Although this voice was younger than in her previous life, it was still familiar to her like a nightmare, forever imprinted in her memories.
She appeared! Wen Ruwan! No matter how docile and charming this malicious and serpent-hearted woman pretended to be on the surface, it did not erase her poisonous scorpion insides.
In her previous life, this woman appeared next to Grandmother a year after the zombie outbreak, when Mother had hurt her body while birthing Qiao Mu’s brother and was near the end of her wick.
This life, Wen Ruwan showed up early.
In reality, she never figured out why Wen Ruwan just had to set her eyes on Father even though she could maneuver her way into any wealthy and affluent family she wanted with her skills at scheming and abilities in general.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the beginning, Father did not agree to marry Wen Ruwan no matter what. Later, it might have been partially due to Grandmother’s threatening, but Qiao Mu felt like there was something else behind the matter.
Wen Ruwan was hell-bent on marrying Qiao Zhongbang back then.
How could a person with his mystic meridians destroyed like Qiao Zhongbang enter Wen Ruwan’s eyes?
‘Love?’ Qiao Mu scoffed.
There must have been some kind of benefit involved that she missed.
Currently, Wen Ruwan had a warm smile on her lips, but when she met Qiao Mu’s fathomless maelstrom-filled eyes, which continuously tore into her spirit, she could not help but start.
This child’s eyes...? Why did they feel like they carried the coldness of an ice cave and a bone-chilling hatred?
Was she mistaken?
Wen Ruwan blinked and looked again, only to see the child’s wooden and completely expressionless face.
Phew... like she thought, it was her misconception.
“Qiaoqiao, is Aunt doing good?” Wen Ruwan’s voice was very soft and sweet and pleasing to the ears.
“Grandmother? Quite good.” Qiao Mu sent Wen Ruwan a meaningful look. “Aunt Wen also wants to visit Grandmother?”
Speaking of which, Wen Ruwan was Grandmother’s distant maternal cousin’s niece.
In her previous life, Grandmother’s affectionate indulgence for Wen Ruwan could not be measured. It would not be an overstatement to say she considered her half a daughter.
If it were not for Grandmother’s ardent support, Father would not have married Wen Ruwan so soon after Mother passed away.
Wen Ruwan felt like there was a hint of derision mixed in the child’s soft voice, but when she looked over, she could not catch anything from the child’s expressionless face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWen Ruwan revealed a smile she deemed to be the friendliest and prettiest and nodded at Qiao Mu. “As a junior, Ruwan should naturally visit Aunt.”
Qiao Mu glanced at her indifferently. “Grandmother is sick, so she’s unsuited to see guests for a while. Aunt Wen’s well intent will be relayed to Grandmother.”
“Since Aunt is sick, it’s even more vital for me to go as a junior...” Wen Ruwan urgently said, not expecting to have been rejected.
“Who do you think you are? I can take care of my mother myself. Qiao Mu, bring me to see my mother! I’m warning you, if there’s anything wrong with my mother, I won’t spare you,” Qiao Wenjuan said harshly.
“Mr. Zhang, if I remember correctly, people can’t enter the central district as they please, right?” Qiao Mu coldly asked.
“That’s correct.” Zhang Yan hurriedly nodded. “These people were brought here to be questioned due to Second Young Master Liu’s matter. Don’t worry, Miss Qiao. I’ll handle their allocation. Take care.”
Qiao Mu nodded and turned around to quickly leave with the ceaselessly screaming pheasant in her clutch.
Qiao Wenjuan’s eyes were nearly popping out of their sockets. She chased after Qiao Mu and called a few times before she was mercilessly blocked by the guards of the City Lord’s Estate.
“It’s the Qiao Family’s private residence up ahead,” Mr. Zhang aloofly stated. “Don’t casually enter without the owners’ permission.”
