The Silver Hamster’s Daily Life

Ruan Xudong attended a meeting in the afternoon.

At the meeting, the manager of the Publicity Department said, “President Ruan. A new brand’s lotion named Silver Hamster has been launched recently in the market against our Lurid Cream.”

Ruan Xudong frowned as his expression turned serious: “Silver Hamster Brand’s lotion? Which company does it belong to?”

The Publicity Manager replied, “It’s a micro-business product.”

When Ruan Xudong heard this, he waved his hand carelessly and impatiently replied, “Such a trivial matter, handle it just as usual. Next time, don’t need to report such things to me.”

As the president of the company, he is very busy with work. There’s countless documents to sign and meetings to be held in the span of a day.

Just a small product but was it necessary to report to him? It seems this Publicity Department manager’s ability to work is going down!

The Publicity Department Manager was also very hesitant before reporting this matter. He felt that the Silver Hamster Brand’s lotion was just a small company and didn’t have the ability to stir any trouble for such a big company like Ruan Group. According to the usual report, he didn’t need to pay much attention. However, among the three reports he received about the new brand lotion, one report was different.

Recently their company had recruited a freshly graduated student who reported that the lotion isn’t as simple as it looks. It has a good reputation. He even went to several schools to gather information and wrote the report with great enthusiasm while waking up the whole night before handing it to him.

When the Manager’s eyes landed at the words of the report, he couldn’t help but be serious and spoke in the meeting.

But who knew President Ruan wouldn’t even think about it.

He really shouldn’t have reported such a small matter! The Manager of the Publicity Department felt so ashamed and angry that he scolded the freshly graduated employee after the meeting.

When the graduate was walking out of the company’s entrance in tears, Ruan Xudong also left for his home and brushed past the graduate.

The meeting ended a little late, and when Ruan Xudong arrived home, Yang Ruorou had already finished preparing dinner.

Because Ruan Xudong didn’t come back, they didn’t start dinner. Yang Ruorou was arranging the flower arrangement on the dining table, and Yang Qingwei was reciting English words sitting on the living room’s carpet.

Tomorrow morning the first test is English. Yang Qingwei wanted to memorise as many words and sentences as possible before the exam.

When Ruan Xudong came back, he saw this scene.

The gentle and considerate wife, and the serious and hardworking daughter. And they were waiting for him to come home from work for dinner.

This kind of warmth made Ruan Xudong feel he was blessed.

In the past, when Li Da was alive, she was even busier than him. All the things in the company were managed by Li Da. Therefore, she couldn’t return home until late at night.

On the contrary, he looked like the wife waiting for her husband to return!

And Ruan Yingyin, she was devoid of filial piety. If she was hungry, she would eat on her own. She had never waited for him to return home and have dinner together!

The before and after contrast made Ruan Xudong’s heart more moved.

He put a sincere smile on his face: “I’m back.”

Hearing his voice, Yang Ruorou quickly approached him, took Ruan Xudong’s briefcase from his hand, and said tenderly, “Xudong, you’re back. You’re tired, aren’t you? Let’s sit down and eat. I cooked your favorite sweet and sour pork.”

Yang Qingwei also stood up and said with a smile, “Dad, you’re finally back. I’m so hungry that my chest hurts.”

Ruan Xudong held Yang Ruorou’s hand in one hand and patted Yang Qingwei with the other, and the three of them sat down together at the dining table.

“Qingwei, your monthly exam starts tomorrow, right?” Ruan Xudong asked.

Yang Qingwei nodded: “Yes Dad, don’t worry. I’m confident I can get to the top five in my grade.”

Yang Ruorou gently reprimanded, “Qingwei, don’t be overconfident.”

Ruan Xudong smiled and spoke on Yang Qingwei’s behalf: “Ruorou, Qingwei is not being overconfident. Her grades have been excellent since she was a child and she always became the top student in her grade, right?”

Yang Ruorou replied with a worried look, “But she is in Qingzhong now. Not like her old school. All the kids in Qinzhong are smart.”

Yang Qingwei replied more confidently than before, “That’s why I can only guarantee that I will be in the top five of my grade. I know my level. I’ll be in the top five, you have to believe me!”

“Dad believes in you.” Ruan Xudong said.

Looking at such a confident daughter, Ruan Xudong felt very relieved and proud. He couldn’t help but compare the two daughters in his mind.

The more he compared them, the more he felt that Yang Qingwei was really excellent.

It was known by everyone that since childhood, Ruan Yingyin’s grades were at the bottom.

