The moment blood filled the air, Qin Qin knew that she could no longer control Xiao Hai.
She is no longer the naive child she used to be.
Qin Haiyao calculated that Qin Qin would not dare to call the police, and calculated that she would not dare to admit that she was her daughter in front of everyone.
That's why she acted so openly.
She also wore the Qin family ring and came to let Qin Qin see it with her own eyes. See what she is? She is not just a lamb to be slaughtered at will, a chess piece to be used at will, she is also the heir of Nanyang, the only descendant of the Qin family.
What kind of life was she supposed to have
All of this was something Qin Haiyao had never thought about before. Because she had Momo and her parents who treated her like their own daughter, her life could be a little poor, but she was happy.
But Qin Qin was going to deprive him of his only family member.
Qin Haiyao couldn't help hating after being hurt again and again, and losing Ruan Yihan was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. She could no longer bear it.
If... If it weren't for her mother's hatred, Qin Haiyao thought, what kind of life would she live
Qin Haikun is the only son of the Qin family, and she is Qin Haikun's only daughter.
She should be like Ah Han, the apple of the family's eye, a rich girl who is cherished at the top of her heart.
She is not greedy for power, status, wealth or wealth.
What she coveted was a fair and innocent encounter with Ruan Yihan.
Every painful midnight, Qin Haiyao couldn't help but think about it.
Ah Han...
If, that's how they started.
It was a meeting between two daughters of an aristocratic family. Perhaps, she didn't have to be so unbearable and didn't have to use such despicable means to seduce her to fall in love with him.
No need to be in fear by her side every day, no need to be entangled in the vortex of love and hate, sinking deeper and deeper.
Maybe, she could also be like Wenlian, looking at her smile openly, watching her gracefully when she played the piano, and getting closer to her little by little.
Qin Haiyao is confident that Ruan Yihan can fall in love with her.
That kind of love is pure and sincere, without any impurities, and can last a lifetime.
But now, she hated her, hated her to the core.
…Just thinking about it makes my heart ache and I can’t breathe.
Qin Qin knew that Qin Haiyao had been in contact with Qin Hailong for a long time, but in her eyes, her daughter had always been weak and docile. If she hadn't arranged for her to get close to Ruan Yihan, she would have lived a campus teaching life filled with the fragrance of paper and ink, and she wouldn't have been able to do anything even if she was angry.
But now, Qin Haiyao has not only reached the level that makes Qin Qin look at her in a new light, but also makes her feel terrified.
Qin Qin's life was full of calculations. She had spent most of her life calculating. Not to mention Ruan Yihan, even someone as shrewd and wise as the old lady was deceived by her.
But this time, she fell into the hands of her own daughter.
Qin Haiyao was pressed to the ground. The people holding her down didn't know her relationship with Qin Qin, so they used all their strength.
The skin on her face rubbed against the ground, which must have been very painful. Her face was covered in blood and she couldn't tell whether it was Qin Qin's or her own. But Qin Haiyao was still smiling at her, with tears streaming down her face.
Qin Qin pressed her hand on the bleeding hand. Even though the stinging pain from the cut had made her whole body tense, there was still no expression on her face.
At that moment, she looked at her daughter and suddenly thought of her husband.
They are becoming more and more alike.
The same eyebrows... the same smile...
At that moment of trance, something was whistling in my heart.
—Let her go. Let her go.
…
cannot!
Taking a deep breath, Qin Qin turned around. Her hand was seriously injured. Most people would have collapsed long ago, but she just pressed it and said calmly: "Let her go."
She asked her men to let go of Qin Haiyao and watched her leave.
For the first time in my life, I felt out of control.
It was given to her by her daughter.
Qin Haiyao staggered to her feet, took off her coat, and casually wiped the blood off her face. As soon as she stood up, the people around Qin Qin immediately stepped forward to block Qin Qin and took a defensive stance.
Qin Haiyao's dagger had been taken away by Ying Di's men, but such an unarmed woman still made people fear and panic.
She stared at Qin Qin, staring at her intently.
Qin Qin pursed her lips, moved her hand slightly, and she hissed, and the blood spurted out again. Qin Haiyao still looked at her, staring at her intently. Even if she no longer had the dagger in her hand, even if she was controlled by someone, she would never give up until she got an answer.
