C29 The Crazed Ruan Jiajun Is Out-of-control!

“Hanyu, I may have told Mom about my feelings. I’ve been worried about you. Yu… Ever since that woman showed up at the Ruan Group, I can’t shake the feeling that you don’t love me anymore. That you don’t care about me as much anymore. I was afraid that that woman would take you away from me and that if she isn’t stopped in time, her schemes will lead to the destruction of our company. Mom is old and wise, so I trusted that she would see something I would otherwise miss. In the end, I just ended up bringing it up by accident. Believe me Hanyu, it was not on purpose. You must forgive me. Everything I’m doing is for the good of the Ruan Group."

Qian Anrou cried and snuggled deeper into Ruan Hanyu’s embrace. Her eyes were big and bright filled with grief and innocence like that of an innocent little girl.

Ruan Hanyu wasn’t so ruthless that he couldn’t be moved by a woman’s tears. The anger in his heart dissipated and he could feel his hand involuntarily move to touch her back.

His hand fell on a piece of loose fabric. It had seemed like she had lost a bit of weight recently. She appeared skinnier and her bones were jutting out of her body. This was the first time Ruan Hanyu noticed this.

She was the kind of woman who would always attract him. Her passion was like a flame and she always knew how to act and when to appear coquettish or when to show a bit of weakness. She never forced herself onto men, rather it was men who flocked to her. Even if she made a tiny mistake, she would be forgiven because she was beautiful and graceful.

Mu Qingzhu’s indifferent and cold eyes suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. The vision made him sigh deeply in his heart. These two women could not be more different.

He felt that a woman needed a bit of warmth to keep a man interested. A woman who was too cold would naturally scare any man away.

Feeling a little dazed, his mind was a bit blurry. He wanted to marry Qian Anrou. Since they were going to be together for the rest of their lives, their relationship should have more trust and tolerance.

He began to feel more at ease, but suddenly Mu Qingzhu’s bright and charming smile directed at Jing Chengrui flashed before his eyes. Unable to contain it, a rush of anger rose in his heart. It felt that especially in that instant, Mu Qingzhu’s coldness was only specific to him. Her hostility and indifference only found their place with him, whereas her treatment of others was far warmer.

Because of this, he believed that they were destined to not be together in the end.

“Anrou, you don’t need to worry yourself over this matter. I hired her for a reason. Our company is in great need of her talents. With her onboard, we can now develop luxury cars that will surpass that of the Jingrui Company. You know very well that the real estate situation is starting to deteriorate, so luxury cars are the latest trend in development. Such an opportunity will be wasted if we do not take advantage of it right away.” Ruan Hanyu was saying this as much to comfort himself as he said it to relieve Qian Anrou of her worries.

The heat emitting from his palm on Qian Anrou’s body filled her with joy. The gesture was gentle and comfortable. Feeling very happy, Qian Anrou had a smile on her face. It seemed that especially at that moment all her grievances had disappeared to the side.

It appeared that she had made the right decision in inviting Ji Xuan over. This move proved to be game-changing.

Things had improved between them. Ruan Hanyu was now more open and willing to tell her the truth. He had even personally agreed to their marriage. Things couldn’t have been better.

“But Hanyu, you saw it for yourself. You heard it straight from the woman’s mouth that she doesn’t have that capability. The car design came to her by luck! She has no such ability. She even admitted it herself!” Though Qian Anrou was very happy in her heart, she was willing to dredge up a few details from the meeting. She wanted to finish that Mu Qingzhu once and for all.

“Even if her talent proves unreliable, I still want her at the Ruan Group for a period of time. As long as she doesn’t return to the Jingrui Company, I am willing to put up with her in the meantime. As long as it is beneficial to my company.” With a smile on his face, he said this while touching her face. “You don’t need to worry about this. I know exactly what to do.”