At that time, the Ruan Group hadn’t developed to the point it is today. Li Da was busy dealing with people, and on the contrary, Ruan Xudong was more idle.

So whenever a parent-teacher conference would be held in Ruan Yingyin’s school, it would be up to him to attend.

But her grades were just too humiliating!

“Dad.” Yang Qingwei suddenly called out and spoke with hesitation: “I have something to ask you.”

Ruan Xudong returned to his senses and said lovingly, “Go ahead.”

Yang Qingwei lowered her eyes: “Yinyin is studying hard this time, if she does well in the monthly exams, will you call her back? No matter what, she’s my sister.”

The dining table turned quiet for a moment.

Yang Ruorou also advised, “Yes, Xudong. Although what happened back then was Li Da’s fault. But Yinyin is innocent ……”

“How is she innocent!” Ruan Xudong became angry thinking of Ruan Yingyin. Her words ‘If there was no Li Da, there would be no Ruan’ had been nagging at him all this time, “She’s not even an adult yet, how dare she leave home! If she wants to leave alone, why should I bring her back? No way!”

The corners of Yang Qingwei’s lips tilted up with a light smile. But she immediately put the smile away again.

Yang Ruorou gently pulled Ruan Xudong’s sleeves: “Yinyin is still a child, children sometimes make mistakes. It’s not safe for her to live outside alone.”

“You are just too kind.” Ruan Xudong said, “Even though people have bullied you, you still think about them. If it wasn’t for Ruan Yingyin’s mother, how could you and Qingwei have suffered so much? And with Ruan Yingyin’s brain, like her dead mother, she will always be at the bottom. What good will she bring for me? I don’t want her to call back. When the money on her runs out, she will naturally roll back!”

When the time comes, he, her father, naturally have to teach this kind of disobedient daughter a lesson. She should know that the Ruan family is not something that she, Ruan Yingyin, can come and go whenever she wants to.

Ruan Xudong’s reaction was expected by Yang Qingwei. She was in a good mood and even jumped around the room after showering.

A month ago, this was still Ruan Yingyin’s room. And now, everything in the house, including the Ruan Group is hers, Yang Qingwei’s.

She would never go back to the old broken house with rats, water leaks, and even no toilet in this life.

She doesn’t want to live that life again, she should have belonged here since she was a child.

It was Li Da and Ruan Yingyin who took away everything she should have. Now she’s just getting back what she deserves.

Yang Qingwei sat down at her desk and began to prepare for the exam she was going to take tomorrow.

**

In the Wanhua District, Ruan Yingyin was also studying.

The examination was divided into two days, three exams per day. Tomorrow there will be English, Biology and Physics exams.

The bedroom only has a large bed and closet, and a small dresser. So Ruan Yingyin was studying at the dining room table in the living room.

The teacher delineated the key points before the exam, but she had only been in school for a month and hadn’t learned much. What she learned was just all the key points.

On the dining table, three piles of books were placed in order, and three piles of small snacks were placed in front of the three piles of books.

Each pile of snacks contained a lollipop, a small packet of melon seeds, and a small packet of spicy strips.

Only after reading each pile of books could Ruan Yingyin eat the snacks.

Therefore, Ruan Yingyin was very motivated and immersed herself in the ocean of knowledge.

Just when she finished the second pile of books and the second pile of snacks, and intended to read the last one, the doorbell rang.

The only person who would ring the doorbell of her room, besides the delivery guy, was Jiang Xingyuan.

She didn’t order take-out, so it could only be Jiang Xingyuan.

Jiang Xingyuan was busy with his own business nowadays. He didn’t even attend most of the classes and would take early leave to go to northern provinces and cities.

So Ruan Yingyin hadn’t actually seen him for a few days.

Suddenly she remembered that Jiang Xingyuan had previously robbed her snacks. She quickly got up and hid the last pile of snacks before opening the door.

Jiang Xingyuan has just returned from the airport. The real estate business he built under Xu Hao’s name has already started operating. This time he went to a city in the northern provinces to meet a new partner as the company’s account manager.

He had worked with this partner in his previous life. He knew what the other party preferred like the back of his hand. So, it wasn’t difficult to reach an agreement.

Businessmen are profit-oriented, although in his last life this partner of his withdrew his business deal with Jiang’s enterprise when he was struggling, but Jiang Xingyuan felt he did nothing wrong. In this world, it is easy to add flowers to the icing on the cake, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow*.

