In a blur.
Duanzi opened his eyes, and the severe pain in his jaw made him whimper in agony. He had been helped into the car and was lying on the back seat. He felt weak all over and touched his chin with difficulty, then suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He has been active for half his life.
Following Qin Qin, he had done everything. With his strong skills, basically whenever he was around, he would be beaten by others. Even if he was slightly injured, he had never suffered such a setback. But now he was ambushed in such a small place. He lost consciousness at the time. Not to mention that his jaw was broken, he would not even know it if he was killed.
Qin Qin looked at him with a fierce expression: "What's going on?"
Duanzi opened his mouth and was about to speak, but found that he couldn't even utter a word. His throat seemed to be blocked by something and he could only make unclear "wuwuwu" sounds.
This time, not only the people around him, but even Qin Qin's gaze changed.
No one expected this to happen.
The rain was so heavy that it washed away all the evidence.
Not to mention handprints, there wasn't even a footprint left on the ground.
They analyzed that the man must have been prepared a long time ago, and he must be familiar with the terrain of the mountains, surveyed it in advance, and prepared an escape route, but no matter which possibility it was, he must have been carefully prepared.
The man attacked from behind, and Duanzi couldn't see him clearly. He could only feel from the strength that it was a man.
The incident happened in the wilderness, and there was no surveillance around. Even if there was surveillance, nothing could be seen in such heavy rain. No one passed by in the rain, and we suddenly reached a dead end.
Over the years, they have offended many people, and the person everyone is protecting is Qin Qin. No one dared or thought that they would do such a direct harm to the most powerful Duan Zi. He has offended too many people, and if they check them one by one, they will never be able to figure out the cause.
It has been a long time since Qin Qin suffered such a loss.
She sat on the sofa, turning the ring on her hand, her eyes gloomy.
Next to her was the test report of the liquid that was poured into Duanzi's mouth. She was very familiar with the ingredients in the liquid.
They can't call the police.
Over the years, Duanzi has accumulated a lot of debts. If the police are involved, it will easily cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Duanzi has started to have a fever, his whole body is burning. He has followed Qin Qin through life and death. Many people around her have come and gone, but he is the only one who has not left. The scar on his face was left because of saving her. At this moment, Qin Qin's heart is filled with anger. If she can catch the person behind this, he will be made to suffer a fate worse than death.
“Knock, knock.”
There was a knock on the door.
A taller, younger man bowed slightly and said, "Boss Qin, the young lady is here."
This man is Ying Di, who Duanzi has been training to be his companion just in case. People like them live on the edge of a knife and accidents can happen at any time, so they must train Ying Claw under their command.
Duan Zi has been with him for several years. Although he is still young, there is already a cold and intimidating look in his eyes like Duan Zi.
He is very prestigious in private, and everyone respects him and calls him "Brother Eagle".
Qin Haiyao was wearing all black today, with her black hair tied up, which made her skin look even whiter than snow. The high heels on her feet added a bit of aura to her. She walked in and looked at Qin Qin, saying indifferently, "Didn't you say that I wouldn't look for you unless there was something special?"
These words were indeed said by Qin Qin, and now that they were spoken by her daughter, it hurt her heart.
Days like this shouldn't have been like this for mother and daughter.
If her husband hadn't died, the family would probably sit together happily, eating and joking.
Qin Qin wanted to calm herself down, but the suspicion and anger in her heart made her unable to digest it. "Your uncle Duan was framed, do you know?"
Qin Haiyao nodded: "Xiao Yan told me on the way."
Her tone was so calm, as if she was talking about something very normal.
This made Ying Di, who was standing next to Qin Qin, couldn't help but frown.
She is a family servant after all, is she so cold-blooded
Qin Haiyao walked straight to the sofa opposite Qin Qin and sat down. She crossed her legs, put her hands aside, and said in a cold tone: "If you are injured, you can be treated. If you die, you can be supported again."
Isn't this exactly what Qin Qin is good at
They are all tools of revenge, and the outcome is the same, just a matter of sooner or later.
Everyone around him lowered their heads in silence. Qin Qin stared at Qin Haiyao for a while and said slowly, "His jaw was removed and something was poured into his mouth. He has started to have a fever."
"Fever?" Qin Haiyao smiled: "Then you have to take good care of yourself, don't take it lightly. Mo Mo had a fever like this and her throat was damaged."
Qin Qin looked at her: "My vocal cords have been injured and I can't make any sound."
