In the living room of the Lu family villa, Feng Zhihui sat on the sofa with a cold face. Her undisguised annoyance revealed her true feelings.
Opposite her was a somewhat dark-skinned and chubby girl. Actually, upon closer inspection, her features were quite nice, the kind of bright and elegant appearance. However, because her skin was too dark and she was a bit chubby, the pink dress she was wearing didn't suit her, making her appearance seem rather unremarkable.
Although the two were sitting opposite each other, the atmosphere was very stiff. Feng Zhihui looked down on the other girl without even trying to hide it, and the girl was probably impatient with her and was playing with her phone.
This did not make Feng Zhihui happier; on the contrary, she became even angrier, secretly cursing that he was indeed a nouveau riche child with no manners.
She took a deep breath and coughed heavily.
The girl was staring intently at her phone. Suddenly, she saw something that made her look surprised, and she started tapping the screen repeatedly.
Feng Zhihui felt a tightness in her chest, unable to exhale or exhale. She picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip, and then slammed the cup down on the coffee table, angrily saying, "Wang Ma! Wang Ma? Where did you go? What kind of person are you? The tea has gone cold and you didn't even bother to reheat it. Is this how I taught you to treat guests? Where did you learn such manners? It's outrageous!"
The nanny rushed out of the kitchen, saying repeatedly, "I'm sorry, madam, I'll bring up fresh tea right away."
As she spoke, she placed the teapot and teacups on the tray. Her hand touched the inside of the cup, and the warmth made her pause. She said, "How could hot tea that was just poured get cold so quickly?"
It was clearly inappropriate to openly insult someone, so they used her as a scapegoat. The nanny lowered her head and silently carried the tray away.
Unfortunately, Feng Zhihui's efforts were in vain; Miss Shui, sitting in front of her, didn't even lift her eyelids. This little show couldn't move her.
Feng Zhihui felt a lump in her throat, unable to vent her anger. However, Lu Minghai had repeatedly warned her not to say anything inappropriate in front of her son's girlfriend. She endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold back any longer.
“Miss Shui, my Siyuan is not like a carefree girl like you who just follows celebrities and goes shopping. He has to help his father manage such a big company, so he is very busy.”
Miss Shui finally looked up, took her eyes off her phone, and gave Feng Zhihui two points.
“I know, he always says he’s busy. I try to contact him, but he’s always busy.” Miss Shui shrugged indifferently. “But I have something to say to him today, so I have to see him.”
Feng Zhihui curled her lips into a sneer, her eyes filled with disdain: "Siyuan may not be back today. Just tell me what you want to say, and I'll pass it on to him."
From the very beginning, she looked down on her son's so-called girlfriend, thinking she came from a poor background, was a nouveau riche, and had no manners.
That's not all; her own qualities are lacking too much. She's so unattractive that it hurts to look at her. Her son is truly pitiful.
Miss Shui smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, I have nothing to say to you."
She had tried to get along well with her boyfriend's mother before, but she later discovered that the woman looked down on her at all.
Miss Shui was very confused. Putting aside her relationship with Lu Siyuan, she was also a shareholder of Haiming Group, holding 10% of the shares, which was quite a lot. Yet this Mrs. Lu was unwilling to even give her a break.
Feng Zhihui was stunned for a moment before she understood the meaning behind her words, and immediately exploded: "Shui Xinxin, how can you talk like that? Is this how your father raised you? Where is your manners?"
Good heavens, is her son really going to marry a woman like that? Even her name is so vulgar, she exudes the air of a nouveau riche, and there's no way to wash it off.
When her parents were mentioned, Shui Xinxin couldn't keep up her smile. Her mother died early, and she was raised by her father, with whom she had a very deep bond.
She had originally thought that since they were planning to break up, at least their last meeting shouldn't be too ugly, but this Mrs. Lu was really going too far.
"You really know how to raise your children. One son can only protect the family business by selling his body and himself, while the other is vain, materialistic, and greedy. Not only does he cheat on his wife, but he's also heading down the path of crime. You really know how to raise your sons."
"You, you..." Feng Zhihui was so angry that she couldn't speak, her finger pointing at her, trembling uncontrollably.
"What do you mean, 'you'? Didn't your mother tell you that pointing at people like that is very rude? You have no manners!"