Until Qin Qin sighed heavily, "I won't touch Qin Momo again."
Xiao Hai then smiled and walked out slowly. Everyone looked at her and automatically made way for her. No one dared to stop her.
The moonlight is bleak.
The shadows of the trees rustle.
Qin Haiyao felt like a walking corpse, wandering the streets. She did not go home directly. Her parents and sister were all in the hospital and were about to leave. She no longer had a home.
After wandering like a ghost for a long time, Xiao Hai went to the oasis home.
That was clearly the place where Ruan Yihan asked her to stay and held her, but at this moment, she was extremely eager for it.
She missed that hug, missed Ruan Yihan's smile, and missed the faint minty scent on her body.
But she no longer belonged to her.
After taking off all her clothes and entering the bathroom, Qin Haiyao stood under the shower, feeling the warm water flowing over her body, taking away the blood that was entangled with her mother.
In front of her was a thousand paper cranes, with even the last bit of blue being invaded by black.
He should be a close relative.
A long, long time ago, Qin Qin once hugged Qin Haiyao and kissed her forehead gently: "Our little Hai is eighteen years old. From now on, you will be a big girl. Mom hopes you are happy."
Qin Qin also stayed up all night to watch over her when she was sick. When she woke up drowsily, she saw her mother holding the blue paper crane in her hand. Qin Haiyao secretly took it, opened it, and saw the words on it. She smiled secretly.
—Xiao Hai, mommy’s little baby.
Later... everything was ruined, and the accumulated hatred had already destroyed Qin Qin's remaining love.
She will never forget that final scene.
When she hurried over, Qin Qin and Ruan Yihan were in a tense situation, staring at each other with guns pointed at each other.
Ruan Yihan's face was covered in blood, and her eyes were full of burning hatred. Qin Qin looked at her with an indifferent look, "Ah Han, it's better for you to know, so that I won't have anything to worry about even if I go down to see your Uncle Qin."
Ruan Yihan was like a madman, more violent than ever before: "Kill you, I will kill you!"
Kill her
Qin Qin curled the corners of her lips and looked at her daughter who rushed in: "If it weren't for Xiao Hai, I wouldn't have kept you until now."
She turned to look at Qin Haiyao and smiled faintly: "Xiao Hai, Mom promised you to let her go, but she was unwilling to do so."
As soon as he finished speaking, at the same time, "bang" and "bang" gunshots were heard.
The ground was covered with blood... Qin Qin, who fell down last, looked at Qin Haiyao in disbelief. The blood at the corner of her mouth flowed down a little bit. She seemed to want to laugh, but also seemed to want to cry: "Really... Mom's good daughter."
Qin Haiyao closed her eyes and placed her hand on her chest, as if the bullet was still inside and causing her pain.
Turned on a light.
Qin Haiyao huddled in the corner, hugging herself for a long time.
…
Ah Han, Ah Han... Ah Han...
Ruan Yihan had already gone to bed at home that night, but she didn't know what happened, maybe it was because of Qin Momo's incident during the day, she slept uneasily, and in her dreams, she saw Qin Haiyao.
She watched Xiao Hai kneeling on the edge of the cliff, clasping his hands together, and said devoutly to the sky: "I do..."
The next second, she looked down the cliff and whispered softly, "Ah Han."
She jumped down with a smile on her face.
All the scenes replayed in her mind as quickly as reflections, and someone whispered hypnotic words in her ear.
—She took your place, you can go back.
…
No!!!
Ruan Yihan woke up from the bed, sweating all over, her back was wet, her pajamas were sticky on it, and she was breathing heavily. After she calmed down for a while and made sure it was just a dream, she picked up the phone next to her.
After opening the first message, Ruan Yihan's expression changed. The content was very simple, with only a few words.
—They met, dagger, blood.
Ruan Yihan couldn't fall asleep anymore. She looked at the bright moon outside the window, and the doubts in her heart grew stronger.
What is going on between Qin Haiyao and Qin Qin
Or is it a self-torture tactic? This self-torture tactic... is it too realistic
What is it all for
A night of coolness.
Tossing and turning all night.
When Ruan Yihan got up the next day, her grandmother was already awake, perhaps because she hadn't slept all night either.
The old lady sat on the sofa in the living room, leaning on a cane, her silver hair combed meticulously: "Are you awake?"
