Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Inhumane Guy
Chapter 31
Ruan Yan knew that she had a twin sister before she lost her memory.
"Really? I have a twin sister?" Ruan Yan's eyes widened in surprise. "Then where is she now?"
Wen Ying sighed: "She went missing when she was very young, and there has been no news of her since."
Ruan Yan was very curious: "Then how did she get lost?"
Wen Ying still glossed over the details: "I'm not very clear about the details, I just know she was only a few months old at the time."
"She's so young, no wonder she has no memory at all..." Ruan Yan murmured.
Wen Ying didn't hear clearly: "What memory?"
"I mean, if she still has any memories, she should come to find us when she grows up. There has been no news for so many years, which means she herself has no recollection of it at all," said Ruan Yan.
Wen Ying put down her chopsticks, feeling slightly melancholy.
She thought of her other sister, with whom she had only spent a short time. She had big eyes, a small mouth, and was soft and adorable. No matter who teased her, she would laugh heartily...
I wonder if she is doing well now?
Ruan Yan lowered her slender eyelashes for a moment, then raised them again: "Did our family still look for her later?"
"Of course we have. We've never given up searching for her, but unfortunately, we don't have any leads at all," Wen Ying said regretfully. "Before he passed away, Dad was still thinking about this and hoped I could fulfill his wish."
Ruan Yan buried her face in the bowl and drank soup without saying anything else.
*
These past few days, Wen Ying's words kept replaying in Ruan Yan's mind.
I was listless at work and even felt a little uneasy on my way home from get off work.
When she entered the subway station, someone suddenly called her.
"Is it you?" A thin girl walked up to her with a happy face.
Ruan Yan didn't understand what was going on.
"Did you help someone who fainted from hypoglycemia in that restroom over there two days ago?" the girl gestured. "That person was me!"
Ruan Yan then remembered: "So it's you."
The girl said excitedly: "Yes, it's me!"
Ruan Yan asked: "Are you feeling better now?"
"Much better," the other person replied. "I didn't have time to say thank you that day because you left."
Ruan Yan shook her head: "I'm glad you're okay. You're welcome."
The girl's name is Xu Jia. She just graduated this year and also works nearby.
"Ruan Yan, thank you for your immediate help that day. If it weren't for you, I would have been really scared to death in this emergency."
As she spoke, she took out the candy Ruan Yan had given her last time from her bag: "I bought a new box at the supermarket. Here, it's for you."
"No need, take it with you. My box of candy was given to me by a colleague, and there's less than half of it left." Ruan Yan stuffed the candy back into her pocket. "Take it with you in case something similar happens next time."
"Oh, you're so good. You know, I've been looking for you here for two days. My mother told me that if I find you, I must treat you to a meal to express my gratitude!" Xu Jia looked innocent.
Ruan Yan waved her hand: "No need, I just helped out a little."
"Yes, yes. My mother said that we should be grateful. It's just a small favor for you, but for me, you saved my life!" He was indeed a college graduate, and his eyes were full of clarity.
Ruan Yan was a little amused and said, "Really, that's not necessary. Tell your mother that I received your thanks."
It looked like she had just started working, and Ruan Yan didn't want her to spend any money.
"Then...then I can buy you a cup of coffee, right?"
Looking at the other person's sincere and expectant eyes, Ruan Yan finally nodded: "Okay then."
Ruan Yan deliberately chose an affordable coffee shop. It was time to get off work. Xu Jia looked at the shop full of people and immediately shook his head.
"Let's go to the 'Manfei' shop in front. It has a good environment and not too many people there."
Ruan Yan knew this store and had been there twice with Zhao Tian and Liu Mengmeng. Both the decoration and quality were targeted at the white-collar group, and the prices were relatively high.
Xu Jia seemed to see her concerns and winked at her: "Let's go, it's okay, I have their coupons."
Xu Jia is full of energy. Even after working a whole day, he is still full of energy and has endless things to say.
I learned from her that she is currently working as a junior assistant in a law firm, doing chores like drafting documents and filing materials every day. Although the work is boring, she is quite happy.
Ruan Yan admired her mentality. As they were chatting, they noticed that it suddenly started to rain outside the window.
"Do you have an umbrella?" Xu Jia asked.
"Yes, what about you?"
"I'll bring it too."
When they walked out of the coffee shop, it was already dark and the street lights gradually came on.
Passersby without umbrellas ran on the street with their arms raised above their heads.
