Honeyed Marriage

chapter 05

Zhou Mengyan has been on a business trip these days, and Ruan Yan has stayed at home these days, and his best friend Zhu Xingzhi has also returned to Lincheng to accompany her.

Zhu Xingzhi is a high school classmate of Ruan Yan. The two have known each other for many years. She also knows what is happening now about Ruan Yan.

On weekend mornings, she accompanied Ruan Yan to visit her father in the nursing home.

It may be the reason Zhou Mengyan had ordered. When she went out, she was accompanied by an assistant who drove.

This private nursing home is located halfway up a mountain in Lincheng. The air is pleasant, the scenery is beautiful, and the facilities inside are very high-end. It is a place where the rich can only afford it.

After Ruan Yunshan became a vegetable, he was sent here by the Ruan family for recuperation.

When they arrived, the two got out of the car and the assistant said: "Miss Ruan, I learned about it today. The Ruan family did not come here, and your whereabouts will not be revealed to them."

"it is good."

Ruan Yan was led to Ruan Yunshan's ward by a nurse.

Sitting alone in front of the hospital bed, she heard the doctor say that her father was still the same and she didn't know when she would wake up.

After the doctor left, Ruan Yan held Ruan Yunshan's hand and pressed his cheek to the palm of his hand.

"Dad, it would be nice if you could wake up..."

Perhaps everything she has encountered now will not happen, and she will not lose hope in life.

Ruan Yan remembered that when she was a child, she liked to eat ice cream, and her father would often bring ice cream to her when he came back from the company. He would attend every parent meeting no matter how busy he was, and always proudly said that this was his daughter.

She knew that no one in this world would love her unconditionally except him.

After Ruan Yan's grandfather founded Oula, seeing the abilities of the three children, he finally put his focus on cultivating successors on Ruan Yunshan, because as the eldest son, Ruan Wucheng has always hated their family.

The reason why she was expelled from Ruan's house, Ruan Wucheng did not stop him, because he now has a firm foothold in the company and needs to win over Feng Zhuang and control her shares.

Moreover, she unexpectedly learned not long ago that Ruan Wucheng seemed to have bought this nursing facility, not using treatment methods, and only maintaining the status quo, in order to... prevent her father from waking up, so that Euler’s management rights remain in his hands. Hands.

Ruan Yan can only know that he has no ability to stop it.

If there is no foreign capital injection, Ruan Wucheng and Feng Zhuang are likely to sell the company in a hurry and walk directly with the money.So if my father wakes up one day and faces everything like this, how big a blow would it be?

She closed her eyes and once again remembered the prenuptial agreement Zhou Mengyan handed her.

In the morning, the sky went from being covered with stars last night to turning white.

Ruan Yan slept very shallowly and slept intermittently. When she finally woke up, she did not go into a daze as usual. Instead, she immediately went out to wash, change clothes, and put up a ponytail, so that she could look more energetic.

Back in the room, she put away the necklace her father gave her on the bed, and then went to open the bay window.

Standing in front of the window, she noticed the faint light on her eyelids, and a word appeared in her heart--

Today Zhou Mengyan should be back from a business trip.

It's just that she didn't expect to hear the man's voice when she walked out of the bedroom.

He came back early?!

When the man walked out of the study, he saw her and just said, "Have you washed it?"

"Ok……"

"Go downstairs for breakfast."

His expression was plain, as if he had never mentioned anything to her a week ago.

Ruan Yan followed him downstairs and sat opposite, and the servant served breakfast.

He ate, but he did not speak.

The girl lowered her eyes, pursed her red lips, and raised her head after a long while.

"Mr. Zhou, the marriage that you mentioned to me the previous week...I'm done."

The man stopped the knife and fork in his hand and looked at her.

Ruan Yan said: "I promise you."

Ruan Yan had fantasized about love and wanted to choose someone who would not be separated, but there were some things that she could not get more important if she did not give up.

She has been thinking for a long time this week whether or not to agree to this contract marriage. She has considered many reasons for rejection, but she always thinks of her father, and she collapses completely.

Without this marriage, she might have watched the Oula Building collapse in front of her with her own eyes. She would have been trampled underfoot by the Ruan family, never turning over, and would always be the object of others' laughter.

She knew clearly that Zhou Mengyan was her only straw and Euler's last straw.

With his ability, he can help her regain everything.

After she finished speaking, the restaurant was quiet for a long time, and the man's faint voice sounded: "Are you sure?"

Ruan Yan lowered his eyes, his fists gradually closed, "...Hmm."

For her, this marriage is no longer a testimony to the oath of the alliance, but a mutually beneficial and win-win transaction.

Zhou Mengyan slowly sliced ​​the eggs on the plate, "Have you read the contents of the prenuptial agreement? There is nothing to add."