Ruan Yihan looked at her grandmother's red eyes. She felt uncomfortable and blamed herself. She walked over and asked, "Why don't you sleep?"
After saying this, she wanted to slap herself. Why didn't she sleep? It was because of what she showed grandma last night.
Although the things Ruan Yihan showed the old lady yesterday were shocking and unbelievable, every word and sentence was well-organized.
Even Ruan Yihan listed what kind of lines Qin Qin used in Myanmar in the later period and who they were.
Many of those people's names sounded familiar to the old ladies, and many of them were Qin Haikun's former subordinates. Apart from her and Hailong, no one else in this world knew the information so clearly.
I can't believe it, but I have to believe it.
People are like this.
Even if there are many confusing details in your mind, you still cannot see the outside world unless someone breaks the window paper.
The old lady had found out a lot about Qin Qin before, but she always treated her like her own child and turned a blind eye to her. As long as she was not as bad as Hai Kun was back then, she could tolerate her.
She was old, and after losing several children, she had lost her energy and spirit.
She just hopes that her family is well.
But now it seems that she needs to re-check many things and confirm them one by one.
In the morning, the old lady called Wang Lin over and said, "Go check all the records of the school where Qin Qin studied abroad the year Haikun died, as well as the files of all the surrounding hospitals that year."
Qin Qin just had the ability to conceal the truth. After all, she had given birth to a child. She just didn't believe that she couldn't find any clues.
Wang Lin looked at the old lady in confusion. They had already checked these things back then. He even met Qin Qin's mentor in person.
Grandma Ruan pondered for a moment and said, "Come with me to look for Hailong this afternoon."
Wang Lin was stunned. This... was going to alarm the Second Master
He didn't dare to say much and could only do as the old lady told him. Grandma Ruan's temper had been softened a lot by her granddaughter over the years, and now her eyes had rekindled their former sharpness.
The morning light shone into the house. Grandma Ruan stared at her granddaughter for a while. She touched her face silently and said, "Ah Han, grandma feels sorry for you."
Ruan Yihan was about to cry after hearing her grandmother's words. She sat down on the ground like she did when she was a child and rested her head between her grandmother's legs.
Grandma Ruan touched the tears on her face and said, "Grandma knows what you are thinking and what you are afraid of. Don't worry, Grandma promises you that she will not get what she wants."
There was determination in the old lady's eyes. She would do everything in her power to protect her granddaughter. She herself could live in any way, but if someone pointed a knife at Ahan, she would never let that person have an easy life, no matter who he was.
"What you need to do now is to adjust your mindset. You can't just break down your body when nothing has happened and defeat yourself. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. Did you not sleep all night last night?"
In her eyes, Ruan Yihan is still a child. She has been protected by her family since she was born. After her parents left, she treated her like the apple of her eye.
If it's really like what she said...
What did she go through in her previous life
The betrayal of my lover, the betrayal of my aunt who was as close to me as my mother, the departure of my only relative...
Deserted by everyone…
Cliff jumping…
How desperate and heartbroken she must have been.
Ruan Yihan nodded, she looked into her grandmother's eyes and said softly, "Well, I will take good care of myself."
For her, and for grandma.
Grandma Ruan stroked her hair. It seemed like they hadn't had such a good conversation for a long time. "Ah Han, don't just agree with me. Grandma knows you feel bad, but after all, it's all in the past, just like an illusion. The more you insist on it, the more painful it will be. Let's find a way to solve it together. There is still a lot of time. Live in the present."
She still had a trace of doubt in her heart. It was not that she doubted her granddaughter, but there were several items in the things she recorded that Grandma Ruan thought had changed. At least according to the information she had, it was completely different. Among them, the most important person involved was Qin Haiyao.
Judging from the text recorded by her granddaughter, Grandma Ruan could fully understand why she lost control and flew into a rage at Dr. Qin time and time again.
She really deserved it all.
But what the old lady found was not like what Ah Han described, and Qin Haiyao was obviously not a simple puppet who followed her mother to seek revenge and obey orders.
Grandma Ruan looked at her granddaughter. She knew that her emotions were still in a state of great fluctuation, so she concealed her doubts and did not say to her: "Go to work."
This is a matter of life and death, and it is not a trivial matter. It will take a long time, so she has to take it slowly, investigate it one by one, and figure out the right and wrong involved.
