Qin Ruan's voice was playful, tinged with a hint of teasing, as she asked Lin Hao, "So, how about the 'sister' we picked? Isn't she as good-looking as you thought?"
Lin Hao was in deep distress, his voice filled with difficulty as he replied, "I got drunk and don't remember."
He didn't dare to tell Qin Ruan that he hadn't touched a woman in a month since that incident.
Lin Hao sighed softly, "Why did you guys target me back then?"
Qin Ruan's tone was casual as she said, "At that time, you were all smug in front of Lord Jiang Liu, and he pressured me and made me suffer several times. I couldn't bear it anymore, so the four of us decided to teach you a lesson."
Lin Hao raised an eyebrow slightly, "It must have been Li Zilan's bad idea."
With great certainty and a hint of understanding in his tone.
Qin Ruan nodded, "It was Li Zilan who suggested it, but we all agreed."
Lin Hao chuckled and shook his head, "Your schemes behind my back were useless. Jiang Liu is always able to win people over with his virtue. Such matters mean nothing in front of him."
Recalling their impulsive actions back then, Qin Ruan said nonchalantly, "We just wanted to vent our frustrations."
Indeed, they did it to relieve their anger. Since they couldn't do anything to Jiang Liu, they decided to target someone close to him.
Lin Hao let go of his guard completely and spoke gently to Qin Ruan, "Indeed, you still have a childlike nature."
She retorted, "You make it sound like you're so much older than me."
"I'm getting old, almost thirty."
"You're only twenty-six, not much older than me."
Lin Hao felt that arguing about their ages was meaningless. He suddenly asked, "Is Granny Su's illness better?"
"Granny Su?" Qin Ruan muttered absentmindedly.
Lin Hao nodded and continued, "I haven't heard about her health these past three years, whether she has recovered or not. I remember back then, you all even raised money for her surgery."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Ruan understood something, and her expression became eerie.
She smirked, her red lips curling up with a deep meaning.
Qin Ruan shook her head at Lin Hao, "Brother Hao, you still don't believe me. Granny Su doesn't exist. Su Wang is an orphan without any relatives."
Lin Hao slapped his forehead, "Look at my memory. I meant Li Granny, who was good to you all and ran the wonton shop next to the orphanage. She used to be very fond of you four, but I don't know if she's well or not after her illness."
Qin Ruan just stared at him, thinking he was talking nonsense.
As soon as Lin Hao finished speaking, she immediately interjected, "Brother Hao, Li Granny passed away while you were still in West City. She suddenly fell ill and died, without even going to the hospital. That day, you, a grown man, sat in the wonton shop, eating wontons and shedding tears. The four of us saw it."
Lin Hao was left speechless, his expression truly remarkable.
Because everything Qin Ruan said was true.
Shen Ran, Li Zilan, Su Wang— they were all close friends of Qin Ruan.
These four had their own little group and could be considered a small force among the young people, a force that operated on the lower rungs of West City's food chain, having more than enough power to deal with those below but lacking against those above.
Su Wang didn't have a grandmother. He was born in West City, with a father who was a heavy smoker and a mother involved in the flesh trade.
Neither of them could raise Su Wang, so they dumped him at the orphanage.
When Su Wang was still young, his father died from a serious illness, spending his days with drugs, slowly consuming his life.
Su Wang's mother was beaten to death because she offended a client.
Indeed, Lin Hao was testing Qin Ruan just now.
Qin Ruan's change was something he couldn't accept with common sense.
It was as if she had become a completely different person. He even doubted whether the Qin Xiaowu of that year, who had touched his heart and seemed proud but was actually filled with self-doubt, had truly existed.
He couldn't compare the poised and serene woman before him with the young girl from back then.
Lin Hao's brows furrowed as he stared at Qin Ruan with a complex expression. "Are you really Qin Xiaowu?"
Qin Ruan lowered her head, and in her pure glass-like eyes, a faint cold light flickered.
She didn't expect Lin Hao to be the first one to notice the difference between her and her past self.
Their relationship wasn't particularly deep, and their formal interaction had only occurred in the underground boxing arena when he had let her win.
To repay the favor and settle this debt, she kept Lin Hao by her side.
She knew that Lin Hao was not simple, and she also knew that he wasn't as easy to approach as he appeared on the surface. There was a thick wall in his heart.
However, Qin Ruan didn't expect that in such a short time, Lin Hao would initiate a conversation with her, and it was all because of her.
Qin Ruan looked up at Lin Hao, her beautiful eyes shining with a bewitching light.
She said, "The rebirth of the former Qin Xiaowu, I am now called Qin Ruan, no longer the timid Qin Xiaowu from the West City."
Her unique voice was slightly deep, pleasant, and melodious.
Between her past life and present, she could distinguish clearly.
Qin Xiaowu was her past life, and now she was Qin Ruan.
Lin Hao exuded an aura of decadence and sighed, "You have changed so much."
He didn't know whether he felt discouraged because the girl he had once been infatuated with had disappeared, or because Qin Ruan had changed so much and become unattainable, creating a sense of estrangement.
It was like watching a little girl he had seen grow up turning to embrace another man.
Moreover, that man had turned her into someone completely unattainable, leaving him with a hollow feeling in his heart.
He couldn't describe his emotions in words, and there was a hint of bitterness deep inside.
Qin Ruan noticed Huo Chuan standing at the doorway of the Liu family's bedroom. Seeing his cold expression, she guessed that he had been standing there for a while.
"Huo Chuan, where is Master Song?"
Hou Chuan nodded slightly to Qin Ruan and respectfully replied, "They are in the bedroom. Does Madam want to see them?"
"Let them come out."
"Alright."
Hou Chuan opened the door, and as soon as Madam finished her conversation with Lin Hao, the mystical Taoist Song Banxian, who had been pushed into the room by him, slowly walked out.
As Song Banxian walked out of the room and passed by Hou Chuan, he gave him a secret glare.
Even when one gets old, they still have a gossipy heart. Song Banxian was about to listen to some gossip from Qin Ruan, but he was forcefully pushed into the room by this cold-faced young man, showing no respect for his elders.
Hou Chuan remained composed, paying no attention to Song Banxian's anger.
After everyone from the Liu family came out, he led the four of them toward Qin Ruan.
Meanwhile, Qin Ruan approached Lin Hao and patted his shoulder.
"Don't think too much. We'll go back to the West City and meet Shen Ran, Li Zilan, and Su Wang when we have the time. They would be thrilled to know that you're still alive."
Lin Hao nodded, looking somewhat listless.
Liu Boyang followed behind Huo Chuan and entered the living room. His frightened eyes kept scanning the room, but he didn't see the grim-faced ghost.
He tentatively asked Qin Ruan, "Master Qin, where's the ghost?"
Qin Ruan's hand left Lin Hao's shoulder, and she walked towards the Liu family members, teasingly saying, "It has been sent away. Why? Mr. Liu wants to personally see it off?"
Liu Boyang quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I was just asking."
