"Mr. Ruan."
Qin Haiyao's voice was trembling, and there was a hint of pleading in her eyes: "Can we talk outside?"
Although it was class time, the teacher for the next class had gone in and the corridor was quiet with few people passing by.
But the school is surrounded by surveillance cameras, and what if a student or teacher passes by...
Ruan Yihan looked at her, one hand on the windowsill, cruelly and coldly said: "No."
The cold wind blew, ruffling Qin Haiyao's long hair. She was silent for a long time, lowered her head and said softly: "Yesterday... I didn't go there because there were some things at home. My sister was sick."
Ruan Yihan didn't move. She looked at her calmly, trying to determine how much truth there was in her words.
Qin Haiyao raised her head and stared at Ruan Yihan with a pair of fragile and pleading eyes: "Mr. Ruan, I beg you, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can vent it to me, don't involve my students."
Ruan Yihan was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "I'll give you three days to think about it."
Qin Haiyao bit her lip.
Ruan Yihan: "Today is the last day." As she said that, she put her arms around Qin Haiyao's waist. Qin Haiyao's body stiffened and she wanted to push away but didn't dare to.
The warm breath sprayed on her neck, burning Qin Haiyao's body and trembling slightly. Ruan Yihan stared at her eyes for a moment, then she lowered her head and buried her lips in her neck. "This is the warning from yesterday."
Qin Haiyao reached out to push her away, but she didn't dare. In the end, she endured it silently, her cheeks flushed pink.
Ruan Yihan raised her head, stared at Qin Haiyao with her dark eyes, looked at the blush on her face, smiled sarcastically, shook her head, and turned away.
Qin Haiyao looked at her, touching her neck with one hand, her eyes full of loneliness and sorrow.
Under the dark blue covered by the scarf, there was a faint pink.
When Ruan Yihan came out, Ali was sitting on the side of the road, with her sleeves rolled up and her trouser legs rolled up, and she was drinking a bottle of Coke in her hand.
She was quite relaxed when she arrived at the university campus, and recalled the time when she and Ruan Yihan went to college together.
Ruan Yihan was a well-known figure in school back then, a campus bully who was not to be messed with by anyone.
In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and the dashing girl back then has become the almighty President Ruan.
Ali still felt a little lonely. She always felt that Ruan Yihan was not happy after becoming the president.
If possible, she would rather choose to go back to her youth.
Ruan Yihan crossed her arms and looked down at A-li: "Are you pretending to be young?"
Look at that ruffian look.
Ali smiled and stood up quickly: "Why did you take so long? What did you do?"
"Class." Ruan Yihan answered indifferently. She opened the car door and threw a ball of paper in her hand to A Li.
Ali took it and opened it. There was a phone number on it. "What is this?"
Ruan Yihan raised her eyebrows: "Go find Teacher Sam to give her some pointers. She's a little girl with a talent for painting."
Ali: …
Don’t tell her, Ruan Yihan was gone for so long just because of this
Ruan Yihan sat in the passenger seat, and thinking about Qin Haiyao's frightened expression when she saw her talking to Nini, a chill seeped into her heart.
There is a difference between humans and animals after all.
Even if it happens again, she will take revenge on the Qin mother and daughter, and will never be so cruel as to attack a little girl.
It seems that in the eyes of Dr. Qin and Teacher Qin, she is really a "beast".
Ruan Yihan narrowed her eyes and the corners of her lips rose slightly.
Yeah, very good.
It must be an immense shame for someone as noble as Dr. Qin, as elegant as Teacher Qin, to be toyed around by such a beast like her.
She looked forward to the day when she would collapse.
On the way.
Ruan Yihan bought some low-sugar pineapple cakes for her grandmother. That was her favorite. Fearing that her blood sugar would be too high, Ruan Yihan had never given it to her before, and even if she did, she would control the amount. Now... She always thought of the tragic scene before her rebirth, and Ruan Yihan couldn't help but want to satisfy her grandmother.
Life is short.
Even if it's a rebirth.
She also didn't know what tomorrow would be like for her.
Qin Qin is a strong rival, and Qin Haiyao is not as weak and helpless as she appears.
If she wasn't careful, she would fall off the cliff like before and leave no trace.
Return home.
Grandma was sitting at home peeling walnuts for her. She was wearing reading glasses and her hands were moving while her eyes were fixed on a piece of material.
Ruan Yihan was amused when she saw this: "What are you doing? You're acting like Grandma Squirrel. Didn't I tell you to look at less?"
"I'm not blind." Grandma Ruan rolled her eyes. "Come here and eat the walnuts." The way they get along has always been to squeeze each other. She can't say any compassionate words to her granddaughter, and often roars at her, but her heartache is real.
