Out of control and sinking

Chapter 77 Let me share a bowl of rice with a dog
Jiang Ruan looked up, her red lips pressed tightly together, her gaze complex and conflicted. She closed her eyes briefly and said, "It's true."

"What she said was true."

Jiang Ruan looked at Sister Qin, her eyes filled with unconcealed sorrow, her fingertips dangling on her legs tightly gripping the hem of her skirt, creating wrinkles.

The knuckles of his fingers were tinged with an undeniable whiteness.

Her red lips moved slightly: "I am not Jiang Ruan."

"I chose this name myself."

"My real name is Chen Miao."

Unexpectedly, she admitted it directly, which stunned Sister Qin for a moment, but after all, she was a person who had seen it all in the entertainment industry.

She quickly recovered, frowned, and calmly asked, "So how do you plan to resolve this now?"

"What just happened will definitely be on the front page tomorrow. So many people are watching. The company can spend money on marketing, but it can't shut everyone up."

"We need to come up with a solution as soon as possible. The new drama is about to air, and revealing your background at this time would be very disadvantageous for you. Many celebrities in the entertainment industry have had their careers collapse like this, and then they could never get back up, do you understand?"

"I see."

"I'm sorry, Sister Qin," Jiang Ruan said. "I lied to you."

"Harmful."

Sister Qin sat down, took Jiang Ruan's hand, and said, "It's okay. So many celebrities in the entertainment industry appear glamorous on the surface, but how many of them actually come from wealthy families? We're used to this kind of thing. Baby, can you tell me everything about your life from childhood to adulthood?"

"I need to know these things to help you figure out what to do next."

Jiang Ruan said, "Okay."

Then he told Sister Qin everything that had happened to him from childhood to adulthood.

Jiang Ruan spoke in a very calm tone.

But only she knows how unsettled she is. Even after all these years, she still can't forget the hurt some people caused her.

But there was one thing she didn't tell Sister Qin.

Regarding the debt of three million, and Bo Ye.

Jiang Ruan harbored selfish motives.

Besides, they didn't have much of a future anyway.

After hearing her story, Sister Qin was shocked, and her eyes were filled with heartache for her.

She held Jiang Ruan's hand tightly and sighed, "I'm so sorry to have troubled you, baby."

"I never imagined you'd endured so much hardship. No wonder," Sister Qin said. "No wonder when I first met you, I noticed a tenacity in you that others didn't have. Even though you're still a student, you're nothing like those pampered girls. You're not afraid of hardship and you're determined to do everything well."

That's why I took a liking to you at first sight.

Jiang Ruan was deeply moved, but managed a smile: "Without Sister Qin, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"Alright, that's something you achieved through your own hard work." Sister Qin gradually became serious: "If we follow your logic, then we're the ones with the advantage."

"Even if it's revealed that you are Chen Miao, we can still play the emotional card to grab attention. The public has discerning eyes."

"Plus, that woman was cursing at you like that on the spot; she didn't act like an aunt at all."

Sister Qin said, "Leave this to me. Anyway, the press conference is over. You can rest well at home for the next couple of days."

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Okay."

Then, remembering something, Jiang Ruan thought for a moment and said, "Sister Qin, I'd like to meet her first."

"I don't know why, but I have a feeling that her sudden appearance today was not an accident, but that someone was directing her behind the scenes."

Sister Qin asked in surprise, "Why would you think that?"

"She never realized I was Chen Miao all these years, how come she suddenly found out now, and just happened to be here at the press conference for her new drama?"

Jiang Ruan said, "Jiangcheng is a very remote little place, and information in the village is not as developed as it is outside."

Jiang Ruan then told Sister Qin about being followed by a car that night.

Upon hearing this, Sister Qin's expression immediately changed: "You mean someone is watching you?" Jiang Ruan nodded: "Yes."

Sister Qin gritted her teeth in anger: "Damn it, don't let me find out who she is. If I find out, I'll definitely kill her."

"No, honey, I'll arrange a few more bodyguards for you."

"Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."

Sister Qin was extremely nervous.

Jiang Ruan is her most prized artist and also her favorite girl.

For whatever reason, she couldn't let anything happen to Jiang Ruan.

"No need, Sister Qin," Jiang Ruan said. "I've already arranged for a private car driver to pick me up and drop me off every day."

"He is very capable, so there is no need to worry about my personal safety."

Sister Qin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

"I'll have someone investigate right now. Don't worry, I'll definitely find out the truth about this."

Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Sister Qin."

He said it, but his smile wasn't as bright as it used to be.

Sister Qin was heartbroken.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Jiang Ruan took the security guards to see Fang Cui.

Fang Cui was being held in the room at this time, and the police were still on their way. Once they arrived, they would hand her over to the police.

The door opened, and Jiang Ruan saw Fang Cui sitting on a chair with her legs tied.

Upon seeing her arrive, Fang Cui was first taken aback, then burst into a tirade: "You little bitch, how dare you let them tie me up! Get over here right now and untie me!"

Jiang Ruan turned to look at the security guards behind her: "You guys wait for me outside."

"Yes."

"Miss Jiang, please be careful." The security guard said, "This woman is a bit mentally unstable. She kept smashing things, so we had no choice but to tie her up."

"Okay, thank you," Jiang Ruan said.

The door was closed, shutting out the sounds from outside.

Jiang Ruan, holding up her strapless dress and with her long hair flowing over her shoulders, looked at Fang Cui like a princess.

Fang Cui was still yelling: "Don't think that just because you're a big star now you've risen to a high position. An ugly duckling is an ugly duckling for life. If I hadn't taken you in, you would have starved to death on the streets long ago."

"You little bitch, hurry up and untie me."

"You slut, you slut!"

She was swearing and cursing.

Jiang Ruan listened quietly, letting Fang Cui vent her anger for a while, until Fang Cui got tired of cursing.

The sound gradually faded; they were dying of thirst.

Jiang Ruan's calm voice rang out, her tone indifferent: "I remember from the time I can remember, you've been cursing me like this, calling me a little bitch all the time, telling me why I don't just die, that I was born to go to a brothel."

Jiang Ruan curled her lips into a mocking smile, not afraid that she might suddenly pounce on her, since she was tied up.

Jiang Ruan lifted her skirt, moved closer to Fang Cui, and stared intently at the middle-aged woman in front of her with her dark eyes: "My father died when I was three years old. That's right, you adopted me, and I've been with you for fifteen years."

"I've been beaten and scolded by you for fifteen years."

"From childhood to adulthood, I have never had a single patch of healthy skin."

“When you’re in a bad mood, you hit me. When you lose at cards, you pick up a pair of pliers and smash it on my head, leaving me bleeding profusely and in the hospital for half a month. You whip me, pour hot water on me, and don’t give me food, making me share a bowl of rice with a dog.”