[T/N: It’s an idiom which means, it is easier to flatter the rich/powerful than to offer kindness/goodwill to the needy/impoverished.]

He could understand the behavior of his partner, but what he could not understand was the behavior of Ruan Yingyin in his previous life.

Even if they had no feelings for each other and were just each others’ bed partners, when they signed the contract before going into the relationship, it was clearly stated that both parties were not allowed to have a relationship with anyone else.

This was clearly written into the contract, and he also reminded Ruan Yingyin several times.

However the results –

Jiang Xingpuan pulled the corners of his mouth in a bloodthirsty smile.

He pulled his tie with a gloomy face.

Ruan Yingyin, saw his gloomy appearance the moment she opened the door and her heart skipped a beat.

She grabbed the door handle with her hand, weighed her tone, and asked with some caution, “You’re back? Why did you come here so late?”

Jiang Xingyuan was much taller than Ruan Yingyin. He propped up one hand on the wall and lowered his head to survey Ruan Yingyin’s face.

Nervous, scared, cautious.

Especially her eyes, which were obviously seductive foxy eyes, but somehow resembled a fluffy little animal.

Black and white, bright and clear, he could see his own reflection in them.

Jiang Xingyuan’s heart, which had been very irritable and desperately needed something to vent his anger, somehow suddenly softened a bit seeing her face.

Ruan Yingyin was afraid that the atmosphere between the two would become like the calm before the storm.

She had no words but still somehow opened her mouth, “I have sent the lotion to Xu Hao, and Xu Hao said that he also got the lotions.”

Jiang Xingyuan was annoyed and rubbed his hair, which was disheveled for riding on the plane overnight. He knocked on Ruan Yingyin’s door before he could take care of his appearance, which made him even more annoyed that he wanted to hit someone.

This woman who betrayed him, took his money, and left with a young man. All her deeds weren’t too far from punishing her to the eighteenth level of hell.

But in front of this changed and strange Ruan Yingyin, he couldn’t even do that.

This made Jiang Xingyuan particularly annoyed, so his tone turned cold, “I know, I’m going to take the exam tomorrow. Prepare a bag of writing equipment for me.”

His eyes looked over her shoulder to the books on her dining room table and snickered as he said: “With how low your grades are, you had better sleep well.”

After saying that, he reached out, and closed the door on Ruan Yingyin’s face with a loud bang.

Before Ruan Yingyin could react, the door was closed by him from the outside. Her body subconsciously lunged forward and was flung on the door.

Her ribs were accidentally knocked by the door handle.

Ruan Yingyin frowned in pain and rubbed the place a few times. Seeing it was getting late, she quickly went back to continue reading on tomorrow’s exam.

Before going to bed, she prepared writing equipment for her and another one for Jiang Xingyuan.

Luckily, she always buys a lot of things every time and hoards them up so she can use them when necessary.

Therefore, it wasn’t a problem to prepare another set of writing equipment for Jiang Xingyuan.

It was just that her writing equipment was bought in the style she liked. The pens and pencils were all pink, and all had little hamster patterns.

God knows, the Internet is almost full of HelloKitty cartoon pens! She searched for a long time to find hamster ones!

Why do so many people like cats? Cats are so scary and mean! Hamsters are so nice!

****

The next morning, when Jiang Xingyuan just got out of his apartment, he saw a pencil bag hanging on his door handle.

The pencil bag was pink, which obviously looked like a little girl’s.

He paused for a moment, and took the bag with a look of disgust. He opened the bag and took a look inside. It had pen, pencils, eraser, ruler, and round gauge, all with the exact same pink colour.

And each one of them matched the other. The pattern drawn on them were cartoon hamsters.

Ruan Yingyin seemed to like hamsters. Her hair band had a fluffy hamster and even her brand’s name is Silver Hamster.

Jiang Xingyuan touched the cartoon hamster on the pen, retreated to his room, and put the bag properly away in the drawer in his bedroom.

In the drawer, there were many small things, including the hamster hair band that was taken off from Ruan Yingyin’s head last time.

He arrived at his exam room empty-handed.

The examination room was divided according to the previous monthly results. Behind him was Liang Yuan, who was already sitting in his position and was chatting with the girl at the back.

Jiang Xingyuan took a look, found a random boy and knocked on his table: “Got any extra pens?

The boy naturally knew Jiang Xingyuan, and had heard of his name.

He hurriedly nodded: “Yes, yes.” Then he was about to hand his pen over.

