Chapter 2: The Ruthless and Decisive Third Master Hou

 Chapter 2: The Ruthless and Decisive Third Master Hou 

She's back.

She's really back!

It's true that God never fails her!

Qin Ruan couldn't believe it, her eyes widened in disbelief, her body trembling, and her delicate face showing a mixture of surprise and joy, as if she was crying and smiling at the same time.

Beautiful tears welled up in her eyes, and crystal clear drops fell on the silk quilt covering her body.

She was an orphan without parents and had been living in the poor district of Xicheng since she could remember. Xicheng was a place for people from all walks of life.

She grew up in the orphanage, where the children were wild and unruly from a young age.

They survived by mingling among the scoundrels and criminals of Xicheng, who were involved in all sorts of illegal activities, including murder and smuggling. She was inevitably influenced by their evil ways if she wanted to survive in such a harsh environment.

In order to survive in the cracks, Qin Ruan had to accept the poor district that she despised from the bottom of her heart but also belonged to.

That was her home, the place where she had lived for eighteen years.

Even though Xicheng was filled with dirt and all kinds of shady deals, and people disappeared without a trace every day, she still called Xicheng her home.

Eighteen years...

Her short but carefree life memories were all in Xicheng.

When Qin Ruan turned eighteen, the Qin family, a wealthy family in the capital city, came looking for her.

It turned out that she was the daughter of the Qin family who had been lost and living outside all these years, the third Miss Qin of the Qin family.

Years ago, when Madam Qin gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins in the hospital, someone stole the babies. The kidnapper intended to sell the son, who was the second young master of the Qin family, but in a hurry, he mixed up the two babies.

The kidnapper realized that the baby he had stolen was a girl, so he left Qin Ruan in the cold and snow.

At that time, girls were not worth much, and people's thinking was still deeply rooted in the belief that men were superior to women.

Fortunately, Qin Ruan met kind-hearted people who took her to the orphanage.

If she had remained an orphan in the poor district all her life, she might have lived a plain and uneventful life until she passed away of old age.

All tragedies began when she was recognized as a member of the Qin family.

Although she was the legitimate third Miss Qin, she was labeled as an illegitimate child, insulted, degraded, framed, and even slandered, causing her to be separated from her father and brothers.

All of this was done by her stepmother and stepsister, the cruel and chilling mother and daughter.

Thinking about the upcoming ordeal, Qin Ruan's confused eyes gradually became cold, with rays of hatred, anger, and hidden grief deep in her eyes.

She suddenly sat up from the bed, and because of her excessive movements, her body suddenly felt more pain.

Qin Ruan didn't care about the pain, she had to leave here as soon as possible.

This was the hotel where she was once set up by her stepsister and had a ridiculous one-night stand with a stranger.

But it wasn't the same room as the one she had gone through a lot of difficulties before. She had been deceived.

In order to ruin her, her stepsister specially found a wealthy second generation who had a little power and loved beauty, and wanted to defile her innocence.

Unexpectedly, she had a chance encounter with Third Master Hou , a well-known and powerful figure in the capital who was decisive and had high status.

After her stepsister found out, she brazenly carried out a bait and switch.

That woman moved her to the current room and lay beside Third Master Hou .

The mess on the ground in front of her was also deliberately arranged by the other party.

All of this was something that Qin Ruan didn't know about in her previous life, she only learned about it after her death.

This was one of countless times that Qin Ruan had been calculated by her stepsister within a year of returning to the Qin family, and it was the most successful time for her stepsister.

Because of this, she lost everything she had, including the unborn child in her belly.

Qin Ruan lowered her head and touched her flat belly.

After a night of chaos, the child she had lost in her previous life was now being conceived and was here.

This time, she would never allow anyone to harm her child.
