Text Chapter 388 Interests and Family (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
What Shangguan Yunyao did not expect was that there seemed to be some conflict between Ruixue and Ruinian. This banquet that originally greeted Ruixue was now parting with dissatisfaction because of Ruixue's departure, but it really made Shangguan Yunyao and Fatty feel quite embarrassed.
Obviously, the meal was not very good, and as Ruixue’s friend, Shangguan Yunyao still wanted to stand on Ruixue’s side. If Ruixue makes any mistakes, Shangguan Yunyao will help Ruixue to enlighten her.
After all, if there is a gap between him and his family, it will have a considerable impact on his future life. Shangguan Yunyao could see that Wang Jie's concern for Ruixue is far less than that for Ruinian.
Ruixue's current situation in the Rui family seems a little embarrassed. Ruixue's father Ruier's love spoils Ruixue on the surface, but in fact no one knows the deep thoughts in his heart. Shangguan Yunyao can clearly feel the unusualness of Ruier's love.
"Yunyao, it's so sad that you said we're going to eat like this."
The fat man said with some resentment, with a resentful expression on his face. Shangguan Yunyao smiled coldly and glanced at the fat man.
"You foodie, are you just sighing at that table of delicious food? It's time. You are still in the mood to eat. Go back and have a good rest. It seems that the Rui family is not as calm as it seems."
Shangguan Yunyao could see through tonight's dinner that the seemingly peaceful Rui family was actually undercurrents, and Ruixue was very likely to be a victim. After all, Ruixue was just a woman after all.
The fat man looked at the direction of the lobby of the Rui family with regret, "Forget it, Fatty Master is back and resting. See you tomorrow. I'll find a way to help Ruixue, and they seem to be bullying Ruixue together."
"Well, let's take a break early, I'll go to rest too."
After Shangguan Yunyao said goodbye to the fat man, he entered the courtyard that Ruixue asked someone to arrange for him. However, Shangguan Yunyao was not sleepy at this moment. At this moment, he wanted to chat with Ruixue. After all, Ruixue was probably a little resentful.
It is no wonder that a dignified young lady of the Rui family took a few people to Dabai Mountain to explore alone. I think such a thing must be a bit indescribable, but Ruixue had never said it, and Shangguan Yunyao had never cared about it before.
After saying that, Shangguan Yunyao naturally knew the courtyard where Ruixue lived. Fortunately, during the day, Ruixue took Shangguan Yunyao to visit this place, and Shangguan Yunyao had already remembered the route.
Now Shangguan Yunyao's figure has long appeared outside the Ruixue Little Villa. A trace of fragrance comes from the courtyard, making people feel a little unreliable. After all, there are many colorful flowers planted in the courtyard.
Shangguan Yunyao looked at the closed door, let out a helpless breath, and then knocked a few times. After all, Shangguan Yunyao could not enter a girl's courtyard silently in the middle of the night, which was somewhat similar to the flower-picking thief.
Dong, Dong, Dong!
After the knock on the door fell, there was no sound in the courtyard, without even a trace of response. There was nothing to do. Shangguan Yunyao could only use his own mental power to see if Ruixue had rested.
However, what made Shangguan Yunyao smile bitterly was that Ruixue was sobbing softly on the pond pavilion in the courtyard at this moment.
Shangguan Yunyao, who saw this scene secretly, felt a little depressed, and was actually a little worried at this moment.
Ruixue suffered such grievances on the first day she returned home. Although she had a little bit of a young lady's temper, this was not the point, but the people of the Rui family were somewhat excluded by this young lady of the Rui family.
There was no choice but to force Shangguan Yunyao to jump into the courtyard. After a while, he was already standing on the pond pavilion and looking at the tearful Ruixue, Shangguan Yunyao felt a little uncomfortable. How could Shangguan Yunyao be happy when he saw his friend being wronged?
Ruixue seemed to have noticed someone behind her. After turning her head, she looked at Shangguan Yunyao, and a look of panic flashed across her face.
After all, she didn't want people to see her crying side, especially in front of Shangguan Yunyao. For some reason, Ruixue wanted to rely on Shangguan Yunyao's shoulder to express her feelings.
"Cry if you want to cry. I'll come here without invitation. I hope you don't mind." Looking at Ruixue with red eyes, Shangguan Yunyao felt bad either.
Immediately, I sat down aside, while Ruixue was still sobbing quietly, as if she felt extremely wronged in her heart.
Afterwards, Ruixue raised her head and looked at Shangguan Yunyao and said.
"Can I lean on your shoulder?"
"Yes, yes."
"Thanks."
Afterwards, Ruixue slowly leaned over, but Shangguan Yunyao did not refuse, because he really couldn't find any reason to refuse at this moment. He hoped that as a friend, Ruixue could relieve her inner grievances.
