Chapter 55: Settling the Grudges of Past and Present

 Chapter 55: Settling the Grudges of Past and Present

Qin Anmin, the elder brother of Qin Anguo, the chairman of the Qin Group.

He is also the great uncle of Qin Jingcen, Qin Mei, and Qin Ruan.

Han Xian has long been in collusion with him.

When she heard the permissive tone on the phone, her face was fierce, and her voice was full of resentment: "Lock up Qin Ruan, Qin Anguo and Qin Jingcen are not in the country now, it's easy to get hold of her."

Her daughter's reputation has been ruined, and Qin Ruan cannot expect to be unscathed.

Regardless of whether or not she is responsible for the hot search incident.

As long as she is safe and sound, it is very annoying.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

Han Xian's tone was gentle: "Thank you, Brother Min."

...

On Monday, when Qin Ruan was in class, her eyelids kept twitching all day long.

Finally, it quieted down in the evening.

The explosive content of the hot search was still hanging online. Someone paid to remove the hot search, but it didn't work.

As a result, it became bigger and bigger. With such a vast amount of online information, almost everyone who surfs the web regularly knows about it.

Han Xian and Han Kexin must have known about it by now.

Will this mother and daughter be hysterical and calculating behind the scenes?

Qin Ruan is not afraid and is waiting for them to make their move.

All grudges, past and present, must be settled.

At night, Qin Ruan lay in bed in the dormitory and soon fell into a deep sleep.

However, she did not sleep soundly.

She dreamed of the scenes she experienced that night at the Imperial Palace Hotel.

That night, Han Kexin said she had something to give her, which was the cheap round jade that she had lost.

Qin Ruan had some small forces to rely on during her eighteen years in the West City. They met each other in their early teens and each had a round jade as a token.

That round jade wall plaque held a different meaning for Qin Ruan.

When she learned that it was in Han Kexin's possession, she went to the designated meeting place as instructed.

Only to find that it was a gathering of Han Kexin's circle.

In order to obtain the jade plaque, she drank the drink that was handed to her.

Alcohol was not unfamiliar to Qin Ruan, who had lived in Xicheng, and she had a decent tolerance.

But the drink that Han Kexin gave her caused her to drink it all in one go.

As her consciousness was about to fade, she bit her tongue tightly, struggling to stay awake with her weak willpower.

She was too weak to resist being dragged and was taken to a room.

After sensing Han Kexin's intentions, Qin Ruan stumbled out of the room.

She found herself walking into another room, not knowing how she got there.

Later on...

A blurry figure appeared before her eyes, and she couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

But she could smell a pleasant scent emanating from him, which attracted her uncontrollably.

With her weak body and fragile willpower, she couldn't help but press herself against him.

He didn't reject her, but instead held her tightly, allowing her to absorb more of his alluring scent.

His hands gripped her waist firmly.

By the strength of his hands and his height, she determined that he was a man, even though she couldn't see his face.

With a gentle lift, she fell into his embrace.

She thought that by smelling his comforting scent, her consciousness would quickly recover.

But instead, the closer they got, the more she lost control and her consciousness faded away.

Her heart was in turmoil, and her willpower was completely gone.

She was defeated without a fight, losing utterly and completely.

"Who are you?" A cold, hoarse voice sounded in her ear.

It was ambiguous and alluring, but at the same time gave her a comfortable feeling like a warm spring breeze.

Qin Ruan tried to speak but couldn't make a sound, instead, she clung to him desperately.

Something approached her neck, carrying a warm temperature.

"You smell so good." He was sniffing her scent.

His voice was so pleasant to listen to, Qin Ruan held onto his clothes tightly, afraid of slipping away.

The two of them stumbled into the only resting place in the room, their breaths unsteady.
