Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Qin Group, Ruanruan’s Future Dowry

Old Chen’s wife collapsed on the spot, slumped in Huo Chuan’s arms, unable to stand.

"I knew it! I knew he was hiding money, and he thought this old method of hiding money could escape my notice?"

She complained about Old Chen while crying uncontrollably.

Looking at his wife in this state, Old Chen’s face was full of sorrow and tears twinkled in his eyes.

Unable to bear seeing his life partner this upset, Old Chen looked away.

He continued to his daughter: "Under the mattress where your mom and I sleep, there’s also more than three thousand yuan."

Yuan Yuan repeated it to her mother.

Old Chen added: "And in the innermost part of the sofa cushion, there’s some pocket money for you after your college entrance examination, about two thousand. You don’t need to tell your mom about this."

"Dad..." Yuan Yuan broke down in tears again.

"Time’s up." Qin Ruan gave a reminder with a pale face.

The Heavenly Eye that opened for Yuan Yuan drained Qin Ruan’s own strength and relayed backlash to her.

She could hold on a bit longer.

But it might affect her health.

Qin Ruan didn’t want to risk any potential harm to herself or the child. Time was up. She had to stop.

Hurriedly, Old Chen instructed Yuan Yuan, "Yuan Yuan, don’t think about your dad after this. You and your mom should live a good life. If... if she can find another man, try to persuade her to move on."

"Dad, don’t go, don’t go! I can’t bear to lose you!"

Yuan Yuan tried to hug Old Chen, but Qin Ruan held her back tightly.

She warned sternly, "You mustn’t touch him."

Old Chen also wanted to hug his daughter. He could only mimic the movements of hugging Yuan Yuan in mid-air.

His slow movement was heartbreaking to witness.

Old Chen’s face gradually turned pale, his figure turning eerie; regardless, Yuan Yuan wasn’t scared.

She cried out, "Dad, don’t go, I beg you not to leave me, do not leave mom and me!"Old Chen was clearly upset, but forced himself to smile.

His mouth wide open, he lovingly reassured his daughter, "Once dad leaves, you have to be good. Don’t let men trick you. Most of them are no good, your dad knows because he is a man too. They are wolves in sheep’s clothing.

You have to keep your eyes open, find someone good to you, you don’t have to settle for a good-looking exterior, find someone who will take care of you, understand?"

The matter that concerned Old Chen the most was his daughter’s marriage.

Looking at his wife who had been with him for decades collapsed on the side, Old Chen insisted again, "Live a good life with your mom from now on, and forget about me."

"I know, dad, I know!!"

Yuan Yuan’s crying was heart-wrenching, full of despair.

Even though Old Chen’s wife couldn’t see anything, she almost passed out from the overwhelming grief.

Qin Ruan’s hand slowly left Yuan Yuan’s head.

"Yuan Yuan, dad loves you!" Old Chen quickly said.

Yuan Yuan heard it and her sorrowful eyes widened.

This was the first time she had ever heard her dad say that he loved her.

Once the hand left her forehead, she couldn’t see her dad anymore.

But she still cried out, "Dad, I love you too, I love you so much! In the next life, I still want to be your daughter, wait for me! Dad! I love you!!!"

The volume of Yuan Yuan’s crying was so intense that it echoed throughout the building.

Neighbours from across the way opened their doors to see what was happening.

People from downstairs ran upstairs after hearing the commotion.

Qin Ruan picked up the bag of cash previously thrown on the ground by Old Chen’s wife and once again placed it in her arms.

"He’s gone now. Live a good life with your daughter. There’s not much money in this bag, but not too little either, keep it as a spare for Yuan Yuan."

After finishing her words, under the curious gaze of the onlookers, Qin Ruan turned around and walked downstairs.

Old Chen was escorted by Qin Ruan to an unpopulated apartment building.

A Heavenly Eye Envoy came to take him away.

The entire process only took a few minutes.

Death is as fleeting as the extinguishing of a lamp.

...

When Qin Ruan was brought home by Huo Chuan, there were visitors at the Qin Family.

In the sitting room of the Qin Family.

Qin Anguo, Qin Jingcen and Qin Mei were seated side by side.

Sitting across from them were a middle-aged couple and a petite woman.

These were new faces to Qin Ruan.

Her presence caught the attention of everyone in the room.

The middle-aged wife looked at Qin Ruan, a glint in her eyes: "This must be Qin Ruan, right? The girl is really pretty."

Qin Mei sneered upon hearing this. Despite their distance, Qin Ruan could hear him clearly.

Considering how the guests could also clearly hear him, it was hard for them to ignore.

The three guests’ expressions changed but the middle-aged wife was the first one to recover, acting as if nothing had happened.

Qin Anguo was angered: "Qin Mei!"

Qin Mei held back a smile: "I didn’t mean anything else. Given how much Ruan Ruan and I resemble each other, isn’t saying she’s beautiful the same as complimenting me? I can’t help feeling uncomfortable."

This was clearly him making a fuss over nothing.

But who could blame him given these people’s scheming attitude towards the Qin Family assets?

It was hard for young master Qin not to get angry.

The middle-aged woman was quite tactful and quickly smiled: "You can’t compare boys to girls. Your sister is truly beautiful while you’re a handsome young man, brimming with positive energy."

Qin Mei’s face improved a bit, but there was still a hint of hostility in his eyes when he looked at the visiting family.

Qin Ruan walked towards them, unsure of what was going on.

Qin Anguo patted the seat next to him, "Ruan Ruan, come sit beside dad."

After hearing his call, she obediently sat by her father’s side.

"This is Aunt Tang, Uncle Tang... this is their daughter Tang Ya, you should call her sister Ya."

Having been introduced by Qin Anguo, Qin Ruan directed her attention to the three people and sent a small nod their way as a greeting.

As for addressing them, there was a mental barrier she simply couldn’t overcome.

Patting Qin Ruan’s hand, Qin Anguo continued the previous conversation towards the Tang Family, "Ruan Ruan is my only daughter. She’s suffered a lot outside, I owe her dearly. Therefore, she is the primary heir to the company, Jingcen also agrees with this."

Upon hearing this, Tang’s father, who lacked his wife’s tact, became immediately agitated.

"Brother-in-law, she’s a girl after all, she will get married eventually. Are you planning to have the Qin Group as her dowry? When we engaged them, you didn’t say anything about discarding Jingcen as the heir."

With a blank expression, Qin Ruan couldn’t wrap her head around how she’d gone from second in line for succession to the top spot.

Tang’s mother patted her husband’s arm and said to Qin Anguo whose expression was changing, "My husband didn’t mean anything by that. He’s just worried about Ya and Jingcen’s upcoming wedding. After all, we need to settle their future livelihood."

Injecting his opinion, Qin Mei said, "Qin Family is a big and rich family, would we possibly starve big brother and sister Ya?"

Tang’s mother looked at Qin Mei with an amused smile, as if looking at a naive child.

But if you looked closely, in the depths of her eyes, you could see a hint of disdain and mockery.