Shui Xinxin used to give in to her and never let Feng Zhihui see her arguing skills. If it weren't for her father forbidding her from swearing, she could have verbally abused this woman until she passed out.
Feng Zhihui was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to extend or retract her hand. Her trembling intensified, and she nearly fainted on the spot.
"Oh, I forgot, you also have an exceptionally outstanding son. But it's quite a coincidence that Lord Chongming was abandoned by your family when he was young, yet he grew up to be so excellent. This shows how important upbringing is!"
That's right, Shui Xinxin is also a fan of Ruan Bei and one of the branch presidents of his fan club.
"Then he's my son too! I gave birth to him!" Feng Zhihui struggled in desperation; this was the only way she could comfort herself.
Shui Xinxin sneered: "You have the nerve to say that, but then again, that's all the credit you've got."
"He's unfilial!" Feng Zhihui said bitterly.
"Pah!" Shui Xinxin couldn't hold back any longer: "You shameless old hag, how dare you say that? Your family just wants Lu Sibai to help you climb up to the Qin family, don't you?"
Thinking of the news she had just seen, she felt a surge of joy: "I have some good news for you."
She quickly pulled up the trending topics she had just been browsing and shoved her phone in front of Feng Zhihui: "See? Look closely, who is the real Crown Prince of Qin? It's Lord Zhulong, you know him, right?"
Feng Zhihui dredged up a distant memory: the first time she met Ruan Bei, she was so angry with him that she fainted. At that time, there was a handsome young man standing next to him, who was said to be his childhood friend and an orphan without parents.
When she returned, she secretly thought that this was the difference between different growing environments. Si Bai could grow up with the future heir of the Qin family, while Ruan Bei could only have an orphan childhood sweetheart.
And what was the result?
Qin Shen has been stripped of all his glory and is currently still abroad, reportedly just an ordinary working man.
The person she disregarded, who she never even gave a second glance to, was actually the real Crown Prince of Qin!
"They..." There was a picture of a marriage certificate on the phone.
"They got married! The Qin Group held a lottery to celebrate and gave away a red envelope with 999,999 yuan. It seems that the Qin family head really likes Lord Chongming!"
Who wouldn't like Lord Chongming? Shui Xinxin not only forwarded the lottery but also posted a lottery Weibo herself, which can be considered as giving Ruan Bei a happy gift.
get married……
Feng Zhihui's mind was buzzing, her vision was blurry and filled with strange, piercing sounds, and Shui Xinxin's voice seemed to be coming from a great distance.
"Hey? What's wrong with you? I didn't touch you, don't try to scam me!"
"Mom? Mom, what's wrong?" Just then, Lu Siyuan and Lu Minghai returned. Lu Siyuan rushed over and caught Feng Zhihui, who was about to fall.
What did you do to my mother?
Even if you're planning to break up, hearing this is infuriating enough.
"I didn't do anything!" Shui Xinxin shouted. "I called you and said I needed to talk to you, otherwise I would have left long ago. Your mother insisted on causing trouble for me and even scolded me. I just showed her today's trending topics. Is there a problem with that?"
The moment she mentioned trending topics, both Lu Minghai and Lu Siyuan turned pale.
Lu Siyuan was alright; although he felt bad, he still wished Ruan Bei well. Lu Minghai stared at the Qin Group's reply, sitting in his office for a long time, unable to recover; he was too heartbroken.
"I have something to do..." Lu Siyuan said, sounding somewhat unsure.
He was indeed busy, but more than that, he didn't want to see Shui Xinxin. He really didn't like her. Seeing her reminded him of being forced into a relationship with her, like selling himself into slavery, which was too humiliating.
"You're busy, anyway, this is the last time I'll contact you."
Lu Siyuan was stunned, and Lu Minghai also looked over in surprise. Shui Xinxin threw out all the words she had been holding back for a long time: "Lu Siyuan, I'm telling you, I want to break up with you. We're officially breaking up from today. I won't contact you again. If we happen to run into each other, just pretend we don't know each other. If your mother says anything nonsense to me again, don't blame me for being impolite. I won't give in to her anymore."
"etc……"
"Wait my ass! There are plenty of handsome men out there. I'm not putting up with this anymore!"