Qin Haiyao raised her eyes and looked at Qin Qin: "Oh? Why can't you make any sound? Is it like Mo Mo?"
This sentence seemed to confirm the guess in her heart. Qin Qin's eyes suddenly changed, "Did you really do it?"
Qin Haiyao smiled coldly: "Mom, why did you ask me to come here? Have you already determined that I did it? Why did I do this? For revenge? How is it possible? My sister suddenly became like that after having a high fever. You told me so yourself in the hospital last year."
Qin Qin was choked up for a moment. Qin Haiyao looked at her with hatred in her eyes: "Could it be that she was also framed?"
Sharp words and aggressive questions.
Qin Qin looked at her daughter in front of her, and at this moment, she suddenly felt a little strange.
Xiao Yan, who was silent beside him, lowered her voice and said, "The eldest lady has been at home all the time. She has been busy with her sister's surgery recently."
She was explaining on behalf of Qin Haiyao.
Qin Qin also understood that, not to mention the time, she had no power in her hands at the moment and it was impossible for such a thing to be done under her nose.
But she was too calm, and her words revealed that she seemed to know everything they had done to Qin Momo.
He can even abandon his own daughter, let alone others.
To Qin Qin, who was already mad with revenge in mind, "taking human life lightly" was just an idiom and had no deterrent effect at all.
"That's all. I still have to go accompany my sister." Qin Haiyao stood up and walked out. Qin Qin stared at her with gloomy eyes. Xiao Hai was becoming more and more disobedient.
Ying Di was indeed trained by Duan Zi. He only recognized Qin Qin as his master. When he saw Qin Haiyao was about to leave without permission, he stepped forward to stop her.
Qin Haiyao came here today wearing high heels. Ying Di wanted to stop her, but she seemed to have anticipated it. She turned around and kicked Ying Di's leg with her back, "Woo—"
Ten centimeter high heels, and she used more force.
Qin Haiyao's kick made Ying Di feel as if all his bones were broken, and the heel seemed to have dug into his body. He groaned and turned quickly to avoid Qin Haiyao's second kick.
Although he dodged it, he lost his balance and fell on his back.
Qin Haiyao sneered, took a step forward, stepped on him, and stepped mercilessly on his vitals with her high heels.
"Xiao Hai!"
Qin Qin stood up at once, "Enough!"
Qin Haiyao looked down at Yingdi, and sweat dripped down Yingdi's temples. Qin Haiyao smiled coldly, hooked her lips and put some force on her feet: "Even if you are a dog, you still have to know who you can bite and who you can't."
Xiaoyan was stunned watching beside him. She finally reacted at this moment and quickly went over to help Yingdi.
Ying Di's face was pale, and just for a moment, he felt that if his eyes had not softened, Qin Haiyao would really crush him with one foot.
"Xiao Yan."
Qin Haiyao stood at the door, looking at the rain outside and called out in a low voice. Xiaoyan was startled and subconsciously said, "Yes!"
When she came to her senses, she hurried to see Qin Qin.
Qin Qin sat in the boss chair and watched the scene from beginning to end without moving.
"It's raining, take me back."
Her tone was one of request, not pleading.
Qin Haiyao looked at the sky outside the window, thinking that her grandmother's legs might start to hurt again.
Xiaoyan stared at Qin Qin, and Qin Qin nodded and waved her hand.
Ying Di was finally helped out. What he guessed was almost right. Qin Haiyao's kick directly bruised his soft tissue.
How much force she used.
Qin Qin looked at Ying Di, who was standing beside her with a depressed look on his face and got frustrated just now, and said lightly: "She did keep it, otherwise you would definitely have broken your bones."
Obviously, she was dissatisfied with Qin Haiyao's reaction, but at this moment, Qin Qin felt a faint sense of pride in her heart.
This is her daughter.
She is her and Haikun's daughter.
She is smart, skillful, and sometimes even ruthless enough to make people cringe.
Qin Haiyao was born in obscurity. She was taken away from her mother before she was weaned and sent to another home.
She has received various training since she was a child.
Qin Qin had made the worst plan. If it didn't work, she thought about letting her daughter end Ruan Yihan's life, which would also make the old lady suffer.
She just wanted the old lady to feel what it was like to be lonely and fearful after the person closest to her and who she loved the most left her.
