With Yu Wanqing's voluntary confession of her "crimes," Tao Ran's case was essentially settled.
Ruan Yunhan went home that evening.
She sat calmly on the sofa, chatting with her classmates who were about to enter the new star class of the hospital, with a smile on her face. She even had the leisure to put on a full face of makeup.
Even Ruan Chen had to admire his cold-hearted and ungrateful nature.
Around nine o'clock, Ruan Yu'er returned from the Ye family home, wearing the new doll outfit Ye Tian had bought for her, and skipped and hopped into the house.
She ran to the refrigerator to get ice cream, but Ruan Luo stopped her because it was too late. After some haggling, Ruan Yu'er got two scoops of ice cream.
Ye Huanhuan sat at the table reading documents—after Ruan Luo became sensible, she didn't need to spend too much time on this child—in fact, Ruan Luo did know how to be attentive when it came to things she liked.
Even without the Ye family's background, several film and television companies have already contacted Ruan Luo, offering him a few supporting roles to test the waters.
As for Ruan Yu'er, although she seems carefree, she truly regards Ruan Chen as her role model, and her grades are among the best of the children of the same age in both the Ye and Ruan families.
Ye Huanhuan then had more time to do her own things and help the Ye family with some foreign trade matters.
Ruan Chen was in his room upstairs when he heard Ruan Yu'er return. He opened the door to invite her upstairs.
As soon as the door opened, Ruan Yu'er's cheerful voice rang out, "Where's Aunt Yu today? Did she finally move out?"
His tone barely concealed his excitement.
"Why do you care so much about a little kid? Have you forgotten what your mother taught you? Eat your food quickly, go to bed early tonight, and see if Grandpa will take you fishing at Riyue Bay tomorrow?"
Although Ye Huanhuan tried her best to avoid letting these family matters affect Ruan Yu'er, she was just carefree, not stupid.
Ye Huanhuan hated Yu Wanqing just as much as she did.
After playing on her tablet for almost two hours, Ruan Yunhan finally looked up and glanced at Ruan Yu'er.
A cold, venomous gaze.
But she didn't say anything. She continued to lower her head, flirtatiously tossed her hair, took a selfie with her phone, edited the photo, and posted it in the freshman group.
The college also has a freshman dance party, where freshmen full of hope for their new life are looking for their dance partners.
After taking a selfie, she put down her phone and went upstairs.
Ruan Yu'er was intently using a caviar-eating clam shell spoon to scoop out a slightly frozen scoop of ice cream.
Ruan Yunhan walked calmly past Ruan Yu'er, but in the instant they brushed past each other, a vicious glint flashed in her eyes, and she forcefully pressed Ruan Yu'er's head down!
Even if the spoon handle wouldn't blind Ruan Yu'er, its slightly sharp edge could still cut a gash in her face!
She deserved it for being so rude!
She fantasized about the blood and gore that was about to happen—so what if Ruan Zhengde punished her after he found out?
The moment she raised her hand, the Ye family's bodyguards understood what she was about to do, but it was too late!
They only had time to utter rebukes and roars!
Blood suddenly appeared!
But it wasn't Ruan Yu'er who was wailing, it was Ruan Yunhan!
On the second floor, Ruan Chen, who had been holding her breath, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ruan Yu'er held a seashell spoon in her slightly chubby hands, the handle drooping, its slightly sharp edge dripping blood.
Her eyes still held an innocent naivety as she asked, "Sister, you can tell me what I did wrong. Why did you try to hurt me?"
Ruan Yunhan clutched her bleeding wrist—she didn't know how Ruan Yu'er seemed to have anticipated her actions and slashed herself the instant her hand was raised!
Ye Huanhuan immediately knew what had happened and coldly gestured for the servants to bandage Ruan Yunhan.
Ruan Yu'er switched to a silver spoon and continued eating her ice cream.
Ye Huanhuan pointed at Ruan Yunhan, "Don't let this person get within three meters of the Ye family's children in the future."
She was also terrified.
Fortunately, Ruan Yu'er learned some things from Ruan Chen.
"Never expose your back to the enemy without any defenses."
It was past midnight.
The Xu family.
Ruan Chen was somewhat listless—if it weren't for Tao Ran's request and the fact that Xu Xiaolan had indeed treated her well, she wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this mess.
The room of the Xu family's idiotic eldest son is on the third floor.
Ruan Chen temporarily blocked the surveillance cameras outside the Xu family's residence, deftly pried open the door to the third-floor bedroom, and landed on her feet.
The room smelled fresh, with the delicate scent of oranges, unlike the place where someone who has been ill for a long time lives.
It's clear that Xu Weiwei put a lot of effort into it.
A few seconds later, Ruan Chen suddenly realized something was wrong.
The room was too quiet. At this time, the eldest young master of the Xu family should be sleeping, but there was no sound of breathing in the room!
The hairs on the back of her head stood on end, and then something cold was pressed against her back.
The sound was very soft and pleasant.
“Weiwei is dead, and now it’s my turn? My brother is really impatient.”
“Young Master, don’t embarrass yourself by showing me this kind of toy,” she said, snatching the gun from behind her back and disassembling it in a few quick movements. She glanced at the components in the dim moonlight and yawned. “This kind of black market junk is more likely to explode than hit.”
She turned around and saw that the boy was sitting in a wheelchair.
She has delicate features, with feminine appearances, and a slightly sickly pale complexion due to prolonged lack of sunlight, which could even be described as effeminate.
Judging from the current situation, he's clearly not a fool.
He smiled resignedly, closed his eyes, and said in a low, pleasant voice, "It seems I really am useless. If you want to kill me... you can do it now. Weiwei has been waiting for too long. I have to go and keep her company."
Ruan Chen turned on her flashlight and quickly surveyed the room. Hearing the words of the eldest young master of the Xu family, her spine felt even colder than before.
Turns out he's quite the romantic.
Rare.
"Huh? You're not going to kill me?"
Ruan Chen glanced at him coldly, "Brother, I don't even know you, why would I kill you? Besides, look at my face. With this face, what can't I do to make a living? Why should I be a killer, a high-risk job that involves being out in the wind and rain, irregular meals, upside-down work and rest, and no social security or housing fund?"
Young Master Xu: "..."
My head is so itchy, it feels like my brain is growing out.
Ruan Chen put on gloves and quickly looked at the medicine in the drawer, her mouth not stopping either, "If your eyes don't work, just donate them. Can't you tell I'm a minor? Hiring child labor is illegal everywhere."
"I thought you were just shy."
Ruan Chen suddenly felt a sharp pain in her face.
This conversation seems to have happened between her and Tao Ran not long ago.
She sighed, "I'll take that as a compliment."
"So who are you?"
"Just consider me Xu Weiwei's friend."
Young Master Xu's eyes suddenly lit up. He tried to get up from his wheelchair, but after struggling for a couple of seconds, he couldn't stand up.
But he quickly calmed down, muttering to himself, "Impossible. My brother keeps such a close eye on her. He personally selects every friend of Weiwei. Weiwei wouldn't have a friend like you."
Ruan Chen ignored him and went straight to the point, "How do you plan to handle this? Do you have any evidence? Should you call the police, or should your family resolve it yourselves? I personally suggest you take legal action. This case is registered with the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and they happen to be a few people short of KPIs this month."
