With the bankruptcy liquidation of the Shaw family business, Shao Hanjiang was left penniless overnight and burdened with huge debts.
He went from being a domineering CEO to a homeless dog.
He wanted to make a comeback, but he encountered setbacks at every turn. Without the protagonist's halo, he was just an ordinary man.
He vented all his frustration and anger on Ruan Xue, constantly beating and verbally abusing her, and torturing her relentlessly in bed.
The barren and crude material conditions, the heavy debt, and the hopeless future all weighed heavily on them, making it hard for them to breathe.
Ruan Xue and Ruan Qiuqiu, pampered by Qin Yu, never lifted a finger and couldn't stand such a life.
Ruan Qiuqiu threw away the steamed bun and cried, "Waaah, Daddy's a big bad guy! Mommy, let's go find Qin Yu's daddy. I don't want to eat this steamed bun!"
Ruan Xue quickly covered his mouth and looked at Shao Hanjiang in horror.
Just days after going bankrupt, Shao Hanjiang turned into a gloomy and violent psychopath.
Upon hearing Ruan Qiuqiu's words, he grabbed her and slapped her across the face: "You little beast, look carefully and see who your father is."
"Qiuqiu... don't hit the child." Ruan Xue rushed over to stop her.
Shao Hanjiang grabbed her by the neck and threw her to the ground, kicking and cursing her: "You want to go find him too, don't you? You bitch, you ruined me and now you want to just walk away?"
"Didn't you say you loved me and would be with me no matter what? Now you want to run away because I'm broke? Let me tell you, no way. You'll die with me."
Shao Hanjiang only let Ruan Xue go after she knelt down and begged for mercy.
Ruan Xue burst into tears; she couldn't go on like this for another day.
Qiuqiu is right. She should go find Qin Yu. Qin Yu loves her so much, he definitely won't abandon her.
So, taking advantage of Shao Hanjiang's drunken sleep, Ruan Xue ran out with Qiuqiu.
After waiting for half a day at the entrance of the Qin Group, they finally managed to catch Qin Yu.
Qin Yu was excitedly reporting to his father how much money he had made from the Shaw Group in the past month when he didn't notice someone suddenly rushing over.
Upon hearing his name called, he suddenly turned around and saw a disheveled woman with a bruised and swollen face crying and throwing herself into his arms.
Qin Yu jumped in fright and shoved her away, yelling, "Holy crap, who are you?"
He quickly stepped in front of his elderly father, watching the crazy woman warily.
Ruan Xue burst into tears: "Brother Qin, it's me! It's me, Xiao Xue! Don't you recognize me?"
"Ruan Xue?"
Qin Yu then recognized who it was.
He was extremely surprised.
Although time is a cruel mistress, it's only been less than a month.
When Ruan Xue left him to go find Shao Hanjiang, she was still a pure and innocent young woman. She might have been a bit frivolous, but she was still a pretty and delicate-looking girl.
How did it turn into such a horrible state in just a few days?
"It's me, Brother Qin. You've been so good to me and Qiuqiu before, it's all my fault for not appreciating it. I know I was wrong, you'll forgive me, right?"
Qin Yu's first reaction was to protect Qi An and take a few steps back: "You, you don't come any closer! My dad's health has only just improved a little, he can't be exposed to bad luck again."
He then turned to Qi An and hurriedly explained, "Dad, I, Zun Du, didn't know she was coming. I haven't been in contact with her for a long time. Zun Du, ah, really."
Qin Yu has been doing a lot of live streaming lately and has learned a lot of internet slang.
Qi An chuckled and patted his head, saying, "Don't panic, Dad believes in you."
Qin Yu then looked at Ruan Xue and frowned, saying, "Miss Ruan, Shao Hanjiang has paid back all the money you owed me. We're even now. Don't come looking for me again."
Qin Yu thought to himself that the money tree at home had just been replaced with a new one, and he had just signed a contract for a big project.
This is the crucial time to make money; we can't afford to get caught up in bad luck.
Ruan Xue looked heartbroken: "No, I won't leave. You used to love me so much and treat me so well, how could you bear to abandon me? You're still angry, aren't you? That must be it."
As if grasping at a lifeline, Ruan Xue's face was full of hope: "You're angry that I chose Shao Hanjiang. You can punish me however you want, as long as you can forgive me, Brother Qin, you're all I have left."
Fu Gui was so impressed that he dropped his melon seeds: "Amazing, Sister An'an! I don't think even my beast skin is as thick-skinned as hers."
Qi An nodded in deep agreement: "Indeed, a normal person can't be the female lead."
Qin Yu felt nauseous.
He still can't understand why he was kicked in the head by a donkey before.
How could anyone like such a weirdo and even raise his son for him?
Qin Yu said helplessly, "Miss Ruan, I used to be sick, but you have to allow people to recover, right? Can't you find another sheep to pluck?"
"Although my family is wealthy and powerful, it can't withstand your mischief. I'm scared of you. Please have some mercy and let me go. Thank you."
Ruan Xue's hopes were dashed, and she burst into tears.
Qin Yu didn't want her anymore either.
Men are all unreliable. They said they would love and protect her for life, but they're all liars.
But right now, Qin Yu is her only hope, and she can't give up.
Ruan Xue rolled up her sleeves to show Qin Yu her injuries: "Shao Hanjiang is inhuman. He hit me and beat me with a ball. I really can't take it anymore. Please, save us."
Ruan An'an ran over from a distance, looked up at Qin Yu and cried out, "Dad, please take me and Mom home. I will listen to you from now on and never make you angry again."
Qin Yu waved his hands repeatedly, refusing three times: "I'm not your father, I don't have a son, don't call me that."
The two persisted, even attempting to pull Qin Yu away.
Qin Yu was at his wits' end and said wearily, "If you keep doing this, I'm calling the police."
Qi An was amused, pushed his son aside, and stood in front of Ruan Xue and Ruan Qiuqiu.
Ruan Xue was a little afraid of her, but she still pleaded, "Uncle Qin, it was all my fault before, please help us."
Qi An said earnestly, "Miss Ruan, how could you be so selfish? President Shao has given up everything for you, and you're leaving him now? Are you even human?"
Ruan Xue said aggrievedly, "...But he hit me."
Qi An: "Hitting is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love. He hits you because he loves you. Otherwise, why would he only hit you and not others?"
Ruan Xue: "..."
Qi An: "It's rare to find a good man who loves you like this. You should cherish him. Unlike my son, who only spent a mere 300 million on you and now wants it back. He doesn't deserve you."
Qin Yu: "..."
Didn't you tell me to ask for it?
Qi An concluded, "When it comes to life, you can't be too short-sighted. Think about it, maybe President Shao will make a comeback tomorrow. If you leave now, you'll regret it later."
Ruan Xue was bewildered; something seemed off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Qi An glanced at Ruan Qiuqiu again: "Boys should be raised in poverty. Only by enduring hardship can one rise above others. Be patient, your good fortune is yet to come."
Qin Yu secretly gave his father a thumbs up and whispered, "Dad, it's still you who can handle this."
The applause for the wealthy never stopped from beginning to end.
At this moment, Cheng Wei walked out of Qin's with her secretary, crossed her arms and stood in front of Ruan Xue, exuding an aura of immense power.
"Oh, isn't this Miss Ruan? Here to find a father for your child again."
"When you were doing prenatal education, did you tell the baby the story of the tadpole looking for its mother all the time? Is that why he calls everyone 'Dad'?"
The female secretary almost burst out laughing; what a steal!
Working with a beautiful female boss means more money, less work, and a better mood.