Shui Xinxin strode out, but stopped halfway and turned around: "Oh right, there's something I forgot to tell you. The major shareholder of Haiming Group that you don't know about is Ruan Bei. It's said that the shares were given to him by the Qin family head."
Lu Minghai felt a tightness in his chest and a wave of dizziness.
A few days later, Ruan Bei unexpectedly learned some news: "Lu Minghai and Feng Zhihui have divorced?"
"That's right. I heard that Feng Zhihui was practically kicked out of the house with nothing, and she got very little. You know the situation of the Feng family, right? Her parents are no longer here. Because of the recording incident at the engagement banquet of Feng's son, her brother and sister-in-law have a lot of opinions about her and won't let her into the house."
Ruan Bei paused for a moment, then shook his head: "Lu Siyuan should take care of it."
Anyway, it has nothing to do with him anymore.
He heard about it and forgot about it immediately, not taking it to heart at all, because he had more important things to do.
He the ghost messenger told him that Niu Niu had been reincarnated not long ago and told him about the reincarnation, asking him to go and see.
Ruan Bei and Qin Gu followed the clues given by He Guicha and went to the maternity ward of a hospital. In the ward, a woman was breastfeeding her baby, and a tall man was standing next to her, also holding a small baby in his arms.
The woman in the next bed said, "You guys are really kind. How can someone be like this, running away after giving birth?"
The new mother, who was breastfeeding, said gently, "She's too young; she's still a child herself."
Ruan Bei and Qin Gu saw the breastfeeding inside from the doorway, so they turned away without going in, but they heard everything they heard.
Based on what He Guicha told them, the girl the woman in labor was holding was Xiao Niu Niu. Her mother was a girl who became pregnant out of wedlock before she was even an adult. She was about to give birth and was paralyzed on the roadside when someone brought her here. Before the medical and surgical fees were settled, she ran away.
The woman who was breastfeeding gave birth at the same time as the girl. After hearing about this, she saw that the baby was crying pitifully, so she helped feed the baby a little.
Ruan Bei waited until she finished feeding him before knocking on the door and going in with Qin Gu. He pulled down his mask, and his face was quite famous, which surprised everyone in the ward.
"Sorry to bother you."
"No problem, no problem. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Hey, could it be that there's a ghost here?!"
Ruan Bei was both amused and exasperated, and quickly explained, "No, it's no problem. I'm here to take care of some personal business."
He walked to the bedside. The little girl was still a girl in this life, but she looked different from her previous life. However, when she pursed her lips, you could still vaguely see her dimples.
He had just walked over when the little baby seemed to sense his presence and kept stretching his little arms toward him.
Ruan Bei reached out, and his small hand immediately landed on it, loosely grasping his fingers and refusing to let go.
"This child is related to you..."
"There was some connection in our past lives." Now that everyone knows about the underworld and reincarnation, some things are easier to explain.
If he doesn't explain himself clearly, people might think he's done something immoral.
The others were hearing about this for the first time, and they were all incredibly curious.
Ruan Bei said, "I will complete the adoption procedures as soon as possible. Could you please look after the child for the next few days?"
Giving money directly wasn't appropriate, so Ruan Bei took a few amulets and talismans for protection and warding off evil.
He offered money, but they refused. These talismans are so rare; you can't even buy them. Most of what's sold outside is fake.
The new mother and her husband gratefully accepted it, while the new mother and her family members who were watching the commotion were filled with envy and jealousy, and they also felt very regretful.
The nurses had asked her for help before, but she refused, citing insufficient breast milk.
There's no point in him staying here now, and it's inconvenient, so Ruan Bei gently pulled his finger out. The little baby pouted, as if he was about to cry.
Ruan Bei stroked her soft baby hair with her fingers, and the little baby yawned and fell asleep.
As he turned to leave, his gaze inadvertently swept over the baby in the new mother's husband's arms, and Ruan Bei paused in his steps.
Is this your baby?
The baby boy in the man's arms had slightly yellowish hair and typical puppy-dog eyes that looked innocent and docile when he looked at people.
"Yes, mine is too. It's quite a coincidence that these two children were born around the same time, mine was just two minutes later."
Ruan Bei smiled, her eyes crinkling: "It is quite a coincidence."