Before her rebirth, Qin Haiyao and Ruan Yihan played fighting and grappling games, but those were just little fights between lovers to add to the fun.
She was different from Ruan Yihan, who lived a pampered life and practiced for self-defense and leisure.
When she was very young, Qin Qin would occasionally visit her and check her homework every time.
At that time, Qin Haiyao's legs were covered with purple and blue bruises from the falls, and Huang Lan wiped her nose a lot for this, but Qin Qin just took a quick look, put the ointment aside, and coldly "inspected" the results.
If she behaved well, she might be able to touch her daughter's hair.
If it's not good.
What awaits Qin Haiyao is only more brutal training and cold, harsh words.
Xiao Hai was just a child at that time. She would cry and hug her mother's thighs, but was ruthlessly pushed away by Qin Qin.
"Can't you even do this little thing?"
"You still want to avenge your father?"
“It’s useless.”
"If it doesn't work next time, I will take you away and move you to another family."
…
Qin Haiyao felt that her life was ridiculous, pitiful and sad, and she was nothing more than a revenge machine.
Born with sorrow.
If she wants to.
Now she can defeat Ruan Yihan with one move.
On the way home, Qin Haiyao kept her eyes closed and rested.
During this period, Xiaoyan met her very few times, but every time they met, she felt that she became more tired.
Everyone has an aura.
Young people, under the age of thirty, should have an upward aura.
But Xiaoyan felt that the person who was most familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar to her was like a bent rose, about to wither and die.
"Xiao Yan."
Qin Haiyao suddenly opened her eyes, and Xiaoyan, who was driving, was startled. "What, what happened?"
After seeing how she treated Ying Di, Xiao Yan actually developed an inexplicable fear of Qin Haiyao.
Qin Haiyao looked at the rain outside the window, which was like silver threads. She asked slowly, "What does your father look like?"
dad
Parents are always the tenderest place in people's hearts.
Although she didn't know why Qin Haiyao asked this suddenly, Xiaoyan's expression relaxed unconsciously. "He is a conservative old man. He likes to quarrel with my mother over trivial matters on weekdays, but he is most afraid of me."
When saying this, Xiao Yan unconsciously sounded a little childish. "He doesn't know how to express himself, but he has always been good to me silently. A few days ago, he called me and asked me when I could come back. I asked him if he missed me, and he directly handed the phone to my mother. My mother smiled and told me that he didn't just miss me, he almost wanted to cry."
Qin Haiyao also smiled slightly after hearing Xiaoyan's words.
"He would forget his own birthday, but he would never forget my mother and me. He was very patient and always had a smile on his face when he came home no matter how hard or tired he was..."
When talking about her father, Xiaoyan spoke more unconsciously.
It turns out that this is what father is like.
Qin Haiyao felt warm just listening to it. She smiled lightly. Xiaoyan looked at the smile in her eyes and suddenly shut up.
Days like today.
She should be sad.
Although Xiaohai has never seen his father since he was born, which child doesn't hope for fatherly love
Xiaoyan's family is not well off, but she has never lacked love from her parents. Compared to Qin Haiyao, she suddenly feels that she is much happier.
What if you have a lot of money
So what if you were born rich
Xiao Hai's life is more tiring and difficult than anyone else's.
When they were almost home, Xiao Yan looked at Qin Haiyao and said cautiously, "Xiao Hai, if you do this, President Qin will get angry."
Everyone knows the consequences of Qin Qin's anger.
Qin Haiyao looked at her calmly after hearing this, "I'm already in hell, why would I be afraid of being burned by fire?"
Xiaoyan shut her mouth and stopped talking silently.
Such a day, such weather.
Qin Haiyao felt depressed and sad, but had no way to release her feelings.
At this time, the only person she wanted to see was Ruan Yihan.
She wanted to see her.
Even if she was sarcastic, even if she insulted and cursed her, she just wanted to see those clean eyes and see the smile on her lips.
The wound on Ruan Yihan's arm has healed and formed a scar, and she is no longer needed.
She told her that she was not even qualified to be a plaything.
So... what excuse should she use to meet her
She helped her sister...
Qin Haiyao thought that it was only right and reasonable for her to express her gratitude.
The rain finally showed signs of subsiding.
Ruan Yihan was originally at home accompanying her grandmother. After receiving the phone call, she stood up suddenly, and was so excited that she didn't even bother to put on her coat and just grabbed it and ran out.
Grandma Ruan asked from behind: "Where are you going? Where are you going, Ah Han?"
