When Ruan Yunhan saw that name, her blood seemed to freeze.
Ruan Qin's eyes were bloodshot, and his head began to throb. That voice began to echo in his mind again and again, loud and clear—[Ruan Qin, go to hell.]
Only Ruan Yu'er jumped down from Ye Huanhuan's arms and shouted excitedly, "That's my sister! My sister is amazing! My sister is number one!"
Ye Huanhuan wasn't surprised that the name appeared at the top of the list, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Impossible! Impossible!" A hysterical scream came from behind the crowd. "Ruan Chen is dead! How could a dead man be on my head! There must be some mistake!"
Everyone turned to look, and saw that the usually aloof and elegant Goddess Yunhan was showing signs of madness, pointing at the red list and making a scene.
Meanwhile, Ruan Qin, who was standing next to her, also looked very strange.
The teacher who released the results said, "That's right. Although Ruan Chen has not been attending school recently, she contacted the school last month and represented the school in a competition, winning first place in the province."
Ruan Yunhan turned around abruptly, looked at Ye Huanhuan, pushed through the crowd and strode over, staring at her with a ferocious expression, "Was it you who did this! Where is that bastard Ruan Chen now! Did you hide her?"
Ye Huanhuan gave a cold laugh, took Ruan Yu'er's hand, and walked towards the car parked on the side.
Many people who were looking at the results saw this scene.
"Did I hear that right? The goddess just said the word 'bastard'?"
"I told you that she was exposed for having bad things about her younger sister when school started because she was jealous of her. Do you believe me now?"
"This Ruan Chen is really amazing. I've never heard of him before."
"You forgot? Last semester, during a break between classes..."
When Ruan Yunhan saw Ye Huanhuan about to leave, she reached out to grab her, but was blocked by Ye's bodyguards.
"Yunhan!" Ruan Qin stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Don't let people laugh at us here, go home first."
Chen Mohan was also on the honor roll. When he saw the girl's name at the top, he smiled knowingly, gripped the faded backpack strap tightly, and muttered to himself, "I knew it. How could someone my old man personally asked me about be mediocre?"
“Mohan,” Yu Xiaoya found him, looking at him expectantly, and asked, “To celebrate your great ranking, how about I treat you to dinner?”
"Forget it, I can't afford to repay the treat from Miss Yu."
"Who asked you to pay me back? I'll treat you to some jianbing (Chinese crepes), okay? Oh, by the way, how did you know Ruan Chen was alright? There were rumors in our circle about her dying a while back. But anyway, seeing Ruan Yunhan get her comeuppance is so satisfying!" Yu Xiaoya followed closely behind Shen Mohan. "Speaking of which, I even went against her when she first enrolled. I hope Ruan Chen doesn't hold a grudge against me? If I'd known she was so academically gifted, I should have tried to befriend her..."
-------------------------------------
As soon as Ye Huanhuan and Ruan Yu'er arrived home, Ruan Zhengde called out to them.
"Huanhuan, about Ruan Chen...did you already know about it?"
Ye Huanhuan glanced coldly at her husband, said nothing, and led Ruan Yu'er upstairs.
Ever since that day when Ruan Zhengde allowed or even condoned Ruan Qin to kill Ruan Chen, Ye Huanhuan has completely lost hope in her arranged marriage husband.
After that day, Yu Wanqing moved into the Ruan family openly, nominally as a nanny hired by the Ruan family for their eldest son and daughter.
Seeing that Ye Huanhuan didn't respond, Yu Wanqing threw down the fashion magazine she was flipping through. "What are you pretending for? You were the one who orchestrated this, weren't you? Aren't you afraid that your two children will be corrupted by hanging out with such a scumbag?"
Ye Huanhuan simply lowered her head and said to Ruan Yu'er, "From now on, we should learn from Sister Ruan Chen and strive to win first place in the province. Don't be like some people in the family who, instead of being as good as others, just stir up trouble behind people's backs."
"Um!"
"Ye Huanhuan, who are you talking about?"
"Just say whoever is being a jerk. Why are people so eager to take it personally?"
Yu Wanqing rushed forward to argue with Ye Huanhuan, but was immediately stopped by Ye's bodyguards.
Yu Wanqing turned to Ruan Zhengde and pouted, "Zhengde, look at the state she's become! She even brings the Ye family's bodyguards home with her. What kind of behavior is this?"
With a loud bang, the door was pushed open.
Ruan Chen, dressed in a short red trench coat, stood gracefully at the door, looking around at the villa on the hillside that she hadn't seen for months.
There is no trace left at the spot where she nearly died months ago, except that the tiles in that location are remarkably new.
The servants of the Ruan family looked at her as if they had seen a ghost.
"Second Miss..."
"The Second Miss died unjustly; she's come back for revenge!"
Ruan Zhengde waved for his servants to return to their room, then stood up and looked at his daughter, who had become even more beautiful than he had seen in the past few months.
His expression shifted, but in the end he only said, "You're back? That's good. Your mother didn't have your things tidied up, so you can stay here."
“No need, I’m here to pack my things,” Ruan Chen said, her slender legs striding into the Ruan family’s house. “Mr. Ruan, my name is no longer on the Ruan family’s household registration.”
Ruan Zhengde thought Ruan Chen had come to seek peace.
He had made up his mind. Since Ruan Chen was so promising, and the mysterious person who had stood up for "Miss Ruan" had never revealed who he was, and since Ruan Chen was still alive, he would allow her to stay.
It might come in handy later.
But Ruan Chen came to draw a line.
Ruan Qin and Ruan Yunhan returned as well, and before they even entered the door, they shouted, "Mom, that bitch Ruan Chen isn't dead at all! It must be Ye..."
Ruan Yunhan stopped talking.
She saw Ruan Chen, who was as fiery as a ball of fire.
Suppressing his anger, Ruan Zhengde said gently, "Stop making a scene. I was wrong before."
Ruan Chen smiled sarcastically, "Mr. Ruan, eleven years ago you seduced my birth mother, swindled her from the inheritance she had just received, sold her property, and transferred her life savings. When you left Meicheng, you took everything of value with you, not even the cheapest piece of jewelry—just so that you, who had accomplished nothing, wouldn't look so pathetic in the eyes of the Ruan family."
“You stopped being my father after you abandoned my mother and me.”
“Do you know that after I returned to the Ruan family, I called you ‘Dad’ a total of 323 times? I felt disgusted every single time I did it.”
“When Ruan Qin wanted to kill me, you didn’t care.”
"When the doctor asked you if you wanted to see me one last time, you refused."
"What right do you have to call yourself my father?"
