CHAPTER 839: CHAPTER 836: TRIVIAL MATTERS

Ruan Xiangqian and Jiang Yingxue stayed home all day today.

One reason is that it’s the holiday period, and there’s not much happening at the company.

The other reason is that Ruan Hongzhuang called in the morning, and they have a general understanding of what happened.

And they also learned from their daughter that Shen Siyuan had arranged "people" to protect them.

So the couple chose not to go out at all.

But staying at home doesn’t mean doing nothing.

Ruan Xiangqian diverted a large amount of funds through phone calls while keeping an eye on stock market dynamics.

The news might be fake, but the stock market never lies.

In the capital market, profit and loss explain everything.

No one opposes money, and besides, capital has much more powerful information channels.

So when he saw all stocks related to the Four Seas Group plummeting, Ruan Xiangqian knew Shen Siyuan had succeeded, and there was no need to ask around, the stock market explained everything well.

"Xiangqian, bring me some fruit."

Jiang Yingxue’s voice finally made Ruan Xiangqian look away from the stock market K-line chart.

"Hold on a bit."

Ruan Xiangqian quickly went to cut some fruit.

Jiang Yingxue is pregnant, and he’s even more attentive than Jiang Yingxue. Now that she’s pregnant, it delights him more than his company going public.

Very soon, Ruan Xiangqian brought up the fruit.

"Should we call Ruan Ruan to ask about the situation?" Jiang Yingxue was also worried about the developments.

"It should be resolved; the stocks related to Four Seas Group just plummeted."

"Really, how much can we earn?" Jiang Yingxue asked excitedly upon hearing this.

No one thinks they have too much money, not even someone as affluent as Jiang Yingxue.

"It’s too early to say now, but there are likely other capital players in the game," Ruan Xiangqian said.

The Four Seas Group is a behemoth with an unimaginably large asset scale, and now that it’s dropping so fast, there must be other capital players involved.

"Do you think Xiao Shen could fall into a trap?" Jiang Yingxue suddenly suggested.

"It’s very possible."

Ruan Xiangqian had already keenly noticed this beforehand.

"Should we help Xiao Shen investigate? Having someone lurking in the shadows is never good," Jiang Yingxue said worriedly.

"Let’s first ask Xiao Shen’s opinion; maybe he already knows who it is. However...they’d better stay hidden, or they might be in trouble," Ruan Xiangqian said somewhat gloatingly.

"What do you mean?"

Ruan Xiangqian didn’t explain but instead handed over his phone.

With such a big incident at Four Seas Group, anyone in the business circle couldn’t possibly not hear a word about it. Even without Ruan Xiangqian specifically asking others, someone had already sent him this shocking news.

When Jiang Yingxue saw the bloody scenes, she immediately felt a bit nauseous.

"Take it away, take it away..."

Ruan Xiangqian hastily put away the phone, feeling a bit regretful for not considering that Jiang Yingxue was pregnant and shouldn’t be shown such gory scenes.

After calming down, Jiang Yingxue asked, "Did Xiao Shen do all this?"

"I think so," Ruan Xiangqian replied.

"With such a big commotion, will he be okay?" Jiang Yingxue asked worriedly.

"Of course, he will be fine; he can eat three bowls of rice in one sitting."

Just then, a small voice startled the couple.

But Jiang Yingxue was the first to react; it was Dou Dou.

After all, when she was in Bin Hai, she saw Dou Dou almost every day, for quite a while.

At this moment, Duoduo also became visible, and grabbed Dou Dou’s ear.

"Brother said not to become visible."

"Grandpa Ruan and Granny Jiang aren’t outsiders," Dou Dou retorted confidently.

At that moment, Xiao Yue and Mili also became visible. They had stayed out of sight today, but Dou Dou broke this as soon as she arrived.

"Dou Dou, Duoduo, Xiao Yue, and who is this young lady?"

Jiang Yingxue stood up in surprise, her voice becoming a bit high-pitched.

She actually enjoys having children at home; it makes the place lively. After all, without them, the house seemed quite dull with just the couple around; children bring life, especially during the holidays and festivals, this feeling becomes more pronounced.

So she’s delighted by Dou Dou and the others’ arrival.

"She’s Sister Mili," Dou Dou said first.

"Her name is Cai Yunong, and brother asked me to come and protect you with her," Xiao Yue explained from the side.

"What a lovely name, thank you for all your hard work," Jiang Yingxue said with a smile.

"It’s no trouble; I didn’t protect you, I went to protect Uncle and Aunt," Dou Dou immediately said.

"Uncle and Aunt?"

The couple didn’t react immediately but then realized she meant Taotao’s parents.

"Xiao Shen is very thoughtful indeed," Ruan Xiangqian said.

Jiang Yingxue discreetly glared at him, signaling him to be careful with his words, avoiding a sarcastic tone.

"Hello, Grandma and Grandpa..." Mili politely greeted the two.

"Good girl, I’ll... I’ll put on some TV for you,"

It stands to reason that when children visit, you should offer them food, but she also knew these children couldn’t eat, so she said that instead.

"No need, now that things are over, we need to return," Xiao Yue said.

"Is it over?"

The couple wasn’t surprised, but the speed of resolution did seem a bit fast.

"Yes, brother asked Duoduo to come and get us," Xiao Yue said.

"Wait a moment,"

Jiang Yingxue hurriedly gathered several red envelopes.

Then she handed one to each of them.

"Oh, there’s more," Dou Dou exclaimed with joy.

The reason she was so happy is that she had already received red envelopes on their last visit.

"Of course, let me give you all one more." Jiang Yingxue proceeded to give each of Mili and Xiao Yue an extra one.

Xiao Yue and Mili were hesitant to take them, but Jiang Yingxue said, "It’s the new year, for good luck, everyone take one, okay? Duoduo and Dou Dou took them before, your brother knows too..."

Hearing her say that, Xiao Yue and Mili finally accepted the red envelopes.

"If you don’t want them, you can give them to me," Dou Dou said from the side.

Then her little head got a flick from Xiao Yue.

Dou Dou rubbed the spot that was flicked, and her eyes landed on Jiang Yingxue’s belly. She eagerly leaned forward.

"Granny Jiang, let me see if the little baby is talking inside your tummy."

Jiang Yingxue was amused by her.

"You can’t hear anything yet, we have to wait a few more months."

Jiang Yingxue suddenly thought of her daughter’s wedding in March and wondered if she’d start showing by then.

A mother-in-law walking on stage with a big belly—how would that look?

"Is it a little brother or a little sister? Will they call me sister?" Dou Dou asked eagerly.

This question left Jiang Yingxue stumped.

Because the children’s way of addressing people was always a bit disorderly.

She wasn’t sure what to call them.

Meanwhile, in Bin Hai’s hometown, after hearing about Zhang Haibo’s situation, Shen Siyuan, having nothing to do in the evening, decided to stroll over to his house.

From afar, he saw Zhang Shengnan holding a steel bar, standing at the doorway streaming live.

She deepened her voice, bending the steel bar in her hands.

"Feel my strength, bend, old iron..."
