Ruan Qing'an's kick was absolutely forceful, sending her father tumbling down the stairs. Following Ruan Tiantian, her father also rolled down the stairs.

With a dull thud, Ruan Tiantian, who was lying on the ground, became a human cushion. Her father used her to cushion the impact, and the force of the impact made Ruan Tiantian's expression distort.

She was careful with her movements when she fell, making a point of protecting herself, and she almost suffered serious injuries from being crushed...

Before Mr. Ruan could react, his old arms and legs ached terribly, and he could only manage to ask the question.

"Sweetie, are you alright?"

"No, it's alright, Dad. It's good that you're not hurt."

Ruan Tiantian's understanding and obedient smile was almost about to burst out. This old man should get up, he's still pressing down on her!

Seeing their disheveled state, Ruan Qing'an finally couldn't help but laugh. She was leaning against the top of the stairs on the second floor, looking down at them with a cold smile in her leaden eyes.

She is always aloof, always wicked and willful, always arrogant and domineering. Even now, she still seems to be born to be so proud, and even when she tramples on others, she does so with a bewildering sense of entitlement.

Ruan Qing'an drawled, "The same old tricks, the same old way of being fooled. You guys are so boring. Since you like falling down so much, then—"

She paused, then her smile deepened: "I'll lend you a hand."

The maid who was cleaning the living room finally passed by and couldn't help but scream. She quickly stepped forward to separate Mr. Ruan and Ruan Tiantian, while another person dialed 120.

Forced to lie on the ground, Ruan's father stared intently at Ruan Qing'an: "How could I have such an unfilial daughter? You stay at home and wait for me to come back. I'll break your legs!"

"So you're going to put me in solitary confinement? Then Dad, remember to see a doctor as soon as possible."

Ruan Qing'an smiled brightly, seemingly not taking his father's threat seriously at all. He turned and headed towards the third floor. Halfway up, he remembered something and peeked out from the corner of the stairs.

She laughed and said, "Sister, you just moved to the third floor, it looks like you won't be able to stay there for a while. Let me move you to the hospital."

Ruan Tiantian was so angry that her injured ribs seemed to be in pain.

Ruan's father roared, "Go back to your room!"

Ruan Qing'an looked at his father with concern, displaying the qualities of a devoted son: "Please stop yelling, I'm afraid you won't come back once you leave."

After saying that, Ruan Qing'an slowly returned to the third floor. Soon after, the sound of an ambulance rang out, taking away Luo Zhihong, Ruan's father, and Ruan Tiantian.

In response, Nguyen Thanh An suggested that the hearse be used next time.

Unfortunately, the ambulance arrived in time and provided emergency treatment to Mr. Ruan and Ms. Ruan. The stairs in the Ruan family's house were not too steep, and after bandaging them up and confirming that they were not seriously injured, the two returned home and were taken care of by the family doctor.

After her visit to the hospital, Ruan's father seemed to have calmed down. He did not break Ruan Qing'an's legs as he had said, but he still kept her locked up, ostensibly to make her reflect on her actions.

In the morning, there was a knock on the door, and Nguyen Thanh An, still half asleep, climbed out of the dark bed.

Ruan's father wouldn't let her starve, so servants delivered her three meals a day. When Ruan Qing'an opened the door, Mo Hong was standing there, looking at her anxiously.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Ruan Qing'an shook his head: "They've only locked me up. Why is it Grandpa Mo who brought breakfast today? Did something happen?"

Mo Hong lowered his voice: "Miss, you don't know yet, the master has already taken Ruan Tiantian to attend the press conference. I came to find you after they left."

"Press conference?"

Ruan Qingan pondered for a moment.

In the original text, after Ruan Tiantian returned to the Ruan family, her father took her under his wing and began to handle the group's affairs, teaching her step by step and helping her achieve many good results.

On the contrary, the original owner of this body had no ability to begin with. Without the help of Ruan's father, she insisted on going against Ruan Tiantian, and in the end, she lost everything and became a laughing stock in the group.

Soon after this series of events, the original owner lost her right to inherit the throne, while Ruan Tiantian took her place as expected by everyone.

Thinking of this, Ruan Qing'an chuckled: "It seems they're already preparing to let Ruan Tiantian join the company for practice."

"Miss, what are your plans?"

Mo Hong said with worry that Ruan Qing'an was now completely locked in his room, and even communication with him was cut off. The door was chained shut, leaving only a gap for food delivery.

Ruan Qingan remained silent for a moment, then took the plate from the gap and acted as if nothing had happened.

"Miss, you..."

"The sky is vast, the earth is vast, but rice is the most important thing."

Mo Hong was pleased with Ruan Qing'an's carefree attitude, but worried that she was being too carefree. Unexpectedly, she carefully ate the bun while looking up and smiling.

His leaden-gray eyes were full of mischievous smiles.

"Grandpa Mo, instead of wasting your time, why don't you help me contact my grandparents so they won't worry about me?"

"Okay, I understand, Miss."

Mo Hong nodded and quickly left.

Meanwhile, at the press conference, the reporters were arranged in an orderly manner, while Ruan's father and Ruan Tiantian, who looked somewhat ridiculous with bandages wrapped around their bodies, sat at the top.

The announcement was a bit rushed, which led to the somewhat awkward situation, but Mr. Ruan was still eager to announce Ruan Tiantian's status as the heir.

The press conference was a lively affair, and the broadcast footage performed well. Meanwhile, in a van outside the venue, Cheng Yue handed the live stream content on a tablet to Luo Yuming.

"Brother Luo, it seems the Ruan family has really changed."

"The eldest daughter of the Ruan family..."

Looking at Ruan Tiantian's appearance on the screen, Luo Yuming chuckled meaningfully, "What a pity, her ambition is too obvious. She doesn't deserve that title—how is the Ruan family doing?"

“Right now, Ruan Qingan is the second young lady, and Ruan Tiantian and she share the inheritance rights. Moreover, as things stand, it is clear that Ruan Tiantian has a greater chance of winning the subsequent battle for Hongyuan Group.”

"There's been no word from Ruan Qing'an yet, but it's possible that the rumors are true. She's currently under house arrest and has no right to interfere in these matters."

Cheng Yue paused, then sighed: "I'm afraid if things continue like this, by the time Ruan Qing'an reappears in the Ruan family, Ruan Tiantian will have completely taken control of the Ruan family."

Luo Yuming shook his head slightly: "That young lady isn't the type to let them continue like this. Let's go to the Ruan family."

"Brother Luo, what are we doing at the Ruan family's place?"

Luo Yuming remained silent for a moment, then turned off the live stream. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and a barely perceptible dark green rippled within them, like a wild beast lurking in the shadows.

He chuckled: "Let's pick someone up, let's drive."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yue looked completely bewildered.