She hesitated for a while, then plucked up the courage to ask softly: "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, can I ask you to help me again..."

"You said."

"After getting married, can you take my father out of the original nursing home and arrange a new place for him?" Ruan Yan told him what Ruan Wucheng had done to his father, "I am very worried about my father now. I owe it, I will definitely pay it back to you in the future, okay..."

When she heard the response, she began to wonder if she was too demanding. This was indeed not the content of the prenuptial agreement. He had every reason not to help, "If..."

The man cut off her words:

"Okay, I will arrange it."

The stone in the girl's heart finally fell, her expression grateful, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou..."

In fact, for him, it is very simple.

He didn't answer, put down the rose gold fork, wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue, and stood up.

"After breakfast, come to my study and sign a prenuptial agreement."

After Ruan Yan finished his meal, he was taken to the study by the servant.After a while, when a third-party notary arrived, the two officially signed a prenuptial agreement.

At the moment before Ruan Yan wrote, thousands of thoughts flashed in his heart, and finally he signed it firmly.

Pressing the fingerprint, she slowly pushed the document out.

"……All right."

After all the procedures were over, the third party left, leaving only Ruan Yan and Zhou Mengyan in the study.

The man put the prenuptial agreement aside and looked up at her: "I happen to be going to the Tianli Yunz Department Store this afternoon for an inspection. You and I will go together to buy some clothes, shoes and bags."

She was startled and nodded.

The suitcase Ruan Yan took away from Ruan’s house contained only a few pieces of clothes. Many of the expensive dresses and accessories were thrown away by Ruan Ling. During this time, her clothes were all prepared by servants. It fits too well, so she also wants to go out and add some clothes.

"As for getting the certificate, I will finish the things I have on hand."

"Okay." In fact, this is just a process.

After leaving the study, Ruan Yan returned to the bedroom.

Walking to the bathroom alone, she stood in front of the washstand, turned on the faucet, and gently rubbed her fingers with red marks.

Even the one month ago, there was no way to predict that the current one would agree to marry a man who had known him for more than ten days.

She didn't know how to describe this feeling, dazed and unbelievable.

Recalling the process of signing the agreement just now, for Zhou Mengyan, this matter seemed as ordinary and simple as eating and drinking, as if it were an official business.

However, her marriage to Zhou Mengyanzhi was indeed more like an official business.

Marriage by contract should not commit each other after marriage.This kind of marriage may be free.

In the afternoon, the sun was blazing, and the black Rolls Royce drove into the underground garage of Tianliyunz.

After parking, Ye Qing, the female assistant in the front row, opened the back door and helped Ruan Yan down.

Today she received an arrangement, mainly responsible for picking clothes with the president's wife.

As soon as the automatic glass door was opened, a peculiar sweet scent filled the air-conditioned air, with gardenia and honey orange as the main notes, as if it made every guest who walked in feel happy.

As soon as I walked in, nearly a dozen staff in professional attire came forward to greet him. The man in the lead nodded and smiled: "Hello, Mrs. Zhou, I am Chen Guang, general manager of Tianli Department Store..."

Tianli Yunci Department Store is a high-end department store owned by Van Moni. It was on the market as early as the 1990s, with assets of more than 100 million yuan. At that time, Van Moni’s president founded his luxury brand in order to promote it to the market. A high-end department store with Van Muni as the main body.

And Tianli Yunz in Lincheng is the largest in China because it is built in the same city as the headquarters of Van Moni.

The person in charge of the department store received a notice from his superiors the day before that the president may come to inspect this afternoon, and by the way, he will bring his wife to shop. Everyone is busy and prepared urgently for fear of a little mistake.

Chen Guang bowed and made a please gesture: "Ms. Zhou, let's go to the second floor first."

He noticed that Ruan Yan was walking slowly. He looked up and saw the sunglasses she was wearing. Realizing something, he immediately turned in another direction. He did not go to the escalator, and he still smiled without changing his face: "Let’s take the elevator here. ."

When he arrived on the second floor, Zhou Mengyan did not go to check the matter for some reason, but accompanied Ruan Yan to choose clothes.

The escort first asked about Ruan Yan's favorite style, and after learning about it, he took her to the first shoe store, BRW.

This brand of high-end handmade women's shoes originally came from Italy. It was just acquired by Van Moni for US$77 million the year before. It suddenly became the top international luxury shoe brand. It is inlaid with gold and hot silver. A pair of shoes is considered to be less than six digits. It is a discounted out-of-season item.

In a quiet shop, only two people came. Ruan Yan sat on a leather sofa with a soft seat. The tellers in the shop took some models for her and tried them one by one.

She couldn't see it, she could only rely on the teller's description to roughly imagine the appearance of the shoes, and experience the feeling of wearing them.

