Chapter 952: Despicable Thoughts (1)

Wang Manpeng’s eyes grew fierce as he sank into recollections of extremely painful memories.

Ling Tianya could clearly see that his whole body trembled as he spoke. She had a different opinion of the matters that Wang Manpeng was talking about. In the first place, she didn’t think that Ruan Qishan would really be as despicable as Wang Manpeng had said. If he decided not to conduct business with Wang Manpeng’s father, he must have had his reasons. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have entered into business with Wang Manpeng’s father in the first place. After all, he had the whole Ruan family to help him to succeed. He didn’t need to start something himself.

While Ling Tianya thinking, Wang Manpeng opened his mouth and continued, “Do you know how I felt as I read the blood-stained letter that my mother left behind? My mother said that she was very afraid of the Ruan family’s influence. She had nowhere to turn, and no one took any notice of her. Some people even threatened her. My mother was a woman like Wang Yazhi, pampered and spoiled by my father. She didn’t have the strength to stand on her own. Therefore, while standing on the same spot, at the same window, my mother jumped, just like that.”

“This is the truth, and I only knew of it ten years too late. However, the most ironic thing is that I had already started thinking of the Ruan family as my own family by then. Although I knew that I wasn’t a member of the Ruan family, I saw Ruan Qishan as my own father and Ruan Zeyan as my brother. However, I was just Ruan Zeyan’s shadow, following behind him every day. Wherever he went, I had to go too.”

Yet, reality cruelly told me that Ruan Qishan was the culprit behind my father’s death, and if it wasn’t for Ruan Qishan, my father wouldn’t have jumped, nor would my mother! Then, Mandy and I would have had a different life. She wouldn’t have had to live carefully relying on the Ruan family, and I wouldn’t have had to be Ruan Zeyan’s shadow!”

Wang Manpeng smiled sadly. “Even more ironic is that at that point, Ruan Zeyan suddenly told me one day that Ruan Qishan knew about his relationship with you and was investigating you. Ruan Zeyan used all means available to him to protect you from being discovered by Ruan Qishan. However, Ruan Qishan was the head of the house while Ruan Zeyan was the successor, so it was futile no matter how hard he tried to protect you. Unless he severed ties with the clan, there was no way he could be with you.”

“I thought that Ruan Zeyan would pick the clan, just as Ruan Qishan gave my father up to succeed in the family back then. After all, the Ruan family is such a huge clan, how could he bear to give it up? Yet, Ruan Zeyan didn’t act as I expected. He really started severing ties with his family and said that he wanted to go overseas and start something there. He wanted to create his own empire that could become a shield for you in the future. Listen to that, what a childish and moving story.”

Although Ling Tianya already knew that Ruan Zeyan had broken off ties with the clan for her, when these words came from Wang Manpeng, her heart still swayed and grew heavy.

Looking at Ling Tianya’s pained expression, Wang Manpeng felt a little hurt. “Does your heart ache? Aching for the fact that Ruan Zeyan actually did such a silly thing for you back in the day? Then, why won’t you feel bad for me? Do you know how I felt when Ruan Zeyan told me that he wanted to break off ties with the clan to give you a future? If it wasn’t for Ruan Qishan’s betrayal, my father wouldn’t have died. If my father hadn’t died, then I wouldn’t have become Ruan Zeyan’s shadow. If I wasn’t Ruan Zeyan’s shadow, I could have chased you openly and perhaps everything would have been different.”