But Ye Yuyu, who was sitting in front of the boy heard their conversation and quickly picked up her own pen and handed it to Jiang Xingyuan before the boy: “I have an extra one, you don’t have a pen with you, right? You can have mine.”

Jiang Xingyuan frowned for a moment. When Ye Yuyu’s hand reached over, his body subconsciously avoided it.

His eyes swept over the girl’s face and his eyes turned cold. But he didn’t say anything, just took the pen from the boy’s hand and returned to his position.

Ye Yuyu’s complexion turned dull, she gritted her teeth and reassured herself before turning back.

The first exam was English.

Ruan Yingyin frantically memorised English words and reviewed the questions last night. So when answering the questions, although she stumbled a little, she was able to answer all the questions very well.

Especially the listening, she listened very carefully. The English essay was also okay, she used all the sentences she memorized yesterday.

So after the English test, she was in a good mood.

But Yang Tong, who was in the same exam room with her, looked lifeless.

Yang Tong’s grades were not good, so he was naturally in the last examination room. Ruan Yingyin and Yang Qingwei were transfer students, and they had no previous grades recorded, so they were also in the last examination room.

Ruan Yingyin’s seat was in front of Yang Qingwei’s in a Y position. And Ruan Yingyin and Yang Qingwei were separated by a few transfer students between them.

Yang Tong was sitting on the right side of Ruan Yingyin.

Yang Tong grades were always the lowest, and he heard that Ruan Yingyin’s grades were also low in her former school. Therefore, to seek comfort from his own kin he asked Ruan Yingyin, “English is really the suffering of our life, what do you think?”

Ruan Yingyin tilted her head and answered, “I’m done, but I don’t know what will happen.”

“I’m done too.” Yang Tong said, “I wrote whatever I could. I copied some of the paragraphs from my English homework original reading comprehension. I hope the English teacher won’t read my answer sheet so diligently and give me a few marks.”

Ruan Yingyin blinked, thinking that if Yang Tong was so nervous about his English test, she shouldn’t have a problem getting more marks than him.

But she couldn’t be overconfident. The exam had just started, she had to keep her pace in the next exam too.

However, Ruan Yingyin couldn’t keep her pace.

When she took the Physics test in the afternoon, she got stuck on the last question.

Ruan Yingyin carefully read the question three times.

The teacher didn’t discuss this topic in the class, nor did she find it in her homework ah.

Although she had a few ideas to solve this question, she wasn’t sure if she was right or wrong.

She hesitated to write but till the end, the place for the last big question was empty.

When she glanced beside her, she found that Yang Tong’s Physics paper was full of dense formulas and calculations. Even the last question was answered.

Ruan Yingyin was frustrated. After handing the answer sheet to the teacher, she bit her pen and asked Yang Tong, “Do you think Physics is hard?”

Yang Tong said happily, “It’s much easier than English. I’m the best in Physics!”

“Sorry, but can’t talk to you anymore, I’m going to play soccer, bye!” After saying that, he hurried out of the classroom to spend a nice dusk with his favorite soccer ball.

Ruan Yingyin hung her head and took her school bag and her umbrella before walking out of the classroom in a lifeless manner.

Yang Qingwei, who had finished the three exams with confidence, was in a good mood. She looked at Ruan Yingyin, smiled and chased after her before asking: “Ruan Yingyin, how was your exam?”

Ruan Yingyin turned her head and gave a blank stare at her, then she turned her head back, pursed her lips but didn’t say anything.

The corners of her lips were curved downward.

The last physics question, she couldn’t solve it. A big physics question, she lost 12 marks ah!

Yang Qingwei’s eyebrows rose. She looked at Ruan Yingyin’s downtrodden appearance, and her mood became incomparably soothing as she mocked: “Ruan Yingyin, do your best. Dad is still very optimistic about you. If you can get the first place, Dad may personally call you back home.”

Ruan Yingyin automatically ignored Yang Qingwei’s words. She opened her umbrella, and walked out of the school building.

Yang Qingwei, who was standing next to her and was ignored, got angry when one corner of the umbrella poked her face as Ruan Yingyin was opening it.

She said angrily, “Ruan Yingyin, are you blind?”

Ruan Yingyin had already walked out of the school. She was already in a sad mood, and automatically ignored everything Yang Qingwei said.

She had to go home quickly and review the three subjects before the exam tomorrow. This way she might have a chance to catch up with Yang Tong.

After all, if she couldn’t do better than Yang Tong, she wouldn’t be able to get on her Ferris wheel!

