Summer vacation is coming soon.
Driven by her admiration for Ruan Chen, Ruan Yu'er's grades, which had consistently ranked outside the top 50, surged to the top ten.
Ruan Luo's middle school entrance exam results were abysmal, but he didn't care, since Ruan Zhengde had plenty of money anyway.
As for Ruan Chen, she showed extreme imbalance in her studies after enrolling in Huating Academy. Although she could get close to full marks in math, physics, and chemistry, she always hovered on the verge of failing in Chinese and English. As a result, her grades were not very outstanding.
But Ruan Zhengde didn't care about his two daughters' grades.
He hired a full-time tutor for Ruan Luo and placed him under house arrest. As for Ruan Yu'er, Ruan Zhengde contacted a convent in England for her.
Although it is called a convent school, it accepts noblewomen from all over the world, or women who are preparing to marry into nobility.
The content of the learning is self-evident.
When Ruan Yu'er learned of this news, she was full of ambition and making a summer study plan for herself.
Ruan Zhengde pulled out Ruan Yuer's densely packed schedule: swimming, tennis, finance, currency, financial management...
“What’s the use of girls learning these things?” Ruan Zhengde frowned. “Didn’t you keep saying you wanted to go to England for vacation last year? Dad contacted a school there for you. Go and learn some manners, and treat it as a trip.”
After saying that, Ruan Zhengde tore up Ruan Yu'er's long-planned scheme and said lightly, "I'll give you a week. Next Monday, your nanny will accompany you."
Ruan Yu'er cried for a day and a night. Although Ruan Chen felt sorry for her, she didn't want to interfere too much.
She had already given Ruan Yu'er a hint.
If Ruan Yu'er remains so weak, even if she can help once, she cannot help forever.
Tears are the most useless thing.
Ruan Yu'er tried to win Ye Huanhuan over for a long time, but it all came to nothing.
"Mom also went to study when she was young, it won't do you any harm." Although Ye Huanhuan didn't want to suppress her daughter's nature, she also knew that this was Ruan Yu'er's fate. She had also rebelled against the Ye family before, but it all came to nothing in the end.
Sacrificing a girl's life for the sake of the family's interests seems like a worthwhile deal no matter how you look at it.
Perhaps because Ruan Yu'er cried so much, she kept squeezing her eyes while eating breakfast the next day.
Ye Huanhuan was the first to notice that something was wrong with her daughter.
"Yu'er, are your eyes bothering you?"
"I can't see things clearly."
Ye Huanhuan held up one finger and asked, "Yu'er, how many is this?"
Ruan Yu'er had always had excellent eyesight. She was sitting at the same table as Ye Huanhuan, but after looking for a long time, she hesitated and said, "Three?"
"Yu'er, don't think that this means you won't have to go to England." Ruan Zhengde didn't even spare a glance for his youngest daughter.
Ye Huanhuan sighed, "Eat quickly, and Mom will take you to see it after you finish eating."
When Ruan Zhengde rushed to the hospital with Ruan Chen, Ye Huanhuan was crying while hugging Ruan Yu'er.
"With corneal disease in both eyes, the doctor said that if a suitable donor cannot be found within a month, Yu'er will go completely blind."
Ruan Chen's heart skipped a beat.
She knew why Ruan Zhengde had brought her along.
For once, Ruan Zhengde lowered his stance in front of Ruan Chen. In front of Ruan Chen and Ruan Yu'er, he half-squatted in front of her and said kindly, "Chenchen, can Daddy talk to you about something?"
Ruan Chen felt his hair stand on end and his whole body tense up.
Ye Huanhuan tugged at Ruan Zhengde, "Zhengde, Chenchen is only twelve years old!"
It would have been better if Ye Huanhuan hadn't said that, because Ruan Chen suddenly remembered that tomorrow was her thirteenth birthday.
"Yu'er has always treated you like a sister. Now she needs one of your eyes. Chenchen, you won't refuse, will you?"
Ruan Chen knew that her scumbag father was only superficially seeking her opinion.
He could tie himself to the operating table if he wanted to.
"Dad, I'm so scared. Can I go back and think about it?"
“Then Dad will wait for your reply tomorrow,” Ruan Zhengde said, patting his eldest daughter’s head affectionately. “Don’t worry, your sister only needs one of your eyes, so it won’t have a big impact on her eyesight. Dad will make it up to you in the future.”

After returning home, Ruan Chen handed Ruan Wenlou a list.
"Grandpa Wenlou, please help me purchase everything, the sooner the better."
Ruan Wenlou looked at the electronic components. Although he was very curious about what his young mistress wanted to do, the butler's sense of propriety prevented him from asking.
Half an hour later, the things Ruan Chen needed appeared on his desk.
A moment later, the pile of parts transformed into two exquisite instruments.
Ruan Chen made some adjustments, confirmed that the sound was working properly, and smiled with satisfaction.
Ye Huanhuan was in Ruan Yu'er's bedroom, while Ruan Zhengde returned to the company.
Ruan Chen quietly slipped into Ruan Zhengde's bedroom and study, and placed the two instruments in a hidden corner.
Not long after she returned to her room, the gray-haired housekeeper also went to both rooms.
When Ruan Wenlou saw these components, he knew they were listening devices, but he thought it was just a genius girl's idle research. He never expected that she would be so audacious as to use them on Ruan Zhengde!
Ruan Wenlou picked up the long hair that had fallen on the ground, carefully put the things that Ruan Chen had accidentally moved back to their original positions, wiped the wall that Ruan Chen had dirtied, and then moved the two little things to a more hidden location.
He entered the Ruan family at the age of sixteen and served them for forty-two years. No one knew this hillside villa better than him.
After dinner, Ruan Chen locked herself in her room and put on her headphones.
Although the static was a bit harsh, the sound was very clear, and Ruan Chen was very satisfied.
“Zhengde, I’ve talked to Dad, and the Ye family is also trying to find a solution. We have a month, enough time to find a suitable donor for Yu’er,” Ye Huanhuan’s voice was hoarse from crying, but she still insisted on protecting Ruan Chen. “Chen’er is only twelve years old and so beautiful. Can you bear to do this to her?”
Ruan Zhengde sighed, "With Ruan Chen's face, he could fetch a good price even if he went blind, but Yu'er is a different story."
Ye Huanhuan gasped, "Didn't you say you only wanted one?"
Ruan Zhengde sneered, "Let's just appease her for now. To be honest, Yu'er's eye ailment came at a very opportune time. Ever since Ruan Chen came back, I've been having some doubts. Who knows if she has any other intentions towards our Ruan family?"
"Ruan Chen may not say it, but she's always been scheming, and besides, she comes from a poor neighborhood. I've told you about her mother's affairs before. Cong Rao has been involved in those shady dealings, and even I fell for her tricks. Who knows how much of it her daughter has learned?"
"Now is a golden opportunity. With her blind, she will naturally give up any improper thoughts. From now on, our Ruan family can do whatever we want with her. As for women, all they need to do is serve men."
