next day

Ruan Qian'an sat quietly on the bed. The door was pushed open by someone outside. It was the maid from yesterday. She raised her chin high, her eyes filled with contempt for Ruan Qian'an.

After the maid came in, she lifted the door with her foot and walked slowly to Ruan Qian'an. She handed Ruan Qian'an a tray of scalding hot medicine, looked at her with her nostrils, and gestured for her to drink it. Anyone who didn't know better would think that this person was the master of the house.

Ruan Qian'an raised her hand, pushed the tray away, and asked innocently, "Are you trying to scald me to death?"

The maid said in a high-pitched, sarcastic tone, "Some people don't have the life of a princess, but they have the princess syndrome!"

She glared angrily at Ruan Qian'an, then her eyes darted around as if she had come up with a bad idea.

Using Ruan Qian'an's strength, she leaned to the side, intending to spill the scalding medicine on Ruan Qian'an's body. However, Ruan Qian'an saw through her intention and pushed her back. The maid did not expect Ruan Qian'an to react so quickly.

Caught off guard, she was splashed with the scalding hot medicine, which instantly caused her to scream like a pig being slaughtered.

He picked up the tray and tried to smash it hard at Ruan Qian'an, but Ruan Qian'an was prepared and dodged it.

The maid rushed forward and raised her hand, intending to slap Ruan Qian'an, but Ruan Qian'an grabbed her hand instead.

A loud slap echoed throughout the large room, and then, to the disbelief of the servants, she slapped the other side.

Ruan Qian'an shook her numb hand from fanning herself and said in a good mood, "Are you happy? Now it's symmetrical."

The maid never expected that Ruan Qian'an, who was usually so gentle and weak, would actually rebel today, and was driven to the brink of collapse by her series of actions.

She shook off Ruan Qian'an's hand and rushed forward, wanting to teach Ruan Qian'an a lesson.

As the maid rushed over, Ruan Qian'an kicked her in the stomach, and the maid instantly lost her strength and collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.

Hearing the noise, Ruan Qingyu pushed open the door and entered. Seeing the maid lying on the ground, she looked as if her mother had died, tears welling up in her eyes, and began to accuse Ruan Qian'an: "Sister, you are so wicked, how could you treat someone like this?"

The nanny grabbed Ruan Qingyu as if she had seen a savior and began to cry, "Miss Qingyu, I really can't take care of this person anymore. He beats and scolds me all the time. Look at these burns on my body and the injuries on my face. I may be a maid, but I'm still a person! Tell me, is there no human rights left?!"

She described herself as as miserable as possible.

Ruan Qingyu helped the nanny up and, as if she had caught Ruan Qian'an red-handed, continued, "Sister, you're no longer the eldest daughter of the Ruan family. Tune in with your spoiled princess attitude." Her words, spoken in an extremely soft and gentle tone, were like daggers piercing the heart, but unfortunately, Ruan Qian'an didn't care.

Ruan Qian'an sat on the bed with her legs crossed and asked casually, "Is my room some kind of garbage dump? All sorts of trash come here."

Ruan Qingyu, shielding the maid behind her, said indignantly, "Sister, if I hadn't come, would you have wanted to beat her to death?!"

Ruan Qian'an found it amusing to see the servant hiding behind Ruan Qingyu acting like a bully, and she said to Ruan Qingyu, "If you keep nagging, I'll beat you up too."

Ruan Qingyu trembled with fright. She knew this usually arrogant person really dared to beat her, and for a moment she didn't dare to say a word.

If she hadn't drugged Ruan Qian'an, making her somewhat foolish and like a pure white lotus, she might not have been able to deal with Ruan Qian'an, Ruan Qingyu thought gloomily.

At that moment, a dignified voice rang out: "Who do you want to hit?!"

Ruan Qian'an looked over there and thought to herself that it was the head of the Ruan family who had returned. What a boring development. She had thought she would have a chance to slap Ruan Qingyu.

As if she had found a protector, Ruan Qingyu ran into Ruan Tang's arms and cried out aggrievedly, "Daddy."

Ruan Tang looked at Ruan Qian'an with a serious expression and shouted angrily, "I asked you who you want to hit? I think you really don't know your own limitations!"

Sitting alone on the bed, Ruan Qian'an looked defiantly at her family members standing against her and said, "Whoever acts like a jerk, I'll hit them. What? You can't?"

Ruan Tang was angered by Ruan Qian'an's unrepentant attitude and stepped forward to slap her. Ruan Qian'an smiled and said, "Have you thought about whether you want to hit me? Are you sure you dare to? Don't forget who you're going to marry into Huo Jingmo's family with? Are you trying to embarrass the Huo family? You dare to do this just because he's a cripple? Aren't you afraid of the Huo family's retaliation?"

The series of light, casual questions made Ruan Tang abruptly stop writing.

Ruan Tang's chest heaved violently as he took deep breaths. Ruan Qingyu patted Ruan Tang's chest and said, "Dad, don't get angry with your sister. It'll hurt you if you do."

Ruan Tang gritted his teeth and said, "She's not your sister. The Ruan family only has one daughter, and that's you! So you're not allowed to call her 'sister' anymore, understand?"

