Chapter 746: Hit his Crotch
n an indoor golf club, Ruan Qishan was practicing his swing. A couple of his business partners were standing around him. Although they were partners per se, there were underlying tensions between all of them. They were compet.i.tors to some extent after all. In business, personal interests always came before friends.h.i.+p or camaraderie.
“Old Ruan, is your daughter-in-law going to deliver soon?” a middle-aged man in a black polo t-s.h.i.+rt asked.
Ruan Qishan smiled and nodded his head. “That’s right, her due date is toward the end of this month. I can’t wait.”
The man exchanged a glance with the others. Although he was smiling, he was mocking Ruan Qishan inside. He was about to have a granddaughter; what was there to be excited about?
“Yes, becoming a grandfather is a joyous occasion! They always say that you’re closer to those one generation away from you. Grandpas and granddaughters are the closest,” the man in black polo laughed. The rest of the company chuckled as well.
Ruan Qishan smiled at them and said graciously, “Don’t be envious of me. Hurry your son along. When he gets married, he can give you a granddaughter as well!”
The man smiled but he didn’t take his words seriously. He only had one son. If he had a granddaughter, he would be giving his life’s work and all his a.s.sets to someone else. Although his company was not on the same scale as the Ruan Group, he didn’t have a big heart like Ruan Qishan. He must feel regretful about giving his company to someone outside of the Ruan family.
At this moment, w.a.n.g Yazhi came back from the washroom. She had run all the way back and she was panting as she struggled to catch her breath.
When Ruan Qishan saw her, he was concerned. “What did you run for? Be careful not to trip!”
w.a.n.g Yazhi couldn’t care less about what her husband had to say. She lifted up her phone and said in a hurry, “Old Zhong called me! Yaya is in labor!”
“What?” Ruan Qishan was shocked, and he raised his golf club agitatedly. His golf club hit the man in black right in the crotch!
The man collapsed instantly, and he couldn’t say a word as he gritted his teeth in pain.
“I’m so sorry Old Zheng!” Ruan Qishan had no desire to care for the man in front of him. After he apologized, he quickly asked w.a.n.g Yazhi, “Where is our daughter-in-law?”
“They’re on their way to the hospital. Ma is on her way too. Old Zhong told us to make our way there as well!” w.a.n.g Yazhi was pacing about anxiously. “Her due date isn’t here yet! She’s about a week early! I wonder how Yaya is doing…”
“Don’t panic! We’ll go to the hospital right away!” Ruan Qishan comforted his wife and instructed his a.s.sistant to pack up after them before the two of them made their way to the hospital quickly.
“Sorry everyone, my daughter-in-law is going into labor. I’m going down to the hospital with my wife. I’ll take my leave now.”
With that, Ruan Qishan and w.a.n.g Yazhi walked off quickly.
The man in black was still clutching his crotch and the pain finally subsided after a long wait. He waved and beckoned his own a.s.sistant over. “Quick, go get some clothes and toys for a baby girl. I’m going down to the hospital to congratulate CEO Ruan!” The man emphasized the word ‘congratulate.’
When they heard the man in black’s instructions, the rest of them quickly asked their a.s.sistants to prepare baby shower gifts as well. They didn’t want to miss out on an opportunity to impress the Ruan family and were all preparing to make their way to the hospital and celebrate the moment Ruan Qishan became a grandfather.
Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya had already arrived at the hospital. The medical staff had been notified in advance and the nurses and doctors were already standing by to receive them.
When Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya walked through the door, the staff quickly wheeled over the hospital bed and helped Ling Tianya onto it.
