13 She Was Her Little Precious

Wen Ruan felt a little lost after Huo Hannian rode away on his bike.

She would have felt much better had he beaten her up. At least, their scores would have been even.

His refusal to hit her meant that he didn't wish to reconcile with her!

Wen Ruan was still sighing when the driver got back to the car. Uncle Zhong asked her in a cautious voice. "Missy, do you like that young man?"

"No, I don't. But I owe him a favour."

Uncle Zhong remembered that guy's gaze and said in a concerned tone, "It would be better for Missy to stay away from bad young men like him."

"Have you forgotten, Uncle Zhong? Your Missy is also a bad girl!"

...

The Wen Residence was situated at the prime most location on the mountain at the south side of the city. The path leading up to the manor had flaming maple leaves on both sides of the road. A spectacularly beautiful house was hidden among the trees in the mountain. It was especially imposing with the evening sun as its backdrop.

There was a well-manicured lawn with flowers and a dancing fountain in front of the manor. The black and gold wrought-iron gates opened automatically and Uncle Zhong drove the car in.

The Wen Family had two main businesses, one pertained to medical instruments and the other one involved running two private traditional chinese medicine hospitals.

Wen Ruan's elder uncle was handling the medical instruments company in Beijing while Wen Ruan's father was running the hospitals in Yun City.

Wen Ruan alighted from the car with a racing heart.

She was afraid that all this was just a dream!

After entering the foyer and changing her shoes, Wen Ruan saw Old Mrs. Wen coming out from her bedroom. She ran toward her with moisture laden eyes.

Wen Ruan's mother had jumped into the sea and disappeared without a trace after she was born. Since then Liu Shuying, who was Wen Ruan's mother's best friend, took care of her.

Wen Ruan was misled and spoiled rotten by Liu Shuying, so she didn't grow close to her own grandmmother. She only saw through Liu Shuying and her daughter, Ye Wanwan, after her grandma died from a stroke.

However, it was already too late by then. Her father had gotten into a car accident at that time and the traditional chinese medicine hospitals were snatched away by Ye Wanwan and Huo Jingxiu. She was sent to a mysterious man's bed. Because she refused to submit, she was disfigured and crippled by the two of them. They imprisoned and tortured her for the longest time before killing her.

Since Wen Ruan was reborn again, she would not let that tragedy happen again!

Old Mrs. Wen opened her arms to hug the girl who ran into her bosom.

"My precious, did the sun rise from the west today? You actually came to your grandma on your own?"

Wen Ruan hugged Old Mrs. Wen, who was still very healthy at this time. Hot tears flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably.

"Grandma, grandma, grandma…" She kept calling her.

Old Mrs. Wen patted Wen Ruan's quivering shoulders in a loving and indulgent voice. "Why are you crying?"

"I simply missed you, grandma."

"Silly girl. You used to ignore me when I tried to get close to you!"

Wen Ruan lifted her head from Old Mrs. Wen's bosom with two rows of glistening tears on her fair face. Old Mrs. Wen felt her heart ache badly after seeing that. "Don't cry, my precious. Grandma is here."

"Is Ruanruan back?" Liu Shuying came out of the kitchen with an apron around her waist. A hint of hostility flashed across her eyes when she saw Wen Ruan in Old Mrs. Wen's arms.

But she quickly said with a warm smile, "Where's Wanwan? Why don't I see her?"

Wen Ruan replied sweetly on the surface. "Sister Wanwan was still busy with her stuff when I came back. She should be taking her own transport back."

Liu Shuying was very well-maintained and appeared to be beautiful and virtuous. She used to be the head nurse in Wen Family's hospitals. She was the one who had instigated and influenced Wen Ruan. Upon her suggestion, Wen Jinzhang had allowed her and Ye Wanwan to move to the Wen Residence a while ago. Wen Jinzhang was helpless when Wen Ruan had thrown a tantrum and insisted on having them move in.

Wen Ruan didn't know if her father loved Liu Shuying. But they should have had some kind of feelings as Liu Shuying had been taking care of him during all these years. Otherwise, he would have rejected Wen Ruan's request when she suggested having the mother-and-daughter move in.

However, she was going to chase them out of the Wen Family today!