The old lady has lived to such an old age, having seen her husband, good friends and son pass away. To be honest, she is not afraid of death, and sometimes she even has a faint hope when she misses her husband.
What she was worried about and couldn't let go of from beginning to end was her granddaughter.
She would never let her be persecuted, lonely, desperate and miserable after she was gone.
"Um."
Although she didn't want to admit it, with the strong support of her grandmother, Ruan Yihan felt that she was a completely different person. Before, she was full of hatred towards Qin Qin but was also very cautious, fearing that there would be problems in any link or that she would be suspected of something. Now, with the support of her grandmother, she felt more confident. It seemed as if the heavy stone in her heart had been moved away, and there was finally a gap for her to breathe in.
It's a sunny morning.
Ruan Yihan got busy as soon as she arrived at the company. She took off her coat and took the coffee that Jiang Zhenyue handed to her: "Is President Zheng here today?"
Jiang Zhenyue nodded and looked into Ruan Yihan's eyes. Although her dark circles were heavier, she seemed to be much more relaxed.
Ruan Yihan smiled and said, "Yueyue, don't keep staring at me like that. I might misunderstand that you're in love with me."
Jiang Zhenyue's face turned red all of a sudden. She stared at Ruan Yihan and bit her lip, with a hint of seriousness in her eyes: "What's wrong? Is your nose or mouth crooked? Is it not okay?"
Is it not possible
If someone else had said this, Ruan Yihan would have definitely thought too much, but since he was her childhood friend, she stretched her neck and said, "Okay, okay, okay." She looked at her watch and said, "Let's ask him to come in in ten minutes."
Jiang Zhenyue nodded and looked at Ruan Yihan, not knowing what to feel.
What she had seen most often before was Ruan Yihan's appearance as a girl, which was mostly soft, tender and immature. Now, her domineering aura hinted that she had become the true heir to the Ruan Group.
This kind of her should be attractive.
But for some reason, Jiang Zhenyue missed her teenage self more. She often stared at Ruan Yihan recently, as if she wanted to see the phantom of her youth.
"How's the arrangement going with Leng Ning?"
Ruan Yihan adjusted her sleeves, and Jiang Zhenyue replied, "She is already a top-tier fashion celebrity. She is dissatisfied with us using a third-tier brand like Zhengfa exclusively. Now she requires us to wear Zhengfa's clothes throughout the six-month recording period. In yesterday's live broadcast, she inadvertently complained to her fans about her dissatisfaction and contempt."
Leng Ning is well-known in the circle for her tough and straightforwardness. She speaks out her mind about things she doesn't like without any reservation. In the live broadcast yesterday, when fans asked her sister what her recent plans were, she said she was going to shoot a variety show. Fans enthusiastically asked her what kind of variety show it was. She said it was outdoors, so everyone naturally said it must be cool and handsome. Leng Ning didn't give Zheng any face to send a vg, and directly said to the fans: "Cool and handsome? You don't know how many bubbles have grown in the heads of the production team. What kind of clothes did they choose for us? When I put on those clothes, I want to go to the countryside to plant rice or do a set of radio gymnastics on the spot. Oh, don't say it, you can watch it yourself later."
…
Ruan Yihan simply instructed: "Don't keep an eye on her agent too much, and don't let her go on the hot searches for now."
Jiang Zhenyue nodded and went out.
Ruan Yihan had already made arrangements for the follow-up, and everything was going according to the planned route. With wave after wave of attacks, Zheng Fa had no way to escape.
What does a trendy brand need most
Quality, style, price… and reputation.
Zhengfa does not have an advantage in the first three aspects. Ruan Yihan will start with word of mouth this time. She not only wants to make them lose all their money but also kick Zhengfa out of the market.
Didn't Mr. Zheng always want to create a national brand? She curled her lips and said, "Then let's create a national brand."
Because she had just taken over Ruan's company not long ago, Ruan Yihan relied on Nanyang's cooperation framework, and the main programs were supported by people arranged by Qin Qin.
By then, the company's reputation will really decline, the stock price will plummet, Zheng Yi will collapse, and Mr. Zheng will be furious.
Ruan Yihan really wanted to see whether Mr. Zheng would still follow the Qin family and lick their boots, and whether Qin Qin would still look down on her son-in-law, and how Qin Haiyao would snuggle in the arms of her fiancé, haha.
