A hint of doubt arose in Ruan Yunhan's mind, but the next second, this faint doubt dissipated when she saw the music box she was holding in her arms.
I called the city hospital before boarding the plane to verify that there was indeed a person named Yu Wanqing being treated.
Since Dad left this music box in the car, he must be trying to mend his relationship with me. He probably wouldn't do anything under the guise of this opportunity.
Soothing music played in the car, and the driver said, "Miss, you must be tired from your journey. Why don't you rest for a while?"
Ruan Yunhan closed her eyes; she didn't want to look exhausted when she saw her mother later.
Twenty minutes later, Ruan Yunhan opened her eyes and looked out the window again. This time, her gaze finally changed—outside was a villa area, a villa area in Jingzhou that had been abandoned years ago!
This is definitely not the road to the city hospital!
"Where exactly are you taking me?!" Ruan Yunhan demanded sharply, her voice filled with barely concealed panic.
Then she wanted to take out her phone to call Su Jin, but then she remembered that the driver had taken her bag before she got on the bus, and she hadn't thought much of it at the time.
Seeing that he couldn't fool them, the driver simply stopped talking and silently drove his car toward the only villa with its lights on at the far end of the villa area.
The surrounding dilapidated villas were all dark and covered with neglected ivy, except for that one villa with a warm yellow light, which looked particularly eerie and sinister.
"Stop the car! Stop the car!"
Ruan Yunhan was terribly panicked. She could almost guess what was going to happen. She roared fiercely, but the sobbing that she inadvertently revealed how scared she was.
The driver smiled but didn't say anything.
He was certain that this young lady wouldn't dare to fight him to the death.
But Ruan Yunhan is no longer the Ruan Yunhan she used to be—Su Jin seems to have really changed her in some ways.
She gritted her teeth and reached out to grab the driver's steering wheel—she knew what the consequences of a rollover at this speed would be, but she didn't care at all.
She even secretly hoped for another serious injury, another near-death experience, so that when she opened her eyes she could see Su Jin's sad, red eyes again, and drown in his affectionate gaze.
Even if she gets injured again, it's still for Su Jin. The more seriously she's injured, the more Su Jin owes her. They become even more inseparable, clinging to each other until death.
When the driver saw that Ruan Yunhan was really recklessly trying to grab the steering wheel, he tried to scare her, but he inadvertently saw the young lady's eyes in the rearview mirror and was startled by Ruan Yunhan first.
His eyes were wild, excited, and resolute, as if he wasn't gambling with his life, but rather going to meet his lover in secret.
“Miss, please calm down,” the driver said, not wanting to risk his life against this young lady but not daring to disobey Ruan Zhengde’s orders. He pretended to lie and said, “It’s a gift that the gentleman prepared for you. It’s a surprise he specially prepared. Don’t misunderstand—didn’t you see the music box he specially gave you?”
Ruan Yunhan's eyes changed slightly, and she hesitated, no longer reaching forward.
The driver seized the opportunity, secretly tightened his seatbelt, and then suddenly turned the car, violently throwing Ruan Yunhan, who was bent over inside, out of the vehicle.
Ruan Yunhan was already unsteady on her feet, and her head slammed into the window, causing her to fall to the ground in a daze.
The driver accelerated and slammed on the gas, instantly rushing to the front of the villa before slamming on the brakes.
Ruan Yunhan felt so dizzy she almost vomited.
She struggled to lift her head, and the car door in front of her was pulled open from the outside. The person bowed politely and bent down to help her. "Miss Ruan, were you being disobedient on the way? Look at you, it really breaks my heart."
Those hands were somewhat aged; one hand supported Ruan Yunhan's soft, boneless shoulder, while the other grasped her wrist—and deliberately pushed her sleeve up, excitedly squeezing her supple skin.
Ruan Yunhan raised her hand, intending to push the old man away.
The more she moved, the more intense the nausea became. She finally couldn't hold it in and, in a very undignified and impolite manner, vomited on the shiny leather shoes of the man surnamed Song.
The driver rushed over, knelt down in fear, and used the crisp sleeve of his suit jacket to wipe the dirt off Song Xingwang's shoes. Then he took off a white glove and wiped the shoes until they were spotless. Finally, he took mouthwash from the car and helped Ruan Yunhan clean herself up.
Surprisingly, Song Xingwang showed no disgust and kept smiling as he stared at Ruan Yunhan, who looked particularly delicate due to dizziness.
He took Ruan Yunhan from the driver, let her lean on his shoulder, and helped her walk into the villa.
Yu Wanqing waited anxiously. She didn't want to see her daughter. She envisioned the scene of their reunion the next morning, when everything was over, and she would appear before her battered daughter and tell her that she should accept her fate.
However, Ruan Zhengde seemed uneasy about leaving Song Xingwang and Ruan Yunhan alone, and insisted on having Yu Wanqing come over.
Seeing her daughter leaning on Song Xingwang's shoulder and being helped in, Yu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and went over to scold her, "Look at you, I told you Mr. Song would be kind to people, why were you so stubborn?"
Song Xingwang placed Ruan Yunhan on the sofa, looked at her with lingering affection, and asked Yu Wanqing, "I remember Xiaohan has a younger sister, right? I met her once at the villa on the hillside last time."
Yu Wanqing understood his meaning perfectly. She quickly replied, "Yes, but that girl is not yet an adult, Mr. Song, please don't be impatient."
Song Xingwang smiled knowingly, "I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry. You can't rush things."
Ruan Yunhan vomited again.
She rushed to the trash can, but this time she didn't vomit anything. She gagged a few times and then looked up.
Her face was haggard, and she looked extremely disheveled, but her eyes were fierce, filled with disbelief and hatred. "Mom..."
She couldn't say anything; she didn't even know what to say. She just stared straight at Yu Wanqing.
Yu Wanqing dodged the question, but finally, after hearing Ruan Yunhan's words, she asked, "What did you do to Ruan Chen?"
She easily believed this clumsy lie because it was Ruan Chen who made the call, since Ruan Chen would never cooperate with Yu Wanqing and Ruan Zhengde.
Yu Wanqing clearly hadn't expected her daughter to ask her about the person she hated most, and stammered, "I...she...didn't..."
Ruan Yunhan had calmed down a bit by now. She stood up straight and reached out to Yu Wanqing, "I can grant your request, but I need to call Dad first."
This request is not unreasonable.
As soon as the call connected, Ruan Yunhan shouted at the other end of the line with almost all her might, "Are you even human?! You better remember this: I am the eldest daughter of the Ruan family! You have no one to rely on but me as your heir!"
