211 Ruan Xiaoshuang’s Resistance
Ruan Cheng rushed to the hospital.
Ruan Xiaoshuang was lying on the bed, her right wrist wrapped in thick bandages. Her eyes were empty and her face was as white as the sheets on her body.
The Ruan family’s servant found Ruan Xiaoshuang in the middle of the night. She had fainted in the bathroom, her hands and the floor were covered in blood.
If she had not been sent to the hospital in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Ruan Cheng’s expression darkened.
However, when Ruan Xiaoshuang saw him, she actually smiled faintly.
She said softly, “Brother, don’t be angry. Didn’t I tell you long ago that if anything happens to him, I won’t live alone either?”
Ruan Cheng was so angry that his vision turned black. “You believe Sang Qianqian’s words that much and think that Sang Minglang is in my hands?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang looked at him for a moment, her expression heartbroken.
“You still don’t want to admit it even now?”
With tears in her eyes, she said, “Brother, you really disappoint me.”
She had known for a long time that Shen Hanyu was the one manipulating the power of the internet to attack the Ruan family.
After Sang Minglang’s disappearance, this suppression was even more merciless. It was only two days ago that everything had calmed down completely.
Ruan Xiaoshuang couldn’t figure out the whole story and went to find Sang Qianqian.
Only then did she find out that Shen Hanyu had received the photo, and she saw the message that came with it.
She was trembling all over. Her hands and feet were cold, and she was disheartened.
All the beautiful filters she once had for Ruan Cheng, her big brother, were instantly shattered.
She felt suffocated when she recalled the rumors about her big brother.
Alas, those might not just be rumors.
Her big brother’s underhanded methods might have far exceeded Ruan Xiaoshuang’s knowledge and acceptance. But now, she finally understood Xie Shi’an’s feelings.
She finally understood why he had fallen out so badly with her big brother after the shooting at Sang Qianqian’s wedding. Moreover, he had even gone against the path that Ruan Cheng had arranged for him, running completely in the opposite direction.
Ruan Xiaoshuang could not persuade Ruan Cheng, nor could she save Sang Minglang.
This was the only way she could fight back.
“You can let people see me for a while, but they won’t see me for a lifetime.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang said in a light voice, “Big Brother, just pretend that you don’t have a sister like me.”
Ruan Cheng slammed the door angrily and left, never coming to see Ruan Xiaoshuang again.
No matter how Xie Shi’an tried to persuade her, no matter how Shao Jin tried to make her believe that Sang Minglang’s disappearance had nothing to do with Ruan Cheng, Ruan Xiaoshuang refused to listen.
She refused to eat or drink and wanted to die. When the doctor gave her an infusion, she turned around and pulled it out.
Ruan Cheng even got his men to tie her hands and feet. His expression was dark. “It won’t be that easy for her to die.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang was extremely thin.
All kinds of expensive nutrient solutions were injected into her body as if they were free, and she couldn’t die even if she wanted to.
Xie Shi’an came to the hospital to visit Ruan Xiaoshuang. His eyes turned red when he saw her like that.
When he returned to the Ruan residence, he and Ruan Cheng had another big fight.
“If you really let people take Sang Minglang away, so what if you let Sister Xiaoshuang see him!”
Xie Shi’an said angrily, “Sister Xiaoshuang is your biological sister. Are you going to kill your own family just to get your revenge?”
Shao Jin couldn’t stand Xie Shi’an’s att.i.tude. He was also angry. “Shi’an, how can you talk to Master Cheng like this! Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? Without Master Cheng, you wouldn’t be where you are now!”
Shao Jin and Xie Shi’an had been taken in by Ruan Cheng when they were young. it could be said that they had grown up under Ruan Cheng’s protection.
In the past, he and Xie Shi’an were both grateful and respectful to Ruan Cheng. Shao Jin could not tolerate Xie Shi’an speaking to Ruan Cheng in such a tone.