Today is the day to sign the contract.
The fish she was fishing finally took a bite.
In order to get this exclusive opportunity, Zheng Yi revealed all of Zheng Fa's past. When signing the contract, his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
Ruan Yihan was drinking coffee beside him and looking at him with a smile on her face.
With this contract, if everything goes smoothly, Zheng Fa's line of supporting Qin Qin's hidden industrial chain in the later stage will be cut off.
Maybe some things will change, but Ruan Yihan will try her best to pave the way for everything within her ability.
Such a big contract has been signed.
At noon, of course, we have to have a meal together and entertain the guests.
Ruan Yihan was the host and took her directly to Ruan’s Judongfeng Restaurant.
This restaurant was built by Ruan Yihan's father himself. Every detail was designed by him and the overall style of the restaurant is ancient.
The red lanterns are hung high, the tall golden pillars with coiled dragons are magnificent, the eye-catching bright red lacquer, the domineering armchair are magnificent and grand enough.
Ruan Yihan also specially asked Ali to pick out some good wine. Zheng Yi took off his suit jacket, and his face was flushed with excitement before he even had dinner.
He had no idea what Ruan Yihan was planning. He only knew that after he got the exclusive this time, Zheng Fa, who had been on the verge of death, would suddenly become very successful, and he would finally be able to hold his head up in front of the old man. As for Xiao Hai... he would also have the right to fight for it in the future.
"Mr. Zheng, what do you think of this place?" Ruan Yihan was wearing a black casual suit with a white shirt from Bingcan underneath, exuding a charming and domineering aura.
Zheng Yi was very relaxed and looked around: "It's really good, but there are fewer people eating, it's a bit cold."
He had originally planned to bring one of his vice presidents with him when he came today, but for some reason, Ruan Yihan refused with a smile, saying that she had other plans.
Mr. Ruan’s arrangement
He is quite looking forward to it.
How did Ruan start his business? An entertainment company.
Zheng Yi thought that Ruan Yihan would most likely invite one or two celebrities or models from the circle to come over. He had been tense for so long and finally managed to get through with his grandfather. It was time to relax.
Sure enough, it was just as he expected.
After Ruan Yihan made a phone call, the door was quickly pushed open.
Although the Zheng family is not as big as wealthy families like the Ruan family and the Qin family, he is also considered a second-generation family that can enter the circle. It is difficult for him to get in touch with big names on a daily basis, but he has met many second- and third-tier celebrities.
He didn't have any thoughts at first, but when Wang Di walked in wearing a white cheongsam, high heels, and with a graceful and attractive figure, his eyes were wide open, and his first reaction was that this woman looked too much like Qin Haiyao.
It’s just… Although Wang Di was cold, it was only on the surface. When she looked at him, her eyes were full of a woman’s charm and tenderness.
This was something Qin Haiyao had never experienced before with him.
Wang Di's eyes were full of affection and the corners of her mouth were curled with a smile. Without Ruan Yihan's instructions, she sat down next to Zheng Yi. She picked up the cup next to her and said, "Mr. Zheng, it's our first meeting. Please take care of me."
She leaned forward slightly, her eyes hooked on Zheng Yi, and a scent of jasmine came over along with that fullness. Zheng Yi's face turned red, and his heart was already hot before he drank the wine. He actually stuttered a little: "You, you... You look a little unfamiliar to me?"
He should be a newcomer who hasn't entered the circle yet, right
Wang Di curled her lips, her eyes were full of affection, and she said in a delicate voice: "The first time is strange, the second time is familiar, Mr. Zheng, just watch it a few more times."
These words were so sweet and soft that they ruffled Zheng Yi's heart like spring water. How could he refuse? He picked up the wine glass beside him and drank it all.
Ruan Yihan watched the interaction between the two people with a smile on her face and didn't say much.
After a glass of wine, Zheng Yi remembered that Ruan Yihan was still beside him. He felt a little embarrassed: "Mr. Ruan..."
"It's okay, it's okay." Ruan Yihan waved her hand, very generous and understanding: "You guys chat about your things, I have people here too." She picked up her phone, opened Qin Haiyao's WeChat, sent the address, and left a message.
—Come here wearing a cheongsam.
