The Domineering CEO Vs. The Arrogant CEO - Chapter 10

Ruyi was heartbroken from how she was treated in that house. No on would ever imagine what a young teen like her had to experience, the loss of her parents, her uncertain unconscious brother, her faraway paternal grandparents who couldn’t come, and especially how greed and ingenuity was shown by her maternal relatives.

She was relieved and happy to know that their lawyer was actually their father’s brother from another woman, though he feels bad for the children, he had his head together and showed that he was strong to rely on. Ruyi never stepped into that place ever again.

During those days, Ruyi stayed beside her brother all the time. To comfort herself, she reads stories to her brother, sing to him or even just talking with him in his dormant state. Seeing as she, they still have together and their uncle.

One day, there were two elders who were visiting Chen Rushen by the time Ruyi arrived. Alarmed at the strangers inside the room she quickly ran to her brother’s side in a protective stance. She saw a familiar face on the old man. He was kind of similar to someone.

“Who are you?” Ruyi blocked the two from her brother.

“Child, don’t be afraid” said the elder woman. she tried to take a step forward when Ruyi took a step back and shouted.

The ruckus of course alarmed the hospital, she was getting more berserk that the old couple had to back off and ask for help. Jackson entered, while the two were waiting outside. They were heartbroken to see the state of their granddaughter.

“Shh, Ruyi, uncle is here… Nobody is going to hurt you or little Shen, okay?” Jackson was rubbing the back of Ruyi while making sure she feels less vigilant.

“U-uncle… wh-who are t-they?” Ruyi was sniffling after calming down. “Why would they come to little Shen? What do they want?” Ruyi was in distraught as she remembered how her maternal relatives was trying to take her as if she was commodity.

“Ruyi… they are my father and auntie, your father’s parents and your grandparents.” Jackson calmly explained who the couple was and why they were there, nor why they weren’t present on her parents’ funeral.

After hearing her Uncle’s explanation, she was embarrassed and afraid of the reactions of the couple from her behavior towards them.She knew that she had somehow formed a defensive wall against people who aren’t close to her, may it be relatives or friends.

“Do you want them to come inside and talk?” Jackson inquired Ruyi.

“Sure, uncle…Let.. let me do it” Ruyi shyly said, the walked towards the door and opened it. “Granny? Grandpa?” shes said softly.

Although it was soft, both elders heard what she called them. Stelly Chen immediately hugged her granddaughter in tears.

“Ohhh, dearie… I’m so sorry for scaring you! It must have been scary being alone?” Stelly was in tears thinking of the events that happened to her granddaughter. Then big arms surrounded them and engulfed them in a hug.

“I’m so sorry we are late dear child, let grandpa and grandma help you and Shen’er okay?” The old man said while smiling and keeping his tears from falling.
