partners are eager to work with him. I not only didn't spend more money, but I also lowered the price compared to the market price and made a small profit. It wasn't really a waste of money.

The current situation is that I'm taking advantage of their upstream and downstream partners as much as I can, and introducing the ones I can't to others. I've pretty much broken them down. Even if the Qin family resumes production now, they won't have an easy time in the short term, since we've already signed contracts with them.

Moreover, I heard that their business is starting to experience financial difficulties, and several partners are preparing to sue them for breach of contract penalties.

I'll have my secretary send you a copy of the specific details later; you can take a look yourself.

Of course, I think your dad probably told you that the situation here won't be resolved in just a few days. After all, even a broken ship has three thousand nails.

However, once his network of connections disappears or is severely damaged, it will be time for us to close the net.

I made some inquiries, and it seems this is a big matter. It will take some time, but not too long. There should be a result before the end of the year.

After all, at the end of the year, employee salaries and project final payments need to be settled, and most importantly…

As he spoke, Comrade Yuan pushed his teacup forward and then gently put a lid on it: "The investigation on the other side should also be concluded. Without the last bit of support, the last hope of the Qin family will be gone, and they will naturally be eliminated."

but"

"But what?" Liu Ruyan asked curiously.

In response, Comrade Yuan chuckled and shook his head: "It's nothing serious. It's just that the guy surnamed Qin might not be able to hold out for long. He himself has realized that his situation is not good, and he might cause some trouble."

You have to understand that their family owns quite a few businesses. If they really go bankrupt, many people will lose their jobs, and the higher-ups will also have concerns. So this matter needs to be handled slowly.

All you need to know is this, but don't worry, your dad and I will discuss and resolve it later.

Liu Ruyan nodded; she naturally understood some of the intricacies involved.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan leaned over and asked, "Wait a minute, you already know?"

"Otherwise, do you think you can hide something this big from me?" Liu Ruyan turned her head and smiled.

Miss Yuan took a deep breath: "When did Mozi tell you this, and why are you so calm? It shouldn't be like this."

"Tell me? He didn't tell me. As for calm," Liu Ruyan said, grinning, "of course he's already vented!"

Miss Yuan:
"Wait a minute, is this a legitimate way of venting?"

Liu Ruyan: "Guess!"

Miss Yuan rolled her eyes at him upon hearing this. What a clever double entendre! Then she looked at her father, who just pursed his lips and said, "Who told you not to come back these past few days? You're out of touch!"
Looking at Liu Ruyan, who could discuss countermeasures with him, and then at his two children, Comrade Yuan couldn't help but sigh. The difference between people is indeed greater than the difference between people and pigs.

You should know that Yuan Hua is actually older than Liu Ruyan, but look what happened? He still can't stand on his own.
Thinking of this, Old Yuan was even more eager for his son to get married as soon as possible. While his son was still in good health, he might be able to train the third generation ahead of time. As for the two second-generation children, as long as they were alive, that was enough!
