If Life Were Only as It Was at First Meeting

Chapter 10

Views:

Jiang Zhenyue didn't want to come at first.

But after hearing Ali say Ruan Yihan was sick, she left more anxiously than anyone else.

At this moment, her back was wet with sweat, and her beautiful eyes were staring straight at Ruan Yihan.

Her beauty is more extrovert, arrogant and domineering.

Jiang Zhenyue is not the same type of person as Ruan Yihan and Qin Haiyao. She has a typical hot temper. When she loves, she loves passionately, and when she hates, she hates cleanly and neatly without any drag.

She had just been tricked out of the painting studio by Ali. She didn't even have time to change her clothes. Her light blue plaid shirt was tucked into her jeans. Her long brown hair was highlighted. Her red lips were slightly curled, and her eyes were sharp. "What are you doing? Are you kidding me?"

Ruan Yihan doesn't look sick at all.

Jiang Zhenyue turned her head and stared at A-li: "Are you tired of living?"

Ah Li stared at Ruan Yi Han nervously. Ruan Yi Han smiled and waved her hand: "You can go out."

After rebirth.

She seldom smiles.

But seeing Jiang Zhenyue's familiar look, Ruan Yihan felt warm in her heart, "Yueyue, sit here."

The two words "Yueyue" seemed to stimulate Jiang Zhenyue. Her body stiffened and she looked at Ruan Yihan in disbelief.

Ruan Yihan smiled slightly, went to the refrigerator and took out her favorite cherries, then washed them and placed them in front of her.

Jiang Zhenyue kept staring at Ruan Yihan. She looked at the cherries in front of her, then at Ruan Yihan. Finally, she couldn't help asking, "Are you sick in the head?"

Ruan Yi was still smiling, and her eyes were red from laughing.

She thought back to before she was reborn.

She, Ali and her grandmother were being chased and were fleeing in a panic. In the end, they didn't even have a car. It was Jiang Zhenyue who came over in an off-road vehicle.

At that time, Ruan Yihan was supporting her grandmother, feeling desolate in her heart. Jiang Zhenyue was smoking a cigarette, with her hair loose, driving such a tall car, looking so cool and wild.

When we meet again.

Ruan Yihan is no longer the proud child of destiny. She looks disheveled and decadent, with no light in her eyes anymore.

Jiang Zhenyue stared at her for a while, then threw the car keys to her: "Take it, there are food and drinks inside, as well as a blanket for sleeping."

Now almost everyone knows that the Ruan family and the Qin family have become enemies, and no one dares to approach them.

Ruan Yihan shook her head: "Forget it, I'll think of another way."

Qin Qin was so ruthless that she left them no way out. Anyone she found who dared to "help" Ruan Yihan in the slightest would not have a good ending.

Jiang Zhenyue knew this. She smiled coldly, "Don't worry. My parents are both abroad. No matter how powerful she is, her tentacles can't reach that far."

Ruan Yihan remained silent, with a dark look in her eyes.

"But you haven't left yet..."

Jiang Zhenyue stared at Ruan Yihan for a while, then she walked over, hugged her gently, and patted her back gently, "Ahhan, don't give up, you still have grandma."

This is the softest spot in Ruan Yihan's heart. As soon as Jiang Zhenyue's words came out, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Jiang Zhenyue touched her hair and said with a smile: "Also, why are you so listless? It's not like you, Ah Han. Do you know that my family went bankrupt, my parents fell from a high place, and I also fell into a deep valley and couldn't get out, but I never thought about why I gave up?"

Ruan Yihan looked at her. Jiang Zhenyue had never said such words before, so she naturally didn't know.

Jiang Zhenyue looked at her, her brown eyes full of seriousness: "It's because of you, Ah Han, that I won't leave. I will always be here."

Memories still carry the flavor of tenderness and tears. Ruan Yihan looked at Jiang Zhenyue and said, "Yueyue, come and work with me. Your so-called freelance painter is not reliable."

Ruan Yihan was wearing a shiny black long skirt with a contrasting red ribbon tied around her waist, which made her slender waist look so slender that she could barely hold it in one hand. Ruan Yihan looked at Jiang Zhenyue with sincerity and seriousness in her eyes. The sunlight poured in, casting a layer of gold on her profile.

They grew up together, so even if they hadn't seen each other for so many years, they should be familiar with each other. But at this moment, Jiang Zhenyue suddenly felt that she was a little strange. "What's wrong with you? Why should I follow you? Don't you know what kind of person I am? Besides, why should I follow you?"

She has always been proud and was not hurt at all even when her family went bankrupt.

She is a freelance painter who lives a very casual life. With a car and a drawing board, she travels all over the world. She feels much more comfortable than when she was a rich lady.

Ruan Yihan looked at her: "What if I beg you?"

