The Domineering CEO Vs. The Arrogant CEO - Chapter 9

Several thoughts lingered in Ruyi’s mind. The people who she thought was her family, was never a family to her. The reality that was slapped to her face at such a delicate age.

———————————————————–

3 years ago…

The day after the Chen Couple’s funeral, several relatives were present bickering and arguing on who will take the left behind Ruyi.

“I’ll take in Yi’er, I’ll adopt her if needed. Oh, Yi’er such a poor child don’t worry aunt is gonna take you in okay? ” Beneath those words were greed and scorn, for her ultimate goal was to get the inheritance of the only heiress of her cousin’s company.

“No, I’ll take in the brat!!! She will be trained under me, whoever tries to take in Yi’er will be just wolves devouring what is left of Yi’er”

“Ha, the pot calling the kettle black!!!! You just want Yi’er’s assets right? Because you were just kicked out of the board directors right? Acting all high and mighty when you’re just a beggar!!! ”

The chaos continued to intensify ranging from taking in the child to eventually just blatantly saying to take the inheritance in front of the said child. However, if you look at the child, the center of the passing mayhem, was just in a cold corner, unmoving, emotionless as if the topic was just nothing.

“Enough!!!! Let the brat choose who she wants!!!! ” Wen Verdan, the child’s maternal grandfather suddenly yelled. He took a look at the child and commanded”Ruyi come this instant!!! ”

The child was unresponsive to the elder’s call, it took a slap from her grandfather to wake her in her empty trance. “Stupid brat, when I tell you to come, come immediately!!!! Making this old bones work for you? Ha! Pick who’ll you go with, don’t even bother choosing me I won’t take you in”

Ruyi felt hurt, not only from the physical pain she felt from the slap, but from the words of the man who even though was cold to her, would never hurt her when her parents were alive. She was about to pick when the door suddenly opened. It was the lawyer her father was always with when he goes to work. Without stopping she went to the lawyer and held him, that simple movement that say ‘I’ll be with him’ caused rage among her elders.

“Ruyi!!! What are you doing?? Come to uncle, not to a stranger… We’ll take care of you!! ”

“Ruyi don’t listen to this bastard, come to aunt quickly. You’ll be living with your cousins as your sisters, okay”

Several more appealed to Ruyi, but she just went behind to hide the lawyer’s back, having enough of the charade, one of the uncles tried to pull Rui away, causing the child to cry… The tears which was never seen during when her parent’s were being buried.

“Enough of you shenanigans !!!! I told you whoever that brat pick will be her guardian. Mr. Yin please take the child now” the old man immediately shut down any refusals.

The man confused took a look a the lady behind him and asked, “Do you really want to be with this uncle? ” he said with such sincerity that Ruyi quickly nodded her head and the rest is history… She was taken in, or rather she took in her uncle trained and took over the company.