It’s the Ferris wheel! Her favorite Ferris wheel! The most carousel-like Ferris wheel!

**

At dinner time, on the large dining table, Jiang Yaozhi sat at the main seat, with Jiang Xingyuan and Chen Jingyi on both of his sides respectively.

Jiang Yaozhi was wearing a suit, his facial features were similar to Jiang Xingyuan. Although he was already middle-aged, he took excellent care of his body, so his face still had a trace of handsome appearance to the point that even young girls are willing to chase after him.

But his face was cold and frosty, like the silver-white metallic luster of the tableware in front of him.

Chen Jingyi wore a professional suit of women, making her figure stand out. But her face was also cold and silent, exactly like Jiang Yaozhi.

She looked across at Jiang Xingyuan and asked, “Xingyuan, how was your exam today?”

Jiang Xingyuan slowly and methodically cut his steak, he was wearing his school uniform. He smiled a little and answered, “Just so-so.”

Jiang Yaozhi put down his knife and fork at his words, “Jiang Xingyuan, what kind of attitude is that?” When he looked at Jiang Xingyuan, his eyes interspersed with the intimidating pressure of being in a superior position.

If it was Jiang Xingyuan of his childhood, he would certainly be afraid, and the Jiang Xingyuan of his sophomore year of high school in his last life would have been annoyed.

But in this life, Jiang Xingyuan just smiled as he flung his knife and fork on the dining table, “Tell me straight, why did you two ask me to come back?”

Jiang Yaozhi looked at Jiang Xingyuan quietly.

Over the past year, Jiang Xingyuan has changed a lot. The son who used to not dare to resist him at all, for some reason, was no longer afraid of him.

Jiang Xingyuan even stirred up trouble between his father and him. Because of this matter, Jiang Yaozhi was called back by Jiang Cheng several times.

Jiang Yaozhi put down his knife and fork, crossed his fingers and leaned on the back of his chair: “Jiang Xingyuan, although I know you have your grandfather to back you up, but you have to remember, I am your father. I’m doing what is good for you.”

“Father?” Jiang Xingyuan felt ridiculous at the word, but he did laugh out loud and only said, “If it wasn’t for grandpa’s sake, I wouldn’t even have come here today. I’ll leave if there’s nothing.”

Jiang Yaozhi leaned back in his chair, looking at the person who got up and walked away, and faintly spoke out, “You must take first place in the monthly exam. If you don’t get first place, you’ll know what punishment awaits for you.”

Jiang Xingyuan’s footsteps halted.

He turned his head and looked at Jiang Yaozhi with a deathly glare.

The two people’s eyes collided in mid-air, and the atmosphere became tense.

Chen Jingyi sat aside, as if she was just a bystander. She did not make any movements, and just watched quietly.

She even lowered her head to return a work related text message.

Jiang Xingyuan tilted his head and pulled the corner of his mouth, the hand hanging at his side clenched into a fist.

His blood was boiling, his eyes were tinged with red, as if he wanted to kill the two people in the room. Like a wild, ruthless beast.

But slowly, he relaxed.

There were thirty security guards in the villa. These security guards, one more powerful than the other, he knew it better than anyone.

He could knock Jiang Yaozhi down with one punch, but he couldn’t take care of thirty security guards at once.

And against Jiang Yaozhi, relying on violence and power is useless.

He’ll take his time, he is only 17 this year. He has plenty of time.

Jiang Xingyuan shrugged his shoulders and left the Jiang family villa.

He didn’t have a home.

He wandered around many times on the traffic-filled street and finally chose to go back to the Wanhua neighborhood.

When he walked to the door of his apartment, Jiang Xingyuan looked at Ruan Yingyin’s apartment door which was closed and suddenly remembered the lollipop he took from her.

It was very sweet.

He felt a bit bitter in his mouth, so he didn’t hesitate to knock on her apartment door.

Ruan Yingyin still had three piles of books and three piles of small snacks piled on the table.

When she heard the knock, she scratched her hair as if disturbed, put down her pen in anger and went to open the door.

Jiang Xingyuan looked like condensed ice that just came out of the ice cellar.

He glanced at Ruan Yingyin, ignored the anger in her eyes and directly reached out to push the door open.

Ruan Yingyin gave a way.

Jiang Xingyuan walked in. He glanced at her table, where neatly arranged snacks were stacked on top. There was also the lollipop he wanted.

He walked over.

