205 Who Is That Man?
Sang Qianqian did not expect Ruan Xiaoshuang to come to her.
She already knew that her brother had broken up with Ruan Xiaoshuang. It wasn’t that she didn’t feel regretful, but she was helpless.
The Ruan Xiaoshuang in front of her was much paler than before. The first thing she asked was, “Is your brother still in Beijing?”
“Sister Xiaoshuang, my brother has returned to Yuecheng,” Sang Qianqian said honestly.
After some thought, she explained, “My brother left because he had some matters to attend to at the company. He had to rush back to settle them.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s eyes were slightly red. She knew that Sang Qianqian was afraid that she would misunderstand that Sang Minglang was hiding from her. She said that because she felt bad.
However, Sang Qianqian’s understanding made Ruan Xiaoshuang even sadder. Thinking about the shooting, she really felt too embarra.s.sed to face Sang Qianqian.
“Qianqian, can you tell me your home address in Yuecheng?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang suppressed her emotions. “I have something to do. I have to go and find your brother.”
She pretended to be relaxed and smiled. “I’m afraid that if I call your brother, he won’t want to see me.”
Sang Qianqian did not know what to feel. She wanted to persuade Ruan Xiaoshuang, but she didn’t know what to say, so she could give her the address.
Before Ruan Xiaoshuang left, she hugged her gently and said in a choked voice, “Qianqian, I’m sorry about what happened at the wedding.”
Cui Xu was a member of the Ruan family. No matter what the truth of the shooting was, the Ruan family could not absolve themselves from blame.
Sang Qianqian didn’t say anything and watched her get into the car. She then instructed the chauffeur to head to the airport and stood there for a long time before returning to the hospital.
—
In the Sang family’s Villa in Yuecheng.
At around 10 pm, when Sang Minglang was driving home, he saw Ruan Xiaoshuang sitting by the flower bed at the entrance through the window.
He suspected that his eyes were playing tricks on him. He stepped on the brakes, lowered the window, and realized that it wasn’t an illusion.
It was really Ruan Xiaoshuang.
She got up and walked closer. “Minglang, can we find a place to sit? I have something to tell you.”
Sang Minglang looked at her fixedly for a moment, but in the end, he did not reject her, “Get in the car.”
—
Twenty minutes later.
In the coffee shop, he found out why Ruan Xiaoshuang had come.
Sang Minglang laughed coldly after his initial shock, “You came just to ask me to beg Shen Hanyu to let the Ruan family go? Wouldn’t it be more useful for you to look for my sister directly? Why did you come all the way to Yuecheng?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang felt guilty and upset. “I can’t ask Qianqian about this. Qianqian might not agree to it…”
She had already found out about everything that had happened from Xie Shi’an. She also knew that Sang Qianqian’s purpose in coming to the capital was to find the real culprit of the shooting.
Back then, Xie Shi’an had begged Sang Qianqian so much not to hand the video over to the police, but she had refused.
Now, even if Ruan Xiaoshuang begged her to let the Ruan family go, she and Shen Hanyu would probably not agree.
Sang Minglang’s eyes were cold. “What makes you think that I’ll definitely help you?”
“Minglang, at the very least, we’ve been together.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s eyes were red. “I know that the Ruan family has let Qianqian down. I can understand that Shen Hanyu wants to take revenge on the Ruan family. The Ruan family is willing to do everything they can to make up for their mistakes. But can you help me talk to Shen Hanyu and ask him to give the Ruan family a chance to survive…”
“We can’t!”
Sang Minglang’s expression changed and he said sternly, “Ruan Xiaoshuang, go back and ask Ruan Cheng. When the murderer shot Shen Hanyu, did your brother give him a chance to live? When he ordered his men to run my sister over, did he leave her a way out? In order to get my sister to hand over the video, Ruan Cheng even destroyed her career. Without Shen Hanyu, who would have given my sister a chance to live?”
He seemed to be extremely angry and stood up abruptly. “The Ruan family is where it is today because of your brother. He deserves it! Ruan Xiaoshuang, the one you should be begging is not me, but your brother! Tell him to stop trying to do anything bad. Maybe then would the Ruan family be saved!”
Ruan Xiaoshuang looked at Sang Minglang’s back as he left in a fit of anger, her tears flowing down.
Xie Shi’an was right. She really shouldn’t have come. Even if she came, she still couldn’t save the ruan family.
Her brother had done too much evil. Perhaps the Ruan family really deserved what they had today.
Ruan Xiaoshuang took a taxi to the airport and took the last flight back to Beijing.
Perhaps it was because of the constant running from last night to today that she was both mentally and physically exhausted.
The plane landed at three in the morning. When Ruan Xiaoshuang got off the plane, she felt extremely cold. Her feet were light, and the scenery in front of her seemed to be swaying.
Before she could walk down the airport stairs, Ruan Xiaoshuang felt her vision darken and she stepped on thin air.
She fell down the ramp and fainted.
—
She was in the hospital when she woke up.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw her brother, Ruan Cheng’s extremely pale face and dark and cold eyes.
Ruan Xiaoshuang was shocked and subconsciously wanted to get up.
Xie Shi’an held her down. “Sister Xiaoshuang, you’re still on the drip. Let me help you.”
He helped her sit up. Ruan Cheng said in a low voice, “Shi’an, you can leave first.”
Xie Shi’an hesitated for a moment. “If you have anything to say, you can ask Sister Xiaoshuang properly. She needs to recuperate. Don’t agitate her.”
He looked at Ruan Xiaoshuang with an indescribable feeling, then turned around and left, closing the door.
Ruan Xiaoshuang suddenly had a bad feeling and subconsciously touched her slightly painful abdomen.
The empty coldness reached her heart. Ruan Xiaoshuang felt like she had fallen into an ice cave, and her body kept trembling.
Ruan Cheng looked at her, his voice filled with an indescribable coldness. “Who’s that man?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s face was pale, and her teeth left teeth marks on her lips.
“I’m asking you who he is!”
Even when he was taken away by the police and lost his right-hand man, Cui Xu, Ruan Cheng had never lost his composure. At that moment, he threw the hand warmer in his hand onto the ground with a fierce expression.
Ruan Xiaoshuang had always been obedient and sensible since she was young, and she had never made Ruan Cheng worry.
It was only her feelings that weren’t satisfactory.
Back then, because she was sick, Ruan Xiaoshuang had to return to the country to get engaged. As a result, she had missed out on the person she liked and had been depressed since.
When she said she wanted to go to Ming City to look for someone, Ruan Cheng let her go. Ruan Cheng had never asked who the other party was, but he believed that his sister knew what she was doing.
If the other party were to really develop a relationship with her, she would surely inform him at the first possible moment.
But not long after, she came back in a low mood. Ruan Cheng knew that their relationship didn’t end well.
However, Ruan Cheng had never expected that his sister was actually two months pregnant!
Ruan Xiaoshuang had never mentioned her pregnancy. Moreover, the child’s father had never appeared.
And at this moment, the child was already gone.
How could Ruan Cheng not be angry?
In the face of his questioning and anger, Ruan Xiaoshuang’s tears kept flowing, but she didn’t say anything.
“If you take the initiative to say it, that person might still get a chance to live.”
Ruan Cheng’s expression was very cold as he slowly said, “If I find out myself, he will only be a dead person.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s hands clutched the blanket tightly, and her lips trembled.
She knew that if her brother wanted to investigate, he would definitely be able to find out.
Her heart was painfully tangled and struggling.
After a long while, she heard her own voice trembling as she said Sang Minglang’s name.