I haven't seen my granddaughter look so happy in a long time.
Ruan Yihan smiled, she turned her head and shouted, "Wait for me, grandma, I'll be back to eat hot pot together!"
…
When I got downstairs, a red jeep was already parked there with the door half open. A pair of long legs were swinging unrestrainedly in the rain, and exciting music was playing in the car.
The legs were long and thin, white as porcelain, with red strings hanging on the ankles, which was very sexy.
On a rainy day like this, everyone is trying to avoid the rain, but this person can stroll leisurely in the garden and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
"Yueyue!"
Ruan Yihan shouted excitedly. Hearing this address, the music in the car paused for a moment. Jiang Zhenyue got out of the car. She was wearing a pink long skirt, standing in the rain, swaying in the wind. She also wore a hat askew, exuding a fashionable aura of "You don't understand the aesthetics of artists". "Ruan Yihan, I said, if you call me like this again, I will kill you!"
"Got it, Yueyue." Ruan Yihan smiled brightly, she was happy from the bottom of her heart: "Let's go, grandma is at home, waiting for you to eat hot pot."
No matter why she came, Ruan Yihan was happy as long as she came.
Eat hot pot? Remember what she likes to eat? This guy is not without conscience.
Jiang Zhenyue picked up Mei and took out a bag from the back seat.
Ruan Yihan took a look and said, "Is it for me? What is it?"
Jiang Zhenyue curled her eyes, "You are so beautiful that I can't stop you."
The two of them walked in one after the other, talking to each other. When Grandma Ruan, who was lying on the sofa, saw that it was Jiang Zhenyue, she sat up excitedly: "Zhenyue, you are here??? Come on, come in, it's been so long, why didn't you come to see grandma?"
When they were young, Ruan Yihan and Jiang Zhenyue often played together. Jiang Zhenyue had a bad temper and often quarreled with other children. Ruan Yihan was not someone who could be easily provoked. Many times, when Grandma Ruan came home, she saw her granddaughter holding her butt and crying with snot bubbles on her face, and she kept shouting, "Help!" Little Zhenyue was as happy as a cat on the run, and poked her butt from behind with the fairy magic wand she bought, "Hualala, change! Dog egg!" Poke it again, "Hualala, change! Black donkey!"
Grandma Ruan smiled helplessly. Fortunately, the child was a little older and the two of them wouldn’t fight with each other anymore.
She heard from Ruan Yihan that Xiao Zhenyue still had a bad temper and was a bit unsociable. She always painted by herself with a canvas and ignored everyone.
Grandma Ruan went to see her once during a parent-teacher meeting, and clearly saw Zhenyue staring at her granddaughter. That look... was particularly gentle. Perhaps it was the prejudice from childhood that made Ruan Yihan always a little afraid and avoid Zhenyue. After all, it was a matter between children, so grandma didn't ask too much.
Later, grandma also heard that the Jiang family went bankrupt. In the meantime, Ruan Yihan secretly went to Uncle Jiang to try to get him a project. Grandma turned a blind eye to it, but later heard from Ali that Ruan Yihan was still rejected after Zhenyue found out.
Zhenyue is Zhenyue. From childhood to adulthood, no matter what she has experienced, her pride has not changed, and she does not need anyone's sympathy or pity.
After that incident, Ruan Yihan never contacted Zhenyue again.
It was the grandmother who vaguely saw Zhenyue sitting on the flower bed downstairs on her granddaughter’s birthday last year. The grandmother was old and her eyesight was not good. When she put on her reading glasses and wanted to see clearly, the person was gone. She did not tell her granddaughter about this, fearing that she was dazzled.
Although Jiang Zhenyue had a hot temper, she was always polite to her grandmother. She handed over the bag in her hand: "Grandma, here are the pineapple cakes you like."
Ruan Yihan looked back.
Jiang Zhenyue immediately said, "No sugar."
Seeing Ruan Yihan ordering the servants to prepare food, Jiang Zhenyue lowered her voice and said, "You lied to her, grandma. It's full of sugar. Eat less."
Grandma Ruan looked at the bag and her eyes narrowed into slits due to her smile.
Still, Zhenyue understands her.
Rainy days are suitable for eating hot pot.
Ruan Yihan sat aside and boiled vegetables for her grandmother. Her grandmother was old, her teeth were fine, but she was too picky about food. Like an old child, she only loved to eat meat and had difficulty eating vegetables.
