Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ruan Qi was a classic example of excessive sleepiness in pregnant women.

She was happily smiling five minutes ago but she was fast asleep now in Song Zhou’s arms.

He carried her to bed and was on his way out of the bedroom when her phone ring-

Worried that it would wake her up, he took her phone out to the living room.

Just as he walked into the living room, he heard Ruan Xue shouting over the phone. He was glad that his wife was asleep, or she would get upset again.

Why was it so difficult for his wife to have a peaceful pregnancy?

After Ruan Xue finished her sentence, he scoffed, “Sever your mother and daughter relationship? Excellent!”

Ruan Qi could do without relatives who weren’t close to her and who would only hurt her.

Even if it was her mother!

In this world, no child could choose their mother, but they could choose the kind of life they wanted to live!

Ruan Xue got even more agitated when she heard Song Zhou’s voice. “Pass the phone back to my daughter. I want to talk to her.”

“She’s resting now so she won’t be speaking to you. If you have anything to say, just tell me. The legal procedure to sever family ties isn’t that complicated. We just need to file a petition.”

“Song Zhou, why are you trying to sow discord between us mother and daughter? What are your intentions, you piece of trash?”

Song Zhou said with a chuckle, “Aren’t you the one who suggest to sever ties with your daughter? Do you even need me to sow discord when you treat my wife with so badly?”

Ruan Xue’s throat hurt from the scolding but she roared, “How I treat my daughter is my business. Who is an outsider like you to interfere?”

“I’m telling you now. My daughter is going to apologize to the Ma family and so will you. If you don’t, I’ll not let you two off!”

Song Zhou replied nonchalantly, “Ruan Qi and I are married. She and I are family now and you are the outsider.”

“As for the apology, Ms. Ruan Xue, you can stop dreaming. You don’t want to let us off? Come at us then!”

Ruan Hao, who was sitting next to Ruan Xue, heard Song Zhou’s words and snatched Ruan Xue’s phone away and warned coldly, “Brat, let me tell you now. I, Ruan Hao, am considered a reputable person in capital city. I have seen shameless paupers like you. You are not capable, yet you want to act tough. Your tricks won’t work with me!”

“If you know what’s good for you, apologize to the Ma family and beg for their forgiveness. If you ruin my plans, I won’t just threaten you. I’ll make you suffer the consequences tomorrow!”

Song Zhou clicked his tongue. Ruan Hao’s threat was quite scary…

“Oh? Please have a go at it.”

“Again, you can keep dreaming about the apology!”

Not wanting to waste his breath with them, Song Zhou forwarded Ruan Xue’s calls to his phone and turned off her phone.

At the Ruan residence, Ruan Hao’s face turned black with anger as he listened to the call disconnect tone on the line.

Ruan Xue panicked and quickly dialed Ruan Qi’s number again.

This piece of trash was too arrogant. He tricked her daughter into marrying him, but he was so rude to his in-laws.

What a shameless b*stard!

However, Ruan Qi’s phone was turned off. Ruan Xue was so angry that her stomach hurt.

He had turned off her phone.

He was indeed a sh*tty piece of trash!

Ruan Xue was instantly afraid when she felt Ruan Hao’s murderous gaze. She explained in a trembling voice, “He, he’s turned off her phone.”

“So, her phone is turned off. Don’t you know how to find her? Are you going to stand idly by and watch my company go bankrupt?”

Ruan Xue replied awkwardly, “I, I don’t know where she lives.”

Ruan Hao was so angry that he wanted to kick her. They couldn’t even contact Ruan Qi now. How were they going to force her to apologize?

Ruan Yi couldn’t help but scold, “Mom, how can you be so negligent? You don’t even know where your own daughter lives? Don’t you have any other way to find her?”

Ruan Xue was annoyed and embarrassed by the scolding. She thought for a bit and said, “I can only call the school and find out where Ruan Qi is.”

Ruan Hao was impatient. “Hurry up and make the call now. I was really blind back then to marry a useless piece of trash like you.”

Ruan Xue retorted in tears, “You were the one who pursued me back then. I didn’t want to be with you, but you convinced me that rd live a better life if I got together with you.”

Ruan Hao chuckled. “True that. I can only say that I had poor taste back then and fell for you because of your looks. But you are old and ugly now!”

“You!”

“Alright, stop arguing. Is there any point in arguing?”

“You’ve been married for so long. If you really dislike each other, you can get a divorce after resolving this matter. You must first make sure that I get my inheritance!”

Ruan Hao and Ruan Xue glared at their son speechlessly. Damn, they had raised a b*stard.

Although his words were unpleasant, quarreling was not going to solve the problem. Ruan Xue called Ruan Qi’s school, but no one picked up.

Ruan Yi looked at the time and glared at Ruan Xue.

“No teacher is in school at this hour. No one will pick up calls at the office.”

“Do you have her teachers’ personal phone numbers or her classmates’?”

“… No, I don’t.”

Ruan Yi was stumped and glared at his mother. “Dad is right. You’re useless indeed. You can’t even find your own daughter.”

Being mocked by her own son, Ruan Xue was furious, but she couldn’t bring herself to scold him.

Ruan Yi asked Ruan Hao what they should do now. They couldn’t let their family go bankrupt.

He had a classmate in school who went bankrupt. This boy used to wear branded clothes, but he only wore cheap clothes now and was looked down upon and bullied in school.

He didn’t want to become the butt of everyone’s jokes!

Ruan Hao could only say, “We’ll go to her school and find her. If we can’t, we’ll call the police and let the police help us find her. You’re Ruan Qi’s mother. She’s an unfilial daughter who doesn’t tell you her whereabouts. You must teach her a lesson when you find her!”

The family of three drove to A-University.

They went to the university hospital and asked around.

A teacher asked her, “Which class is she from? There are many classes in the medical school and of different specialties.”

Ruan Xue said, “I just know that she’s a second-year student in the TCM faculty. As for which class she’s in, I’m not sure.”

The teacher frowned and looked through the student records. He found a student named Ruan Qi among the second-year students of the TCM faculty.

The teacher called the number on record, but Ruan Qi’s phone was switched off. Ruan Qi’s address on record was the Ruan residence.

Thus, they hit another wall trying to find Ruan Qi.

Ruan Hao was already furious after the long wait and a fruitless trip to Ruan Qi’s school. He scolded Ruan Xue and asked her to call the police.

“You raised this b*stard. She got married and didn’t even tell you where she lives.”

Meanwhile, Song Zhou was dealing with work with Jiang Jingchen in the study at the latter’s villa when he received a text message on his phone.

“Ruan Qi’s parents went to school to find her. They are planning to call the police if they can’t find her.”

They were going to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Jiang Jingchen saw his pale face and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Song Zhou’s head hurt. “It’s Ruan Qi’s mother. She can’t find Ruan Qi and is about to call the police.”

Jiang Jingchen chuckled. “People call the police when their children go missing. I didn’t expect someone to do that for an adult child.”

Song Zhou’s eyes were cold as he said, “Ruan Xue won’t let up. She wants us to apologize to the Ma family!”

Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with mockery.

“Didn’t you take Ma Baomu? Then call the Ma family and let them deal with the Ruan family.”

“How?”

Song Zhou was a little confused. He had indeed taken Ma Baomu and he did that to mess with the finances of the Ma family so they would cut off their supply of raw materials to the subsidiary of Jiang Corporation.

Jiang Jingchen clicked his tongue and brought over a piece of paper and a pen.

He drew two semicircles that were not touching and drew a big X between the half circles.

“Let Ma Baomu tell them that he’s been kidnapped by Ruan Hao!”
