Chapter 120 Ruan Liuzheng: I want to know the truth about everything Shen Liang

paused slightly and fell silent.

His hand unconsciously touched the briefcase beside him, and his expression was a little deep and difficult to discern.

He pursed his lips, "Well, I know. Just ask whatever you want to ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know."

Ruan Liuzheng pursed her lips lightly, and did not bother to be polite with Shen Liang. She asked directly, "Is my grandfather's death related to Bai Xunan?" Shen Liang

was stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He did not expect Ruan Liuzheng to be so sharp from the start. This character is somewhat different from her mother's.

But it's better this way. Now she is the only girl left in the Ruan family. With a strong character, she can protect herself. So as

not to be bullied by some blind people.

Shen Liang fell into his own thoughts for a while, and was silent for a long time without answering.

Ruan Liuzheng frowned, subconsciously thinking that Shen Liang did not want to tell her the truth, or perhaps he had already been bribed by Bai Xunan.

Don't blame her for speculating maliciously about Chen Liang. The world changes, and people's hearts are easily distorted.

Moreover, she was now merely a powerless orphan, while Bai Xunan, with the fortune left by his grandfather, had already successfully ascended to the upper class,

becoming the respected president of the Bai Group.

Even if the Bai family's current status wasn't as high as the Ruan family's, it was still far superior to a powerless orphan like her.

Any intelligent person sitting across from Ruan Liuzheng wouldn't risk offending the Bai Group by revealing the truth to her.

Ruan Liuzheng didn't want to understand people, but it wasn't that she couldn't guess.

Her eyes dimmed slightly, the warmth in them unconsciously dropping a few degrees. She said, "If Uncle Shen finds it difficult, so be it. Anyway... sooner or later, I will uncover the truth through my own abilities."

"Some things shouldn't be buried; they will eventually see the light of day."

Shen Liang came back to his senses, looking up to see Ruan Liuzheng, now covered in spikes, her fangs bared unknowingly.

Perhaps he had guessed something.

He chuckled softly, his eyes warm and tolerant, as if he was looking at a playful junior.

His aura was gentle and calm.

Shen Liang shook his head, "It's not difficult. I agreed to come here today because I wanted to tell you everything and let the Ruan family's things return to the Ruan family."

His voice was very soft, but his tone was mixed with a bit of seriousness and coldness.

Ruan Liuzheng was slightly startled.

She clenched her palms uncontrollably, and the wrinkles between her brows became deeper.

Let the Ruan family's things return to the Ruan family's hands!

What happened back then was indeed not simple. Bai Xunan must have something fishy going on!

Ruan Liuzheng's eyes flickered, and her cold voice unconsciously took on a bit of chill.

She said, "Uncle Shen, I believe you. So please tell me everything that happened."

"Grandpa shouldn't have died in such an unclear manner, and my mother shouldn't have met such a tragic end."

Chen Liang looked at Ruan Liuzheng quietly. The unspoken, imposing aura she exuded resonated with the old man in his memory.

Recalling the days spent with that old man, a faint smile gradually rose at the corners of his lips. It

's a pity... the past cannot be retold. So many years have passed, so much has happened, and even for those still alive, it's hard not to feel a sense of change.

Shen Liang took a deep breath, his brows furrowed slightly, subtly masking the complex emotions that suddenly surged in his eyes.

He said calmly, "Although you look like your mother, you inherited your grandfather's personality."

"The old man was just as decisive and ruthless back then."

Shen Liang raised his eyes, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, but fortunately, he knew that now was not the time to reminisce about the past.

He pursed his lips, his face becoming more serious. "Your guess is correct, but not entirely correct. The old man's death is indeed related to Bai Xunan, but there are also unexpected factors."

Ruan Liuzheng sat upright, her pale pink lips tightly pressed into a straight line.

Her cold eyes stared at Shen Liang steadily, with both coldness and confusion in them.

She frowned and asked, "Why do you say that? Is there anyone else who wants to murder grandpa besides Bai Xunan?" Shen Liang

shook his head, "No, Bai Xunan is just an indirect cause of your grandpa's illness. The real reason is your grandpa's own health."

"At that time, the old man discovered that Bai Xunan had a mistress and was secretly transferring assets. But there was no clear evidence in his hands. You know, Bai Xunan had already joined the board of directors under the old man's recommendation." Shen Liang

paused slightly, he sighed softly, his eyebrows seemed helpless, and continued, "If there is no definite evidence to expose Bai Xunan's true face, then not only Miss Li Chu will not believe it, but the group of directors on the board of directors will not believe it either."

