 Chapter 24: Seemingly Low-key but Arrogant in Reality

Qin Mei's quick change of expression left Qin Ruan speechless.

The next second, she burst out laughing.

Her exquisite and beautiful face was as bright as a flower, sweet and charming, incredibly beautiful.

With this smile, even Qin Mei forgot to act, and both of his eyes were fixated on her.

This was the first time Qin Ruan had seen her sister laugh so heartily and genuinely since she returned to the Qin family a year ago.

Her sister was so beautiful when she smiled.

Qin Ruan took a few steps and stood in front of Qin Mei, took the keys from his hand, and punched him on the shoulder.

With this punch, he didn't budge, but her hand felt a little sore.

She could clearly feel the explosive force in her second brother's seemingly thin but actually lean body.

"Why are you so strong? My hand hurts." Qin Ruan pouted and pretended to complain, "If your strong body is hit by a key, I'll be a fratricide. Then I'll be more tragic than Dou E."

Qin Mei had no feeling from the punch.

But when he heard her complaining of soreness, he frowned with a worried expression, quickly hiding his false emotions, and looking concerned.

Before he could speak, he heard Qin Ruan's words from behind. He was stunned, as if he had heard something unimaginable and shocking.

His sister called him second brother!

The word "second brother" was so unfamiliar.

It was so unfamiliar that Qin Mei had been eagerly anticipating hearing it for a year, and now he finally heard it.

He felt as if he was floating in the clouds.

This feeling would be unforgettable for him for a lifetime.

Qin Mei's dazed appearance amused Qin Ruan.

She smiled and looked at her second brother with an affectionate and gentle gaze, as if she were looking at a fool.

The two siblings gazed at each other with deep affection. Anyone who approached them would feel out of place.

Han Xian, who had previously had a gloomy face, changed her expression. She looked worried and walked over to Qin Mei with an anxious expression.

Looking up and down at him, she nervously asked, "Are you okay, ah mei?"

Without waiting for Qin Mei to speak, Han Xian frowned and looked at Qin Ruan in disagreement.

"Ruan Ruan, I know you're not very close to us, but Ah Mei is still your elder brother. How could you hurt him? If old Qin finds out, I don't know how disappointed he will be with you."

Qin Ruan's smile in her eyes faded slightly, and she stared at Han Xian with deep, cold eyes, as if trying to see into her heart.

Under her profound and insightful gaze, Han Xian trembled inwardly.

Under Qin Ruan's gaze, all her darkness seemed to be exposed.

Sensing Han Xian's avoidance of her gaze, Qin Ruan's lips parted, with a resolute and unquestionable tone: "Han Xian, you are the least qualified person in this house to lecture me. I think you should just shut up and not try so hard to seek attention."

This was the first time Qin Ruan had directly confronted Han Xian.

In the past, even if she couldn't stand this woman, she still gave her face.

Han Xian's eyes flashed with a strange light, and at this moment, she finally agreed with her daughter's words. Qin Ruan was really different now.

Since she came in, she had lost the deep-seated inferiority hidden in her eyes, and there was no sense of alienation and closeness to the family.

She was like stepping into her own territory, her posture wilful, seemingly low-key but actually arrogant.

Han Xian was so angry that her delicate face with light makeup turned slightly red, and her eyes were teary.

She pointed at Qin Ruan, filled with sorrow and said, "How could you say such things to me?"

Despite being almost fifty years old, her current expression made her look pitiful, as if Qin Ruan had bullied her.