Qian Anrou blinked her eyes, fully satisfied by his answer. She gave him a sweet kiss on the mouth and afterwards, smiled at him seductively. Wrapping her arms around his neck and stretching out her slender and smooth neck, she whispered in his ear, “Yu, I know. You can trust me to not be jealous again.”

A whole day passed by without Mu Qingzhu seeing Ruan Hanyu and with no one else causing trouble. The drama of that morning soon began to fade in everyone’s minds as work kept them busy.

She did not try to guess how Ruan Hanyu would deal with her and she found that she did not care either.

The sun was setting in the west. A slight chill could be felt as the sun faded on the horizon. The arrival of autumn was fast approaching in the city limits of A City.

The monotonous sound of her high heels striking the ground echoed all across the parking lot. On her arm, Mu Qingzhu was carrying an exquisite small bag and her long Western dress was draped close around her body. The tight suit was pulled around her long and slender waist, making her look even more slim and graceful.

“Qingqing.” A shadow appeared to her side. The dimly illuminated basement bathed the man’s body in shadow. She could see his facial features but not the expression on his face. The outline of his tall nose made the man’s face appear vicious.

“Ruan Jiajun.” Mu Qingzhu was shocked and frightened. She immediately stopped walking. Looking around and seeing that they were alone, shot traces of fear through her heart.

“Jiajun, what do you want?” she asked outright after taking a few steps back. The atmosphere in the parking lot was not good. She wanted to get away as quickly as possible.

Ruan Jiajun focused his gaze on the calm and indifferent Mu Qingzhu. His eyes were filled with a hot and strange light.

“Qingqing, correct me if I’m wrong, but you have been married to the Ruan family for four years. Since then, you have already divorced, am I right?” Ruan Jiajun’s gaze locked onto her face, unwilling to miss any of her facial expressions.

“Yes.” Mu Qingzhu did not try to hide anything and admitted things outright. Inside, she subconsciously told herself to stay away from Ruan Jiajun and avoid any such encounters with him. She did not want to get too entangled with someone she had never loved.

“Seeing as how the Ruan family has never treated you well in the past years, especially that Ruan Hanyu, why did you come back? You could’ve come to me. You know that I’ve always liked you.”

Ruan Jiajun’s overbearing tone signaled to Mu Qingzhu that she must get away. Underneath his refined appearance was a wild and unruly aura that Mu Qingzhu knew she would not be able to handle. Dangerous and strange feelings emitting from this man warned Mu Qingzhu to escape before it was too late.

“I would never decide to do such a thing.” Mu Qingzhu clutched the bag in her hand tighter in her grip and said in a cold voice, “And don’t forget that you’re the head of the Finance Department now. Don’t ruin your future with one small mistake.”

“Leave everything behind: Ruan Hanyu, the Ruan Group, and come to my side. Believe me, I will give you happiness.” As he said this, he inched closer and closer to her.

Mu Qingzhu took a step back. Her tone was serious as she spoke.

“Ruan Jiajun, though I’m your former sister-in-law, it is still not good for you to continue talking like this.”

Ruan Jiajun spat on her. Out flew his refined appearance. His entire body shook from emotion as he clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were fiery from jealousy and anger.

“This is all because Grandma favored him more. She just had to hand you to him. But you should have been mine. I was the one who mentioned you to Grandma, but Grandma was too muddle-headed and gave you to him. That man is not worthy of your love. He is not worthy of you.”

As Ruan Jiajun’s words became more and more impassioned, he suddenly grabbed Mu Qingzhu’s hand. He said in a crazed tone, “Qingqing, I’m the one who loves you. I can’t stop thinking about you. Ever since you left the Ruan family, thoughts of you have plagued my mind. I also left China to go look for you in America, but my search proved fruitless. Now that you’re back, you and Ruan Hanyu are divorced. Sever your ties with Ruan Hanyu and we can be together forever. Don’t return to the Ruan Group again. My eyes have seen everything this morning. Ruan Hanyu will remarry soon. And the bride will not be you.”