Jiang Zhenyue looked at Ruan Yihan in disbelief. What happened to her? Ruan Yihan had been a proud person since she was a child. The two of them had fought many times, neither of them giving in. But now...

"Is Mr. Ruan always sympathizing with me?"

Jiang Zhenyue's voice turned cold. The word pity should not appear in her life dictionary.

Ruan Yihan suddenly smiled, she walked to her side, bent down and hugged her gently: "Yueyue, come here, help me, stay by my side." She lowered her voice: "You are the only one I can trust."

Jiang Zhenyue looked at her as if she were a monster, her face turned red, and in the end she almost ran away.

In the end, Ruan Yihan was not given a definite answer.

But Ruan Yihan was certain that she would come back to help her.

Jiang Zhenyue is a smart person. Her abilities may not match his at this stage, but in time, she can become his right-hand man.

Qin Qin had many eyes on Yifeng, and she was so sensitive and cautious.

It was impossible for Ruan Yihan to remove them one by one. What she could do now was to treat her closest people slowly and carefully.

At noon.

Allen, Mr. Ruan's personal manicurist, came over. He raised his pinky finger and walked around the office, covering his mouth in a pretentious manner, "Awesome, awesome, Ah Han. I haven't seen you for a few days. You've become the CEO in the blink of an eye."

Ruan Yihan was lying on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, thinking about something absentmindedly.

This is the expression she has had the longest in recent times.

Allen looked through them all, and then he turned around and looked at Ruan Yihan with satisfaction: "Okay, my Mr. Ruan, what color do you want today? How about rose red? I feel it suits your aura very well now."

Ruan Yihan then turned around and said calmly, "Take off all the nail polish for me."

Uninstalled

Allen was stunned, "Why?"

He just got Ruan Yihan a beautiful purple last week. It wasn’t just pure purple, but a gradient, layered color that was both abstinent and seductive.

Ruan Yihan was very calm, "My hands have other uses."

Mr. Ruan basically wasted the whole morning.

First he chatted with his childhood sweetheart, a bankrupt painter, and then he chatted with a sissy manicurist.

Qin Qin listened to his subordinates' report and nodded with satisfaction, "Where are we going now?"

Secretary Yan answered seriously: "He said he was going to take Ali out to do some work. I have already sent someone to follow him."

Qin Qin laughed when she heard this. "Working with Aligong?" She waved her hand. "No need to follow me."

Following too closely.

If you are discovered, it will be a waste of time.

What kind of business can I get done with Ali? Mostly I'll just hang out with him.

Ruan Yihan was indeed out fooling around.

He just managed to get into a building downstairs of an old residential complex and even changed his car to a low-key Buick.

She sat in the car without getting out, with the window open a crack, smoking quietly.

Although Ali was her subordinate before, he was more like a friend to Ruan Yihan, and they would talk about anything. But now... maybe it was really because she took over the company, Ali felt that Ruan Yihan suddenly became very distant from her, and she didn't even dare to ask why she came here today.

Waited for a full hour.

Ali saw someone familiar.

It’s Miss Qin.

I have to say, Qin Haiyao is really a beauty.

Ali has met many celebrities, big or small, famous or not, over the years, and is tired of seeing all the handsome men and beautiful women.

But Qin Haiyao has a unique temperament.

It seemed that she had just come out of school during the lunch break. Qin Haiyao was wearing a creamy white sweater, which made her snow-white skin seem to be glowing. Her profile was gentle and charming. She was holding a book in her arms and looking forward with a smile.

Right in front of her, a little girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen ran over happily. When she saw Qin Haiyao, she hugged her and made a gesture in front of her with her hands.

Qin Haiyao smiled dotingly, reached out to touch her hair, and they went upstairs together.

Ali was surprised. The girl looked like a mute. She secretly looked at Ruan Yihan through the rearview mirror.

Ruan Yihan didn't move. After a moment, she waved her hand and said, "Go back."

Until the car leaves.

Qin Haiyao, who had been waiting in the corridor for a while, slowly walked out from the shadows. She stared at the departing black car for a while, frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

The little girl next to her tugged at her clothes and made a sign language, asking what she was doing.

Qin Haiyao smiled and said, "Nothing, I saw an acquaintance. Let's go up. My parents must have prepared the meal."

Qin Haiyao was fostered in this family when she was very young.

The parents who raised her are simple and honest. They were once the most loyal subordinates of the Qin family. Over the years, they have long treated Qin Haiyao as their own child and held her in the palm of their hands.

Qin Qin seldom comes over, and only occasionally visits Ruan Yihan during holidays.

Later, Qin Haiyao's adoptive parents gave birth to a younger sister, but God was cruel. Last year, she suddenly fell ill and could no longer speak. Over the years, her family traveled north and south to treat her sister, and it was all in vain even though they almost lost all their family property.

If it weren't for Qin Qin's continuous support, the family would have been penniless long ago.

Entered the house.

