"Mom, you're going to jail for illegal detention anyway, so please help me, okay?"
Ruan Yunhan knelt before Yu Wanqing, disregarding everything else, and looked at her with pleading eyes.
Yu Wanqing suddenly understood how her son felt when he fled China.
I've raised it for nineteen years... what kind of thing have I raised?
Ruan Zhengde, who was standing to the side, also spoke up, "Aqing, just admit it, you framed Yunhan, didn't you?"
Yu Wanqing was stunned and looked at Ruan Zhengde, "Zhengde, what are you saying?"
Ruan Zhengde avoided her gaze. "Yunhan already said that you gave her the medicine."
He looked at Ruan Yunhan and asked, "When your mother gave you the medicine, did she tell you what it was?"
Ruan Yunhan immediately understood Ruan Zhengde's meaning—he wanted to protect her!
She was valuable to him, and what could Yu Wanqing do besides embarrass him?
After Yu Wanqing returned, the Ye family and the Ruan family completely broke ties.
Recently, several companies owned by the Ruan family have been struggling due to pressure from the Ye family. It seems that the top spot on the rich list is about to change hands. If they could send Yu Wanqing to jail at this time, it might be able to ease the tension with the Ye family!
Ruan Yunhan stammered as she lied, "She didn't say anything! She didn't tell me it was medicine, she said it was candy... Yes, that's it! I thought it was real, so I put it in the wine so that Tao Ran would drink more!"
The disappointment and disbelief in Yu Wanqing's eyes gradually turned into despair.
The man she relied on, the daughter she trusted—they all betrayed her!
"Besides, I didn't want to go that night. I only approached Tao Ran because she forced me to!"
Ruan Yunhan's story became increasingly convincing, ultimately pinning everything on Yu Wanqing.
“Dad, you know that she went to discuss with the Xu family about giving Ruan Chen to them! She also told me to use this matter to my advantage, to have Ruan Chen introduce Tao Ran to me, and then send Ruan Chen away after it’s done!”
Ruan Zhengde nodded, looking at Yu Wanqing with disappointment, "Aqing, if Yunhan hadn't said it herself, I really wouldn't have thought you were this kind of person!"
Ruan Chen stood coldly to the side with his arms crossed, enjoying the unprecedented spectacle of the shameless father and daughter.
What's so special about Tao Ran, the Best Actor? Tomorrow, this couple might as well just go up there and take both the Best Actor and Best Actress trophies back to the Ruan family.
Yu Wanqing felt dizzy and nearly collapsed.
Ruan Zhengde pretended to help her up and whispered in her ear, "Aqing, as long as you take responsibility for this matter for Yunhan, I will definitely find a way to bring Qin'er back. The Ruan family will still be his! You know, I only trust Qin'er!"
Yu Wanqing thought to herself, "What can you do to get him back to China?"
But now, it seems she has no choice but to believe.
Because she had no other choice.
Seeing that Ruan Chen was determined to let Yun Han spend the rest of her life in prison, even if she denied everything and let Yun Han go to jail, would she have a good life outside?
I will also be driven away by Ruan Zhengde, and then I will be left to wander the streets, living a life worse than death!
Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope if Yunhan takes the blame.
Seeing that Yu Wanqing's attitude was softening, Ruan Yunhan added fuel to the fire, "Mom, Dad and I will definitely find a way to shorten your sentence! We'll see each other again soon!"
Yu Wanqing then looked at Ruan Chen—her eyes seemed to be expecting an impossible miracle.
"Chenchen, will you stay with us, mother and daughter? Yunhan and I will be your slaves for the rest of our lives!"
Ruan Chen's eyes held an unyielding, ancient ice.
"Chenchen, Auntie knows she was wrong, Auntie regrets it. Yunhan won't fight with you in this family anymore. Please let us go, okay?"
Ruan Chen gently tugged at the corners of her mouth, a cold smile appearing on her lips. "What do you regret? The thing you regret most is probably that night, when Ruan Qin didn't strangle me to death at the villa on the hillside, right? Or perhaps during the First Academy's assessment, those two good-for-nothings you raised didn't turn me into an idiot?"
"Chenchen," Yu Wanqing actually knelt down before her, "Just let us go, you can name your price, as long as Auntie can give it to you! Ruan Chen, you should know how painful it is for a child to lose their mother, you can't just let your own mother die young..."
Xu Xiaolan was startled the moment she heard those words.
She reached out to grab the slender figure beside her, but only managed to catch a wisp of wind.
Ruan Chen is too fast.
Yu Wanqing was sent flying backwards, crashing into the wall. Then, Ruan Chen's slender yet powerful fingers gripped her throat.
Her eyes held an unyielding murderous aura, and her body emanated an astonishing pressure that made it difficult for everyone in the small room to breathe.
Xu Xiaolan was almost certain... there was blood on her hands.
At one point in her life, killing was as commonplace to her as eating and drinking.
"Your good son wanted to kill me in the same way back then... How did that feel?" Ruan Chen leaned close to her ear, his breath as cold as ice, devoid of any human emotion.
Xu Xiaolan wanted to remind Ruan Chen not to act impulsively, but the next second, Ruan Chen had already let go of her hand.
The chilling killing intent that had just emanated from her seemed to be just an illusion; in an instant, she reverted to her lazy yet indifferent demeanor.
Of course, she wouldn't kill Yu Wanqing—she wanted to wish her a long and healthy life so that she could experience, bit by bit, the feeling of being betrayed by her closest person during her endless prison life.
She lazily pulled out a tissue from the table and wiped the sole of the shoe that had just kicked Yu Wanqing.
dirty.
Ruan Yunhan's expression changed in an instant. She looked at Xu Xiaolan, the highest-ranking person in the group, and said, "Officer, she just tried to murder my mother. You saw it!"
“I didn’t see it,” Xu Xiaolan said. “I only saw your mother speak rudely, and Ruan Chen acted a little roughly in his haste, but that’s only human nature.”
Ruan Zhengde realized that not only Tao Ran, but even the Municipal Bureau had people protecting Ruan Chen.
He just didn't understand why, or by what right.
He adopted the air of the head of the Ruan family, threatening Xu Xiaolan with a nonchalant yet intimidating tone, "Your deputy director's surname is Lü, right? I've met him once before."
Xu Xiaolan wasn't buying it at all. She pointed outside and said, "The complaint mailbox and complaint hotline are on the wall. Our deputy director will personally answer the phone every Friday. You can give me your honest feedback if you have any complaints about my work."
Ruan Zhengde narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that he had met with a rebuff.
He looked at Ruan Chen and asked, "Are you satisfied with this situation?"
The tone even carried a reprimanding quality.
Ruan Chen's anger began to flare up again, a faint hint of hostility rising in her eyes, but her tone was nonchalantly provocative, "I'm alright, but it's obvious that Mr. Ruan should be the biggest beneficiary. If I were you, I would take this opportunity to suck up to my father-in-law, after all, Mr. Ruan, you personally sent your aunt to the police station."