"The old man will not be able to drive Bai Xunan out of the company and out of the Bai family. And in the years that Bai Xunan has entered the company, he has already secretly cultivated his own power behind the old man's back. Bai Xunan's wings are becoming more and more powerful, but the old man's health is getting worse day by day."

Ruan Liuzheng's heart tightened uncontrollably. She could almost imagine how her grandfather felt at the time.

His own daughter was unreliable, and she was far too young.

And out there was Bai Xunan, that hungry wolf, lurking, eager to seize the Ruan family's wealth, practically waiting for his death so he could pounce on her and her mother. Grandpa

was exhausted and worried, but perhaps also a touch of despair.

Ruan Liuzheng clenched her palms, her sharp nails digging into her tender skin. Only the pain kept her conscious. She

wouldn't run to Bai Xunan just yet to settle the score.

She took a deep breath, her voice slightly hoarse. "What happened next?"

"Then the old man came to me. Although I'm nominally a lawyer for the Ruan Group, I don't have any contract with the Ruan family. I offered my help unconditionally simply to repay the old man's kindness." "

Knowing this, knowing I wasn't too involved with the Ruan family, he sent someone to secretly investigate Bai Xunan and search for evidence. But he didn't expect..." Shen

Liang trailed off. Even without saying the rest, he was sure Ruan Liuzheng would be able to guess.

He closed his eyes, adjusted his emotions, then looked at Ruan Liuzheng and said, "That's all I know, but before the old man passed away, he left something for you and Miss Lichu to rely on." A faint blush

appeared at the corners of Ruan Liuzheng's eyes. She raised her hand to interrupt Shen Liang, her clear almond-shaped eyes icy.

She gritted her teeth and said, "There was no accident at all. Grandpa's illness didn't happen suddenly back then. It was Bai Xunan who noticed something in advance, so it triggered Grandpa's old illness."

"And at that time, the reason he kept pretending to be filial and taking care of Grandpa was to threaten Grandpa and conceal the truth, right?"

Ruan Liuzheng's face was expressionless, but she spoke each word with great emphasis, as if she had exhausted all her strength.

As her tone grew heavier, not only the corners of her eyes, but her entire eye sockets became red.

Although she had already guessed most of what was going on, she still wanted to hear Shen Liang's answer, Shen Liang's affirmation.

She wanted to remember the heartache and hatred she felt at this moment forever.

She wanted to make those evil-minded villains pay the price to comfort the souls of her grandfather and mother in heaven.

Shen Liang pursed his lips and said nothing, but his brows were tightly furrowed.

He looked at Ruan Liuzheng in front of him and suddenly fell silent.

He suddenly didn't know if there was any point in coming here today.

Before the old man died, he kept holding his hand tightly. Wasn't it because he was worried about Ruan Liuzheng and Ruan Lichu?

Wasn't the old man's greatest wish for the two young ladies to live a happy and worry-free life?

So he came here today and told Ruan Liuzheng everything, making Ruan Liuzheng's future burdened with hatred.

Is this really what the old man wanted to see?

Chen Liang's grip on the briefcase tightened steadily, his eyes flickering with hesitation and uncertainty.

He hesitated to nod and offer Ruan Liuzheng a definitive answer.

Yet, Ruan Liuzheng understood everything.

She smiled softly, her clear, cold voice unusually calm.

"I understand. Uncle Shen, don't feel any burden. The life my grandfather envisioned for my mother and me was shattered the moment Bai Xunan brazenly brought his mistress into the house and drove us out of the old house."

She curled her lips, her delicate features gleaming with a faint, cold light in the bright sunlight, like a red spider lily blooming on the shores of the underworld.

Precious yet threatening.

The warmth in her eyes subtly dropped a fraction, and she began to speak, "Besides, if those villains can't be punished, then how can I, Ruan Liuzheng, still truly be considered a member of the Ruan family?"

It was clearly a rhetorical question, but Ruan Liuzheng spoke with unwavering resolve.

Her mind was made up, and no one could change it.

Chen Liang realized this reality, and his grip on the briefcase loosened slightly.

After a long time, he exhaled a breath of foul air, and said with a sigh, "If the old man could see you now, he would be very pleased."

Ruan Liuzheng raised the corners of her eyes when she heard this, and finally revealed a sincere smile in her eyes.

She smiled and spoke, with a hint of water in her cold eyes, "I am his granddaughter, and we have all been taught by him, so how can we lose his integrity."

As she spoke, Ruan Liuzheng gently raised her eyes, and her tone gradually became cold, "So Uncle Shen, shouldn't you also tell me why you suddenly disappeared from Yuncheng, and why didn't you tell the truth to me and my mother at the first time?"