His body was tense as he held tightly onto Mu Qingzhu’s hand, his eyes brimming red. Mu Qingzhu suddenly felt that the silence in the basement was suffocating. The feeling made it difficult for her to breathe.

They were so close together Ruan Jiajun’s French cologne assaulted her senses. A trace of coldness rushed to her heart that left her trembling. Ruan Jiajun’s strange and terrifying aura ambushed her and her face instantly paled as a reaction.

“Qingqing, trust me, I will treat you well.” Ruan Jiajun murmured in a barely audible voice as his hands reached out to caress Mu Qingzhu’s hair. Everything about her entirely intoxicated him.

“Let me go!” Mu Qingzhu felt disgusted by Ruan Jiajun’s infatuated expression.

During her stay in the Ruan Family Mansion that year, every time she saw Ruan Jiajun, he was dressed impeccably in an expensive suit and shoes. He was a gentleman in front of everyone else but during her university days, he kept bothering her and watched her with a burning intensity in his eyes. But she had always attributed this to puberty. All men acted like this during their college days. As long as he didn’t act too out of character, this was entirely normal.

Also, ever since her marriage with Ruan Hanyu, Ruan Jiajun had taken care to treat her in a cold manner, bordering on indifference.

But today, Ruan Jiajun’s behavior frightened Mu Qingzhu. The look in his eyes held no visages of love, but a naked desire to possess. He was already going down the wrong path. Or...

“Qingqing, come with me. I will bring you to a place where we can be alone," Ruan Jiajun said with excitement in his voice. As he dragged her away, his face turned red from the exertion.

“No, leave me alone. I don’t want to go.” Mu Qingzhu could not keep the fear from rising in her heart.

Suddenly, Mu Qingzhu’s mind flew to that experience from university a few years ago. She felt like the past events were happening all over again. Like the previous incident, Mu Qingzhu similarly could not contain her overwhelming fear and anxiety at this moment.

How could her weak self fight off the tall and strong Ruan Jiajun? Without using much muscle, his arms dragged her towards the car in front.

“Let me go!” Mu Qingzhu cried out as feelings of anxiety invaded her. Her high heels dragged behind her and the action caused her ankle to be a little sprained. Both her palm and ankle hurt so much, her face turned pale from the pain.

Even though she had little strength left in her body, she tried her best to struggle from Ruan Jiajun’s grip.

Ruan Jiajun had no time to waste. In order to move things along, he reached out his big powerful hands and picked her up from the waist, carrying her the rest of the way.

Though Mu Qingzhu could tell that it was over, it did not stop the anxiety from racing in her heart. Her hands and feet were flung up in the air and she was so flustered that her face heated up.

“Let me go!” Her low and angry voice cut through the tension in the air and echoed loudly in the dull basement.

The sight of Ruan Hanyu filled her with happiness.

Once he caught sight of Ruan Hanyu, Ruan Jiajun’s body trembled slightly from fear. Before he could see it coming, a heavy punch landed on his face. His body hit the ground with a thud, instantly clearing up his head.

Ruan Hanyu stood before him. His face that stared down at him was dark and aggressive. His cold gaze made Ruan Jiajun freeze up out of fear.

Out of the confusion, Mu Qingzhu fell to the ground. Her butt received the brunt of the fall and excruciating pain began to shoot out from her bottom.

“Jiajun, what is the meaning of this?” Ruan Hanyu’s body was moving towards him like an incoming train and his eyes were lit behind with aggression.

He knew of his brother’s intentions. The memories buried in his mind came crashing in. The light in his eyes became even more terrifying to behold. This could only mean he was the one at school that night.

Even though he had never loved Mu Qingzhu, she had married him, but her virtue had been stolen by this scumbag in front of him. This was not something he could willingly accept. Besides that, how could he do such a thing knowing that they both lived in the Ruan Family Mansion? This revenge was a long time coming.