On the road, various vehicles are passing through the flashing traffic lights.
At this time and it’s raining, there should be traffic jams again.
Xu Jia got off three stops before her.
When I got out of the subway, the rain was still falling gently.
Ruan Yan raised her palm and caught some drizzle in mid-air.
She suddenly remembered that it was also a rainy night.
On the night when she first met Lu Pei——
At that time, she finally found the location of Ruan Mansion based on the address information.
She stood in the doorway and looked up.
Behind a black iron gate, one can glimpse a corner of the imposing villa to the right rear, with its pink walls, black tiles, and upturned corners and eaves.
In the night, there is a circle of soft and delicate light.
The street lamp next to the stone pillar at the gate is brighter than the moon hanging high in the sky.
What a beautiful house.
She sighed in her heart.
It was less than 8:30 in the evening, and the surroundings were quiet and deserted.
She hesitated at the door for a long time, but saw no one coming in or out of the house.
The question is whether to ring the doorbell directly or continue waiting for someone to show up.
Just as she was hesitating, there was a sudden noise behind her.
Turning around, I saw a black car slowly driving towards me.
She subconsciously hid behind the bushes nearby.
The car drove closer and stopped a few meters in front of Ruan Mansion.
She reached out and pushed down some of the leaves of the bushes in front of her, looking around cautiously.
The car was parked not far from the entrance of Ruan Mansion. The other party should be someone from the Ruan family, right?
She guessed.
That would be a good opportunity for her to wait for the other party to get off the car and then go out.
But the people in the car didn't get out for a long time, and no one knew what they were doing.
She stomped her calves, which were bitten by mosquitoes, from time to time, and became a little anxious as she waited.
At this time, it started to drizzle again, and it seemed to be getting heavier.
She was really impatient to wait, so she made up her mind and just walked out.
She slowly walked around the front of the car from the back, and the headlights illuminated the traces of falling rain and fog, which was chaotic.
She raised one arm, lightly supported her forehead with her fingers, and with a slightly staggering step, she acted out the dizziness to perfection.
So when she was near the front of the car, she swayed, spun, and fell down very lightly and freely, giving the most wonderful acting performance of her life.
Lying on the ground, she soon heard the sound of a car door opening and footsteps coming towards her.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
With her eyes closed, she heard a man's voice: "How are you?"
The cold voice was like a chilly wind blowing past my ears.
She lifted her eyelids slightly and saw a face with overly clear outlines through the hazy rain.
There was no expression on his face, his brow bones were sharply curved, and his jaw angle was clearly defined like a sharp piece of ceramic.
With such a charming face and an expression that is colder than the cold wind in December, it is obvious that he is an inhuman guy.
So it's him, right?
"I..." She moved her lips weakly, unable to form a complete sentence.
But the dramatic scene she imagined of being recognized did not happen. The other party just looked at her without reacting.
Is it because it is too dark and he can't see clearly?
She tried to raise her face again and said vaguely: "I...it's me..."
The other party frowned directly, and his expression seemed a little impatient.
She continued to moan breathlessly, her arms outstretched tremblingly: "It's me... I..."
Heartless man, it's me, it's me! Are you nearsighted and forgot to wear your contact lenses? Please open your eyes as bright as copper bells and see me clearly!
If I lie down any longer, I might not be able to hold on. After all, the wet ground is quite cold!
After a moment, the other party spoke: "If you need anything, I can call 120 for you."
ah?
Such a formulaic and indifferent tone?
Then, he said coldly, "Or do you need me to call the police more? I just recorded the whole process in my car..."
?
The more she listened, the more something seemed to be wrong. Looking at his slightly disgusted expression, she suddenly understood that he thought she was a scammer?
It seemed that he really didn't recognize her face.
I made a mistake in judgment...
Feeling guilty, she had to change the plot.
"I... I'm from the Ruan family, please help me..." She raised her hand weakly and pointed in the direction of the Ruan Mansion.
Fine rain mixed with cold moonlight fell. She lay on the ground and slowly raised her wet eyelashes to see the pair of obsidian black eyes in front of her staring at her.
Seems to be examining something.
The dense and tiny droplets of cold water were ruthlessly crushed between her eyebrows.
The man's expression was even colder to the bone than the night raindrops falling on his skin.
That night, Lu Peishi's gloomy and cold expression made her, who had seen many storms and waves, shudder...
