 Chapter 166: Young Lady, You Can't Refuse the Elder's Gift

Qin Ruan frowned as she stared at the document in Old Master Hou's hand, her lips pursed in a clear expression of hesitation.

Seeing her reluctant look, Hou Hongxing, who had remained silent, finally spoke up.

He called Qin Ruan by her name, "Qin Ruan, do you know what Grandfather gave you?"

Qin Ruan looked up at him and met his dignified yet cheerful expression. However, his smile did not reach his eyes.

"I don't know," she shook her head and answered straightforwardly.

Hou Hongxing propped his head up with one hand, ignoring the frequent glances from his youngest son.

"This is one percent of HEA Group's shares, worth as much as several Qin family businesses," he said.

Qin family enterprises were worth several billion yuan, so one percent of HEA Group's shares would be worth at least several hundred billion yuan.

Qin Ruan's face changed slightly, her expression extremely surprised.

This gift was too precious.

Hou Hongxing sat up straight and pushed the black silk box on the table in front of Qin Ruan. "This is a mansion worth billions that I prepared for you. Compared to Grandfather's gift, I am being stingy."

In fact, he had not initially planned to give Qin Ruan a share of HEA Group, but had made preparations in advance.

They had decided to decide whether or not to give her a share of the company after meeting Qin Ruan in person.

If she did not have enough responsibility and could not protect her possessions, they could compensate her with something else.

After all, she was the daughter-in-law of the Hou family, and they could not just send her away with just one mansion. That would be too unfeeling and would diminish the status of the Hou family.

The significance of a share of HEA Group was extraordinary, and they would not give it to someone they were unsure about in terms of character.

Old Master Hou had a good impression of Qin Ruan, otherwise he would not have given her a share of HEA Group.

"Take it if it's given to you," Hou Yunjiao took the documents from his grandfather's hand and handed them to Qin Ruan.

He also bent down and picked up the black brocade box from the table, opened it, and revealed the property deed and keys inside.

Hou Yunjiao placed the brocade box in Qin Ruan's hands and smiled, "Ruan Ruan, you should thank your grandfather and father."

Qin Ruan held the documents and brocade box worth billions in her arms, looking very anxious.

These items were so valuable that they made her heart race.

"Child, you cannot refuse the gift of your elders," said Hou Yunjiao, leaning close to her and speaking softly in her ear.

Qin Ruan turned her head and met Hou Yunqiao's smile that was not quite a smile.

He stood beside her, exuding an innate sense of grace and elegance in every gesture and movement, a quality that was acquired through time and experience.

His calm and composed demeanor put Qin Ruan's unease and anxiety at ease.

Perhaps sensing her confusion, Old Master Hou spoke in a gentle voice, "These things rightfully belong to you, and you are carrying the fourth-generation heir of our Hou family in your belly. His existence is extraordinary."

His voice was gentle, but his tone was firm and serious.

This statement was already quite straightforward, pointing out that Qin Ruan only received everything because she was carrying the Hou family's legitimate grandson.

Qin Ruan lowered her gaze and thought to herself, 'Yes, that's true.'

If she did not have a child in her belly, even if the Hou family knew about her entanglement with Hou Yunqiao that night, her status would not qualify her to enter the Hou family's door.

Qin Ruan breathed a sigh of relief and spoke in a clear and pleasant voice, "Thank you, Grandfather and Father."

She was obedient and well-behaved. If one ignored the records in the investigation file, the impression Qin Ruan gave people was that of a gentle and good girl.

Knowing that Qin Ruan was uncomfortable in front of her elders, Hou Yunjiao had Hou Zhi take her to the dining room for breakfast.

Only the three generations of the Hou family were left in the living room.

The old master looked at his grandson sitting beside him with a teasing smile on his face, "A-Ao, this Ruan Ruan is not bad. It's rare for her to catch your eye."