Looking at Ruixue who was sobbing on his shoulder, Shangguan Yunyao could only patiently comfort him. Finally, under Shangguan Yunyao's persuasion, Ruixue felt much better.
Afterwards, Ruixue told Shangguan Yunyao about her situation in the Rui family. After Shangguan Yunyao heard this, he had a great change in his heart about the Rui family. The indifference of the Rui family's affection was fully demonstrated at this moment.
Ruixue left the banquet, and no one in the Rui family came to care about it until now. There was only an outsider like Shangguan Yunyao, and Ruixue's father Ruier did not come. Compared with these, Ruixue's heart was very sad.
As for why Ruixue is so unpopular with his relatives, it is just because Ruixue has not considered the interests of the family and is willful.
Ruixue seemed so helpless at this moment, and the fragility in the woman's heart was fully revealed at this moment. Ruixue is probably the only friend Shangguan Yunyao who can speak now.
From what Ruixue said just now, Shangguan Yunyao gradually understood that the Rui family's current status is in Wangshan Town, and the relevant one is the source of the Rui family's economy, which was curbed by another family.
That is the Zhao family, another major force in Wangshan Town. Both major families are extremely family forces. They are both in Wangshan Town, so they naturally have some entanglements of interest, even competition.
Originally, the Rui family could still suppress the Zhao family, but since the last two months, the Zhao family had somehow received the support of a prince from the Yuanqian Dynasty. The family's power developed rapidly and even became arrogant and domineering. They thought they were already invincible in Wangshan Town, so they directly began to deal with the Rui family secretly and curb the economic lifeline of the Rui family, which made the Rui family miserable in the past two months.
Now, he has begun to suppress the Rui family without caring about the past, and even speaks that if the Rui family let Ruixue marry into the Zhao family, the Zhao family will give the Rui family some help and the two families will develop together.
Faced with these words from the Zhao family, the people of the Rui family were suppressed for nearly two months and were already in a state of misery.
Now that we have seen the opportunity given by the Zhao family, the elders of the Rui family have held a meeting to discuss that Ruixue will marry into the Zhao family and safeguard the interests of their Rui family.
Rui Er was surprisingly not opposed, but instead advised Ruixue to put the overall situation first and to make some sacrifices for the future development of the Rui family.
Facing his biological father treating him like this, Ruixue was completely disappointed and somewhat unacceptable. When did his father become so cruel and ruthless, and to his daughter's happiness and disregard.
Therefore, Ruixue became a victim of the stable development of the Rui family in the future. However, outsiders can understand at a glance that even if Ruixue married into the Zhao family, the Zhao family might not be able to let the Rui family go because the Zhao family did not want to leave behind any future troubles.
All this is probably just wishful thinking of the Rui family. They try to sacrifice Ruixue's marriage with the Zhao family and strive to achieve stable development of the Rui family. This is indeed a bit meticulous.
However, even if the Zhao family agrees to the marriage, they may not be able to really let the Rui family go.
Overall, Ruixue’s experience is indeed a bit sad. When family affection is in the face of interests, it has long disappeared.
Since Shangguan Yunyao knew the reason, he naturally didn't want Ruixue to be pushed into the fire pit by his family.
As for the conflict between Ruixue and his half-brother Ruinian, it has been buried, because Ruinian never regarded Ruixue as his sister at all, and Ruixue was ambushed by the fourth son of Xia thief in Dabai Mountain, it may have an inseparable relationship with Ruinian.
Moreover, Ruinian is the person who supports marriage the most in the Rui family. For this matter, he even took the initiative to take the free hand to put Ruixue under house arrest. These are all learned from Ruixue.
Among them is some of Shangguan Yunyao's own speculations that Ruixue should not have returned to Rui's house at all. Moreover, judging from Rui'er's attitude, he may not have given up on marriage.
Ruier attached so much importance to Ruinian, and he definitely wanted to hand over the Ruinian's hands in the future, so he had to bet on his daughter's happiness. He knew it was a wrong decision, but he no longer wanted to give up. If the Ruinian continued to be suppressed by the Zhao family, it would be difficult to avoid the extermination of the family.
And he didn't want the foundation that the Rui family had accumulated for many years to be buried in his hands, then he would be the sinner of the Rui family.
So instead of doing this, it is better to try hard. The Rui family has no strong power to rely on, so they can only show weakness to the Zhao family and give the Zhao family good to have a chance.
Shangguan Yunyao, who is now abdicated by the Rui family, did not expect that he would fall into such a situation.
It is indeed a bit sad that a family like the Rui family has fallen to let a woman take on everything and seek what they think is profitable survival. Such a family will sooner or later be eliminated.
He did not have the courage to face difficulties at all. Instead of doing so, it would be better to confront the Zhao family head-on. If the ancestors of the Rui family knew that their descendants would have fallen to such a level, they would not know how they would feel.
