Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 525

Listening to Xu Ruihan's words, Long Yu tactfully said, "You two can talk first. I will go make some tea for Brother Xu."

Yao Ran knew Long Yu was giving them space and smiled. After he left for the kitchen, she gestured to Xu Ruihan and said, "Elder Brother Ruihan, let's go to the study room."

"Mhm."

Closing the study door, Yao Ran said, "Please have a seat."

Once they sat on the couch, Yao Ran pointed at the brown envelope and asked, "Are you here to give me that?"

Xu Ruihan nodded and handed the envelope to her.

As Yao Ran opened it, Xu Ruihan asked, "Younger Sister Ran Ran, have you ever wondered why my grandfather was so eager for us to get married?"

Yao Ran shook her head and responded, "Aren't all grandpas like that? When I had just returned to the Yao family, my grandfather was eager for me to find someone to marry. At that time, I had just turned eighteen."

Seeing that he seemed to be withholding something, she asked, "Is that not the reason?"

Xu Ruihan shook his head. "No. The real reason is that our grandfathers made a deal in the past."

Hearing this, Yao Ran became interested.

Seeing her staring at him, Xu Ruihan continued, "Grandpa Yao wanted my Xu family to protect you from Gao Shuwei, and my grandfather believed that marriage was the most effective way to do so."

"Not only would this plan block Gao Shuwei's plan to marry you, but it would also give us a legitimate reason to hide you from him. That's why my grandfather kept urging us to meet."

When Yao Ran heard that Gao Shuwei wanted to marry her, she frowned and asked, "Elder Brother Ruihan, are you sure that Gao Shuwei wants to marry me? Why do I find that hard to believe?"

Xu Ruihan didn't answer her question. Instead, he simply said, "You will find the answer in the file."

Seeing that he had no intention of telling her more, Yao Ran had no choice but to open the brown envelope and read the files inside.

When she finished reading the files, Yao Ran was shocked. She looked at Xu Ruihan and asked, "Elder Brother Ruihan, when did my grandfather give you these files?"

"Two weeks before he was hospitalized," Xu Ruihan replied.

Hearing this answer, Yao Ran fell into deep thought. A few seconds later, her eyes flickered with realization as she asked, "Could it be that my grandfather's sickness was man-made?"

After pondering for a while, Yao Ran looked at Xu Ruihan and asked, "Elder Brother Ruihan, do you believe what is written in these files?" _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