Ruan Yingyin’s eyes followed his movements and drifted over to see the snacks she had forgotten to move away. Her heart screamed and she rushed over before she could think of anything. Jiang Xingyuan had just outstretched his hand but before his hand could touch the lollipop, Ruan Yingyin rushed like a storm, quickly picked up the snacks with her two hands and hid them behind her.

Jiang Xingyuan’s hand stalled in mid-air, he withdrew his hand and looked at her with a grim face: “Ruan Yingyin, give them to me.”

Ruan Yingyin only pursed her lips. Last time when he robbed her snacks, she was very angry and upset.

Although she knew he would definitely be angry if she didn’t do what he wanted, Ruan Yingyin could hardly accept her snacks being snatched away by him once again.

She shook her head and looked at him warily, “This is my review night snack, you can buy it yourself if you want.” It’s not like he’s short of money.

Hearing her words, Jiang Xingyuan glanced towards the table.

She was revising math.

He didn’t care, nor gave a second glance and snickered instead, “What did I say last night, didn’t you hear? You’re still reviewing? Go to bed early and save some electricity.”

In his previous life, Jiang Xingyuan had all the information about Ruan Yingyin. Her grade school, middle school, high school, college grades were always at the bottom, there has never been an exception.

In this life, even if she has changed, Jiang Xingyuan didn’t think she could do well in the exam. It is just a dying struggle.

And telling him to buy snacks, the smile at the corner of his mouth tilted up.

Jiang Xingyuan just went on an errand a few days ago and had some cash on him.

He reached out, took out his wallet, where a thick pile of bills were lying inside. Taking the money, he slowly and methodically reached out to Ruan Yingyin: “I want to buy from you, are you selling?”

His words carried another meaning, with a hint of malice.

But Ruan Yingyin couldn’t understand his hidden meaning .

She only felt that Jiang Xingyuan wanted to buy her snacks.

But she didn’t want to sell, even though she had many, many snacks she had in stock. However, if she insisted on not selling to him, according to his temperament, he would definitely rob her.

Ruan Yingyin didn’t want that to happen.

It would be better if she just sold them.

She took out the snacks hidden behind her, both hands clutching the snacks in her palm. Her tone was reluctant as she asked, “What do you want to buy?”

Jiang Xingyuan pointed to the lollipop.

Ruan Yingyin took the lollipop out and handed it to him.

Jiang Xingyuan snorted, took it and handed over the pile of money with contempt in his eyes.

Ruan Yingyin looked at the money handed to her, bit her lips and began to think carefully.

The market price of a lollipop is one dollar, but she is surrounded by lollipops, and her lollipop was of the best quality since she didn’t want to hamper her health by having too much.

So, she should take the appropriate amount.

Ruan Yingyin reached out to draw one bill.

But then she remembered the lollipops he once snatched away before and the small snacks he gave Yang Tong with them without her permission.

He also took a packet of melon seeds and nuts, a packet of peanut rice, a packet of small dried fish, and four candies.

A total of 8 packets, she could remember it clearly.

Counting the prices of the snacks, Ruan Yingyin drew 8 more bills from Jiang Xingyuan’s hand.

She also gave him a bag of writing equipment which wasn’t that expensive.

So Ruan Yingyin drew another one.

After drawing several bills from Jiang Xingyuan’s hand, a total of 10 bills were in Ruan Yingyin’s hand which was a lot!

Ruan Yingyin was very satisfied with the outcome. Holding the ten bills in hand, she said, “There you go.” The corners of her lips lifted slightly.

Jiang Xingyuan looked at her smile blankly.

He just watched a bunch of his bills being robbed. His money… But when he saw Ruan Yingyin pondering carefully while drawing money from his hand. And when she took one bill, she was very careful not to draw more than one bill and felt so amazed that he forgot to stop her.

He actually just stood there, holding the stack of his money. His money, and watched her slowly draw!

Jiang Xingyuan gritted his teeth, took the rest of the bills back, and directly turned around to leave.

On the way out, he closed the door with a loud bang.

The bang scared Ruan Yingyin so much that she opened her eyes wide.

She subconsciously touched her hair, was her goods too expensive?

Outside the door, Jiang Xingyuan leaned on his apartment door.

He ripped open the wrapper of the lollipop and put the candy in his mouth.

It was sweet.

Jiang Xingyuan bit into the lollipop and went into his room, only when he passed the living room, he realised something and stopped in his tracks.

The sweetness is all fake, this world is bitter from the beginning to the end.

He took the lollipop out immediately and threw the candy into the trash can with disgust.
