Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 121 Pursuers

Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Pursuers

Ruan Hongzhuang is not only beautiful but also capable and comes from an impeccable family background.

Therefore, since her childhood, countless boys have pursued her, wealthy ones, academically excellent ones, handsome ones, physically strong ones...

In short, Ruan Hongzhuang’s suitors fully reflect the diversity of humanity.

But the reason Ruan Hongzhuang hasn’t dated anyone over the years is due to some incidents that happened in middle school, which changed her outlook on life.

Plus, her personality is quite independent; she has no desire to rely on men.

Her life goal before turning thirty was to start a business, to make money, to prove herself, to realize her dreams.

Due to her family background, her starting point was higher than the average person’s.

If she were a typical rich second generation with pride, she would certainly think, "I want to establish my own business and prove myself without borrowing resources from my family."

But in reality, for such rich second generations, their initial funding is basically from their families, and they have a multitude of unspoken advantages due to their status.

So she never denied her identity from the start, but leveraged all the forces available to her. It would be foolish not to use the resources at her disposal.

Hence, from the beginning of her entrepreneurial journey, her business progressed smoothly, rapidly expanding in scale. Her company, an international freight forwarding agency, quickly made a mark in the industry.

Then, with this as a foundation, she also achieved no small success in fields such as international trade, cross-border logistics, and warehousing.

Ruan Hongzhuang told Shen Siyuan that she had a small company, which was a modest way to put it; the company was indeed small with just fifty or sixty employees, but the profit it generated each year was enough to buy six or seven of Shen Siyuan’s current gaming companies.

Ruan Hongzhuang declared openly that she wouldn’t consider her lifelong matters before thirty, even in front of her parents, she always answered in the same way.

Unexpectedly, at the age of twenty-eight, she met Shen Siyuan. Not only did she break her own vows, but she also took the initiative to pursue him.

Because she knew that some people, some things, should not be missed; otherwise, it’s a loss forever, and one must seize the opportunity.

When she saw him for the first time, a voice in her heart told her not to miss this person before her eyes and to grab hold of him.

This might stem from a kind of physiological instinct, or perhaps a woman’s sixth sense.

It gave her a strong desire to communicate, to become friends with him. Shen Siyuan’s voice, his gaze, even his scent, all had a fatal attraction for her, and she couldn’t understand why. In the quiet of the night, she even thought she must be going insane.

But whenever she thought of Shen Siyuan, and his image surfaced in her mind, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved up, her heartbeat sped up, and her body began to heat up, almost as if she was poisoned.

She couldn’t fully explain what was happening to her, but if Shen Siyuan were to explain it, it would be simple – it’s the attraction of magnetic fields; everyone has their own unique magnetic field.

And because Shen Siyuan underwent a leap in his life level, his own magnetic field became extremely special and strong. If it were an ordinary person with a weak magnetic field, they might just find Shen Siyuan good-looking and feel comfortable and close when interacting with him – what we often call a strong affinity.

However, for those with a stronger magnetic field, they are more likely to be attracted to him. Males would take the initiative to befriend him, considering him a confidant, a friend, a brother, etc.

Females, on the other hand, aspiring to be partners, it’s a biological instinct, also understood as an innate admiration for strength.

Because of Ruan Hongzhuang’s vows, many suitors chose to give up, but others persisted.

These pursuers, confident enough to match Ruan Hongzhuang, were either exceedingly outstanding themselves or came from extraordinary families.

Those with good prospects would pursue her while having fun, not delaying anything.

And those outstanding ones strived hard, with single-minded dedication, believing they could surely win the beauty.

But recently, Ruan Hongzhuang’s social circle shattered everyone’s fantasy.

The goddess they had pursued for so long had been picked by someone else.

Moreover, based on Ruan Hongzhuang’s attitude, it was evident she had fallen deep into love.

This left them utterly shocked, even Ruan Hongzhuang’s parents found it hard to believe. Their strong-willed daughter, who had vowed not to be in a relationship before thirty, actually got a boyfriend?

How exceptional must this guy be to have her break her own promise? They even made a special phone call to Ruan Hongzhuang.

Ruan Hongzhuang was forthright and admitted to her relationship.

"I don’t know if he’s good or particularly outstanding, but I really like him, and I don’t want to miss out, regretting it later."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ruan and Mrs. Ruan had only one thought in mind: oh no, it turns out my daughter is head over heels in love.

And the most ambitious suitor of Ruan Hongzhuang was Yang Hongwen, not only did he come from a good family, but he was also incredibly successful. Young as he was, he had already become a partner at a well-known law firm.

However, he wasn’t based in Bin Hai but worked in Xiajing. In order to pursue Ruan Hongzhuang, he directly rented a long-stay room at the nearby Marriott Hotel, and whenever he had time, he would fly from Xiajing to Bin Hai.

Although Ruan Hongzhuang said that she wouldn’t date before thirty, she didn’t say she wouldn’t make friends.

After such a long pursuit, even though Ruan Hongzhuang hadn’t agreed, the two were considered friends.

During this process, he naturally got to know Jiang Taoshi.

When he learned that Ruan Hongzhuang had a boyfriend, he was confused and in disbelief.

Then he started to feel his heartbeat quicken, his blood rushing, and his entire being overcome with dizziness.

I’ve only been back from Bin Hai for a few days, and my goddess has been taken away by some kid?

But he didn’t dare call Ruan Hongzhuang to confront her. After all, she wasn’t his girlfriend, and knowing her as he did, he’d definitely get a direct rebuke and probably lose the chance to even be friends.

So he made the call to Jiang Taoshi’s cellphone instead.

What could Jiang Taoshi say? She wasn’t clear about Shen Siyuan either, so she gave a vague response, saying she’d help to inquire.

She thought it was no big deal, so she called her cousin Jiang Wenxin directly.

"Did Ruan Hongzhuang ask you to check for her?"

"No, it’s just that I wanted to inquire a bit. You only told me last time that he was very capable. How capable is he really? Is his family background truly just ordinary?"

"Why do you want to know this?"

Jiang Wenxin was somewhat surprised, thinking perhaps she wanted to snatch Shen Siyuan back from Ruan Hongzhuang. If that were really the case, she would wholeheartedly support it.

Jiang Taoshi didn’t hide anything from her cousin and there was nothing to conceal, so she laid out the whole story.

Upon hearing it, Jiang Wenxin’s expression changed immediately, and she warned over the phone, "Don’t get involved in this. Just tell him you’re not clear, let them solve their own issues. If you dare to meddle and ruin Mr. Shen’s feelings, don’t blame me for not acknowledging you as a sister..."

"Sister, are you being serious? You’re making it sound so grave."

"Serious. I’m warning you, obey me, or you will face consequences you cannot bear." Jiang Wenxin’s tone was very stern.

Jiang Taoshi, though gluttonous and lazy, wasn’t stupid. Hearing how serious Jiang Wenxin was, she took it seriously too.

So she dropped the matter, passing the question back to Ruan Hongzhuang.

And Ruan Hongzhuang, with a cold demeanor, responded simply with "Why should I explain to him?", leaving her heart pounding in shock.

She couldn’t help but curse internally: you guys are enjoying your sweet romance, why should I get stuck in the middle and take the heat?

The more she thought about it, the more it infuriated her, so she decided to take advantage of Ruan Hongzhuang’s hospitality for dinner at her place after work, insisting on the same standard as last time.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wenxin weighed the situation and decided she still needed to give Shen Siyuan a heads-up.
