Yu Wanqing struggled a couple of times, but Ruan Chen was simply too strong.
She was genuinely afraid of hurting herself.
Ruan Zhengde hadn't expected his daughter to react so strongly. He stood up and shouted angrily, "Ruan Chen! What do you want to do?"
Ruan Chen was still smiling, but her eyes held a chilling ruthlessness as she stared directly at Yu Wanqing.
Bright red blood beads seeped from the wound, rolled down, and traced a line of bloody tears down her cheek.
"This is the only thing my mother left me. Do you want to destroy it?"
Ruan Zhengde approached Ruan Chen step by step and said, "Ruan Chen, calm down! No one wants to hurt you!"
At this moment, dark clouds are quietly gathering above the villa on the hillside.
Ye Huanhuan was genuinely worried that Ruan Chen might do something impulsive—but what she was worried about was Ruan Chen's future.
Of everyone, only she understood the meaning of Ruan Chen's words—this face perfectly inherited Cong Rao's advantages.
She couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Ruan Chen had never said it, but she was still just a child, how could she possibly forget her birth mother completely?
Ye Huanhuan reached out to Ruan Chen, "Chenchen, Mommy's here, can you give Mommy the knife?"
She gently took the knife from Ruan Chen's hand with her pale white hand. Ruan Chen finally came to his senses and obediently handed it to Ye Huanhuan.
Just as Ye Huanhuan was about to say a few words to comfort Ruan Chen, the next second, Ruan Zhengde kicked Ruan Chen hard, sending his small body flying several meters away before crashing to the ground.
Ruan Zhengde pointed at her nose and angrily cursed, "You're such an ungrateful dog!"
Ruan Chen's throat was filled with the taste of blood. Ruan Qin looked at her, so weak that she could barely stand, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
Why not remove this thorn in my sister's side today!
His eyes were sinister as he walked towards Ruan Chen.
Ye Huanhuan rushed over and stood in front of Ruan Chen, "What are you trying to do!"
But she was no match for Ruan Qin. The seventeen-year-old boy was as big and strong as an adult male, and he easily shoved Ye Huanhuan aside.
Ruan Qinhan said coldly, "Aunt Ye, mind your own business. We already know that this isn't your Ye family's child—she's a bastard that Dad picked up from outside!"
Neither Ruan Zhengde nor Yu Wanqing, nor even Ruan Yunhan, stopped Ruan Qin; they all looked at Ruan Chen with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man.
Ruan Chen's hands, which were supporting her on the ground, trembled slightly as she tried to get up, but the intense pain all over her body left her with no strength to stand up at all.
She gave a sorrowful smile and asked softly, "Where did I go wrong?"
At this moment, Ruan Yu'er and Ruan Luo, who were squatting under the eaves of the villa halfway up the mountain, looked up at the increasingly thick dark clouds, in which lightning snaked and crackled. Ruan Yu'er hugged her brother's arm in fear.
Inside the room, Ruan Qin gently stroked the girl's fragile throat, "You were wrong to be born with such a face, wrong to go against Yunhan's nature, wrong to... when Yunhan slapped your left cheek, you didn't offer your right cheek and beg her to slap you."
"But from the very beginning, it was you siblings who were targeting me. From the very beginning... I also wanted to be a good family with you."
Ruan Qin shook his head indifferently, "So what? What makes you think you can resist? How can someone as lowly as you from the slums be worthy of being my family?"
As her fingers tightened little by little, Ruan Chen began to feel difficulty breathing.
She underestimated the Ruan family. She didn't expect that these powerful families would dare to disregard the law and wantonly take lives.
She didn't want to die.
so......
"Ruan Qin, go to hell."
The girl, with blood in her mouth, uttered a deeply etched curse. She could barely make a sound, yet the voice was exceptionally clear, as if a thunderclap had exploded in Ruan Qin's mind!
【Ruan Qin, go to hell.】
At the same time, Ruan Yu'er and Ruan Luo, who were squatting under the eaves looking up at the sky, also let out a piercing scream!
They saw the stray electric snakes converge into a thick bolt of lightning, striking straight at the hillside villa with an irreversible momentum!
-------------------------------------
Jingzhou Hanhai Private Hospital.
The moment the words "[In Surgery]" went dark, Yu Wanqing and Ruan Zhengde, who were guarding the door, stood up.
The doctor said, "Fortunately, the patient's life has been saved, but his consciousness has not yet recovered, and it is uncertain how much he will recover later."
"Doctor, we have plenty of money! He's my only son!"
The doctor said helplessly, "This isn't about money. The chances of surviving being struck by lightning are already very low—I'm very sorry about your daughter, Ruan Chen. Do you want to see her one last time?"
However, the parents did not seem to be saddened by their daughter's passing.
"No need. You can handle everything from now on."
The doctor couldn't help but remind them, "If you don't come to see him, we'll proceed directly with the cremation process."
"not see."
The doctor sighed. Even if it was a case of favoring sons over daughters, the parents' behavior was truly heartbreaking; they didn't even want to see their child one last time.
The nurse pushed Ruan Qin's hospital bed toward the ward, with Ruan Zhengde and Yu Wanqing following closely behind. Even when passing through the gaps in the tiles, they reminded the nurse to slow down.
From the shadows emerged a woman whose eyes and brows were filled with exhaustion.
"Brother, thank you so much."
The doctor pulled off his mask and looked helplessly at Ye Huanhuan. "You're my only sister. How could I not grant this request? I'll take care of the hospital arrangements. You take her away, and this child will have nothing to do with the Ruan family anymore."
"I'll arrange her accommodations right away."
"By the way," the doctor called out to Ye Huanhuan, "what do you want to do about Ruan Zhengde's matter? The old man knows everything. Even if it's an arranged marriage, as long as you want to leave, it's just a matter of saying one word. Our dad has been so angry these past two days that he can't sleep. He keeps saying that he was blind back then and sent you into the hands of such a beast."
Ye Huanhuan smiled faintly, "Leave? Why should he get away with this so easily? Brother, I don't have the mind to think about the Ruan family right now. Let's talk about it after Chen'er recovers—besides, Ruan Chen is more qualified than me to take revenge."
Ruan Chen felt as if she had entered an infinite space.
Time stands still here.
I felt as if I were just a vague projection, wandering aimlessly for a long time—or perhaps only for a moment.
Then, firefly-like specks of light gradually appeared in front of us, some large, some small, some dim, some bright.
A point of light stopped in front of her, and a voice echoed in Ruan Chen's mind, "Which group are you in?"
Ruan Chen asked blankly, "What?"
"So you got lost. But you're quite something to have stumbled into the Chaos Land. Wait a moment, I'll call the administrator to deal with your situation."
A blinding light stopped in front of Ruan Chen. The light flickered, and then a somewhat aged and questioning voice floated out, "Such high weight, such pure spiritual fluctuations... is it a fully purified body?"
Ruan Chen looked around, and the endless darkness seemed familiar. She couldn't help but ask, "Where is this place?"
"Child, how old are you?"
"Thirteen."
The aged voice sighed with relief, "In a few years, perhaps we will meet again here, but now, you should go back—child, I have a piece of advice for you: do not abuse your abilities."
Ruan Chen saw a crimson, blood-red light fly towards him and disappear into his brow.
