Ruan Zhengde felt all the blood rush to his head. He never imagined that Ruan Chen knew everything he had done back then!
Ye Huanhuan stood coldly on the second floor listening, clearly she already knew.
Ruan Zhengde walked towards Ruan Chen, angrily raising his arm, wanting her to shut up!
The Ye family's bodyguards stood in front of Ruan Chen.
Even through the bodyguard, Ruan Zhengde's hand was still pointing in Ruan Chen's direction. His most shameful and despicable side had been exposed by his own daughter, and he was so angry that his breathing was trembling. "How dare you say such a thing to me! I am, after all, your biological father! Ruan Chen, if it weren't for me, you would be nothing!"
“Father, biological father,” Ruan Chen savored the four words, “I was just an accidental creation you made during those three years in Meicheng to relieve your loneliness.”
She raised her hand and gently stroked her cheek. Her once dark and thin fingers had all the scars gone, and her clean, white fingertips lightly touched her eyebrows and eyes. "If this face is so ugly that you hate it, would you still bring me back to the Ruan family?"
Ruan Chen was too lazy to say anything more; she had come today to take her things away.
Yu Wanqing jumped in, "Ruan Chen, what's the point of saying all that? Aren't you just trying to prove that your whore-mother mother was also a victim? But she's dead! No matter how outstanding you are, she'll never see it!"
Yu Wanqing knew exactly how to provoke Ruan Chen. She deliberately used the most vulgar words to humiliate the already deceased Cong Rao, stabbing Ruan Chen in the heart with a bloody knife.
Ruan Chen raised her chin, her neatly manicured nails digging deep into her palms, her eyes coldly fixed on Yu Wanqing.
She thought calmly, "I wish she would just die."
An aged voice suddenly rang in her mind—"Child, I have a piece of advice for you: do not abuse your abilities."
Ye Huanhuan walked quickly down from the second floor and put her hand on Ruan Chen's shoulder.
That day, she was closest to Ruan Qin and Ruan Chen, and heard Ruan Chen's hoarse voice say those words, followed by lightning striking from the sky and Ruan Chen falling into a coma.
She sometimes wondered if it was just a coincidence, or if this girl... really had some secret.
As a prominent family that wields considerable wealth and power in the world, Ye Huanhuan had heard from the elders in her family that the world was not as most people believed it to be.
Ruan Chen suppressed her murderous intent and laughed, "Auntie, even if my mother was a prostitute, she still raised me on her own. And you? You just watched your man marry someone else for profit, and you had to endure humiliation and raise his child..."
Ruan Chen shrugged. "I'm sorry, I can't say anything more vulgar, but my birth mother always taught me that my biological father is dead. And you... it's as if you can't live without this fickle, lying man. How pathetic."
"You asked me before why my mother could bring the Ye family's bodyguards here and act so arrogantly. It's because she is the rightful mistress of this place, while your identity is just that of a nanny for your own child."
After Ruan Chen finished speaking, she went upstairs to pack her things under the protection of her bodyguards.
Downstairs, Yu Wanqing started making a hysterical scene.
She glared at Ye Huanhuan with hatred. "Why haven't you divorced Zhengde yet? He's already brought me home, what's the point of you staying here? Don't you think you're just humiliating yourself?! Zhengde and I are childhood sweethearts, what are you to him?"
Ye Huanhuan maintained a dignified smile throughout, patiently waiting for Yu Wanqing to finish speaking, and said unhurriedly, "Wanqing, you never seem to understand who you should really hate. Besides, I'm staying here just to cause you trouble."
After saying that, she walked upstairs with composure and elegance.
"Huanhuan!"
Ye Huanhuan seemed not to hear at all.
From the day Ruan Chen left, she never spoke a word to Ruan Zhengde again.
Except for the day she brought the bodyguard back, when Ruan Zhengde asked her what she really wanted to do.
Ye Huanhuan said lightly, "A potential murderer lives here, and I'm scared."
Ruan Chen quickly found what she needed to take with her—the savings book with 60,000 yuan.
Although this amount of money is nothing to her now, it means a lot to her.
As Ruan Chen passed by Ye Huanhuan, she said softly, "Mom, I'm leaving now. Bring your brother Ruan Luo and sister to visit me when you have time."
Ye Huanhuan affectionately patted her head and instructed, "If you need anything, just let me know. Focus on your studies and don't get distracted, okay? When you get into a good university, I'll take you back to see your birth mother. She'll be so proud."
Seeing that Ruan Chen was about to leave, Ruan Yunhan was unwilling to give up and said, "Dad, I remember she came here with nothing, right? What in this house belongs to her? I'm afraid she came to steal something from our Ruan family!"
Ruan Zhengde remained silent, but Yu Wanqing became agitated as if she had found Ruan Chen's Achilles' heel. "Ruan Chen, what did you steal from the Ruan family?"
As she spoke, she reached out to Ruan Chen, trying to rummage through her pockets.
The bodyguard was about to stop him, but Ruan Chen waved his hand dismissively and took out the bankbook from his pocket.
When Ruan Yunhan saw it was a bankbook, her eyes lit up. She pouted at Ruan Zhengde and said, "Dad, look at this ungrateful dog, you still gave her money! We can't let her take it! Luckily, your daughter found out early."
She reached out to snatch it, but Ruan Chen coldly withdrew her hand, saying, "This doesn't belong to your Ruan family; I brought it from Meicheng."
She unfolded it so that Ruan Yunhan could see it clearly, "The stamp from Meicheng was also before I came back. What does it have to do with your Ruan family?"
Ruan Yunhan looked at Ruan Zhengde, "Dad, tell me, did you give it to her? With her whore-like mother, how could she possibly leave her any savings?!"
Ruan Zhengde was silent for a moment before speaking, "...It wasn't me who gave it to her."
Ruan Yunhan persisted, "You've lived in the Ruan family for so long, and you just want to wash your hands of it like this?"
Ruan Chen looked up at her, tilting her head with interest, and asked, "You want to settle accounts? Given my excellent grades, Huating Public School has already refunded the full tuition fee to Mr. Ruan Zhengde's card. My food, clothing, and daily necessities here are arranged by my mother. I'm spending the Ye family's money, what's it to you? Does your mother have money for you to spend? It's you and your mother who..."
Ruan Chen counted on her fingers, "They humiliated my birth mother twice, but I was too lazy to retaliate..."
She signaled to the bodyguards to restrain Ruan Yunhan and Yu Wanqing.
The Ye family's bodyguards strictly followed all of Ye Huanhuan's orders. When Ye Huanhuan told them to listen to Ruan Chen, they carried it out without any deviation.
The two were pinned down by burly bodyguards and panicked, demanding, "Ruan Chen, what do you think you're doing? Don't do anything rash!"
Ruan Chen walked up to the two men, stood on tiptoe, and slapped each of them hard across the face. He then shook his hand with satisfaction, saying, "We're even."
The moment she stepped out of the Ruan family home, Ruan Zhengde, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, "Ruan Chen, you are my child. One day, you will willingly return to the Ruan family and beg your father to take you in."