“If I didn’t have a conscience, I wouldn’t be fighting so hard for the Ruan family.
Xie Shi’an stared at Ruan Cheng, his eyes red. “If I had a choice back then, I would rather not enter the Ruan family and be the Xie Shi’an I am now!”
If Ruan Cheng had not taken him and his sister in back then, their lives might have been very hard.
However, it wasn’t like the past few years where his every move was under Ruan Cheng’s eyes. His life had to go according to Ruan Cheng’s will. He lived like a puppet, without any privacy or freedom.
He had made too many mistakes, and he could never recover from them.
When Xie Shi’an turned around and left in anger, Ruan Cheng didn’t even lift his eyelids, his expression indifferent.
Shao Jin was so angry that his face turned red.
He simply couldn’t believe that the once handsome and refined young man had become so full of thorns, and that his words and actions were so merciless.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Xie Shi’an was right about one thing.
After all, Sister Xiaoshuang was Master Cheng’s biological sister.
He shouldn’t hurt his family for an outsider.
Shao Jin hesitated, “Master Cheng, why don’t we let Sister Xiaoshuang go and see Sang Minglang?”
Ruan Cheng looked at him coldly. Shao Jin shut his mouth and did not dare to say anything more.
However, a few days later.
News came from the hospital again. While Ruan Xiaoshuang was in the bathroom, she suddenly broke free from the medical staff’s support and jumped out of the bathroom window.
More than half of her body fell outside. The medical staff desperately tried to hold her back, and her arm was injured.
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s forehead also hit the wall, bleeding non-stop.
Ruan Cheng was both shocked and furious, coughing violently.
When he finally recovered, his expression was a little gloomy.
Finally, he ordered Shao Jin with a hoa.r.s.e voice, filled with helplessness and exhaustion.
“Go and tell Xiaoshuang that if she wants to see Sang Minglang, then don’t seek death. Take good care of her body.”
—
When Shao Jin came to the hospital, Ruan Xiaoshuang’s gray eyes suddenly lit up.
She took the initiative to ask for food and cooperated with the doctor’s treatment. Her body finally recovered slightly and she could be discharged.
That night, she finally saw Sang Minglang.
Sang Minglang was unconscious and full of injuries.
Because Ruan Xiaoshuang was coming to see him, Shao Jin had even asked someone to specially clean him up. Otherwise, he would be covered in blood and would be unsightly.
First was when Sang Minglang had submitted the evidence to the police. Ruan Cheng’s imprisonment of seven days was secondary.
What Ruan Cheng hated the most was that Sang Minglang caused Ruan Xiaoshuang to have a miscarriage, so he ordered his men to be ruthless.
It was all thanks to Sang Minglang’s tough life that he was able to survive that torture.
Fortunately, Ruan Cheng had no choice but to use him for the sake of the Ruan family, so he had left him alive.
Otherwise, he would have died long ago. Ruan Xiaoshuang would never have been able to see a living Sang Minglang.
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. She threw herself to Sang Minglang’s side, held his hand, and cried out.
After crying for a long time, she went to look for Ruan Cheng.
Shao Jin did not know what method she had used to make Ruan Cheng change his mind.
Sang Minglang was no longer sent back to the place where he had been cruelly tortured. Instead, he was locked up in a secret underground room beneath the Ruan residence.
His hands and feet were shackled, but Ruan Xiaoshuang could still go in to see him. There was a doctor to treat Sang Minglang’s wounds.
—
When Sang Minglang finally woke up.
He felt as if all the bones in his body had been broken and rea.s.sembled, and the pain was heart-wrenching when he moved.
He endured the pain and struggled to turn over and sit up. There was a crisp sound. When he looked down, he found that his wrists and ankles were chained.
As Sang Minglang was frowning and staring at the iron chain, the door was pushed open with a creak.
Sang Minglang raised his head and saw Ruan Xiaoshuang walking in with a bowl of medicine.