Grandma Ruan felt that her granddaughter might be under too much pressure recently. One night, when she got up to go to the bathroom, she actually heard her granddaughter screaming.
Grandma was startled and ran into Ruan Yihan's bedroom, where she saw her sweating all over, her face pale, her hands grasping wildly: "No, no, grandma... don't..."
Grandma Ruan was heartbroken at the time. She knew her granddaughter was having a nightmare and wondered if she had put too much pressure on her.
Combined with the conversation between Ruan Yihan and her that day, the old lady also began to realize something.
Ruan Yihan ate walnuts while handing over the pineapple cake, "Here."
Grandma Ruan's eyes lit up when she saw it. Ruan Yihan snorted coldly: "Eat less. Don't say I didn't warn you. I'll glue your dentures off later."
Grandma Ruan was furious, "You little bastard!"
Ruan Yihan ignored her and looked down at the documents in her grandmother's hand: "What are you doing?"
There were a lot of names on it, all written one by one by my grandma with a pen, and some were marked with ticks and crosses.
Ruan Yihan looked casual on the surface, but she was actually taking it seriously.
She was surprised.
These people on the list are all descendants of the Nguyen family’s elders. Many of them have inherited their father’s business and taken root in the Nguyen family.
Grandma Ruan snatched the paper away and said, "Go away, go eat it and don't ruin it. What do you know?"
Grandma kept chattering away, she was making plans for her granddaughter.
Over the years, although she completely trusted Qin Qin, she also always valued her work ability.
But Ruan Yihan's words that day reminded her that this was the Ruan Group after all, and everyone in the group was respectful and loyal to Qin Qin. What had happened
Isn't this the granddaughter being sidelined? How can she grow up quickly like this
In this case, she might as well arrange some reliable people to be around her granddaughter.
Even though Grandma Ruan is old, she still has dignity. She would occasionally go to Yi Yang. Many of the younger people there were very respectful and admiring of her, treating her like a god.
After all, it is the Ruan Group, and it is the empire built by the Ruan family with hard work.
Qin Qin has done a lot to win people's hearts over the years.
But at the root, many people have xenophobic thoughts and think she is an outsider.
Ruan Yihan was pushed aside by her grandmother with a smile on her face, and she didn't know what to feel.
In fact, from her psychological point of view, she didn't want to involve her grandmother.
She is not young anymore and has to wear reading glasses even when reading documents.
But…
Ruan Yihan had to admit that she was no match for Qin Qin at the moment.
Qin Qin is a terrifying and powerful opponent.
She is ruthless, meticulous and merciless. Ruan Yihan can only try her best to stabilize her with her cynical illusion. If one day in the future, they confront each other openly, Ruan Yihan doesn't know what her chances of winning are.
Grandma is the person who loves her the most.
Even if she didn't say it, Ruan Yihan knew that she must have understood and seen through something.
After rebirth.
Ruan Yihan couldn't sleep all night. Sometimes, when she finally managed to take a nap, she was awakened by nightmares.
Days like this... can be described as a new life, or they can be described as a living hell on earth where one is walking on thin ice.
If she wasn't careful she would fall again.
night.
Qin Haiyao was going to Ruan's house. After the warning in the morning, she had no choice but to go.
When she returned home in the afternoon, she took a short rest and dreamed again.
In the dream, Ruan Yihan was lying on the bed, wearing only a black gauze skirt, and she took a shower and came out wearing only a bathrobe.
"You're smoking again."
Qin Haiyao walked to the bedside and gently pinched Ruan Yihan's mouth. Ruan Yihan raised her eyebrows, smiled and kissed her hand, "I didn't."
Qin Haiyao lowered his head and looked into her eyes. Ruan Yihan's body became a little stiff. Before she could react, Qin Haiyao deprived her of her breath.
With such intimacy, no secrets can be kept.
In the end, Ruan Yihan was lying on the bed with a red face and panting. Qin Haiyao supported the bed with one hand, her long hair sliding down her shoulders, and she smiled: "Do you still want to lie to me?"
…
—Sister, sister.
Qin Haiyao was pushed awake by her younger sister. Qin knelt on the bed silently, looking at her sister anxiously and worriedly.
Qin Haiyao slowly opened her eyes, with traces of tears still at the corners of her eyes.
—What’s wrong with you, sister
Qin Momo was extremely worried. What kind of nightmare could make her sister cry like this
Qin Haiyao lay quietly on the bed for a long time. She said slowly, "Momo, didn't you always want to know what happened to the hostess in the story of rebirth that my sister told you?"
