3 Chapter 3 She Crawled Out of Hell

In her previous life, Qin Ruan was truly naive.

She missed her period for four months, but she saw it as normal, attributing it to malnourishment and hormonal imbalance from her childhood.

After all, she didn't take it seriously even when she hadn't had it for half a year.

She noticed her belly protruding but attributed it to lack of exercise, totally unaware that she was pregnant.

Her negligence led her stepmother and stepsister to discover her secret through a bowl of fish soup at home.

The mother-daughter duo, after confirming her pregnancy, schemed and painstakingly sent her to prison.

Under their deliberate arrangements, Qin Ruan, no matter how skillful, suffered terribly in jail.

During a riot, she was hit in the stomach and was in such agony that she nearly died.

She bled profusely, the blood soaking the floor, causing her eyes to sting with pain.

She went into preterm and difficult labor, and the child was delivered prematurely.

The nearly five-month old fetus was formed but had not yet opened his eyes upon arrival to this world. He whimpered weakly like a newborn kitten and then permanently left the mortal world.

Qin Ruan sat on the bed, tightly grasping the brocade quilt beneath her, her eyes bloodshot, filled with cold and murderous intent.

That was her child, her own flesh and blood.

Even without knowing who the father was, she couldn't accept that her child left her in such a manner.

She blamed herself, tormented by pain and regret, living in a daze every day.

Not until she found out that her child's death was due to her stepmother and stepsister's plot did she go mad, fighting back without concern for her own life.

However, she was just one move short in this game of chess.

By then, she was already infamous, discredited, and no one believed her. She was sent to Peace Hospital by the mother-daughter pair, labeled as a lunatic.

In the end, she died at the hands of Han Xian and Han Kexin.

A single dose of medicine was all it took to send her to hell.

At the brink of death, the mother-daughter duo looked down at her, ridiculing her for her overestimation of herself.

They revealed many dirty secrets to her in a joking manner, including the identity of her child's father.

Huo Family, a well-respected family for centuries, had a deep foundation and formidable strength.

This family had been holding power for years, and even today, ruled over four major families and six major aristocratic families in Capital City.

To Qin Ruan, and even the entire Qin Family, they were an unattainable existence.

Indeed, the identity of the child's father was of great importance.

Young Master Huo, the top-notch noble in the circle of the power elites in Capital City.

Before her death, Qin Ruan bitterly mused, perhaps that man would never know he almost became a father.

After her death, as a lingering spirit, she saw everything that man did for her.

In the end, Huo Family, being the all-powerful nobles, there were no secrets that could be concealed from them.

After Qin Ruan and Young Master Huo spent a night together, he fell weak due to loss of virginity and was sent overseas for medical treatment by his family, set to return after a year.

His first act upon returning was to eradicate Qin Family.

Thinking about her father who died before her, and her missing younger brother, Qin Ruan tightly shut her eyes, filled with madness and hatred.

Some scores had to be settled one by one; she couldn't rush it.

For a moment, Qin Ruan, with her eyes reopened, regained some sanity.

Soon, her stepsister would barge in with her group of friends to jeer at her and further defame her.

Starting from that day, she would be the disgrace of Qin Family, becoming the laughingstock of the upper class society.

Qin Ruan, dragging her aching body, picked up the crumpled clothes nearby and slowly dressed herself with a steady pace.

In her previous life, Qin Ruan never understood why Han Xian and Han Kexin hated her so much.

Since returning to Qin Family, she never interfered with their luxurious lives.

Not until her death did she learn about Han Xian's collusion with her uncle and realized they were too greedy, wanting to usurp the vast wealth of Qin Family.