Ruan Qingyu nodded obediently and said, "I understand, Dad."

When he looked at Ruan Qian'an, his eyes were filled with undisguised smugness.

Ruan Tang: "I think you really don't know what's going on. Don't feed her for the next few days, let her learn her lesson! It would be better if she starved to death!"

After saying this, he took Ruan Qingyu out and said gently to her, "Don't be afraid, Dad will take care of you."

Ruan Qian'an relaxed when they left, thinking to herself, "Look, this is the kind of family affection you once wanted. This person is stingy with you, but has never been stingy with others."

Ruan Qian'an scoffed inwardly. She didn't care anymore. Maybe she would have when she was confused, but the clear-headed Ruan Qian'an would never have.

--

These past few days, the Ruan siblings have continued to deliver herbal medicine to Ruan Qian'an every day as usual, but what they don't know is that Ruan Qian'an has become immune to the medicine.

When Ran Zhi appeared at the Ruan family's house, Ruan Ming felt something was wrong. Why was she here? Hadn't she left long ago? He had used tricks to make the two of them break up before, so why were they back together now?

Ruan Ming gritted his teeth. In his eyes, Ruan Qian'an and Ran Zhi were both very proud people. How could they lower their heads? Could it be that they saw through his tricks? No! It seems he really underestimated Ruan Qian'an!

Before Ruan Qingyu could even ask who this person was, Ruan Ming dashed upstairs.

Confused, Ruan Qingyu stepped forward timidly and asked, "Hello, may I ask who you are and what brings you to my house?"

Ran Zhi looked at the sickly woman in front of her with confusion and said, "I should be asking you that! Who are you, and what are you doing at Ruan Qian'an's house?"

Ruan Qingyu gritted her teeth upon hearing this, and a truly aggrieved expression appeared on her face: "Sister, this is my home."

Then he lowered his head as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Ran Zhi got goosebumps from Ruan Qingyu's appearance. I rubbed my arms and asked, "Where is Ruan Qian'an? I came to find her."

Ignoring whether Ruan Qingyu would answer her, she walked past Ruan Qingyu, disdainfully tossed her flamboyant red hair, and shouted with a strong voice, "Ruan Qian'an, your sister is here!"

Ruan Qian'an was leisurely reading a book in the room when Ruan Ming rushed over and, without saying a word, unlocked her handcuffs. Then she heard a loud shout.

She chuckled.

Ruan Ming gritted her teeth: "Was it you who contacted Ran Zhi? I thought you had a lot of backbone, but I didn't expect you to apologize to Ran Zhi. But even so, your marriage to Huo Jingmo will not change."

Ruan Qian'an blinked her beautiful eyes and said in a sickeningly sweet tone, "Brother, you're overthinking it. I just haven't seen Ranzhi in a long time and wanted to catch up."

Nguyen Thanh An is currently very "weak," at least in the eyes of Nguyen Minh and Nguyen Thanh Ngoc.

Ruan Ming helped Ruan Qian'an out. Standing on the second floor, she saw that flamboyant red hair. The person happily opened their arms and waved to greet her.

Looking at such a vibrant and passionate person, Ruan Qian'an sighed. In their past lives, both of them were waiting for the other to lower their head and make that phone call, but in her past life, her mind was so muddled that she had long forgotten Ran Zhi.

Ruan Qingyu, standing to the side, looked at Ran Zhi with a sinister expression. When she met Ruan Qian'an's gaze, she smiled gently at her.

She ignored Ruan Qingyu and greeted Ran Zhi happily: "Ran Zhi, you're here."

This was the happiest thing for her since her rebirth. Even though she hadn't been able to see her best friend in her previous life, she hadn't been able to apologize to her.

Ran Zhi ran up to the second floor and came to Ruan Qian'an's side. She pushed Ruan Ming aside and said to him, "Alright, alright, Ming-ge, now is our time to catch up. You should go away."

Ruan Ming was not offended by these words, but just smiled helplessly: "Alright, it's been a long time since you've seen each other, have a good chat."

But when Ran Zhi couldn't see, he glared at Ruan Qian'an, warning her not to say anything she shouldn't.

Ruan Qian'an curled her lips and nodded provocatively, her eyes full of playfulness. It was this very look that made Ruan Ming so angry that he couldn't catch his breath.

The two returned to the room.

Ruan Qian'an gestured to Ran Zhi not to speak, and pointed to the surveillance camera in the dark.

Ran Zhi nodded and said, "Qian An, tell me what you want to see me about."

Ruan Qian'an spoke in a cold tone: "Can't I just catch up with you?"

Ran Zhi: "Reminiscing? What old times do we have to reminisce about? I wish I could chop you up. I'm giving you face in front of your brother, but you'd better not take advantage of me."

Ruan Qian'an sighed, realizing that the tone of her words was quite harsh; it would be better to ignore the smirking expression on Ran Zhi's face.

Ruan Qian'an beckoned Ran Zhi over to look at her phone screen, which showed Ruan Qingyu and Ruan Ming wearing headphones and listening to something.

Ran Zhi couldn't help but laugh.