Qin Momo was a little stunned, wondering why her sister suddenly moved here.
Qin Haiyao looked at the ceiling. "The relationship between people is very subtle. Some people will disgust you the first time you meet them and make you want to stay away from them immediately, while some people will make you fall in love with them at first sight and you will never be able to refuse them." Her voice was very soft and her eyes were sad. "It turned out that in order to live, she was punished by death. Like reincarnation, the gods left her with a familiar feeling but erased all the memories of pain and love. She forced herself to face it, but it deepened again and again and hid in the dark with those unbearable things. When she was exhausted, it quickly backfired and drowned her, torturing her to a life worse than death...but she could never escape."
Qin Momo blinked her long eyelashes and looked at her sister, not quite understanding.
—Since it’s so hard, why doesn’t she give up
Qin Haiyao did not respond, but blinked her wet eyelashes and slowly closed her eyes.
When I went to Ruan's house in the evening, it was grandma who opened the door.
As soon as Grandma Ruan saw Qin Haiyao, she smiled happily, revealing her dentures, "Come in quickly."
She lowered her voice, "Ahan is asleep, you come in first."
Qin Haiyao changed into slippers and walked in. She stood aside respectfully. Grandma stared at her with a smile and said, "She is in the room. She fell asleep after dinner. She seemed very tired."
Qin Haiyao nodded and stared at her grandmother.
Grandma Ruan turned around to make herself some cereal. She could only eat these snacks secretly when Ruan Yihan was asleep.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this kid. I’ve been controlling her a lot lately, not letting her eat this or drink that. It’s so annoying.
"Let me do it, Grandma."
The call of "Grandma" was gentle and familiar. Qin Haiyao rolled up her sleeves and walked over. Grandma Ruan was surprised. She turned around and looked at Qin Haiyao. Calling her grandma? ... Could it be that her granddaughter really did something to her? ?
Qin Haiyao didn't seem to notice. She took the cereal from her grandmother's hand and started mixing it for her.
Grandma Ruan is old, and she doesn't know how to cook anything accurately. When she was young, her cooking was not delicious. Now that she is old, she can't even cook these little things well. Her granddaughter is even more useless. She always makes too much or too little, and the food doesn't taste right.
Qin Haiyao was very serious. She was wearing a sapphire blue silk shirt, which made her complexion look brighter and her eyes more energetic than usual. "Here, old lady."
When she turned around again, her name changed again.
Grandma Ruan stared at her: "You..."
"What's wrong?" Qin Haiyao stared at Grandma Ruan, thinking it was too hot and she didn't want to drink. Grandma Ruan shook her head: "Oh, it's okay."
This oatmeal is really delicious.
It's the concentration and taste she likes.
Inevitably, she had a better impression of the girl. However, when she thought of the cold and fierce look on her granddaughter's face when she talked about her, Grandma Ruan hesitated for a moment.
"Come, Dr. Qin, I cut some fruit for you."
Grandma Ruan led people to the living room. Since her granddaughter was asleep, she could have a good chat with Dr. Qin and explore the way.
She had already sent people to investigate Qin Haiyao.
Grandma Ruan had sent people to investigate Qin Haiyao earlier and knew her family very well.
My grandmother had experienced a lot of hardships, and the Ruan family motto was that one should never judge a person's character by their family conditions, money, or material things.
She is even more so.
On the contrary, I admire Qin Haiyao for being able to come from such a family and work hard to get into medical school and study hard to become a teacher.
In the eyes of the elderly, professions such as teachers, doctors, and policemen, although they do not earn much, are much more reliable than doing business.
Qin Haiyao was adopted by Qin Shan and Huang Lan since she was a child. Both of them are kind and warm-hearted. Although their family background is average, they both care about their children's education. Qin Qin also had a special training. She has been practicing piano since she was a child, is proficient in music theory, and her temperament has also been influenced.
She sat there, the light shining on Qin Haiyao's face, she stood very straight, with a unique aura, different from the domineering granddaughter, she was gentle as water and made people feel good.
Grandma Ruan pulled her aside and asked her questions. The old woman always talked a lot, and Qin Haiyao answered carefully and patiently. In the end, she ate the cantaloupe cut by her grandma and took out a gift from her bag.
These days, every time she comes, Grandma Ruan will receive her.
Qin Haiyao naturally had to return the gift politely. The gift she chose was very much to the old lady's liking. It was a small, exquisite radio. She liked it as soon as she saw it and immediately thought of her grandmother.
"Madam, I heard from Mr. Ruan that your eyesight is not very good and you can't watch TV for a long time. You can use this."
