Chapter 139: Chapter 0139: Behind the Scenery Is Blood
Zhao Wusheng and Wang Shengli originally planned to arrange a hotel for Qin Rumeng, but they were mercilessly rejected by her.
She didn’t want to deal with these officials; they were too hypocritical.
And after she even threatened them, Wang Shengli had no choice but to abandon the idea of secretly stalking Qin Rumeng.
Fortunately, he had learned that Qin Rumeng was Ye Xunhuan’s auntie. To find Qin Rumeng, all he had to do was to look for Ye Xunhuan at the Huangtu Group.
After leaving, Qin Rumeng and the others headed straight for Xiao Jiu’s nightclub.
However, Qin Rumeng took Tang Yurou with her, and as for Ye Xunhuan, hehe, he could take a taxi by himself!
This left Ye Xunhuan speechless. After all, he was Qin Rumeng’s nephew.
Yet Qin Rumeng completely ignored him, and his car was still parked at the Huangtu Group!
Xiao Jiu’s nightclub was different from others; it had its own rules that no one dared to break, ensuring that Qin Rumeng could go wild inside without anyone daring to lay a hand on her.
Of course, flirting was unavoidable, but faced with Qin Rumeng’s sharp and vicious tongue, every man retreated in shame, not daring to provoke her.
Tang Yurou was as shy as ever, but she was full of curiosity about Qin Rumeng and Ye Xunhuan’s identity.
As Ye Xunhuan’s auntie, Qin Rumeng was impressive. Could Ye Xunhuan be just an ordinary Joe? Clearly not!
Inside the nightclub, Qin Rumeng acted like a gangster girl, drinking and dancing, and even dragging Tang Yurou along.
This was a source of frustration for Ye Xunhuan. Tang Yurou was a good girl now, but Ye Xunhuan felt that if she hung out with Qin Rumeng, learning to be bad would be all too easy.
This woman was too much trouble, unequaled by any regular person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have earned the nickname of "Demon Queen" in the circles of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei!
After going wild for a while, Tang Yurou decided to go home, since it was already so late, worrying that her parents would be concerned if she didn’t return soon.
Qin Rumeng initially refused to let Tang Yurou go, but after Tang Yurou repeatedly promised to spend the next day with her, Qin Rumeng let her leave.
She then tossed her car keys to Ye Xunhuan, telling him to take Tang Yurou home but to come back afterward.
Ye Xunhuan didn’t want to take Qin Rumeng’s car keys, and he certainly didn’t want to come back, but he had no choice but to give in to her verbal threats. So he took the keys and dropped off Tang Yurou before returning.
Even though Qin Rumeng’s car was a supercar, Ye Xunhuan drove it smoothly and effortlessly, not showing any unfamiliarity.
"My auntie didn’t scare you, did she?" Ye Xunhuan asked while driving.
Tang Yurou shook her head, "No, no, your auntie is very nice."
"Nice?" Ye Xunhuan said somewhat exasperatedly, "Do you see her acting anything like an elder? Crazy and wild, and she even pinched my..."
Just thinking about it made Ye Xunhuan utterly frustrated.
In all the world, aside from Qin Rumeng, it would be hard to find another who dared to pinch his...
Looking at Ye Xunhuan’s endlessly gloomy expression, Tang Yurou chuckled, "Actually, my little aunt is really nice. I can tell that she’s very, very good to you!"
Hearing Tang Yurou’s words, Ye Xunhuan smiled wryly.
Qin Rumeng indeed treated him very well, very well; as long as it was something concerning him or something he wanted, and she could provide it, she never stinted.
Even if she didn’t have it, Qin Rumeng would find ways to get it for Ye Xunhuan.
One could say that Qin Rumeng was extremely indulgent towards Ye Xunhuan.
"And today, if it weren’t for my little aunt, you might..."
Ye Xunhuan smiled lightly, "What, you want to find out about my background?"
Tang Yurou didn’t speak.
"My little aunt is from the Qin family of the capital city. However, strictly speaking, she doesn’t carry the Qin surname. I won’t say what her actual surname is, but she has always lived with the Qin family and is my grandfather’s adopted daughter..."
"Your grandfather’s adopted daughter?" 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
"Yes!" Ye Xunhuan nodded, "No matter how glorious my little aunt seems on the surface, feared by all, she is actually very pitiable!"
Tang Yurou remained silent, quietly listening to Ye Xunhuan’s story.
"My little aunt’s family used to be very illustrious, but they have always had few children, especially in her father’s generation, where only her father was left!"
"Moreover, her father was a soldier. During a secret mission, my little aunt’s father was killed, and her mother also died in that mission, leaving only her behind. My little aunt’s grandfather, in his white hair, sent off his black-haired man, never to recover, and so the entire family fell apart, leaving only my little aunt!"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan’s face slightly darkened.
Tang Yurou’s delicate body shuddered abruptly.
"At that time, my little aunt was only about four or five years old. Her parents’ departure and her grandfather’s death turned her into an orphan. But just before passing away, her grandfather entrusted my little aunt to my grandfather and two other individuals, asking them to take care of her!"
"She used to live in rotation among the three households. Later, for some reason she chose to stay with the Qin family, and even changed her own name!" Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath, "And so my little aunt continued to live with my grandfather’s family, becoming a part of the Qin family!"
Although Ye Xunhuan spoke succinctly, Tang Yurou was stunned.
The General’s household was shattered overnight; what did that mean for a four or five-year-old child?
How large a shadow would it cast over her childhood?
How did she cope, watching those scenes unfold? As time and circumstances have changed, how much of that unbearable past pain remains in her heart?
"It’s also because my little aunt’s grandfather had students spread all over the world. Now that only she remains, everyone considers that they owe those favors to her. Coupled with my grandfather and two other elders backing her, my little aunt gradually developed a haughty and willful demeanor. However, her heart is very kind. She never bullies honest people, only stepping on the likes of those princely scions, those like Ji Yunlin!"
"So my little aunt is quite pitiable indeed!" Tang Yurou’s voice was somewhat subdued.
Ye Xunhuan sighed softly.
Yes, Qin Rumeng was truly a pitiable person. Seemingly lofty and unattainable, yet who knows that her splendor was exchanged with blood, with the lives of her own parents and grandfather!
