The three people in the room waited for Ruan Xiao on the bed to speak, but he remained silent, his calm demeanor making the atmosphere uneasy.
After a while, he spoke slowly, “So what? Why bother investigating? Even if everything is clarified, what can it change?”
Ruan Jin, who had been kneeling there, lowered his head. His gaze swept over Ruan Xiao’s lifeless legs under the covers, and his eyes reddened even more. He wiped away the tears streaming down with his sleeve and said, “It’s all my fault. I didn’t get everything sorted out and believed the illusion in front of me. These years, I’ve harmed Uncle. I’ve harmed the only family member who treated me well.”
Ruan Jin’s remorse was genuine. In the past, he had thought Ruan Xiao was the mastermind behind his miserable fate, holding deep resentment towards him. However, when he first met Ruan Xiao, he genuinely liked his uncle.

He still remembered the scene when his father led him to meet Ruan Xiao for the first time. Ruan Xiao at that time was exceptionally noble, and his dazzling presence made it impossible to look away.

So, even when that couple told him that his god-like uncle didn’t want him anymore, he still refused to give up and went to find him.
It wasn’t until he was inadvertently sold to that kind of place, where he endured beatings, humiliation, and torment, that his full heart of expectation turned into deep resentment and grievances.
Why? If he wasn’t wanted, why pretend to be a good person and adopt him? He never thought about taking something away from this man, but he didn’t hesitate to put him in a desperate situation.
Why give him hope only to crush it again?
At that time, how could he willingly accept it? Therefore, thoughts of revenge took root and sprouted crazily in his heart. Later, when Feng Zhan proposed to help him regain the Ruan family, he naturally agreed without hesitation.
He could feel Feng Zhan’s goodwill towards him and sense that this man was obviously interested in him. However, he knew even better in his heart – how could someone like Feng Zhan be blindly in love?
The reason he could propose to help without hesitation was obviously also for the sake of the Feng family.
At that time, after Ruan Xiao took over and greatly expanded the development of the Ruan family, although there were business dealings between the Feng and Ruan families, it was more of a confrontational relationship between two powerhouses. Ruan Xiao seemed particularly displeased with Feng Zhan, seizing many businesses from the Feng family based on his own abilities. Feng Zhan was not one to take losses, and the two families engaged in a fierce behind-the-scenes rivalry with frequent friction.
Feng Zhan had harbored resentment against this competitor for a long time. So, if he could really help someone close to him rise to power, easing the relationship between the two families, it would naturally be very advantageous for the Feng family.
With Xia Sheng managing the company, he didn’t need to worry about the company’s operations. Having Feng Zhan protecting him all the time made him feel extremely secure. He could indulge in being a university student at his leisure, without worrying about livelihood or tuition fees. He could go wherever he wanted, buy whatever he desired, waking up every day to endless money and enjoying an extravagant lifestyle.
But now he learned that his uncle had been innocent all along…
Honestly, I’m sick and tired of reading their apologies. It’s already too late. They’ve already ruined his life, even if they kneel or bawl, his life won’t change back to the way it was before.