Grandma Ruan liked the radio as soon as she saw it. The style was not too flashy and the color was her favorite silver-gray.
She was fiddling with it in her hands when the door was pushed open with a creak. Ruan Yihan was wearing wine-red pajamas. She was half asleep, and her clothes were loose, revealing her round and delicate shoulders. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Grandma, I'm hungry."
When people are in a daze, they may occasionally experience brief mental confusion.
It's like waking up from a dream, and for a moment you can't tell whether it was a dream or reality.
Ruan Yihan looked at Qin Haiyao and yawned: "Xiao Hai, I want to drink pimple soup."
As soon as these words came out.
Grandma Ruan and Qin Haiyao were both stunned, and they looked at Ruan Yihan together.
Ruan Yihan paused, her head became clearer, and she seemed to realize what she had said.
The three of them were silent, each with their own thoughts.
Grandma was naturally happy and delighted.
But the situation between Qin Haiyao and Ruan Yihan is complicated.
Qin Haiyao stood up and said, "Okay, Mr. Ruan, I'll do it."
The voice of "Mr. Ruan" completely pulled Ruan Yihan back from her sleepy state. The confusion in her eyes faded away, and she turned around and looked at Qin Haiyao.
His gaze turned cold again.
Grandma Ruan sensed the strange atmosphere, and she quickly came out to ease it: "Ah Han, look how sensible Dr. Qin is. He knows that grandma's eyesight is not good and she can't stare at the TV for a long time, so he bought a radio for her."
radio
Ruan Yihan turned her head and her hair stood on end instantly.
The style, appearance and color of the radio were exactly the same as the one Qin Haiyao bought for her grandmother before her rebirth.
Many past fragments quickly replayed in my mind.
"Xiao Hai is a good girl, you should take care of her."
"As long as you are okay, grandma is afraid of being lonely, so you should come and keep me company more often."
"Xiao Hai, the one you love the most and cherish the most in your heart, is my illegitimate daughter, the child of Hai Kun and I."
…
A bloodthirsty rage rose in her heart. Ruan Yihan took a big step forward. She snatched the radio from her grandmother's hand without caring about anything and almost out of control, and threw it heavily to the ground with a "bang".
The radio fell to the ground with a loud noise, which scared grandma so much that her heart trembled and her hair stood up.
The moment the radio was smashed, there was a "bang" in Qin Haiyao's mind as if something broke and there was a roar in her ears. She looked at Ruan Yihan in a daze, and so many images suddenly crowded into her brain, buzzing.
—Xiaohai, Xiaohai, why do you treat me like this
I love you so much.
Qin Haiyao, do you believe in karma
Grandma, I'm here to accompany you.
…
Ruan Yihan's face turned red and her eyes were bloodshot. She was not satisfied even after falling down. She stomped heavily on it until the last shell was crushed to pieces.
Grandma was terrified. She quickly grabbed Ruan Yihan's arm: "Ah Han? A Han! What are you doing?!"
This person looks like he is mentally ill, even his grandmother finds it scary.
Ruan Yihan pushed her grandmother away. She seemed unwilling to let Qin Haiyao go. She grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the house with gritted teeth.
Grandma Ruan was anxious behind him: "What are you doing? Ah Han, what are you doing?"
With a bang, she slammed the door shut and threw Qin Hai against the wall. "Don't get close to my grandma!"
This time, she used all her strength.
Qin Haiyao must have fallen very hard, and her wrists were left with bright red marks. She slumped on the ground, looking at Ruan Yihan with blurry eyes, as if she was dazed.
“Did you hear that?!”
Ruan Yihan's breathing was rapid. She stared at Qin Haiyao and said these words with gritted teeth.
She can't.
The tragedy that happened before must never happen again.
Grandma must stay by her side.
Qin Haiyao half-knelt on the ground, her long hair draped over her shoulders, hiding the fragility on her face. She supported herself on the cold floor with one hand and relaxed for a moment. She looked at Ruan Yihan, tears falling from her eyes.
—Sister, is it true that people can be reborn as you said
—Is it really that magical? Can many people be reborn together
—What is the cost
—When did you know
—The pain deepened again and again, hiding in the dark along with all the unbearable things, and quickly backfired and overwhelmed her when she was exhausted, torturing her to a point where she would rather die than live...but she could never escape.
…
Qin Haiyao looked at Ruan Yihan, who was staring at her with gritted teeth and eyes full of hatred. Her body and heart went cold. The pink paper crane that she always carried in her pocket had turned black around the outside as if it had been burnt.
Her punishment finally began to arrive.