Soon, a war broke out in the house.
Grandma Ruan roared like thunder: "I don't eat vegetables, am I a rabbit? You keep picking vegetables for me! I am an elderly person and need to ensure adequate nutrition!"
Ruan Yihan coaxed her like a child: "Is your nutrition not adequate? You are fat and your wrinkles are gone. You look like a 30-year-old girl."
Jiang Zhenyue was eating French fries and drinking Coke next to them, laughing loudly and not trying to stop the fight.
She has always been like this, never feeling constrained anywhere and living freely and capriciously.
I ate half of the meal.
Grandma Ruan was chased away by Ruan Yihan to rest. After all, she was old and not strong enough. She yawned and looked reluctant: "Zhenyue, come back to see grandma later. You two can chat for a while."
Jiang Zhenyue smiled with her willow-leaf eyes: "I know, go ahead, grandma. I'm afraid you'll get tired of seeing me later."
These words made Ruan Yihan, who was picking up meat, pause. She looked at Jiang Zhenyue.
Jiang Zhenyue also looked at her. Under the bright crystal lamps in the restaurant, her skin was so white, and her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Ruan Yihan: "Boss Ruan, how much salary are you going to pay Secretary Jiang?"
Ruan Yihan watched her long eyelashes fluttering. After a moment, she smiled and said, "Give me as much as you want."
Is she really coming
Ruan Yihan stared at Jiang Zhenyue, who picked up a crab stick and said, "Boss Ruan, is it because you became the CEO that I noticed you've changed?"
Changed
Ruan Yihan touched her face and said, "Pretty now?"
Jiang Zhenyue smiled, the corners of her lips slightly raised. She raised her slender fingers and waved them in front of Ruan Yihan: "You are not as talkative and cheerful as before. There always seems to be something hidden in your eyes, full of temptation."
This is...
That's what I said.
Ruan Yihan's heart was poked hard, she wanted to fight back but was speechless.
Jiang Zhenyue wiped her fingers with a tissue. "I know what you want to ask. Longxiong did cooperate with our family, but that's the old man's business." She raised her eyebrows. "A rich girl like me is not suitable to worry about him. I am only suitable to serve a delicate bss like President Ruan."
Only Jiang Zhenyue's sharp mouth could say such words. Ruan Yihan smiled, and the frown that had been on her face for days relaxed. Her heart became soft, as if it had been soaked in honey.
"But—" Jiang Zhenyue stretched out her tone, her eyes looking at Ruan Yihan: "I came here to be your secretary, how do you repay me?"
Ruan Yihan shook the wine glass in her hand and said, "We haven't even started working yet, and you're already negotiating terms?"
Jiang Zhenyue was always domineering: "Is it not possible? I am good at what I do. I am definitely Yi Yang's most outstanding, beautiful and excellent secretary."
Ruan Yihan was amused. She was shaking her wine glass and was about to speak when the doorbell rang.
Who will come at this time
Ruan Yihan looked at her watch, her expression changed slightly, and she was about to stand up, but Jiang Zhenyue got there first, "Boss Ruan, please sit there. I'll take care of this little thing."
The door was opened.
A gust of moisture came with the scattered raindrops, bringing with it a faint lemon scent.
Qin Haiyao stood outside the door and stared at Jiang Zhenyue in a daze. Jiang Zhenyue was also a little stunned.
The glances between women always carry a hint of comparison and sharpness.
Jiang Zhenyue looked at Qin Haiyao from top to bottom, and Qin Haiyao looked at her as well. At that moment, her head felt buzzing as if it was being pricked by a needle.
—You don’t deserve it. No matter what the reason is, you have hurt her and you don’t deserve to stand by her side anymore!
I have no power and influence, and cannot compare with you, but I have a life, and I can fight you to the death!
In this life, I can't snatch you away, but if there is an afterlife, I will make her fall in love with me, Qin Haiyao, just wait and see!
…
That moment.
There was a flash of lightning in the sky, and the cold wind seemed to blow into Qin Haiyao's bones. She was frozen and lost the ability to react. Ruan Yihan walked over with a peeled shrimp in her hand, smiling, "Who is it?" When she saw Qin Haiyao, her face suddenly darkened.
Jiang Zhenyue looked at Qin Haiyao, then turned to look at Ruan Yihan's expression. Her eyes moved slightly and she asked, "Who is she?"
