Chapter 825: A Vile Character Flourishes (4)
Qin looked at Ruan Qishan and Ling Tianya in shock. It seemed as if they were going to fight her with their lives if she tried to forcibly move Madame Ruan.
Qin was intimidated by their determination and her expression stiffened.
When she had first found out that they were still alive, she had asked Ruan Guosheng to kill all of them. But Ruan Guosheng had made it clear that it wasn’t the right time yet. They had yet to find Ruan Zeyan’s body and if they couldn’t be sure he was dead, they had to keep the rest of the family alive as hostages.
Qin was vindictive. She wished for the household to die a thousand times, but she understood why Ruan Guosheng kept them alive.
Qin glared at Madame Ruan angrily and said, “Good sister, you not only have a good son, but you’ve also got yourself a bold and daring daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law!”
Madame Ruan looked at Qin coldly. “Hmph, of course! You can only be envious of that!”
Qin understood that if she was in Madame Ruan’s situation, Ruan Guosheng’s wife and Ming Li would never do the same for her. They would never step forward and trade their lives for hers.
Qin hated Madame Ruan even more because of that. Why did all the good things in the world happen to her?
“Cherish every minute you have alive! You better pray that Guosheng takes a long time to find Ruan Zeyan’s body. That’s the only way you will only get to live a little while longer!”
Qin’s words were like a sharp knife that stabbed deeply in Madame Ruan, Ruan Qishan, Wang Yazhi and Ling Tianya’s hearts.
When she saw their expressions, Qin started smiling happily. “Sister, so what if your son and your daughter-in-law are filial to you? So what if you have all the nice things? You must be alive to enjoy all of that. It’s not a big deal for you since you’re already so old, but it’s too bad for your great-grandson who has only just been born, haha!”
Qin started cackling loudly as she strolled out of the room.
After Qin left, Madame Ruan’s legs gave way as she collapsed weakly. It was as if someone had sucked all the energy out of her. The old lady had always been so strong, but she could no longer take it, and tears were streaming down her face.
“Grandson! My grandson! Where are you?”
Madame Ruan was sobbing now, Wang Yazhi was sobbing as well. Ruan Qishan gritted his teeth as tears welled up in his eyes and a teardrop trickled down his cheek.
Only Ling Tianya was holding it in. She was willing herself not to cry and not to shed any tears.
She hugged Tiny Rice Ball tightly, looking at the face that resembled Ruan Zeyan so much. The baby wasn’t crying either. He was holding onto Ling Tianya’s little finger tightly and his lips were moving. It was almost as if he was talking to her.
“Daddy promised me, he promised that he would return home safely. We have to trust daddy, right?”
Madame Ruan looked up weakly at Ling Tianya who was trying to stay strong, and she wiped away the tears on her face.
“I’m being made a fool by that wretched woman, Qin. The Ling girl is right! My grandson will definitely return home safely to us!”
Madame Ruan stopped her tears and turned to Wang Yazhi who was sobbing uncontrollably. “Stop crying!’
“Tianya, what should we do now?” Ruan Qishan asked Ling Tianya. Ling Tianya had become the backbone of the family at this point in time.
“Wait,” Ling Tianya looked ahead, her expression serious.
“For what? For Zeyan to come home?”
“Yes.” Ling Tianya nodded her head. She refused to believe that Ruan Zeyan was dead.
“If, I’m just saying, what if he never does?” Ruan Qishan’s voice was breaking. He was desperately hoping for his son to be alive, but what if misfortune had already befallen him...
“If he doesn’t come home...” Ling Tianya was choking up now but her eyes were still dry and clear as day. “We will have to save Tiny Rice Ball no matter what. No matter what happens, he must survive.”
