As she approached the door, Ruan Miaomiao thought for a moment and decided that she should pretend to be hurt by Shen Qingming to cut off any possibility that Shen Qingming and the Shen family could try to gain benefits from the Ruan family.

As soon as she entered the door, Ruan Miaomiao heard her parents arguing about something.

Ruan's mother complained to her husband with some anxiety and worry:

"Tell me, what's so good about that Shen family boy that makes our daughter so eager to pursue him?"

I won't go into details about how we were just keeping that kid around; we just thought of him as a gigolo to amuse our daughter.

But now look at this pile of stuff, these clothes, these shoes, it's obvious they're not our daughter's size, they're most likely for some pretty boy's female classmate.

Do they really think our daughter is a sucker, keeping a gigolo and then having to help support his friend who keeps him...?

Chen Juan kept complaining, but Ruan's father, Ruan Minqiang, didn't take it to heart at first, thinking it was just that his wife couldn't stand their daughter keeping a gigolo again.

What's wrong with a division commander having his daughter keep a gigolo?

It's not like we can't afford to raise them!

He works himself to the bone just so his daughter can enjoy a happy and fulfilling life.

However, upon hearing the following words, his head immediately popped out from under the newspaper. He looked at what Chen Juan was pointing at, his face dark and angry. Just as he was about to explode, he saw his daughter, wiping away sweat, standing at the door looking at the two of them.

The anger in his heart vanished instantly, and he stepped forward anxiously, asking, "Nannan, what's wrong?"

Chen Juan, who was standing nearby, noticed that her daughter was in low spirits and her eyes were even a little red. Remembering that her daughter had gone out to find Shen Qingming, she immediately asked, "Nannan, did that bastard Shen Qingming bully you?"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Minqiang immediately glared at Chen Juan, then looked nervously at Ruan Miaomiao: Shen Qingming is the apple of my daughter's eye; she would fiercely protect him if they ever said a few words to each other.

Can't you see that my daughter is clearly in a bad mood? If my wife keeps saying things like that, won't my daughter throw a huge tantrum?

Chen Juan realized she had misspoke and quickly corrected herself: "Daughter, Mommy misspoke. Shen Qingming is actually quite good..."

"Mother……"

Ruan Miaomiao sniffed and cried pitifully, "Mom, Shen Qingming is a scoundrel. He only dated me because he wanted the power of our Ruan family. The one he truly loves has always been his childhood sweetheart, Zhao Xiuyun."

She even said that once she became successful thanks to our Ruan family, she would leave me and be with Zhao Xiuyun…

His beloved daughter, whom he had raised with such tenderness, was crying her eyes out, which broke Ruan Minqiang's heart. He drew his gun and roared as he walked out, "You bastard, how dare you bully my daughter! I'll kill him!"

Sensing that Ruan Minqiang really wanted to kill someone, Ruan Miaomiao quickly hugged his waist from behind.

Ruan Minqiang still thought his daughter couldn't let go of that bastard Shen Qingming. His eyes were bloodshot with anger, like a furious beast.

However, he couldn't bring himself to say a single harsh word to his beloved daughter.

Ruan Miaomiao sobbed, “Dad, your hands are for killing enemies, Shen Qingming doesn’t deserve them!”

"Now is the perfect time. If you impulsively kill Shen Qingming, you'll definitely be targeted. If something happens to you, how will Mom and I survive?"

Hearing her daughter's words, Chen Juan felt a chill of fear and quickly advised, "Stop being so cocky. Do you really need to do the dirty work yourself to deal with Shen Qingming?"

Hearing Chen Juan's words, Ruan Miaomiao was very satisfied: In the novel, weren't the male and female protagonists always worried that their relationship would be suppressed by the Ruan family after it was exposed?

Now, I've confirmed my status as the villainous female supporting character. From this day forward, let the Shen family and the Zhao family prepare for the Ruan family's oppression...

After Ruan Miaomiao cried and berated Shen Qingming and Zhao Xiuyun for a while, her parents suddenly realized what was happening and excitedly pulled Ruan Miaomiao aside:

"Darling, that bastard Shen Qingming has wronged you. Let's not go to the countryside. Let's stay home and keep Mom and Dad company, okay?"

“Yes, my dear, life in the countryside is tough, and you’re going to the southwest, where it’s even harder. I’ll go to the educated youth office and ask them to remove your name from the list.”

Seeing the expectant looks in their eyes, Ruan Miaomiao felt their deep love for their daughter.

A pang of sadness struck me: the genuine love of parents is truly heartwarming.

Having not felt the warmth of human kindness in the post-apocalyptic world for a long time, Ruan Miaomiao greedily wanted to immerse herself in it, but in order to prevent the two from realizing that she was not the original owner of the body, she decided to leave.

The separation now is for a better reunion in the future.

Therefore, she could only reluctantly refuse:

"Dad, Mom, the suffering we're talking about is the suffering that people in the southwest have endured for generations."

My previous insistence on going to the countryside wasn't just for Shen Qingming's sake; it stemmed from a genuine desire to go to the southwest, to the grassroots, to the places where the motherland and the people needed me most, and to dedicate my youth and sweat to building my beautiful motherland.

"Dad, this is a country that you and your uncles and grandfathers won with your blood and sweat, and countless soldiers who sacrificed their lives. I want to be like you, contributing my sweat and strength to our country!"

These few words shocked Ruan Minqiang and stirred his heart. The man who hadn't even flinched when a bullet hit his leg before now felt a lump in his throat: Like father, like son. No wonder she's his daughter, Ruan Minqiang's daughter, she has such lofty ambitions.

Seeing her husband's expression, Chen Juan knew he was tempted and immediately retorted:

“No, my dear, if you want to contribute to the development of the city, you can stay in Haicheng. Your parents will find you a job. There’s no reason for you to go to the southwest to suffer.”

Your grandfather and father worked so hard and endured so much suffering so that you wouldn't have to suffer anymore.
