Chapter 846 Heading to City C (3rd Update)
When she first opened the Daxian store, He Siwen had once, jealously competing for her affection, run into the store and caused a scene. She seemed to have said something very important, which caused Ruan Qi to be upset and fall into a coma in the hospital. When she woke up, she had no memory of that incident.
Ruan Qi felt that the only things that could irritate her were those that happened ten years ago. He Siwen couldn't possibly know Jiang Chunian, so what she was talking about was most likely related to Xi Jiu.
Does He Siwen know that Xi Jiu was once a vegetable?
In order to confirm this, Ruan Qi decided to go to City C where the He family currently lives.
A few days later, the roadshow in City H ended, and Ruan Qi took Mo Lan on a plane to City C.
Ever since He Siwen caused a scene at the Daxian store, she and her parents have disappeared from the capital. After some investigation, Ruan Qi discovered that it was Xi Jiu who had driven the He family of three out of the capital.
Now, He Siwen and her family live in City C. City C is a small, underdeveloped city, a far cry from the imperial capital, where the powerful and wealthy abound. It's unknown why the He family chose to settle here.
At six o'clock in the evening, the plane landed at the airport. Ruan Qi and Mo Lan boarded the high-speed train to City C and didn't arrive at their destination until late at night.
It was already so late, so it was impossible to go to He's house. Ruan Qi and Mo Lan found a hotel to stay overnight. The next morning, they found He Siwen's home based on the address they had found.
Unexpectedly, He Siwen's home is not a mansion or a high-end residential area, but a dilapidated and shabby tube-shaped building.
Ruan Qi stood downstairs of the tube building and confirmed the address again and again before she had to believe that she had not found the wrong place.
"Why would the He family live in a tube-shaped building?" She found it incredible. "Even if Jiujiu drove them out of the imperial capital, wouldn't the He family still have so much savings and assets?"
Mo Lan: "When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down."
The He family did have a lot of savings and assets. But He Siwen had offended the Xi family, and her aunt, He Yun, the third wife of the Cheng family, didn't care about her. Without a backer, who would dare to risk offending the Xi family and cooperate with the He family?
Of course, even if the big family businesses didn't dare to cooperate with the He family, the He family wouldn't be so poor with their assets. The reason why the He family fell into such a miserable state was because all the savings of the three members of the He family were defrauded.
When they left the capital, they didn't settle directly in City C. They first went to another first-tier city, hoping to find a good investment and use their assets to turn things around. The idea was good, but the He family overestimated their abilities.
The reason He Siwen's parents had been able to thrive in the imperial capital was entirely due to the wealth accumulated by their ancestors and He Yun's marriage to the Cheng family. They didn't need to know how to run a business; they could just invest with the Cheng family and make a fortune.
Now that He Yun no longer cared about them, they couldn't follow the Cheng family in investing. He Siwen's parents were useless. They lost everything they invested in, and in the end, all their hundreds of millions of dollars in assets were swindled away by the scammers.
Therefore, the family had no choice but to move to a tube-shaped building in a small town in the 18th tier.
Ruan Qi didn't know what the He family had been through, but she could guess a bit. She truly believed that the three members of the He family were talented. With hundreds of millions in assets, even if they lived off their savings, they could have lived off it for several lifetimes, yet they had ended up living in a tube-shaped building!
He is indeed not an ordinary person.
Ruan Qi sighed and felt emotional in her heart. She put away her phone and went up the stairs with Mo Lan.
He Siwen lived on the top floor of a tube-shaped building. The hallway was a mess, with all kinds of things scattered on the floor. Ruan Qi carefully navigated around the obstacles and finally found the He family's house number at the end of the hallway.
Mo Lan walked forward and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Suddenly, the sound of dishes breaking came through the shabby and thin door.
"What are you doing!" A woman's scream pierced the silence of the tube-shaped building. "Drinking again! All you do every day is drink! Are you a loser? What else can you do besides drinking?"
Ruan Qi and Mo Lan looked at each other, not knowing whether they should knock on the door.
At this time, the female voice sounded again.
"And you, did you take the money in my wallet?! That's the money I worked so hard to earn at the construction site, what did you do with it?! He Siwen, I'm asking you a question! Are you going to use my money to fool around again?! Where are you going! Stop right there! You——"
The door was suddenly opened with a bang.
Ruan Qi and Mo Lan outside the door were startled, took a step back cautiously, and looked up at the person who opened the door.
She had long wine-red hair, heavy makeup, and revealing clothing, with her breasts bulging out. Ruan Qi stared at the person for several seconds before barely recognizing her.
It turned out to be He Siwen!
How could this woman have changed so much? Was she still the same spoiled, willful, arrogant young lady?
Ruan Qi's eyes widened in shock. When He Siwen saw her, her expression also changed drastically.
"Ruan Qi? Why are you here?!"
The reason why the He family has fallen into its current situation, apart from the fact that the three members of the He family are stupid and useless, the most fundamental reason is that they offended Ruan Qi.
If it weren't for Ruan Qi, the He family wouldn't be targeted by Xi Jiu, wouldn't be driven out of the imperial capital, and He Siwen wouldn't have become what she is today.
Therefore, the person He Siwen hated most in her life was Ruan Qi. She blamed Ruan Qi for the downfall of the He family, completely forgetting how she had caused such a scene at the Daxian store that Ruan Qi fell into a coma and was hospitalized, and she almost died.
He Siwen stared at Ruan Qi hatefully, her eyes seemed to be filled with poison.
"What are you doing here? Are you here to see how miserable I am?! Are you satisfied with my current state?!"
He Siwen's uncontrolled scream attracted He's mother out of the house.
He's mother originally wanted to catch He Siwen to pay back the money, but just as she was about to speak, she saw Ruan Qi standing outside the door.
He's mother's face suddenly turned pale.
"Why are you here? Is Master Xi here? Is he coming to kill us?!"
The He family's fear of Xi Jiu was ingrained in their bones. Seeing Ruan Qi, He's mother thought Xi Jiu had also arrived and immediately screamed in panic.
Ruan Qi was afraid that her screams would attract the attention of other residents, so she rushed forward, covered her mouth and dragged her into the house.
When He Siwen saw Ruan Qi attack without warning, she knew he had bad intentions. Without a second thought, she turned and tried to run out.
Mo Lan stopped her in time.
With a force, he put her arms behind her back and pushed her into the house.
The worn door slammed shut, Mo Lan locked the door, and then threw the He mother and daughter onto the only broken sofa in the room.
Ruan Qi looked around the room, his eyes swept over He's father who was lying on the bed drunk, and finally looked at the mother and daughter of the He family, with the corners of his lips raised.
"Don't be nervous, you two. I have no ill intentions in coming here today. As long as you answer my questions obediently, I promise you will see the sun tomorrow."
By the way, this book should be finished in twenty days. That's the main story, but there's still a lot of extra chapters to write. The tentative plans for the extra chapters are: after the official announcement, Soft Baby's career peaks, a couple variety show, a proposal and marriage, and raising a child. The ending won't be a mess, and all the necessary holes will be filled. Once this book is almost done, I'll start the next one. Now that I'm back in form, I'm going to make up for the missed opportunities of the past few years. No more rest, just get started.
See you all tomorrow.
