Ruan Mengmeng's eyes became colder and her knuckles turned whiter. She raised her head and glanced at Ruan Tiantian calmly, then smiled and said, "Because I miss you guys."

Ruan Tiantian shuddered with a chill. She thought Ruan Mengmeng's smile was very strange.

Tao Hongmei pulled Ruan Tiantian to sit next to her, and her intimate look seemed as if she treated Ruan Mengmeng as an outsider.

Ruan Tiantian thought about it, and just like Tao Hongmei's initial concerns, she asked tentatively: "Second sister, why did you leave half a year ago?"

Tao Hongmei said, "Yes, when I woke up the next day, you were gone. I looked for you everywhere, but Brother Huang told me that you had left early in the morning."

Tao Hongmei pretended to blame him and said, "You've been gone for half a year and you didn't even bring back a message?"

Ruan Mengmeng listened to Tao Hongmei talking to herself, completely denying what happened half a year ago. Her fingers were tightly clasped around the teacup, suppressing the anger in her heart.

She slowly raised her eyelids and asked the two people opposite her: "Have you looked for me?"

Ruan Tiantian was stunned for a moment, and she immediately replied: "Yes, of course! But we don't know where to find you?"

Ruan Mengmeng found it ironic that she pretended to be distressed.

Ruan Mengmeng lowered her eyes: "I'm sorry, I won't let you worry anymore, so when I come back this time, I won't leave again."

Before the two people opposite could react, Ruan Mengmeng stood up and said to them, "I have something else to do. I'm leaving first."

This trip back was to give them a shock. She still needed time and energy to find out the truth of the matter.

Without evidence, Ruan Mengmeng knew they would not admit it.

Judging from their reactions today, her goal had been achieved, so there was no need for her to stay any longer to watch the mother-daughter drama of affection.

Ruan Tiantian asked in surprise: "Second sister, where are you going?"

Ruan Mengmeng said without any emotion: "I applied for a job at a foreign trade company and lived here."

There was a flash of doubt in Tao Hongmei's eyes. Was Ruan Mengmeng's trip back just that simple?

Butler Hu didn't expect that Ruan Mengmeng would leave so soon after coming back.

He held a gift bag and chased after Ruan Mengmeng, shouting, "Second Miss!"

Ruan Mengmeng stopped and turned to look at the old man who was chasing her breathlessly. She couldn't help but ask in a softer tone, "What's wrong?"

"Second Miss, this is the gift that the master sent back from overseas." Butler Hu handed the gift bag to her.

At that time, Ruan Zhengsheng had to go overseas to expand his business and could not accompany her on her birthday, so he sent a birthday present back from the United States.

However, before Ruan Mengmeng received her birthday present, something happened.

Half a year ago, Ruan Mengmeng left home a few days before her birthday.

He still remembered that what was strange was that when he asked Tao Hongmei how to keep Ruan Mengmeng's gift, Tao Hongmei sneered and said, "The person is gone, what's the point of keeping it? Just throw it away."

Butler Hu knew how much Ruan Zhengsheng loved his daughter, so in the end, he couldn't bear to throw it away and kept it for Ruan Mengmeng temporarily.

Now that Ruan Mengmeng has returned, the property should be returned to its original owner.

When Ruan Mengmeng heard Butler Hu mention Ruan Zhengsheng, her eyes turned red. She took a deep breath and asked, "My dad, is there any news about him coming back?"

Butler Hu smiled and said, "She called a few days ago and asked about you, the Second Miss, but the Madam said that she couldn't make the Master sad, so she didn't mention you."

Ruan Mengmeng sneered, "Really?" She reached out to take the gift bag from Butler Hu, turned and left.

When Ruan Mengmeng was trapped, she thought about calling her father overseas for help.

However, when she called, what awaited her was a busy tone and a beating.

In this family, except for her deceased parents, no one really cared about her whereabouts.

After this incident, Ruan Mengmeng's heart gradually turned cold.

After Ruan Mengmeng left, the mother and daughter in the living room dismissed everyone else and started talking in private.

"Mom, why is she back? Didn't she say..." Ruan Tiantian grabbed Tao Hongmei's clothes and asked anxiously.

Tao Hongmei covered Ruan Tiantian's mouth to stop her from speaking any further.

Ruan Tiantian reacted, she looked around cautiously, lowered her voice and said, "Mom, what should we do now?"

Tao Hongmei: "We need to calm down and not panic."

She paused, her eyes gleaming, and then continued, "Let's first find out what happened and how she escaped back."

Ruan Tiantian frowned and asked worriedly, "Mom, why didn't she mention what happened half a year ago? Could it be that she found out something?"

Tao Hongmei smiled confidently, "Impossible, everyone who knew about this incident back then has been sent abroad by me." Therefore, she was very sure that Ruan Mengmeng had no idea that they had plotted to murder her.

Ruan Tiantian was silent for a while. She vaguely felt that something was wrong, so she asked, "Mom, do you feel that...she has changed?"

Tao Hongmei smiled disdainfully and said confidently: "No matter what happens, what belongs to us will definitely be ours." She was not worried at all that Ruan Mengmeng had the ability to compete with them for the family property.

Ruan Tiantian remained silent. She had not forgotten the shock she felt when she first met Ruan Mengmeng.

The woman's first instinct told Ruan Tiantian that Ruan Mengmeng had changed, and she might have deliberately concealed her appearance in the past.

But half a year later, Ruan Mengmeng seemed to have become much more beautiful, with exquisite makeup, brand-name clothes that showed off her good figure, and a sports car.

All these things indicate that Ruan Mengmeng is much more high-profile than before.

Ruan Mengmeng had only been away from home for half a year, and not only was she unharmed, she had become even more dazzling than before. Whenever Ruan Tiantian thought of this, she became so jealous that her eyes were burning with anger.

Ruan Mengmeng might have guessed that it was her respected mother and her dearest sister who conspired against her, but she would not have guessed that her own sister also planned to snatch the man she liked.

Ruan Mengmeng drove a sports car, driving quickly in the darkness and was gradually obscured.

It was dark all around and Ruan Mengmeng couldn't see anything. She stood in the middle, shouting helplessly and desperately, as if she had fallen into a bottomless pit. No one heard her cries for help and rescued her.

Suddenly, a voice floated in from above, like a hot spring, slowly flowing into her heart and soaking her soul.

"Go to sleep, you're just having a nightmare, everything will be fine when you wake up."

Is this really the case?

Comforted by that voice, Ruan Mengmeng's breathing gradually became steady and her body temperature became stable, no longer fluctuating between hot and cold.