After trying five pairs, Ruan Yan thought it was pretty good. The teller introduced: "Your pair of wool pointed-toe Muller shoes are new arrivals two days ago, and the price is 188,800. The price of the suede high heels you just tried. It will be slightly more expensive, 228,800..."

The teller described it again, and the cheapest price was nearly 200,000.

Ruan Yan's heart squatted, and for a while, he accepted the idea of ​​buying.

Since the family company's accident, the Ruan family has not given her any more money. She has lost the source of income. All the money is the original deposit. She can't bear to buy such expensive shoes from it...

Sitting on the side with folded legs, Zhou Mengyan, who looked at the phone, raised his gaze, saw the hesitation on the girl's face, and then spoke lightly:

"Wrap everything up."

Ruan Yan was stunned for a moment, trying to stop, "Wait, in fact, as long as..."

He looked at her, his expression still flat: "Buy if you want, there is nothing to entangle."

Ruan Yan: "..."

She suddenly realized that after marrying Zhou Mengyan, it was mentioned in the prenuptial agreement that she could have no worries about material life, no worries about food and clothing, and even lived more comfortably than before Euler had no crisis.

Zhou Mengyan handed out a card, the teller took it, and went to the counter to count the money.

Several tellers stared in the direction of Ruan Yan and Zhou Mengyan with envy. "The president brought his wife to buy a bag. It's too generous. A credit card is 1.2 million."

"This kindness show is too banknote, hey, we only have to sell shoes here..."

A few gossip tellers took out a few pictures with their mobile phones, and then sent them to Moments. Who knows that one Moments spread ten to ten, and finally passed to Ruan Ling's hands.

She suddenly received a screenshot from a friend at home. In the photo inside, Zhou Mengyan was sitting next to Ruan Yan and accompany her to pick shoes. This was definitely not the treatment of ordinary women.

Zhou Mengyan actually accompanied Ruan Yan to do this kind of thing in person?!

In the afternoon two days later, the air was hot and uneasy, and the scorching sun shone row upon row in the Lincheng Financial Free Trade Zone.

This is the center of Lincheng's technology and finance. There are many tall buildings rising into the sky, and the tallest building overlooking the largest central park in Lincheng is the headquarters of the Van Muni Group.

In the office of the president & chairman of the board on the top floor, the panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass is all around, gathering the best light, overlooking the forest city.

Zhou Mengyan sat at his desk, flipping through the specific contract signed in the Sino-Lonia Jewelry M&A case.

This is his busy M&A case recently, spanning three countries in total, with assets in circulation reaching tens of billions, but it only took him a month to resolve all of it. He is known for his resolute and decisive actions in the circle.

After a while, Jiang Cheng knocked on the door and walked in, looking at the man who was working.

"Mr. Zhou, just received a call from the front desk downstairs. The second lady of the Ruan family wants to see you."

Zhou Mengyan didn't lift his eyelids, his expression was cold: "No."

"……it is good."

Zhou Mengyan had a video call with the person in charge of the merger. It was approaching evening, after four o'clock, the sky suddenly darkened outside, Jiang Cheng poured a cup of mocha, walked into the office again, Zhou Mengyan was also just finished.

"Ms. Zhou, Miss Ruan Ling is still waiting downstairs, saying that she must see you, this should be..."

Zhou Mengyan raised his eyes to look at the computer time, and picked up the mocha that Jiang Cheng had handed over.

"If she wants to wait, let her wait."

Jiang Cheng agreed, knowing that his boss has always treated girls without pity.

Over the past few years, he has followed Zhou Mengyan, and he also knows that he is not close to women. For the women who have posted, he has not even looked directly at the women.

"Ok."

Zhou Mengyan thought of something, glanced at his watch, "Prepare the car and go home."

Jiang Cheng agreed and immediately went out to make arrangements.

Five minutes later, there was a sudden thunderstorm outside the window, and the heavy rain poured down.

Zhou Mengyan walked out of the president's office, went to the direct elevator, and went down to the first floor.

Stepping out of the elevator, he walked to the door of the building and heard an excited female voice: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou--"

Ruan Ling, who had been waiting for a long time, chased him. Jiang Cheng and the assistant behind him immediately stopped him. Ruan Lingqi said, "Mr. Zhou, I have been waiting for you for so long, so can't you listen to me?"

She has been here since 1 o'clock in the afternoon and waited for nearly three hours. She has never put down her body like this since she was a child. How can he treat her like this?!

However, the man looked straight ahead and continued to walk towards the door of the building without giving her a look.

Ruan Ling frowned and followed closely, "Mr. Zhou, you are such a smart person, why would you choose to marry Ruan Yan? How can she be worthy of you, she is not qualified to marry Zhou's family at all!"