A familiar aroma came over me.

Qin Haiyao washed her hands and looked into the kitchen: "What did my parents do?"

Qin Haiyao's adoptive father, Qin Shan, came out and handed his daughter a glass of cold boiled water. He said helplessly, "Your mother insisted that you were very tired from work and she had to cook fish for you."

"Who's fussing over me?" Foster mother Huang Lan came out of the kitchen with a shovel in her hand, looking fierce. She looked at Qin Shan and said, "Isn't it just eating the fish you caught? Is your fish more important than your daughter?"

Qin Shan: …

Qin Haiyao: …

My younger sister Qin Momo was laughing secretly beside me. Although she couldn't make any sound, she still covered her mouth with her hands, looking cute and well-behaved.

The family sits together to eat.

Qin Shan specially opened a bottle of white wine that he had been reluctant to drink, "Come on, come on, to celebrate our Haiyao becoming a formal teacher, let's drink a toast."

The four wine glasses clinked together.

There is no need for a fancy meal, as long as everyone is laughing happily.

Halfway through the meal, Huang Lan's face turned red from drinking. She looked at Qin Haiyao and said, "Xiao Hai."

Qin Haiyao was picking fish bones for her sister, "Hmm?"

She looked at her mother. Huang Lan hesitated for a moment, her eyes seemed a little conflicted. Qin Shan also lowered his head and looked at the wine cup in his hand without saying a word.

Qin Haiyao put down her chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong?"

There was silence for a moment.

Huang Lan looked at Qin Momo and said, "Momo, go serve some rice to mom."

Qin nodded silently and went to the kitchen obediently with the bowl in his hand.

After watching the people leave, Huang Lan lowered her voice and said, "Your father and I have decided to give up on treating Mo Mo."

They have tried their best over the years, and now that their daughter has finally found a job and is about to start a new life, they can no longer drag her down like this.

Qin Haiyao didn't say anything. Qin Shan took out a card from his jacket pocket and handed it to her: "This is the salary card you gave to your parents. Take it back."

"dad-"

Qin Haiyao was about to speak, but Qin Shan spoke before her: "At your age, it is the time for girls to pursue beauty. Go buy some nice clothes, Xiaohai, don't make your parents feel too guilty."

"But the doctor said this year is her only chance. If she passes—"

"Hmmmm-"

Qin Momo came back with the bowl. She couldn't make any sound and handed the bowl to her mother obediently. She looked at her sister and asked her with her eyes if she had another bowl.

Qin Haiyao could only swallow the following words. She restrained her emotions, looked at her sister with a sad smile, and put the selected fish on her plate.

Qin Momo raised her hands high and made a heart shape with her hands above her head towards her sister. This clever action made the whole family laugh.

Qin Haiyao also smiled, but her heart ached.

After dinner, Qin Haiyao went downstairs and secretly called Qin Qin.

Qin Qin was very unhappy when she received her call, "Why are you calling at this time? Didn't I tell you not to contact me unless it's important?"

After a moment of silence, Qin Haiyao whispered, "I'm sorry, Mom, I didn't mean to bother you, I just... I want to use some money."

My sister’s throat was damaged last year, and the doctor said that her only hope of recovery is in the next two years.

This year is the only year left.

She was unwilling to let her sister live her whole life in a silent world. She was still so young and her life had just begun.

Qin Qin sneered: "Are you trying to cure your mute sister again?"

Qin Haiyao didn't say anything.

Qin Qin said calmly: "Xiao Hai, have you forgotten? Who made you live a life of dependence on others since you were young, and who made you experience all this now?"

Qin Haiyao pursed her lips.

Qin Qin's voice became even colder, "Hmm?"

Qin Haiyao closed her eyes and said, "It's the Ruan family."

Qin Qin got a satisfactory answer, but her voice was still cold: "Don't you see Ruan Yihan every night? One hundred thousand yuan is not enough for her to eat and drink once."

In the evening, when Qin Haiyao arrived at Ruan's house, she was a little late.

Grandma has gone to bed. Recently, Ruan Yihan took over the company, and she has not been idle either. She teaches her some business knowledge whenever she has nothing to do.

In the past, Ruan Yihan would complain and chase her away whenever she heard these things. Now, although she is still unhappy, she at least doesn't interfere with what her grandmother says.

Grandma Ruan was a little tired after talking too much during the day, but she still prepared watermelon for Dr. Qin and told her granddaughter: "Give it to her when you come."

Ruan Yihan ignored her. As soon as her grandmother entered the house, she threw the plate of watermelon directly into the trash can.

After opening the door, Ruan Yihan was standing at the door, looking at Qin Haiyao coldly: "You are late."

The light shone over, and Qin Haiyao's face turned pale. She nodded, "I'm sorry."

Ruan Yihan stared at her red eyes for a while and asked, "Have you been drinking?"
